Nanny candidate is a no show. Great We’ve hired 4 nannies and with each round of hiring, it is shocking how many people just don’t show up, don’t return phone calls, etc. So frustrating.

So we don't have Uber Eats by us, but we just got Door Dash---it seriously opens up a whole realm of possibilities for delivery. Up until then it was pizza or Chinese. We got it right before our second kid was born. With a toddler and newborn it has been a godsend! We recently got Skip the Dishes, which is similar and it’s been a game changer for takeout night

We opened an account for DS at our credit union this morning, and now we are at a food truck festival. I’m going to eat ALL THE THINGS. I’m waiting in a massive line for Asian street tacos!

H and DD are doing yard work. I am cleaning out what will be the baby's room. For the past 8 years, I've used it for scrapbooking and crafts. There is ALOT of crap in it.

MH is annoyed because I started working on our backyard pond that I asked him to fix over 2 years ago. So now he’s at Home Depot getting stuff to repair the lining and I’m lining up contractors to just pull the damn thing out. Marriage is so much fun.

I sent my family to the farmers market for fresh strawberries because I needed them out of the house. DS and I are a rather toxic mix of threenager-y and craxly right now. It's not good.
We have a department BBQ for DH's work and a third birthday party this afternoon so I'm making pasta salad and trying to conserve my mental and physical energy this morning.

I’m trying to get my house in order while the kids simultaneously destroy it.
I caught up on my workouts and am now melting into the couch.
I should take these kids to the beach today, but I may need a shower and a snack before I get motivated.

I... need to grocery shop and meal plan. I'm going to make enchiladas for dinner to use leftover shredded chicken I made on Thursday.
But... pizza sounds SO good. We just had it on Tuesday though to celebrate making it through my first day back to work... and tbh I am a picky bitch and always go to my fave place now that they opened a store in the burbs. So just any old pizza won't do... has to be my Santucci's.
I DID garden though, yay! I planted tomato, pepper, squash, cucumber, watermelon, lemon balm, basil, and parsley. Let's hope I can keep it alive.

It's HOT. Kids are napping after a morning park play. I'm sitting outside with some music and some spiked seltzer in my yeti while doing some Sudoku on my phone. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms mid afternoon so I'm soaking up as much sun before the storms roll in.

I swear, DD2 is out to drive me even more crazy than her sister. She loves to put fuzzy blankets or her lovey over her face. which I then move... which she then moves back. 3 months old and already plotting against me. This can't be good.

I need to workout too, and should be while the kids nap, but alas... I am.. not doing that.

It’s HOT here today. We’re still being lazy and half of us are in jammies munching on bacon and waffling about what we want to do today. Maybe a trip to the library, where it is cool under the redwoods by the creek, or maybe a trip to the pool, which is risky as it might be body-to-body packed.
My mom is on a mission to get my 9 year old signed up for more camps this summer that he doesn’t want to do. “Don’t you want to learn to surf?? What about mountain biking??” Lady, let him chiiiiiiiilllllll.

My favorite beach is closed because there is too much bacteria in the water because of a sewage spill So I guess I should say my formerly favorite beach ETA I guess this is also rain related but... ew

sunfrogger if you wind up with an excess of anything in your garden... hook a girl up! I’m not allowed to touch plants or grow herbs in or around my house. There has never been a positive result.

B did this too - I got the Aden and anais lovey blankets since they were relatively breathable and made me feel slightly less panicky about things winding up over his face.

We are home and the kid is napping again. He napped for 2 hours this morning so I was skeptical but I guess he still needed it. He got a bunch of shots yesterday and is running a temperature. There’s been a chicken pox outbreak in a nearby town so he got the chicken pox vaccine in lieu of MMR.

How is he doing with his transfer to the toddler room at daycare?

How is he doing with his transfer to the toddler room at daycare? He starts on Monday! He does pretty well with strangers so I’m hoping he’ll get used to the new teachers pretty quick. There are also 4 other kids moving up with him so hopefully that’ll help too. I’m also going to stop sending in pumped milk so a lot of changes! 😬

Had an adventure looking for the beach. Google maps had me going a certain way and said I had arrived only to be amongst houses on the water with signs saying no lake access.
Flagged down a guy cutting his grass and he told where to go instead. Guy was quite hot so I really need to get "lost" again at some point 😉
Get to the beach to discover there is no sand as it apparently is more of a boat launch area. Good thing I have instilled the go with it gene in my kid. She had fun playing with sticks and rocks from the water and kept telling me how happy she was! 🤗

It’s hot here today, so went we out earlier to run a few errands. Now we’re home watching Coco (it’s on Netflix) and enjoying our a/c.

DH put raffle tickets in every bag at the event (not actually looking at the prizes). We won the pool raffle basket. Which DD was so excited for. Except for one thing...we don’t have a pool.
