joelies I used an oscillating standing fan at my Dad's since his ac was broken. Cheaper and easy to put away when not in use. Yup, we have a ton from last time this happened. Total lifesavers!

We went swimming this morning at our gym’s outdoor pool. Then i drove around for an hour while the kids slept in the back. Now I’m sitting in the car in our driveway because the kids are still snoring in the back seat. I think later we’ll have a water balloon fight in our yard. I bought a pack of the balloon devices that you attach to the hose to fill up like 10 at a time from Costco a month ago. O’s been asking ever since if it’s summer yet so we can fill up the balloons. I hope to sit on my deck later and drink wine if my kids behave and play nice.

What is a good side to being to a cookout on Monday? I'm thinking cowboy caviar (corn beans avocado) but I need something else. There are nut and egg allergies.

Happy weekend all! We don't have plans and just regular weekending, but mixing in some summery stuff. Just hit Costco and Target and j fell asleep on the way home and now is still snoozing and we need to get N down for a nap in the same room. We may hit the pool if the storms hold off.
Oh has any kids had issues with pulling hair out? N does it while falling asleep and she has a little bald patch to go with her awful haircut 😩.

Hi!! tallb to make you feel better about N’s haircut, I just tried to cut Rylands hair myself..... it’s a good thing he’s cute and it’s summer break!!! My parents showed up in town yesterday so we are heading up to their house to swim. We went to a friends house and let the kids swim and play and we drank all the drinks. It was fun (and they live a few houses down so we can both drink and then walk!) and then we came home and finished 13 reasons why. Such an amazing show, but super hard to watch and very triggering.

Hi all. I'm waiting for the girls to get their haircut. Madison has been wanting the same short style as her 60 something preschool teacher for over a year so I'm finally letting her go really short. Cass wants to copy. Oh well. It'll grow back.
Meanwhile MH is midlife-crisising and buying a motorcycle. Very stereotypical. I told him this means I get Disneyland the next 2 years in a row.

snoopmommymom those water balloons are super fun. We still have some from last year. The previews for the new season of 13 Reasons Why looked meh, and really to me it was a 1 series show, but I'll still watch it. Probably next week. Riverside is so schmaltzy but season 2 is out and I'll watch that too.

Of course, they set up the ending to continue into a third season as well.

Just trimmed Cadence's bangs. They are a bit shorter then I wanted, but oh well, it doesn't look bad.

I’m getting cold feet about letting two people go on my team. How am i gonna look people in the face and say sorry you don’t have a job anymore?! One guy I’m certain he needs to go, his English is really bad so it impedes his work. The other guy is kinda good but also kinda lazy and coasts, so it’s not a slam dunk. Plus he has s clique and there are problems with other people not collaborating so i know people will say i made the wrong choice. Ugh. I need to do this by the 31st so they have a month’s notice.

tallb does N use a pacifier? My daughter twirled her hair into giant knots every night and a friend told me she would stop when we got rid of the paci and that is exactly what happened.

It is 4:15 and I just realized I have not eaten all day. Sitting at the drive thru at Sonic right now for a frozen lemonade, pretzel twist, and a corn dog. Hello happy hour!

snoopmommymom it sucks to have to tell someone they don't have a job. A different job at my company I had I was training new people. If they didn't meet standards at the end of the day I had to tell them they would either go back to get more training or no job. It sucks but you have to put all things aside and just focus on the task at hand. I usually had a favorite drink at home to go to afterwards. Good luck you got this!!
