Because of this switch, H will now be taking the kids to DC in the morning.. Which means we just had to buy car seats for his truck.

Yesterday was a good day for me. P’s class had an all day Valentine’s day party— pancake breakfast, lots of treats for snack and lunch, decorations, crafts, balloons, and they made a shirt for each kid with a photo transfer of a family pic in a heart. P had a great time. Then at home, I ordered pizza for her and we had a babysitter, and H and I went out to dinner at a really awesome Mediterranean place.

and I can't even shop around for insurance quotes because they run credit checks, which we can't have done since we haven't locked in our mortgage yet because this goddamn mfing builder is being unresponsive and hasn't gotten the CO on the mfing house yet. Can you ask if they can run a soft credit or a hard credit check? Most mortgage companies will see who is pulling the credit and if it's not for more loans, it's fine. Also, WTF to the monthly premium!!

Oh hey.
Belize was awesome! I caught a lot of fish, drank a lot of rum, and read two entire books while laying in the hammock. I can upload photos if you want. Despit my diligent sunscreen application I still got burned, and now I'm peeling, which is..... something.
We got back, and it was straight to work, and then cleaning up the book bomb that went off at my house. Yesterday, we got the call from school. Fever, come get him. Luckily it's an ear infection but gahtdamn if this flu season isn't horrible. Today, I'm home with the "sick" child, who after 2 doses of abx is feeling fine and being a loon.
That's my update.

Today was the 100th day if school. Isaacs class had a party at school and I volunteered. It was a lot of fun.
What wasn’t fun was finding out of at least 2 birthday parties that Isaac has not been invited to. I suspected. I mean we are Hauge at through the year and he’s been invited to one party which he was sick and couldn’t go to. Including one that was referenced as a “boy party”

My post is weird. I suspected that there have been parties that he was not invited to because we are halfway through the year. I was right and kids should be able to invite who they want.. But it still hurts

hi! Still no signs of baby coming. 4 days overdue. I go in for an NST tomorrow morning.
My MIL has been a total angel and lifesaver. I'm going to be so sad when she leaves on Sunday. I've been able to be a complete slug and relax and it has been wonderful. Kiddo loves her.

I took a half day today and it's been a nice balance of productive and resting. I had already taken tomorrow off, so it's already the weekend for me!

I'm sorry jedi, it hurts to be left out. Do you know if everyone or all boys were invited? Could it have been that just a few were invited? girlonabike glad you've gotten some rest. Fx that little lady gets a move on soon! That sounds like a great trip Peekaru! Yes to pictures! Always yes to pictures!

armpants likely just a few but still hurts. Especially since one of the two parties I thought was a friend of Isaacs. Isaac has known him (and I am friends with his mom) for almost 2 years. It seemed like she was going to talk about her son’s party and stopped herself today. Then one of the people Isaac talks about the most (a girl in his class) asked if Isaac has gone to any of the kids in class birthday parties.

I'm feeling less stressed than I have in a while. The half day yesterday was a good idea. I'm looking forward to being productive again today. Plus we have a date night tomorrow night. Good weekend planned here.

Everyone keep your fingers crossed please. Today is re-inspection of the house. If it passes then we will get the CO next Friday and can finally set a closing date.
