duskymonkey hahaha I know, right? My H and DS1 count down every year to the opening of this store. And then are always a little bit disappointed because they still don’t have all the animatronics set up yet. My in-laws also have their outdoor fall decor out. Pumpkins, scarecrows, signs, etc. I think everyone believes decorating early will force cooler temps and nice weather to come earlier too. 😂

Ugh. I go back to work this week so I’ve been working on shifting DS’s nursing times. That has gone well but now that I’m going all day without nursing I’m pretty sure AF is about to rear her ugly head. I am super crampy this morning 😒 Lame. And DS was up from 12:20-1:40 last night and then at 4 and then for the day at 6:30. So I am much tired too. Greeeaaaat start to being back at work 😬 Tomorrow is going to suck.

Taitai It’s so easy to use, it’s like a mascara for your brows. I’m jealous of your low maintenance brows, mine are most definitely not. I use a brow pencil to fill in so they look uniform and then go over lightly with Gimme Brow. doodlemommy Congrats on your sister expecting and that’s so sad about her friend. Good luck tomorrow!

I just ate a giant bowl of Pico de Gallo so my Monday is going pretty awesome. I wish I had a Corona to go with it.

We had to make a trip to the old grocery store today because it turns out we are broke lol. We had been using Hello Fresh the last few weeks because we had a welcome to your new house discount. But now that it's over, $79 for 4 meals a week is out of hand.
Normally I dont mind spending money on frivolous things except someone in MHs chain of command isn't doing their job and its causing us to not get our housing allowance money. For those who dont know, we get our base pay and on top of that are given a fixed amount (based on rank and zip code) for housing. This literally pays our mortgage.
Anyway, when H changed commands from Virginia, our housing allowance amount changed. Sadly, who ever was supposed to file our paperwork left the office for school and just didn't file what he needed to? TL;DR is that literally half our paycheck is our housing allowance and the last 2 months we have gotten $0 and I'm stressing because our savings is almost gone. Gah.

Oh cythe that is stressful. I can’t even imagine, especially when your state is not exactly known for being a low cost of living place. Do they have a timeline to rectify this? Will you be able to recoup the last 2 months that they didn’t pay? I hope they get It figured out soon. |

Last months error was known, and on Hs LES (paystub) it shows we received an adjustment but our bank account says otherwise. We should know more tomorrow when everyone goes back to work. H seems confident it should be rectified as soon as the right people get the info. |

DS2 is sick again 😕. Really high fever just miserable. WE JUST DID THIS!! ugh. Like 2 or 3 weeks ago, whenever that was. He's in his crib now just whining and rolling around and I feel so bad for him. Meds aren't doing much today, hopefully tomorrow is better.
On a brighter note, DS1's first day of first grade is tomorrow!!

I’m going to try Gimme Brow! I’m excited about it - I think defining and darkening my brows a bit will be a nice change for me. |

On a brighter note, DS1's first day of first grade is tomorrow!! Oh no! I hope your DS2 feels better soon. Flu is going around here like crazy, and I’m so worried about the kids getting it. The hospitals don’t get the new flu vaccine until October, so I hope we can make it till then 🤞🤞 |

We had a lazy day which seems like a good way to celebrate Labour Day hah! Both kiddo's slept until almost 7! DS watched too much TV but oh well... he barely watches any so he was happy watching Little Mermaid for the first time and a few episodes of Dinosaur train plus he had tons of fun playing with lil fella and mixing up all the Duple sets I sorted  Lil fella refused his afternoon nap but I got him to take a tiny 20 min nap later in the evening. I also managed to slice the top of my thumb off making lunch and discovered one of lil fella's finger is red, swollen and upon inspection, I pressed at where the side of his nail and finger met, there was pus. Wah! We washed his hands before bed and dabbed a tiny bit of neosporin on it. Good thing we're still sleeping with Zippityzips so his hands are enclosed. Now I have to remember to wash his hands first thing when he wakes up. He loves to still shove his hands into his mouth. SaveSave |
