Happy 4th! Not much planned to say. H heads home(we are still at at parents). We'll probably hang out at home and then get dinner maybe plan in the yard.

I'm a little shocked you haven't had Prime before taketheshot. It's wonderful! I know! It was a money thing but i really do buy a lot off of Amazon so it'll pay for itself soon

Thanks everyone! I have been having a lot of anxiety around money and debt lately. This weekend DH and I made a plan and it will free us up significantly. But it involves selling our camper (I could cry if I think about that too hard). It really will be worth it because not only is it worth a decent amount of money, it also dictates the vehicles we can buy and our insurance amounts. I think if we sell it we could be in a much better position and maybe buy another one in a few years. Even though it is logical, it is kind of heartbreaking for us. And phoning around to the banks to execute our plan gives me all sorts of dread. But I am getting there. Only 1 more call to make!!

CestLaVie, that sounds like a massive bummer but good insight into your future planning goals. RunsforWineandCarbs, I continue to be amazed by your stamina.

C slept in her converted toddler bed until 7am this morning. For this unplanned co-sleeping family, this is a BFD! Trying not to jinx it!

Happy 4th ladies! Not sure what we are doing. It's mostly cloudy so the pool is going to be cold. Maybe just backyard play in the afternoon.
I drank and watched fireworks that my neighbor set off last night. I ran in to wake up DD, she sat for a minute then looked at me and said "they're nice mommy, but can I go back to bed"? Lol

I did a 3 mile walk/jog with J this morning. I am very out of shape. No working out for two weeks plus antibiotics for a never-ending cold and eating terribly will do that to you! He enjoyed the run though.
POOF

My child is the crankiest ever today. Tried to go to SIL's, that went terribly. Just have him Motrin because I'm hoping it's teething making him a butt.

My dad is reportedly having a good day today so we are going to grill at my parent's house this afternoon.
As a side note, is anybody or anybody's SO obsessed with the Tour de France? If it is on TV, my H ignores everything I say. I'm over it.

I am broken.
My kids are cranky af and tired.
C decided he likes my iced latte. No kid you are not allowed to like coffee at 1.5 yo (he stole a sip while I was dealing with a 4 yo who doesn't have her listening ears on).
And it's only noon.

H is in a funk and is currently sleeping. So I don't foresee much happening today....
I'm going to do a few things around the house while ds is napping and dd is doing quiet time, then I'll take dd outside. I froze some peach chunks and blueberries to throw in my white wine later

Last weekend he was yelling for "cap-chino" that I was drinking. He handed me his sippy cup and asked me to open it and then he tried to pour my drink into it. Sigh.

I give her frothed milk in her mug, which she loves. I think my kid is going to be all about the coffee too.

You guys. MH met Roger Waters last night. I took E to see fireworks while he went to the concert and I'm jealous. Some guys at the concert gave DH and his friend backstage passes.

my meeting was cancelled when I was half way out there. this is such a lucky break. It means it only made sense to park at our other office (I was close when I got the call) for the afternoon. This office is 2 minutes from my daycare and cuts my commute in half. Just the break I needed.

C took a 45 minute nap and is still crying over everything. Except eating playdoh. Kid is exhausted, why won't he sleep?
I called it this morning, longest day ever. I've decided I do not like solo parenting on holidays. I remember memorial day being a complete shit show too. I am also out of ideas on how to keep them busy, energy, and patience.
5.5 hours until bedtime. Someone send me help.

I wish we lived closer Betweenthelines. Seeing how both our days are going, we could have done a play date and compared winc orders...you know taste testing...

decisions decisions. I really want to go home and sleep/lay down... but children. I may just try to ride it out half an hour longer here so that I have less time parenting tonight. I need a coffee so bad to keep myself awake but I'm way too scared to drink anything that might unsettle my stomach further.

CestLaVie, sounds like you are doing the right thing about the camper. Even though it is tough!

I really could've used that shit today. Instead it was me and the kids and random awkward silence between h and I when he was actually out of bed

Just went for a quick run. Definitely regretting that I chose to exercise post tacos and guacamole instead of pre. I feel like I might throw up.

Our bedtime angel was back! I didn't get a feel in E's mouth today but I'm wondering if he did get a molar through. No clue if he'll make it through the night but I hope so. We had a great day! We celebrated 4th of July in true American fashion with a bunch of our immigrant friends and did a picnic in the park. Then came back home and got some rest and did stuff around the house this afternoon and I made an all-American dinner: hot dogs, corn on the cob and mac n cheese. E tried the corn on the cob, that was cute. I'm getting tired of the progesterone suppositories and the mess and the panty liners and wah wah wah. But only one more week and then I don't have to do that anymore. Sorry for those that are having a rough day. Glass or two of wine, Betweenthelines, RunsforWineandCarbs? Nevermind, I see you've already planned that with the frozen fruit! jedi, there was something that made me think of you that I meant to tell you but now I forget. taketheshot, yesssssssssss to Prime! Congrats on the non-co-sleeping night shellyr! I'm excited for you. Pizzaslut, I ran three miles this morning too and ugh it was a slogfest. But I did it. My last mile was even sub-10. I've been running so slow lately. I was solo though, no BOB. amberlie, that is so cool about Roger Waters. Sorry you missed it!

Kids are in bed. I have a charcoal mask on and I'm polishing off the rest of this bottle of wine.
