I hope all the American friends out there had a good July 4th. It’s hard to feel patriotic right now with our political climate and COVID-19 but we did our best. We pretty much cancelled our summer plans (including Hawaii 😭😭) so we stayed home. We camped in our backyard, did s’mores, and stayed up late. Our neighbors were doing fireworks until about 10:30. It was interesting trying to put both boys asleep in a tent at 8:45 with huge explosions going on. Of course they were up at 5:30 this morning, so we are all dragging today. I don’t mind camping but I will still be happy to sleep in my bed tonight.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We stayed around the house, it was hot and humid here. I'm taking tomorrow as my holiday since mil has a drs appt. I have an RE appt in the morning though. Hoping to find a place with appts for pedicures with my mom too.

Hello! We had a pretty good 4th. I had to work all weekend but we did have a cookout at my parents house and lit off a few small fireworks.
C had his birth-3 eval. He does qualify for speech services d/t his atypical development of speech sounds. Hopefully he’ll start in the next couple of weeks.

Hi, all. I have been MIA here. H and I are on our last few days of kid free time. Friday we go up to my sister's house and spend the weekend there before we all come home to reality. I am very excited to see my nephews. And it has been nice having kid free time, but I miss my girls.

thatgolfb, I have no idea what I would do with myself if I was kid free for a week. Like, I can only remember 2 times in the last 5 years I was at home all alone. Enjoy your time.

thatgolfb I feel like any time I have an afternoon kid free I end up napping. Maybe a week and I'd finally be productive lol.

So I think MH hit my sciatica with my PIO shit last night. I'm at the chiropractor now hoping he can help release something since I can barely use my right arm. Only a little over two weeks left of them hopefully lol.
ETA: according to the chiropractor the two aren't related. Just happened around the same time.

I got a lovely summer cold, which settled in my chest and gave me laryngitis (as all my colds do). I got swabbed for covid just to be sure (and so my employees wouldn’t recoil every time I cough) and am thankfully negative! The test wasn’t terrible, but certainly not something I’d want to do on a regular basis.

Congrats!!! Tired, hungry, and swollen. I’m trying to at least walk on the treadmill 4x per week but my feet are jacked from swelling up so it’s getting harder. Like I thought one was broken but they both hurt equally now, but I don’t want to buy new running shoes and the last time I went to the shoe store they didn’t have anything in my size. Say a prayer for my husband because we get the keys to the new house Friday and I’m going to be a hot mess until we get 100% moved in. I see a lot of ice cream in my future.

Hi all!! We went to my BIL’s family’s on the 4th (we’ve seen them a few times) for an outside bbq and pool day. The kids love seeing their cousins and swimming again. DS is getting so much harder. Freaking 2.5 yo, man. Next week I’m supposed to be back in the office full time. I hate it but I feel like I will be penalized if I try to ask for part time WFH schedule, so that sucks. We are teetering with workload and other groups have had their hours cut, with no one having luck getting their UI for the remainder yet. So I worry that if I’m the one asking for a different schedule, I would be the first in our group reduced more.

I feel it’s the same with schools. And I will sit on your bench about 2.5 year olds. Man, we were blessed with N. He didn’t turn into a little stinker until closer to 3.5. But, holy smokes E keeps us on our toes.

Yay laurensc927, congrats to you! Sorry for the work drama ldubhawksfan. I'm lucky, no workplace is basically leaving it up to us whether we want to work from home or from the office or whatever mix between the two that we want. That said I've been in the office most days because I have to leave the house to drop dd at daycare anyway.

Is it hot where everyone else is too. It's been so bad by us MH and I have been talking about putting a pool in next summer. I was able to see a friend and hang out in her pool this past weekend and it was glorious. Definitely sealed the deal for me lol.

She’s always wanted a pool but then all the summer plans were cancelled due to COVID so they were, let’s do it!

It's super hot here too. One of our hottest and driest summers in a long time. And DD2 can't get her hand wet still so we haven't even been able to put out all our water toys, go to the beach, swim a friend's house, nothing. Ugh, it's so hot and I'm so pregnant and DD2 is so broken.
