Anyone watching the Wimbledon finals this weekend? I’m rooting for Serena!

Okay start to our weekend over here. For some crazy, unknown reason - both of my kids slept until 8am. What is that?! It was glorious. LO slept so late, however, that he only took one nap today (11:45am - 1:45pm). I kept him up until his normal bedtime at 6:30pm, and he’s stayed down so far. FX for a good night!
We have zero plans tomorrow. I’m hoping to catch a rerun of the ladies Wimbledon finals - hoping for Serena to win. That would be such a huge achievement for her, considering she had a baby in September 2017. Dang.

I wish my kid would sleep. We made it to 5:15 this morning. I guess the positive is she made it until 3 am before waking for the first time. Oh and shes also started taking a shorter second nap and then is tired and crabby AF at like 4 PM. So, that's cool.
H is on his way home today. He went as far as NC yesterday and is on the road home today. He should make it here by 7-8 this evening. I hope he likes coming home to a messy house haha.
Thanks for all the birthday love yesterday, E and I got dressed up and went to Target and out to lunch at Chipotle. It was a good afternoon!

I do not follow tennis at all but am super impressed with Serena - my O17 self is not tennis ready 😬 I am loving all the Kate and Meghan pics though!
Nothing much here today. I randomly decided to spruce up my classroom library so there’s a lot of spray painting and reorganizing this weekend between bouts of play. H wants to get take out of some sort and watch a movie after the girls go to bed. We have been staying up very late considering the girls usually get up at 6:00am. I’m enjoying the time together but the first hour or two the next day is rough.

It’s my 6th anniversary today! This morning we went to a big bin event to drop off some old TVs to be recycled and a broken bbq. Then did some returns at old navy. DH stayed home with the kids and I did ikea and Costco kid free. Just putting DS down for him afternoon nap 👍 Tonight we are ordering in something tasty for supper and then going to an escape room after DS is in bed, yay!!!

Im back from the almost dead. DD came down with a stomach virus last Wednesday and I was woken up with it at 4am yesterday. For 36 hours, I’ve done nothing but sit/nap on the couch. I finally broke the fever around 5am. Starting to feel more like a human but I still have no appetite.
My saint of a mother took both kids so I could rest. H is on the way home from an offshore fishing trip where he’s also been sick. Both of my ILs got it too. So far the baby seems to be spared so FX that stays the case.

thatgirlrachel, glad you’re doing better and fx baby escapes it. Thank goodness you have your parents to help you out. It’s no joke when you’re sick and have to care for kids too. It’s the worst. Hope you’re on a fast track to getting well.

cythe, happy belated birthday! Sounds like it was a good day. I think all if not most of O17 babies are napping less 😤 mine is certainly cutting no naps short. They’re learning so much now, they don’t wanna sleep. doodlemommy, happy anniversary. I would love to do an escape room with hubs but I think we’d end up sleeping in the room away from the kid chaos! 😂🤣

Taitai, I’m hoping to catch highlights tonight but the fact that Serena made it to the finals is impressive enough. She’s such an incredible athlete. I can’t wait to teach DS to play tennis. When did Michael Chang start? Age 3? 🤣

I have a rare moment now to sit for a min in piece. Baby is napping and I managed to clean The humidifier In DS’ room and I sent hubs and DS out to pick up some much needed groceries. Hoping they get back soon so I can get the vegetables prepped for dinner. We’re just chilling this weekend. Hubs is slowly making progress in the backyard to install a sound system - his wish, I couldn’t care less however I wish I could help but baby naps so little plus all the housework... Our neighbour has helped us tremendously by removing some landscape rock into their backyard. It’s a win win situation. They get rock for free and it’s just tossing it next door or they’d have to move it from the front to the back and we get to get rid of it - some of it anyways. Hoping by next week, we’d have sod installed so we don’t have a dirt pit. Sigh. I love hubs but he’s such a procrastinator and didn’t book the sprinkler guy until April which of course took a couple of months to get on his schedule. I called the guy right before baby showed up last yr and hubs met with him etc. but he couldn’t get his shit together before the cold weather set in. It’s hard to blame him with baby and all.

The whole family went swimming and the mosquitoes are unbearable. We sprayed ourselves with OFF and had a giant citronella candle burning. I forgot to spray my feet and they got attacked while I was sitting out. Otherwise that candle + spray really did the trick.

doodlemommy Happy Anniversary!! I hope the escape room was fun! I want to try one with H, but H thinks I’m so competitive that I’d get too stressed out 😆 thatgirlrachel Oh no! Sorry for the sickness- that blows. Fingers crossed that your baby doesn’t get it! 🤞

I'm sorry you were lunch  |

Well, interesting last 24 hours.
• H came home
• H forgot to turn his alarm off and it went off at 5:45, which happened to be directly in the middle of E's 4:45 wake up and her 6:15 start to the day...
• I ordered a cell phone case to cover my new Galaxy S9
• Dropped my new S9 on the end table last night and shattered the back glass.
So, overall F me.

thatgirlrachel that sucks, glad you’re feeling better though. I’ve heard babies don’t often get stomach bugs. I forget why. cythe sounds like you need some wine and to binge watch some TV, stat! Hopefully you can get the glass fixed relatively cheaply.

Glass update - took the phone in told her I had cracked glass. She assumed I meant the front screen and she quoted me at $349 to fix it 😥
Thankfully H took it out of my purse as she was talking and she saw it was the back glass which apparently is a separate beast all together. Luck was on my side today and they happened to have a back glass in stock - in my color. $59. My phone is dinged up but isn't a risk of slicing my fingers open anymore.
Moral of the story - don't shatter your S9 screen guys. Bad time!

My MIL’s side had a family reunion today. I was worried since there can be a lot of drama in her extended family but all those who stir the pot didn’t show up so it was really nice. There were a lot of kids for DD1 to play with, a bounce house, and tons of delicious food. DD2 is working on her second top tooth so she was a bit of a grump but was pretty content as long as we played “pass the baby” when she would get fussy.

cythe that all sounds absolutely awful. Drink all the wine or eta all the chocolate or whatever you need - you deserve it! Glad the back of your phone was MUCH cheaper fix. I’m about done with Apple and may jump to Samsung when we get new phones in a couple of years if things don’t change. Is your H home for awhile?

curmudgeon , I detest skeeters. They love me too but love hubs more. Reminds me. I need to stock up on some citronella pails. Hubs installed a bug zapper at the back of our yard. We’re hoping it actually works when we eventually get to hang out in the backyard in the evenings. By the time all is done and house tidied up it’s almost 10 and we’re too tired to hang outside.its also been too blazing hot to eat dinner al fresco. cythe , bummer about the phone but luckily it wasn’t awful to get it fixed. I cracked the back of my phone badly a while back and was afraid shards of glass would come off so I just used a clear sticky plastic sheet over it. Real high tech over here. trinitrotoluene , I need to go find and see! George and Charlotte were such cute babies.

Anyone going to watch SBC’s Who is America? We’re bummed that we don’t have cable cos from what I’ve read it’s going to be good. He’s so good at improv and to keep a straight face, not falter and keep in character is just something. I wish you could do ala crate cable networks.

How is Sunday over already? It’s almost 10pm and I’m debating fixing some food or just going to sleep. I don’t know why I’m still hungry.
H is watching some horrible show about Bigfoot haunting the woods. This is pushing me more towards just going to sleep.

Forces me to read all of HIH and lurk several boards. |
