Also not a fan of MM's dress. I didn't think it did much for her at all. Last to the game, but This.

Why is it my child woke at 5 yesterday when we could have slept in...but today I’ve been up since 4 with all the commotion of MH getting ready (he’s the loudest human ever)...and it’s 6 and she’s still asleep!

slenle poor N. I hope she has a better day today. lfig I was wondering if you all were going to get hit last night. I saw a bunch of pics from Lake of the Ozarks storms and figured they were headed towards you. Stay safe! Everyone else is still asleep, so I'm drinking coffee in peace, going to finish up laundry, a guy is coming at 11:30 to quote our hardwood refinish then my brothers for the afternoon for my nephew's graduation party.

Morning, minimal internet here. The service was lovely yesterday and the rain finally stopped. We don't have cable at our rental so I missed the Royal wedding, but based on pix posted it looks lovely. I love that she wore Diana's ring and her second dress is gorgeous, but also liked the first.
We are going on a hike to spread ashes at 11 and then driving the 7-8 hours home. I have minimal patience for my mom, so hoping I survive the day.

I didn't like the heavy fabric of the dress (I felt like it bunched up), but I thought it was a very classic look.

slenle I teared up reading that. At DDs first gymnastic's show, she did half great then ran out crying. @xolastumicornxo congrats to L! Today is DD's gymnastic's banquet. I'm excited to get to sit and relax and eat without having to help anyone. She's excited because she has a new dress and there is a Dj and a photo booth. I have to figure out what to wear. I was excited that I fit in my dresses but I look a little bit pregnant still in most of them.

I woke up from a dream that mh had a girlfriend and we separated, he went to live with her, and worst part was he knew little things about her kid better than he ever knew about his. In 2hrs he leaves for the week so I better get this feeling settled before he goes

H has pink eye & either a rash from his shots and en EI or HFM. He won’t let me put him down.
I’m not sure which I’d prefer.

Morning, I am tired. I'm also over being uncomfortable all the time and my mood has been a bit low. I would like my body back please.
Not much on the agenda today. DS has soccer and I'm sure DH will be working on the basement. He made progress yesterday and it looks really nice, but it's going slow.
Late to the party, but I was also not impressed by MM's dress. Especially, after seeing it side by side with Kate's (which I loved). The fit, the color, and the fact that it just seemed like large swaths of fabric were not super flattering to her, IMO. She looked a little lost in it, since she's so tiny. They looked happy and she is beautiful either way, so *shrug*

Morning!! The boys are nutty but it's probably my fault for giving them toast with Nutella for breakfast. We're going to the grocery store then I'm going to take them to the museum after so DH can have a moment of peace. The gross weather needs to end!

Oh and I loved the James Bond-esque feel of Harry and Meghan leaving in the blue car all dressed up. But why, again, did her dress look so ill-fitting?

A went golfing this morning but his little sister is hanging with us today. Her boy friend broke up with her and she's taking it HARD. She asked to get out of the house we we're going to take the boys to a park. She's 15 and very emotionally fragile. I hope I don't say the wrong thing and make things worse...

My mom and I were talking and we felt like MM was in a lose-lose situation. If she’d gone for something really dramatic and glamorous, people would have complained that she was being too ‘Hollywood’ or trying to upstage/outdo Kate’s wedding dress. Or that she’s divorced, this isn’t her first rodeo, and she should be more subdued. So she opted on the more simple side and ppl are criticizing that. Also, it was a daytime wedding; typically a wedding dress isn’t going to be as fancy or embellished at that time of day. Kate is a future queen, I feel like she had to really embrace that and go for something that kind of made a statement. I guess this is just a long-winded way of saying that after some reflection I don’t think her dress is the disaster that everyone thinks, and I can see why she might’ve made the choices that she did.

tgrimes I hope he feels better soon. Landon sounds like such a sweet kid xolastunicornxo. Poor kid slenle. I think it's a lot to expect of a 4 yo. Hopefully yh let's up. snoopmommymom I had the same thought about Harry and the reception. Seeing the wedding was fine albeit kind of boring. I'd like to see them having some fun!

Morning. Dh left early to golf and the kids slept in a bit. we’re going to laze around for the morning and then we have a busy afternoon with the recital and my niece and nephew’s birthday party after. We’ll leave the recital after N (hopefully) dances.

Morning! The kids were up early and DH made us waffles and bacon. Now he’s taken C to the grocery store while I tidy up and B is playing.
No big plans here—more rain. He might take the kids to the indoor playground, and I’m hoping to sneak out for a manicure. I should probably start packing, we’re heading down to FL on Tuesday.

We watched Game Night last night and it was funny. My mom will go home this morning which always makes me a bit bummed because I love her company.
Back to the fun fair in the morning and rollerskating later this afternoon.

flamingo I agree on the dresses. I don't think it's fair to compare Kate and Meghan. I loved my wedding dress for me when I got married at 25. It is not what I would pick now at 36. I think they both looked beautiful.

tgrimes I'm so sorry H is sick. I hope he takes a good nap and feels better quick! I must live under a rock because I still haven't really seen MMs dress, just the pics on FB, which none of them show the entire dress. I also haven't watched any of the news coverage.
