Hi! Late checking in today. I’m feeling pretty good today and we were busy. I got a haircut yesterday and it just wasn’t right, so first thing this morning I called to go in to get it fixed. After, we drove up to Birmingham to go shopping. I made some returns and got everything I needed but swimsuits for the beach next month. It’s tough finding tops to help my sad little boobs.
We’re finally on our way back. Both boys are knocked out and I’m hoping the transfer at home is successful because I NEED some peace and quiet tonight.

Day full of shopping here, after j took a 3 (!) Hour nap, we went to LL Bean and REI. We bought out REI with their sales - j got an adorable Patagonia trucker hat, I got a thin jacket to replace my fleece from college, n got some keens, and mh got some hydro flasks on sale. We didn't even get to use our 20% off coupon since we only bought sale stuff. So yeah, no spending for a while, but I love REI and Patagonia as companies and their political interests in National Parks, so I'm justifying the $$ that way. Now trying to get my homework done and then start reading for next week, blah. Thank you for supporting our National Parks 😉!

Morning. It's still 81 in the house, but it's 66 outside and still going down, so hopefully it'll cool down. I was very restless and had weird dreams all night, so I need to go run to get myself feeling a bit more positive before the day starts.
Today is one of my best friend's anniversaries. It would be 11 years but they've been separated since about this time last year. They have 2 kids (the youngest is also a N13er) and it's been really hard on them. It's just giving me a lot of feels this morning.

Morning! Charlie woke up yelling at 620 so he woke us all up. Our town has a parade at noon, but I think it's supposed to rain so we'll probably hang out here til dinner time.

I started watching Safe last week. I like it but have only watched 3 episodes. The accents are a bit much. I'm laying in bed watching Safe. Idk if I actually like it, but I'm seeing it through so I can see what the heck happened and where the girl is.

Morning ladies! tgrimes I hope He is feeling better today. joelies is this morning when you're going to talk to you H? If so, good luck! We spent all afternoon at the lake yesterday. It was fun, we eventually found a spot that the water wasn't too cold and could just stay in, because it was hot! Going to be hot again today, so we will head to my dad's pool. Evie's still sleeping, I love how much swimming wears her out!

Cats woke me up. Cadence came to my bed around 3:30, so I had a crappy night's sleep.
She and I are headed to Morgan's wonderland with my mom today. Then we'll go straight to the birthday party that is from 5-7.
Tomorrow we have every intention of sleeping in and doing nothing.

H had a coughing fit at 5:45 & wouldn’t go back to sleep so we’ve been watching Elmo songs for an hour. 🙄

J's whining and screaming and fits and tantrums is killing my soul. Like I walk on eggshells with my 2 year old to avoid a freaking 45 minute screamfest over the fact that he wanted to open the pantry door and I did it first. It's ridiculous.

A is golfing with my dad. Meeting them at the bank and clinic after. A needs his physical for insurance and we need to update our business name on our business accounts. Then lunch and I'm leaving the boys with him to do something. I might just take a walk at the park but I have to do something by myself.

tallb I love both of those companies for the reasons you mentioned. I have the book "family business" on Patagonia and it's pretty amazing. Sounds like you got a good haul!

I'm up. My ILs are here and we have my son's last soccer game on the agenda. H finished up the baseboard shoe last night, so I am hoping to start setting up the basement, yay!
My sister asked me yesterday if she could bring her kids to our pedicure and lunch and I politely declined 😉 I had just gotten rid of my kids and I needed a break. I ended up napping instead of going, so maybe I'll go today.
Baby forcast: Not much happening, she seems cozy.

Good morning. C woke up at 6:30 but was content to watch tv in the living room while Dh and I slept until 8. We all shared a bed last night at the hotel and he kept us up all night. I got kicked in the face at least three times.
We are going down to breakfast and then swimming. The plan is to keep him awake in the car for the drive home so we can all partake in family nap when we get home. I also need to grocery shop but I don’t know if the day before a holiday is the best day. Maybe tonight.

We're down to 77 and it feels pretty decent. We need to go grocery shopping and then my ILs should be over around 11:30/12 to watch the boys for the afternoon so we can go to my sister's reception. I need to bring something but it can't involve turning on the stove, not when we're finally cooling down!

I’m sorry lfig. What’s up with daycare? Is it the accommodations issue again? Fuck tgrimes. Fuck! Yes. We are now looking into moving her to the preschool at the Elementary school in the fall. Because they will provide her an aide through her IEP if we enroll her there. But the hours don’t jive with our work schedules so she would then have to be bussed to the day care for after school care. Currently for the summer they’ve asked if I could keep her home on our days off...which we typically do anyways...but I liked having the option to take her still when I needed that day for an appointment or to get caught up on things around the house without a needy 4 year old. Last week MH and I had dentist appts. We ended up canceling his so he could stay home with her.

Morning! It's my morning to wake up with LO. 535 was my wake up call. It's funny, 99% of the time he will wake me up or call out for me. This morning he called for daddy. But C and I made an agreement that I would do morning duty today. I bribed him with muffins and Jake and the Neversea Conquest to be able to take a nap. I can't fall back asleep.

snoopmommymom firing people sounds super hard :/ ... but you also don’t want their poor performance reflect on to you ya know? I’m sorry you have to be the one to make those decisions! xolastunicornxo I was wondering who’s pool that was that I see pictures of you all at sometimes! That’s an awesome pool! mwhip I feel like it can be tough to find the ’right’ life preserver when they are little. So many of them just aren’t up to par! And the weight thing makes it even more difficult. tgrimes Poor H! Did they tell you the next step if this STILL doesn’t fix the problem?? dapostrophe You need to google what massage techniques can put you into labor and have your H do it! You deserve a massage anyway even if it doesn’t work!

That sounds super tough lfig. Is bussing even possible to the daycare? Would it make more sense to have a babysitter situation after school?

But a babysitter situation would be preferable for sure. It’s just finding someone to do it that is challenging. One of MH’s employees wife works at the school. So we thought about asking if she’d be willing to take her home with her each day for and hour or 2 till we get off work. The only hiccup is that the husband that works for MH is kinda a problem employee (poor performance...but a great guy). So MH has to be the asshole boss to him semi regularly...so it could be an awkward situation. So we are on the fence there. But she has helped us out before.

sands42 The ENT didn’t give me a next step, but the allergist said to bring him back if he’s still getting sick regularly. Then maybe we could pinpoint something. The ENT just thinks he’s picking up every virus he comes in contact with though. I’m wondering if daycare would consider moving him up. It can’t help that all the kids in his current class still out all the things in their mouths, you know?

sands42 it’s our best friends who live a few houses down! Hopefully next summer we will have our own!! Morning! Busy day here today! Dh let me sleep in for a bit and then we picked up donuts and coffee and took the boys fishing at the park. We have some errands to run , I need to attempt to cut the other two boys hair, and we have two different Memorial Day parties to hit!

I drank all the champagne yesterday so I’m having to settle for a Bloody Mary.
I’m disappointed in myself....for not buying more champagne yesterday.
