We leave Friday for our cruise. I'm still trying to decide whether to do any excursions or not. I'd like a beach day at one port and then I think MH just wants to roam free at the other.
I'm already freaking out about packing. Lol.

Time is going by too fast. My mom asked me the other day if I was planning anything for C's birthday and I was thinking I have plenty of time to figure that out... but nope. Guess I'll think about that today. It's hard because we have no idea what our situation will be with K so we'll likely just do a last minute pizza and cake gathering at our house (which is all I want to do anyway). I'm hoping it can also be a welcome home K thing at the same time buuuuttt who knows.
Semi busy day today. Swallow study, testing stomach feeds and more bottle practicing for K. I also scheduled a flu shot for myself downstairs this afternoon.

tgrimes did that guy end up getting you a good deal? It was slightly cheaper than what it would have been had we gone through Royal Carribean's website directly. But not really any perks, if that makes sense. I think if we had done a balcony room or something like that, they can offer you more. We do get a $50 on board credit. No idea what we can use it on though. I should probably look into that. We got the alcohol package and that includes bottled water, coffee, cokes, etc.

Hiii. Not much going on here. Both kids are at school and I’ve just been hanging out at home. We leave on Saturday for our trip and I feel like I have 103948573722 things to do yet here I sit.
Seems like B is back to normal. He was feeling better yesterday so I took him to see my niece cheerlead at a football game. It was nice to get some 1-1 time with him. My H and I are trying to be better about doing 1-1 things with the kids.

TMI - O threw up again last night. This is the 3rd night in a row. Still having so much diarrhea. I had something smeared on the top of my washer and I’m not sure if it was vomit or diarrhea at this point. Yesterday we were out back, (bc I needed some fresh air) and O pulled his pants down and shot diarrhea all down the back of his legs and pants. I’m literally up to my eyeballs in shit. There has to be an end in sight.

I have another sinus infection. ::shakes fist at kids::
And I put back on a few of the pounds I had lost when my stomach was really bad so I have to get disciplined again.
But anyways, I'm planning to put in a pollinator garden next spring and it's more complicated than I thought. You have to put host plants for caterpillars and nectar plants for butterflies and they are not the same. And not all caterpillars will go on all host plants. I need to make like a venn diagram of all this shit.

Does anyone else have anxiety about throwing parties? Apparently, that extends to my kid’s birthday parties too. I threw a party in college that no one showed up to, it scarred me for life. This is the first year I’m going to throw O a party w more than just immediate family and I’m already stressing about it.

Oh I have so much anxiety over throwing parties cookswithwine. Especially because no one bothers to RSVP. I don't know what we're going to do for A this year, probably something low key since I'm due just 16 days later. But I'd really like to have a cute kid's birthday, but most of our friends with kids live far away and although I just joined a local moms group, I don't really know anyone yet.

In other news, the big toe on my right foot hurts so much. I ran into something accidentally and cracked the nail on the side, but part of the way down the toe. I tried shoving a tiny piece of cotton down there to make sure it won't go ingrown, but it's so sore now. Ugh.

October 1st and the high today is 88. Tomorrow is 67.
J is supposed to have his field trip tomorrow but they are calling for a steady rain throughout morning and pretty much all day. So I am going to take him to a nearby farm and do some raspberry picking. I was going do it tomorrow but since it’s going to be raining and most likely be muddy the rest of the week I’m going to do it today after I drop B off at school. They also have a strawberry shortcake stand with fresh ice cream that opens at 9 so that might as well be my breakfast. Makes sense.

This is the first year I’m going to throw O a party w more than just immediate family and I’m already stressing about it. I don't have anxiety about my kids' parties but my own, yes. They show up for my kids. This year we are doing a muppet theme but I can't find party supplies so we are having to do from scratch. Should be fun tho.
