silverspoon we actually feed our dog less bc she gets so many scraps at this point. It is nice when they feed themselves though bc then you get to eat again! nellieoleson my ct scan came back clear I think. I follow up on two weeks, but they sent an rx for fluid and an infection so that's suppose to help? I guess it's a best case outcome we will see if it works! I ended up in the chiropractic office today. I have had a sore neck for a while and today I laid down to stretch and literally could not get up. My neck and back hurt terribly. I have very limited range of motion and I have to go back on Friday. I also took dd3 in and the poor girl had a staph infection on her butt. Wth? So she and I will take our rxs together and eat lots of yogurt. I'm struggling this week and it's giving me a glimpse of ft work. I will be hiring a house keeper and buying easier food when the day comes. I'm fighting a losing battle this week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

dizzycooks - so glad it came back clear! Hopefully the new treatment plan helps. I have had a super sore neck and back for a week, too. It's horrible. I must have done something while we were preparing to move, although I don't remember anything crazy happening. I'm scared of chiropractors, but maybe that's what I need? I can't take this pain much longer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 18 year old cousin had the gall to text my mother pissed off that she and my dad hadn't wished my grandfather a happy birthday. There's a crap load of back story, but the gist of it is: he hasn't so much as sent a card for our birthdays in the last 20 years, he never makes an effort to talk to us, AND he called my dad a pedophile, so they haven't spoken in months.
Little bitch is lucky she lives across the country or I would smack her silly. She's talking about shit she has no business sticking her nose into, and she's being extremely disrespectful while she's at it. She didn't even have the balls to talk to my dad directly, which is ridiculous.

Shameless AW of my kid on her pony. Everyday she demands to go for a ride. 😍

Our new backyard is great, but these stairs are a serious stress to me right now! I'll be happy when we are all a little more used to them. It doesn't help that dd2 runs to the very edge of the top before careening to a halt. *poof*

Thanks kcrkcs. Family drama is nothing new with that bunch. They're all a little loony. I was just so mad that she'd take it upon herself to get up in my mom's face about it. As my mom pointed out, my dad is a grown man, and it's not her job to force him to speak to his father. Personally, I wouldn't want to speak to the asshole who called me a pedophile either.

I'm so glad your scan came back clear dizzycooks! Hope both infections clear up quick for you and DD. nellieoleson, I haven't seen a pic of dd2 in awhile. She is just precious! And my DD has the same hair clip! Gotta love Target 😉

We have been go go go on this trip. We will need a vacation from our vacation. It's been fun but kinda exhausting. Nights have been tough with DD and I'm looking forward to getting home tomorrow and back in our routine. Today is a more relaxing day. We are renting a boat for a couple hours to go out on the bay and have a picnic lunch. Then probably the pool in the afternoon. And then packing to drive home tomorrow. Ugh.

Anyone have ideas for how to train a husband to close cupboard doors? I swear I walk into the kitchen after he's been in there and 50% of the cupboards are open. It's like "You only poured Dd1 a cup of juice! How did this require 4 cupboards to be opened and why are they still open??!"
He is also the same with the fridge - if he gets anything out that will go back in he leaves it open until it goes back in. Dude would make an entire sandwich with the refrigerator door open.
Such a minor thing but holy cow it annoys the crap out of me.

nellieoleson I was bad for leaving cupboard doors open growing up. Between hitting my head a bunch of times, and a lot of nagging from my mom, I stopped doing it before I moved out. Other than nagging, I don't know how to get H to do something

kcrkcs, nellieoleson love those pics! nellieoleson, my DH does hte same thing.... leaves every cabinet door open! It's so strange. I'm glad to know he's not alone, lol. He also is bad about turning off lights and locking doors.... I try to mention these things to him because I figure if he doesn't realize he does it, he won't stop. doesn't seem to help. i have made a decent fuss over the door locking thing. he feels pretty bad but still does them.... never the frig though. guys are funny. also, i'd like to point out that you say cupboard and i say cabinet. i love regional dialect differences, so interesting! i am looking into lasik! very excited. i've wanted to for a while but i figure now might be a good time to do it in between being pregs. we have fun weekend plans with friends and i'm excited! My family is coming on sunday too! fun weekend. hope everyone has a great weekend!

@kelltothekell - I say cabinet and cupboard both! I guess I would use cabinet more for talking about all of them together - like "Let's get new cabinets for the kitchen." I would use cupboard more for an individual one like "Put the flour in that cupboard." I have no idea why and have never thought about the different words/usages before. I agree - interesting!

I use only cupboard, cabinet sound a fancy. My house is not fancy.
Side note: I'm hiding in the laundry room. It's the one room no one looks for me.

I say cupboard when referring to the ones in the kitchen. In the bathroom it's cabinet. I also use cabinet to refer to a stand alone China cabinet or enclosed shelf type thing.
I was bitching to my mom last night, about how I really want to do a girls night out with my sister and BFF (and possibly some of my sister's friends), but can't really afford it, and neither can they. So she came up with the idea to do one at her house! She can be the "instructor", we can BYOB, and assuming we can find a painting we all like, save a bunch of money on the supplies. We might turn it into a sleepover/campout in the backyard. My sister is down, waiting to hear from my BFF. And then we need to figure out a night to do it.

I'm exhausted. I cannot keep up with life ATM and it's wearing me out. Laundry, dishes, bed changing (not by choice...peed beds need changing) and the lawn are out of control. Literally do not have enough hours. I get that we all get 24, but I do not understand how I am struggling to fit it all in. It makes me feel like a failure. How can I volunteer for 4 hours and work 2 hours and not find time to do basic household upkeep??

We survived the last day of VBS. Tomorrow morning will be another chiro appt for me and the grocery store. I'm hoping to let the kids play outside for a lot of the morning. Dd3 discovered how to go down the slide and all she wants to do is go up the ladder and down the slide. It's really funny to see how determined she is. Anyone have plans for Father's Day? I've got very little...we are having a BBQ, that is all.

We are really busy this weekend with friends and family. It should be fun but didn't plan anything specifically for Father's Day. Today, I got a card and made a desk calendar with pictures for dh.

We don't have anything planned. H works Sundays. The kids and I will go hang out with my parents. Saturday we're all going to SIL's gender reveal party. Woo.

Hubs wants to go for a dirt. Ike ride for Father's Day. Way enough right? Except it's supposed to rain all day here. We will still go if it's not raining suppppeerr hard but I asked him if he had an alternate idea. JIC. I haven't gotten him anything but I was thinking I would turn one of the million cute pics I have of him and L into something.

We are attempting a lemonade stand today. It should be interesting. Our neighbor is having a garage sale so I'm hoping they get a little foot traffic that way.

O.M.G. Last night was... not good.
10pm: DH and I go to bed, both have problems falling asleep 10:45: I'm just drifting off when DD1 yells. She puked. We get it cleaned up. 12:00: After lying in bed waiting for her to puke again for over an hour, I finally drift off into a very restless sleep. 12:30: DD3 wants a bottle. DH takes care of her. 1:00: DD2 comes in, saying she's scared of being alone in her room. I go back to tuck her in. 1:45: DD2 comes in again. Rinse and repeat. 2:30: DD3 cries again. DH takes care of her. 3:00: DD3 cries again. Despite my poking and prodding DH, he doesn't move. I get up and take care of her. 4:00: DD3 cries again. WTF is wrong, child? 5:00: I'm supposed to get up for work but say no freaking way and turn off the alarm. (I set my own hours, so this is not a big deal) 6:15: DDs 1+2 are ready to go, so I get up and go to work.
DH has the girls at a friend's house right now, which has given me 30 min of total quiet at home, thankfully. And I may go to bed at the same time as the DDs tonight.

dizzycooks, you sound really overwhelmed right now! Can you cut back on something for a couple of weeks just to give yourself a breather? I know that when I get overwhelmed it can help to scale back a bit. Not that that helps the house get any cleaner, but if my sanity is intact and the house is a disaster area, I'll still call it a win compared to the alternative.

Yes dizzycooks. I know the feeling. When that happens I do as crimsonandclover mentioned. What can I not do? And still be semi sane? Sometimes making a list helps. Hugs. Life is hard.
