We are expecting lots of wind and rain today from the Hurricane. Thinking of any one directly affected by it. Hope you are faring fine tgrimes. I saw it got downgraded to a 2? I hope what I saw was true and it didn't hit you all hard.

My kids have KidzBop on and are dancing like crazy. They are just like A and LOVE to dance.
I need to run out to the store and get the 4 things I forgot. MJ is out of cheese sticks, which is a staple in her limited diet.
M's friend and her siblings are most likely coming to play today so I'm trying to get them to keep everything picked up.

Morning. Worked my but off today and because of the stupid cold my head feels like it’s full of cotton balls. So I think I’ll call it quits in a little bit. I had a pizza date with my friend, but rescheduled, I don’t want her to catch my cold and then having to take a corona test to make sure it is just that. I was looking forward to seeing her, so I’m a little bummed.

Morning!
Taking X to his well visit this morning, then tonight we have Dude’s first equine therapy session.
If Tim and I have any energy left after all of that, we’re doing a hike.

WFH. I have a massage tonight which I'm looking forward to.
Last night we watched Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. The girls liked it. Maddie picked up on the line about the spoon ("Because it's dull you twit! It'll hurt more!"). Alan Rickman was great.

Heading over to Target to get some things for our trip. We leave Saturday - it's about a 4 hour ride. The boys will probably just watch their tablets for the whole time, but I want to get a few little toys and some snacks to keep us busy.
I am nervous about B. He's been great with peeing (only 2 accidents since Sunday). Still no poop, but honestly his poops are so solid that it's not that big a deal to clean them at this point. I'm hoping that will come shortly. But I'm nervous about the long car ride, and I'm thinking about a pull up for the trip. But I'm nervous that will set us back. Oye.

Morning ladies! tgrimes please check in! Drop off was so much better this morning. We were early again, but there wasn't a line of cars to the street when I left. I think a lot of parents dropped their kids off for first day and are now on the bus. I will still go early to pick up. Evie woke up complaining about her other knee bothering her this morning. She was limping and said she couldn't put weight on it. I emailed her teacher, the nurse, and the PE teacher so that they are aware. I let them know we switched her anti inflammatory and she can only take tylenol, no ibuprofen, just in case she needs to supplement. I think I'll wait a day before I contact her rheumatologist. We weren't due to go back until the end of September. I don't want her to stand out or it be obvious that she can't participate like the other kids, due to pain. I'm hoping it's just something silly she did yesterday, being overexcited about it being the first day of school I have to go into the office today...my one day a week to do my hair and makeup!

jewels Obviously you know make sure he goes multiple times prior to getting in the car. I would plan on stopping every hour or so, if it's possible, for him to try to go, to avoid an accident. I'd be nervous as well, but I bet he will do great!

Morning. The hurricane turned east so we didn’t get much more than some wind gusts and rain! Thank god. LA got pummeled though.
My office is closed but daycare/camp is still open so I’ll be staining the piano today. I did the bench last night and it turned out okay.

I hope Evie feels better soon mwhip. jewels id do as mwhip suggested if possible. If you're going somewhere without many places to stop along the way I'd use a pull-up jic.

[mention]jewels [/mention]we let ds wear a pull up looooong after he was potty trained for car/plain rides like these. Mainly because you can’t always control the situation (has to pee during turbulence/traffic jam etc). It just made car rides less stressful.

Hey everyone, just wfh now. I’m getting a pedicure this afternoon and very much looking forward to it. We’re also supposed to go to the pool this evening. One of B’s friends from preschool is going to be there also so it gives her a chance to have play w someone other than C. Then leaving for the beach tonight. I’m trying to squeeze all the last bit of fun in before back to school!

SSDD here. Yesterday I was trying to do a back flip using the rings on C's playground. I have zero upper body strength and never quite made it but tried like hell. My arms are actually sore today:( So that is humbling. I am determined to do that flip though so when the weather is better I will be out there again!

Hope it’s a good appt for X, cagoldi! I’m sorry Evie’s knee is bothering her again. I hope it’s an easy adjustment to the new meds. Happy first day to H, trtlcrzy! jewels. I keep a travel potty in the car. Normally we’d stop somewhere but with not wanting to fully stop somewhere it works in a pinch.

Morning! H was so excited to go to school this morning that she was already dressed and had eaten breakfast by the time I came out of my room. I took her to school, we parked and walked up. I took S to get a donut and now we are playing at the park near our house.

mwhip , ugh I am sorry:( Hopefully she gets through the day ok. Is it rainy there? Arthritis definitely is worse in rainy weather. Damn, I wish! I can't remember the last time it rained here! We have noticed her other knee did bother her more when the weather changed. I'm hoping it's just from changing from one anti inflammatory to anther, although this is a higher dose. I'm just worried it's going to be another inflammed joint that will result in another shot.

Hey. It’s gloomy out because of the hurricane. Expecting rain throughout the day. I thought I booked a hair appointment for this afternoon, but when I didn’t get a confirmation email/text I went to her IG page and it said to text for booking. 🤦🏽♀️ So I texted her and today isn’t available, so I’ll go Wednesday. I rescheduled my laser appointment when I booked this, so I’m about to call to see if that’s still available. That would free up my day Tuesday when we have meet the teacher for M.
I have so many appointments and to dos on the horizon, my planner looks a little crazy over the next two weeks.

He planted seed in the field we had logged and cleared....hasn’t rained a drop since.

Target was fully stocked with Clorox wipes today- winning! Limit 1 per person but at least they were in 3 packs so I can send 1 with each kid and have one for home.
Dropped off the big kids at my parents for a sleepover. Now it’s just me and L for the afternoon. Dh wants to go out for Mexican tonight so now I’m looking forward to a big ol margarita.
