Hi!
We're hanging at home. It's raining - surprise, surprise. I have been so mad about the memberships we bought - zoo and pool - because we haven't been able to USE them because of all of the rain! The pool is only open for a few more weeks. We will definitely not get that again. Zoo we can use all year so that's not the worst.
My girls are sleeping so I'm getting some homework done. One more week of this class, then onto Managing Human Capital for #9/10! Woot woot!
I got my Pampered Chef things from the party I hosted last week. I'm excited to get to use it all! We were going to grill pizza tonight on my new grill stone, but rain. UGH.
This week starts training for my new job except I won't have time to do most of it because, old job. Transitioning internally is so weird. But I'm excited to not be doing admin work anymore and be properly challenged! They had FINALLY started actually asking for my help with challenging work, too (drafting communication plans for organizational change, writing executive-level communications to staff, etc). I'm also leading a business initiative in our location for Employee Appreciation Day, leading workstreams like a proper program manager.

Busy busy here this morning. H got up with dogs and I got to sleep in until 7:15. I got almost 9 hours of (interrupted) sleep. I feel like a brand new person after a week of 4:30 alarms.
It's supposed to start raining here too any minute. I've already washed and folded the majority of the laundry, and I have a pot of marinara on the stove getting happy. I'll make some homemade pasta later on. Maybe I can convince H to watch a movie this afternoon. Perfect weather for it.

Oh man, the rain was crazy today!! Tomorrow is DD1’s 3rd birthday so I was at the party store getting balloons and things, and driving home was scary. One part of the road was so flooded I didn’t think I should drive through it. As I was waiting for the cars in the perpindicular road to stop so I could back out, the water rose so much I couldn’t even see the yellow lines anymore. Meanwhile lightning, thunder, torrential pounding rain. Scary!
Anyway. Now i’m trying to put the baby down for a nap but she will. not. go. down. Except on me. She’ll sleep in my lap today but not in her crib. Incredibly inconvenient when there’s so much to do to get ready for the party tomorrow!

Decided for dinner I'm going to make shrimp w mixed veggies and cous cous. Easy peasy. If I can get it on the propane grill in between rain storms even better.

I feel like I’ve done a million things today. Got up and ran five miles, showered, went to Target, took DD2 to dance, and we went swimming at my parents house. Currently getting everyone in bed and then I intend to follow shortly after!

Hi! I had a busy day today. After breakfast we went shopping and did some cleaning. Then after lunch we went to my bffs daughter’s birthday party. It was a ton of fun. Now we are home. Both kids are asleep. MH is setting something up for his D&D game next week. I may do some crafting. I am so exhausted though so it won’t be much.

I've decided to drop down to 2 pumps per day with school starting soon. I'm excited to get that extra 40 min back! I know I'll have to start supplementing but I'm trying to be at peace with that

I’m at a long weekend bachelorette party. I think committing to all three nights was a little bit of a mistake. I wish I was heading home today. I miss my family, but it’s also a pain in the ass to pump so much. So glad I can basically never do it again after this. It’s also been pouring all weekend so a lot of the activities the maid of honor planned weren’t possible. It’s honestly been a little boring. I’m hoping today is more fun.

She’s pregnant so I’m trying to think of things to do that aren’t bar related, especially since that’s never been her scene even before getting KU

The bad weather put the kibosh on both, unfortunately.

Hi! I have kept busy all day. I went to work, did some shopping, went to the grocery store, took a nap and then took G to the pool. Now we are relaxing until I make dinner.

Paint or pottery painting? Crafting? We have some neat shops that teach people to DIY which is fun! We have a studio around here that does cake and cookie decorating classes. It's on my short list for a bachelorette outing for my sister when we get to that time before her wedding. I'll probably plan a mani/pedi and lunch for us, then a craft activity for the BMs to do and invite her friends to, a dinner at a night place she likes to eat at, and call it a night. Maybe we'll do some kind of volunteer work with a shelter. She loves dogs. Idk. I have some ideas that aren't beverage related.

We went out to breakfast this morning (35 minutes away because my husband doesn’t like any of the breakfast places in town 🙄) and went to a public pool with slides and such for a couple hours this afternoon. For two outings that in themselves didn’t occupy a ton of time, I feel like we’ve been so busy all day.
Only two more sleeps until school starts back up! 😄
