It’s the Weekend (Randoms)!!!

What is O17 up to this weekend?!

Taitai O17 would like to hear about this birthday party! You know, in case we need any ideas for our own parties...

bootsorhearts1 how’s your weather fairing? You were in the area of the hurricane I think?

Sitting at DD1’s soccer game. Pictures were at 8. Game was at 9. It’s only halftime. Basically, we’ve been sitting here a long time. DD2 is consuming her weight in Cheerios so she may not be eating much later.

Trying to plan out groceries and meals for the week. Anyone got easy and delicious dinners? It’s a busy week here and I’m running out of inspiration for meals.

danvers I promise to report back with party details. The theme is princesses and knights. I refuse to buy DS1 some knight outfit just for a party, so he’ll probably wear his teenage mutant ninja turtles t-shirt. They are heroes in a half shell, right? 😂😅

Fried rice with a protein? I used this recipe as a base and instead of the veggie steps tossed in frozen peas, corn, carrots and beans in the wok with a bit of water to cook, then drained the water and added the rice and the rest back in. You can make a rice for another dinner and then use the extra for this

This is fast and yummy but requires you standing at the stove.

Haven’t made this one but I do something similar

My husband will eat the whole thing if I don’t stop him

H is about to make dinner and I’m about to pour myself a class of wine. I got my run in before it got too hot, we dropped the car of at the mechanic, got breakfast and then went to the towns fall festival. It was too hot and the baby was cranky so we had to cut it short. We are so close to being out of debt (except for mortgage) and found out we need a new transmission on our oldish car. So close! We’ll get there but man car repairs suck.

My friend came over with her daughter for a play date. They played inside, played outside, sprayed each other with the water hose, and ended with a swim. I don’t know how they aren’t exhausted. I am.

Me calling H while grocery shopping: H, can you check and see if we need toilet paper?

H: yes, we’re almost out.

upon putting things away when we get home and I discover we are not, in fact, almost out of toilet paper. We now have 50 rolls. 😑

August Blooms i’m gonna need you to plan my groceries and each week. All of those things sound so yummy! The fried rice with protein has become my Thursday dinner idea. We need something fast since it will be a busy night with school events and soccer. I’m pretty sure we have everything for the chicken green beans and bacon and that may become out Sunday meal! 😋

This happens to me regularly.

Do we need butter?
Yes, there is 1/2 a stick left.

I own 4 boxes of frozen butter right now. I also have many spare rolls of toilet paper.

Had a fun time at the first birthday party of the season today. Flu is going around here, so we left LO at home with the nanny and just took DS1. It was great to get some time just the 3 of us (DS1, myself, DH). I think DS1 misses that, and he definitely enjoyed all the attention.

The party was a lot of fun - OTT of course, but really fun. Balloon twister, glitter tattoos, bounce house, professional puppet show, and a cake that was made to look like the birthday girl. It really looked like her, and it was kind of weird to see them cut into it. 🤷‍♀️

Now time for bed - hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

This has happened to me since husband has this irrational fear of running out of TP.

DD2 is sick. 102 fever. Super sleepy but she is eating and nursing. She was playing well this AM but mostly just cuddles now. H is going to stay home tomorrow as I have mtgs then I’ll do Tuesday is she’s still suck. She was totally fine yesterday so this one seems like it came out of no where.

This is also like sickness #9 for 2018.

[curmudgeon]

Aww danvers, hope she feels better quickly!

I did a lot of unnecessary shopping with MIL today. I ended up buying some fall place settings that I’ll probably never use. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And then SIL notified me about linking Bitmoji with Snapchat so I’ve been wasting a lot of time with friend bitmojis. Best weekend.

Up rocking and nursing a sick baby. We gave her Tylenol to see if that helps as she’s been waking every hour and crying out. She wants to nurse but there just doesn’t seem to be enough there. Long night ahead I think - send sleepy vibes or caffeine. .

[Taitai]

danvers Oh no! Your poor baby. I hope you are able to get some rest tonight. Sending get well vibes your way.
