We're at the airport stupidly early. And our flight is delayed a half hour so we're even earlier. We don't board for at least 2 hours. I should probably drink Yep

We took the kids bowling. I'm drinking a beer while they toss balls down the lane and then we are going to a brewery for lunch.

Hey everyone. I'm finally sitting after what's been a crazy weekend. I hate working Saturday's, it sets me so far back in my to do list! But I did pretty good catching up this morning. vino, I hear what your saying....I second tallb advice. D really enjoys "helping" with some house hold stuff, which in turn is teaching him about chores. Definitely slows me down! But something like filling the dogs food bowl takes him a good 5min to do, and he's very proud of himself for helping. After doing something like that, he seems satisfied to then go play for a bit. Also, since he literally follows his 7y/o brother around, I found that he's playing with things W only started playing with recently. For example, D will sit playing with a Lego set for a really long time. Granted, mh has to help put it together. But he super glues the pieces and then they can use the sets over and over and add to them. There's always leftover pieces to build more or add on. But he is similar, I'm always trying to have things planned out so I stay one step ahead of him being bored!! Summer will help, lots of swimming which wears them out!!

Just left Richard's graduation to go get the boys to do dinner. Nagging him for 2 years paid off. He's got diploma in hand and I've fulfilled my promise to my uncle. I feel like a weight has been lifted. His attendance has been bad and I was concerned he would miss to many days.

Hey! We were out of town for the weekend and my H's family kept us busy.
Now I'm finishing up at the gym and am about to brace Costco.
Praise the lord for parking garages because it's pouring rain

Just got home from a kids bday party at a local children's gym. Both of my kids had a blast but neither participated in the group activities. They had a 3 foot deep ball pit, so my kids couldn't get enough of that.
Now we are home and I'm drinking wine and counting down til bedtime.

Thanks for the feedback nam2013, csho, lahdeedah, inthekitty tallb wineallthetime and suza. I do get him involved in all the chores but he is tired/bored of them before they are done. I guess I just have to increase my patience. This tour is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be and I maybe need to look it as situational instead of putting the brunt of frustration towards him. ....only 3 more months of this <----- sarcasm

Stay safe SweetPotato. If you bought ice cream you can just eat it in the car.

So my parents sold their home and my grandparents home. I just bought tickets to go out and visit one last time. Its bittersweet because I'm happy they are moving somewhere they don't have too much work to maintain but I'm sad to see both houses go. So many memories. My grandpa designed their house for my grandma.

@vinolove, I already feel like I lack patience, I can't imagine if I were in your shoes. I'm already dreading this week because MH will be working later than normal. So much respect to you and others in your shoes.

Late to the party today. So I think I mentioned that both M and I have been battling a summer cold this past week, but nothing too bad. Well, M woke up with a mild fever today. He's been acting pretty normal, but tried to keep him resting all day. His fever came down a bit and I'm hoping it it continues to go down. If it goes back up, we'll probably keep him from day care tomorrow.
Other than that, I ran out to do some errands and went through boxes of baby gear MH hauled down from the attic. I'm beat and ready to crawl in my bed. Why is the weekend almost over already?

Work was busier today than it was yesterday. After work I came home, got everyone ready and we went to the pool for an hour. Both girls love the water. Now I'm relaxing in my bed while DH parents in the living room.

I don't think I checked in today. I just can't seem to catch up on sleep, so the last two nights I took melatonin around 10 and slept really deeply. I took it tonight around 730, so I'm hoping to be asleep in the next 10 minutes or so.
