This week is going by slow. I blame the heat. I'm waiting for the shoe store to open because I need new walking sneakers. My current pair met an awful death this weekend and is being held together with electrical tape 😂 and my chucks are not broken in enough for walking long distances.
I cut everyone's fingers and toenails this morning, myself included. Basically, I should stop while I'm ahead. I have already reached my peak today.

Goooood morning! Today's my first day of summer break! How am I celebrating? By going to the dentist. Woo hoo. The cleaning ladies do come today though so it really will be a wonderful first day of off. I'm also kid-free until next week. I love my kids but I need these few days to myself.

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary we were supposed to go out to dinner but H was still not feeling well. E was up at 12:30 & 3 for a feeding that hasn't happened in months. Ughhh I hope it's not a new pattern especially with her 7am wake ups. No plans for this evening with H just eating more leftover cake. We said no gifts but I got H leather luggage tags and a card.

Cutting finger and toenails always feels like an accomplishment to me Lakes. Then 2 days later they're back to being talons and I'm like, whaaaaat? Again so soon!? C'moooon. Hooray for summer break heybulldog!!!! You guys. B slept 7-6:15. My little shitty sleeper did his first ever sttn!! I'm completely amazed and dumbfounded and excited. 5 months of waiting and hoping. I thought this day would never come.  |

Happy anniversary peaseblossom55! Enjoy your kid-free days heybulldog. Good luck at the dentist. Sorry I haven't been around much. I think of you ladies often but rarely make it over here these days. I blame work and being tired. N turned 7 months the other day, which is craziness. I can't believe how fast these days are going! Otherwise I'm working from home but we had a power outage this morning so I'm at a coffee shop for the time being. I've started planning DD's 5th birthday party, which is also crazy. Life is flying these days! |

DS has a half day then we're heading to the splash pad with some of his classmates. We may stop by a pool party on the way home, depending on how the girls are doing. Concert in the park tonight, yay summer break!

We are off to a playdate this morning, my toddler is extra excited,she's extremely social so I'm happy that we have found someone to play with. Still unsure whether this gal likes us or feels obligated since our husbands are friends but it will be fun for the kids. The baby has started napping in her crib and its a happy step but it fills me with crazy anxiety because well I'm a crazy person. Lakes, Congrats on the nails cutting!! I say take the rest of the day off, sorry kiddos you peaked already. Happy Summer Everyone!!!! |

Morning! Work this week has been innnssaaannnneeeee. Today's been nuts so far, I should have known when it started by my 2 year old "most likely" breaking his nose. I was getting the baby ready, and saw the toddler trip/face plant into the door post, with his nose taking the entire impact. The poor kid. Blood everywhere. I had to present at 9:30, so thankfully my husband was WFH and able to take him to the doctor. They didn't see anything that would require operation, and it wasn't crooked, so just need to wait it out.
On a more positive note, L slept 10 hours straight! 7:30-5:30, and for the first time in 2 years I slept 8 hours in a row without my eyes opening once. It was amazing.

I went online to check the reviews on the Merrell's that I tried on and they're having a flash sale. $40 cheaper than the store I was in! They'll be here on Monday which means today I went on a walk with my poor taped up shoes.
The kids are being so needy today, it's exhausting. They're not being bad...just needy. Dd keeps rolling but then gets stuck on her belly and is not happy about it. There's a rare double nap going on now so I'm eating all the Pirate's Booty in silence and drinking sun tea that I made yesterday.

rinny, That's awesome!! The sleep that is lol I'm home today. I was feeling nauseous last night after the fair we went to and figured it was the amount of spinning rides H and I went on but I was still feeling gross this morning so I took the day off. Guys, minus a few brief interruptions, I slept until almost 11:30 this morning! I forgot what it's like without kids in the house. It's quiet. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Lakes I always feel like I'm on top of my game if everyone has their nails clipped at the same time. Glad to hear I'm not the only one getting satisfaction from that accomplishment. (Mental note to clip M's tonight bc they're out of control) Hooray for good sleep from B ellabee! Hope your toddler's nose heals quickly rinny! How sad!

Having one of those days where all the little shitty things feel like they add up to too much. So I'll just count down to bedtime. And the glass of wine that will follow bedtime!
Poor M has a cold and her cough is so sad. She seems to be in good spirits but is so snotty.

That's all that got me through my three nights of solo parenting. Looking forward to the wine and fancy cheese. Mh commented he was surprised I still had wine left (he bought me two bottles before he left). It took me three nights to go through one bottle, I haven't opened the second yet. I think he forgets that someone has to get up in the middle of the night and be functioning in the morning. |

Lakes, same life. N gets trapped on his tummy a lot lately too and gets frustrated. They'll figure it out soon enough! Enjoy the double nap.

carrots oh no! I though that was going to be a leaky boob problem, not a soap stain. Also, I love that shirt! That color is fabulous.

Paging ellabee , for a passive aggressive neighbor story. The only neighbor we don't really talk to is an older man across the street who also has a boomerang slacker son. We smile and say hello but that's it. His son is a piece of work but that's a whole other ball of wax. I go to get the mail today and there's an envelope that's been written on. It says "6/8 wrong delivery. Please send to ABC address." Underneath that it says "6/10 again you sent it to XYZ address - please look at the address and send it to ABC!" The XYZ address is the old man across the street. Just walk it over and put it in my mailbox dude, it would have taken less time than writing on the envelope twice.  |

I've been MIA lately. My parents were here and work has been busy this week and I can't keep up with social media.
We're all doing well. N is a cheerful baby. Still not rolling over yet but she'll get there. I can't believe she's almost five months old.

thelittleredm, that sounds like an amazing amount of sleep, cherish it while you can. carrots, sorry about your shirt, i hope the blob comes out in the wash. Lakes, old people do the weirdest stuff, probably has some beef with the mailman. Thanks everyone for the well wishes on the play date it went really well. The conversation never felt forced and the kids mostly got along. I hope we can do it again because having a friend would be really nice.

DD's new form of playing is what can only be described as a high-pitched dragon squeal aka not fun for anyone but her. Here's hoping this stage passes quickly 😳
