I’m at M’s elementary school to pay for after school care. It’s the 1st day the teachers are back and no one is in the office. They didn’t give a time on the phone when they called to tell us to come on the 12th.
I’m slightly annoyed that they didn’t leave someone in the office.

I'm at work today. Tomorrow finishing up some shopping to get ready for our trip next week. Boys are going to MILs so DH and I can have a date and celebrate our anniversary (a month late). Going out to dinner tomorrow and then Kayaking on Wednesday. Also interviewing potential babysitters this evening.

That reminds me I have to pay for W's today, too. Did she start or are you prepaying? Because AHEM I didn't see any first day pics.

This week is all about work -both work work and at home.
I sat down last night 3 months after ordering the supplies to sew bench cushions for the kitchen table bench we built in, only to find that all my scissors are shot. I did a little bit with W's little kid safety scissors before I finally just said eff it and ordered a new pair, which should get in Wed. And then I can maybe get it up again to continue that project. I need to finish that so that we can move on to other things, like painting our built-ins in the living room and the eleven million other things on our to-do list.
Friday my parents are giving us a date night - we haven't had a night out in about 6 weeks so it is badly needed.

You have to pay the deposit before school starts though and it fills up quickly. Someone just came out and said they’re in a meeting till 9:30. That would have been helpful information to have when y’all called me last week. Also not very convenient for working parents that need the after school care since the office closes at 3.

That's really annoying. Can you not just like...leave it with someone to give to that team? Or do they have a drop box?

We just got back from tjmaxx. I got new backpacks for the boys for school and just finished up filling all of B’s paperwork for when he starts. Only a couple more weeks left. I got his teacher assignment in the mail over the weekend. It’s becoming so real!
I have a busy week and it’s partly my fault because I don’t know how to say no to people. My H is going OOT for work tomorrow through Friday. My dad is coming over for dinner tomorrow, Thursday we have a playdate in the morning. Thursday night I’m going to my moms for dinner because my aunt is flying in from NC for the weekend. Friday I’ll go hang out with them for the day, pick my H up from the airport and Saturday my mom and aunt are coming to my house and spending the day here and having dinner later. Sunday is her last day so we’ll probably do dinner at my moms with my brother and SIL.

I’m wfh this entire week and trying everything to get this baby OUT. I went to the gym this morning to walk, boucing on my ball, squats, eating dates, pineapple and spicy food. I have an appt at 2pm and if I haven’t made an progress I’m going to ask about moving my C to Monday. Friday feels like a guillotine over my head right now.

I hope for your sake you go soon! Have you tried a warm bath and glass of wine to relax? I've heard sometimes that helps and if not it still sounds good lol I also remember, tho, finding my impending induction way more intimidating than just waiting for it to happen. Funny how different this can be.

Thanks for the gif tgrimes exactly how I feel. Yes, waitwhat Friday at 5:30am. starbuck I wish it was just an induction instead of a C! But I’m sure the feelings are similar.

The baseboards are finished in all of our bedrooms, bathrooms and the hallways. Hopefully they'll finish the rest of the house today. It's crazy what a big difference baseboards make.
So much dust though.

WWN16 do
I ordered a kid's fire on prime day. Shipping was delayed for several days and I never received it, even though it showed it was delivered. I contacted Amazon and customer service was kind of a dick about it. Eventually, they sent me another one. Yesterday, I received the original one...a month later.
Anyway, would you keep it or send it back?

No, I was hoping to sleep thru the night since the doc told me baby wasn’t coming that night. But I still had preg-somnia at 3am like usual. I just got back from walking at the gym. I’m still trying to keep active for the rest of the week.

tgrimes I would call and ask about returning it. Sometimes they will tell you just to keep it.

That menu sounds delicious. I loved going to their wine dinners because they accommodate(d) gluten free guests, and not in a - we'll just boil some veggies for you to make sure it's gf. Never felt like we missed out at all if our menu had to be slightly tweaked by the chef. And now I want some ceviche.

DH and I had our date night for our belated anniversary (he was offshore on our actual anniversary. Literally as soon as the kids left with SIL my period started. So that sucks. We're drinking champagne in bed with no sex lol. Tomorrow we are Kayaking so I'm praying I don't have bad cramps. Also, I bought a Diva Cup, so using that for the first time... Anyone else use one? Do you sleep with it in?
