Jackson peed on my lap. Matthew pooped on the floor. 😐 I would not start this at the end of the day. Everyone needs to be in a good mindset and all are tired at the end of the day. Honestly I'd bag it for the night and start tomorrow. I don't have much time though. The next long weekend is in September. He starts preschool on August and has to be trained. I figure I need to use every waking moment this weekend.

My fear would be it becoming a negative thing. I know I'm more snappy at the end of the day. As long as you all can stay calm and positive, it will be ok. But judging from your posts it sounds like M is stressed and so are you. Just a suggestion.

LO threw up at daycare so I had to leave work early since dh didn't answer his phone until after I left. I didn't get a ton done.
LO had 102 fever I gave him Tylenol and now he feels fine and wants to run around like a mad man. I'm making him lay in daddy's chair and watch DuckTales.

I hope L is feeling better soon chrisy01Speaking of sick babies, I am currently getting S down to sleep she still has a fever. I took her to the pedi earlier and she was having a hard time seeing in one of S's ears so she told me to put drops in just in case it's clogged. H had a blast with her cousin at the children's museum.

I'm currently fighting the urge to tell a couple people on FB what an ungrateful assholes they are. Our park suffered the worst flooding our area has seen in 1000 years (according to the weather service.). We are slowly trying to get areas open to the public but can only do so much at once. Our parks FB page has been posting updates to keep the visitors informed and answer questions.
Our LE and maintenance have been working tirelessly trying to clear a very bad spot in the river. It's a very dangerous job. There is a strong current and they have to steady a boat while using a chainsaw to cut debris and stay out of the way when it breaks loose. Three 8 hour days of this and they finally got a chute cleared for people to float through. But it's still a tricky spot, so they put up signs leading up to it telling people to keep left. They did so for the safety of the floaters. Most people are extremely grateful and thank us immensely for all the hard work. But there's always that bad seed that wants to criticize. They have no clue how much went into getting that done and the dangers involved in that work. I'm biting my tongue because they don't like us to get involved in that stuff.

tgrimes props to your BIL!! Enjoy your night out, you deserve it. chrisy01 poor L. Hope he feels better in the morning. lfig sorry for the ungrateful jerks on social media. Those are the same people who'd be griping if there wasn't signage and the water wasn't cleared. I know it must be frustrating to read and not punch them through your PC!

We took the kids out for hibachi tonight and it went really well. I was not optimistic, as B was a real pill this afternoon and C was tired, but they did great. The chef was very personable and entertaining, which helped.
Now I just want some M&Ms and a big glass of milk, and it will be the perfect night.

And sorry about the jerks, you shouldn't have to deal with that. Side note: my phone recognizes that I use delightful a lot, because it suggested that before delicious, it gets us.

So my Mom insists that I have flowers outside on the steps and in front of the garage every year, and she makes the arrangements as opposed to me buying something in a new pot every year.
Every year she asks me what colours I want, I tell her and a few days later she shows up with them.
This year I tell her that I want red and white for Canada 150. She shows up today, takes them out with B.
Me: oh these are nice, I like the white and red, but Mom there's some blue in there. Mom: Ya I put some blue because it's B favourite colour. Me: oh ok, so you made me an American arrangement. Mom: oh....shit Me: ...
I mean...

I hope L feels better soon chrisy01! I loooove hibachi grill flamingo. My C hasn't been but B has and she enjoyed it too. I just finished altering the straps on B's recital costume. Talk about 11th hour. I'm exhausted, going to bed soon.

lfig I want brownies. Can I come over? Maybe I can bring them to you. My sister is in AZ right now. Her and all her girlfriends turned 40 this year and are celebrating by taking a girls trip to AZ. They arrived today and my sis sent me this pic of the back of the house they rented on some lake. So I could easily be swayed your way. Hopefully I don't eat all the brownies on the way!

vino that just shows that your mom recognizes that America is the greatest nation. Believe me, I've been to a lot of countries--tons of countries, more than anyone, and this is the best. Now believe me when I'm telling you, we're the greatest there has ever been. We're not like those losers overseas. #covfefe #maga

It's interesting, csho. Not sure of how I feel yet. There's a weird lightness to the episode that feels innapropriate.

peachsmama try not to stress because August is still a ways off. I didn't formerly PT. It was a process. I'd talk about it a lot and ask them if they had to go. Sometimes I'd just encourage them to sit on the toilet and try. Mix in tons of praise. Before long they figured it out and we're coming to me when they had to go. Cass was quicker than Maddie and basically PTed herself over 3 weeks. I never set aside a designated time, did the naked thing, or holed myself up in the house because that just sounded like fresh hell to me.

I wonder if they're in arrowhead lakes? That's what it looks like!
