Morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend, we’ve been busy entertaining so I haven’t caught up yet.
I’m putting C down for a nap now and my ILs are headed home. Two days is about my limit—having my FIL in the house is like basically adding another kid to the mix, except you can’t really scold him or tell him to knock it off. If I had to listen to one more fake fart noise (not kidding🙄) I was not going to be responsible for my actions. Thank the lord my H does not take after his dad in certain respects.
Ok, vent over. No big plans today, I do have to empty my China cabinet bc it’s going out for repairs tmrw so that’ll be a project.

Also slenle so sorry you did not see the end of the game, that was crazy! We didn’t have a dog in that particular fight so we were just enjoying the great football. My Jaguars are facing the Pats next week so I’m not overly optimistic but it’s been a fun season...and we do have Coughlin (who has beaten the Pats), so I guess anything is possible. I wish I was back home, my mom said the city is going nuts, everyone is sporting their gear, etc. |

Lol at your FIL making fake fart noises all weekend . Does he think it's funny because the kids are around (not that it would actually be funny) or is that just his norm?

Hi all! Happy birthday, trtlcrzy! I just got out of a two hour meeting and am waiting for the family to arrive at the planetarium. No idea where they are, and the show starts in just a few minutes. The three big kids are home from school, so I'm putting them to work this afternoon. As I hopped in my iced over vehicle after my meeting, I thought about how much I'm looking forward to heat in a few months. Then I remembered I'll be in my third trimester for the entire summer. Dampened my enthusiasm a bit, but this cold is just too much. |

DH and I went to breakfast with C for his last day home. Tomorrow starts my real life. C cried through breakfast but friends of ours happened to come in and we're still waiting for their food so she held him while I ate. In an hour I have the appointment about my kidney stones. I'm nervous because it's a doctor I don't know and I hate that. Big kids have half day so DH can't come with me because they need to be picked up while I'm there.

Daycare is closed so I’m home with the kids. H is currently napping so I’m doing the dishes, laundry and chopping vegetables for our chicken pot pie tonight.

Morning(-ish)!
DH left around 5 this morning for the airport and I didn't wake back up until after 7. Daycare is open so I brought the boys just as the cleaning ladies got here, then I stopped to get more mouse traps (how many do we actually have??) and cold medicine. Now I'm sitting on the couch and I've done nothing aside from bait a mouse trap and put things back where they belong post-cleaning. I'm feeling better than a couple hours ago but I have zero motivation to do anything.
At the very least I need to go to Home Depot to get a toilet seat - the one in the boys' bathroom has been loose for ages so clearly it broke within hours of DH leaving for the week. Other than that, I need to eventually make dinner for the boys and maybe start piecing together a marathon training plan. DH has been encouraging me to go for it, so I want to work backwards from VT City weekend and see if this is actually doable.

Happy Birthday trtlcrzy. I’m impressed that you have been an awesome mom to two girls and you are just turning 30! I couldn’t take care of myself in my 20s let alone kids. You rock! And 30 is so young! Embrace it. The 30s are great. |

We are home while E is at daycare. We are going to brunch and to see Star Wars. We got a little bit of snow that might be enough for sledding or throwing snow balls

I’m in my basement watching the guys install my new washer dryer. I’m so excited. And I’m glad we replaced ours before they broke because they were literally on their last legs.
I’ve been going through my clothes and junk in my bedroom. Man am i a pack rat. We have the VVA doing a pickup tomorrow morning.
Later i have to work an MLK event at a local school.

Lol at your FIL making fake fart noises all weekend . Does he think it's funny because the kids are around (not that it would actually be funny) or is that just his norm? Yeah I guess he thinks it entertains the kids? Except one night the kids had wandered out of the family room and idk where my H and MIL were, but he sat there and continued to make the noises for a good minute or two, just he and I. 😳 Of course B picked up on it so that was super great. I think MIL figured out I was not delighted and said something bc he started to tone it down last night. He’s well intentioned but has an ‘entertainer’/oversized personality that can be wearing. |

That Vikings/saints game was amazing last night. And flamingo, I was happy to see the Jags over the Steelers. I’d love to see them do the same to the Pats! |

I wish I was back home, my mom said the city is going nuts, everyone is sporting their gear, etc. Yesterday when the Jags won, I wondered if you were a fan. They weren't doing great when I lived there, but I always hoped they would do well. MH used to visit the facility and network with their coaches when I lived there and Jack Del Rio was head coach. I hope they win the championship! |

Morning! Happy Birthday trtlcrzy! MH is home with both kids today because both schools were closed. I am actually glad to be at work because I've reached my limit. The boys about drove me crazy yesterday. We have a going away dinner for one of MH's interns tonight. He got a strength job with the Air Force Academy back at his home in Colorado. He and his wife were here about 2 years. We'll miss them - good people. |
