Baby is here, I’m officially an aunt for the first time!! She is healthy and adorable, and decided to try and breathe on the way out so is getting checked by NICU as a precaution.
Cheers!!

I’m off to target to give them all my monies for spring/summer clothes for the kids. Hopefully a couple of long ish tees for me too.

Yay congratulations. Being an aunt is almost as good as being a mother. All the benefits of having a kid and no loss of sleep

Congrats on becoming an auntie! My SIL is due this month and I’m so excited. While not my first nephew/niece it will be the first that we were living here when they were born. So I’m exciting about getting lots of baby snuggles and not having to deal with sleepless nights.

River level is at 32.02 feet. At 33.51 feet the water crosses the road needed to get to the boys’ school. The rain has stopped but we have a while until it crests due to the rain up north. The predicted crest isn’t until early Wednesday morning. I’m saving my alcohol for Wednesday when we are inevitably home for a flood day.

The only downside to today is that H is being ridiculous again.
Same shit, different day. So I’m having two glasses!

Trying to motivate myself to clean my kitchen for the 30th, and last, time today. I gave the toddler a bath and then we went outside to play a few minutes, because DD and MH were out there and he had FOMO. Now he has mulch in his hair. C'est la vie, we tried.

I’ve had a full week already.
Ugh. I was going to go to the gym this evening but I’m drinking a glass of wine instead. Soon to be followed by another.

Well it only took a week for DD to come home with her first cold of the school year. So gave her some cold meds, Vicks and turned on her humidifier. Hope she feels better in the morning.
Also, it's weird to see my living room look so neat without all of DD's toys everywhere.

We survived almost 7 hours of driving in the pouring rain, had a good dinner, and now we are grabbing some beer for the hotel. I'm exhausted!

I'm going to be really busy Friday, so dropping my FFFC here tonight: I have an olive tunic in my Amazon cart because of brux's VW Atlas thread. Bruce, HIH fashion icon.

We got a quote back for repainting our 7x7ft kitchen -> $5500! LOL NO.
So it looks like we will be doing it ourselves over the next few weekends. I said I never wanted to take on another home renovation task again but i'm oddly excited for it. I'm shopping for paint sprayers

Last kid survived her first day of school. Now I work on the million things I am volunteering to do.

I am now relaxing after dropping DD off for the night. My parents got her a surprise bag for fun and in it was a fidget spinner, so I left her living her best kid life at that moment.
Stuffing my face with some snacks now. Already day dreaming about the weekend and time off 😆

I’m going to have a glass of wine. I’m starting to feel more anxious about the hurricane.They are starting to order mandatory evacuations for neighborhoods close to mine. Public schools have already cancelled the rest of the week and now I’m waiting to hear word from my school about tomorrow.

DS asked if he could please have school breakfast and school lunch tomorrow.
Sure, kid. I love the school cafeteria.

DS1 threw up as soon as we sat down for dinner. Then he acted fine, ate some crackers, still seemed fine....and then more vomit at bedtime. 😭
Someone drink for me.

My kid was such an ass at bedtime that he has lost his story, our cuddle time and his iPad for 2 days. I rarely go hard because he can often be reasoned with, but he went balls to the wall tonight so I had to do it.
Ugh
Ugh
