C had a terrible day at work. He came home to mow our grass, the riding mower wouldn't start, so he push mowed about 3-4 acres of our yard in 9000% humidity. As soon as he finished he got a call that he had to go back in to work. Mr. SAK is not happy. we haven't seen each other all week and had set aside tonight to hang out, but now it's just me and Netflix.

We are wrapping up a week at the beach. I'm physically and emotionally spent and about 5 lbs heavier. I plan to eat right for three weeks until we come back and do this again in August with my family. I'd also really like to wean this baby. Tips welcome. Maybe I should go away for a few days lol.

sak, that is really shitty. I hope he gets some down time and you two get to spend some time together over the rest of the weekend.

My H volunteered to do a biodiversity study a couple of hours away, so he'll be gone all day Saturday and Sunday. I'm planning on taking L to the farmer's market tomorrow morning and the pool on Sunday. My parents just got back from a vacation so we'll be seeing plenty of them over the weekend.

Well MH and I are out of town, sans children. We met up with our best couple friends tonight and had such a great time catching up, we haven't seen them since we all moved after MH completed his residency a year ago. I've eaten so much seafood this weekend and have a whole day more tomorrow to continue. We're going to the Red Sox game tomorrow and I'm so. Damn. Excited. To see them play at Fenway. Even though I'm going with my Yankee-fan husband, I told him he's not allowed to wear his Yankees jersey because it's my birthday weekend and I forbid it.

S took both Friday and Monday off, so yay for a long weekend! We went to the Baltimore Aquarium yesterday and spent 4 hrs there. It was so crowded and I was very overwhelmed my the end, but we still had a good time.
Today, we're going to give camping with kids a try before we do it 3 times in a week in August. So pay for me! LOL. We're also bringing the dog on this trip.
I'm sure tomorrow will be recovery from camping

Normal weekend. A is working, I'll take the kids to the farmers market.
Tomorrow we have to build the larger run for our chickens. HAVE TO. Poor chickens, they want more space.
I'm going to do as little as humanly possible. I'm tired.

I have no plans. I'm beginning to get a little stir crazy. I mentally want to get out a little more but still not really physically able to do much. Hopefully I can find something to do today.
Tomorrow we will go to the farmers market.
Next week R1 has friends in town and daycare is closed. So he's taking a day or 2 of vacation and hanging with his friends and taking R2 along on whatever adventure they have planned.
I need to do a little work in the house to prepare for guest arrival.

Spent 5 hours last night painting another giant soccer tifo banner for the Gold Cup game here on wednesday. Today my parents are arriving and visiting for the week, but not staying at our house, thank God. Still have to clean this morning like my life depends on it. Excited Nugget will get to see her grandparents this week. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow, so we need to plan something good, going to see how tired they are (they are coming off the tail end of a 10 day trip to Nova Scotia).

I'm on my way back from a night away with no kids or husband for a college teammate's wedding. It was so so so much fun. My abs hurt from laughing and my body hurts from dancing. It's been almost 10 years since I've graduated and these girls are still some of the best.

Part of what we painted last night. Might be hard to see from the angles but it's a silhouette of Washington crossing the Delaware. So happy it only took us one night to finish, I was not looking forward to having to paint more in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My husband just officially quit his job and is starting his own business, so this weekend we are working on different aspects of that, including a website, which is somewhat terrifying to a tech-deficient person like me. Life is a little nuts right now

We decided on backyard camping and are trying to stay out of the house to simulate how it'll be on our trip. I'm glad we made that decision b/c my period started today and it makes me feel all weird and blah the first day, especially with being outside most of the day.

Well Little League World Series is over. Unfortunately sak and her boys won't be watching D this year, but he and his team had fun anyway. I'm exhausted after check-in and skills drills Wed., two games Thursday, one game Friday, and two games today. He got to pitch 3 innings Thursday, 1/2 an inning Friday and 2 1/2 innings today, and he did really well. The competition was just really good. Now we're chilling at home. Might venture to Target tomorrow to do some school supply shopping.

I had a ton of fun with my friends yesterday and then DH sent the kids off to his mom's for the weekend so we had a nice dinner and then came home and watched a movie.
This morning we took Grandpa to breakfast and then did a walk-thru of the rent house with him. Then we went and played a round of disc at a smaller park than our usual ones so I could get some easy practice. After that we went to a different park to play another round, but at hole 11, basically as far from the car as you can get, a huge thunderstorm hit and we were completely drenched. We drove around for a while looking at damage from the storm and then decided we were starving. Still soaking wet, we ran into a nearby Walmart and challenged each other to see who could find the cheapest outfit that was nice enough to wear to dinner. I think we tied, but I got shoes and underwear and everything for about $20. We ate a nice dinner and now are burning our burn pile while the ground is wet. It has been a great day!

I spent yesterday traveling to get LO from my parents and today trying to do some housework and possibly go to the pool this afternoon. Also, trying to get the baby to nap longer than 5 minutes...

Well, we survived camping. The girls didn't sleep until like 10pm which was ridiculous and involved threats of cancelling the camp out and screaming from A, which I'm sure the neighbors appreciated. Then gun shots somewhere in the neighborhood. Or maybe they were mortars, but prob shot gun b/c soon after, the whole area reeked of skunk. And then the dog was disoriented at like 11:30 and was all pressed up against the netting, so we let her in the main sleeping area. I just hope sleeping goes more smoothly on our trip

My parents are here and it is surprisingly nice. Soooo glad they are not staying at our house this time around, it is so much less stressful. Nugget is having a great time with grandma and grandpa and they are really enjoying spending time with her. Today we went to a museum together and then came home and grilled burgers and had cake for my dad's birthday.

My weekend flew by but was good. Saturday M and I went to the farmers market, playground, and library. She refused to nap, and we all went grocery shopping in the afternoon.
Yesterday we all went to church, then after nap, M and I went to visit our friends at their new house. It's our core friend group, but J didn't feel like going and everyone missed him. M and our friends' son L, who is 18m younger than her, had so much fun running around together. They ended up playing naked in the baby pool and getting really gross, so they had bath time together, which was adorable. We grilled out and it was so much fun.
I missed hanging out with J, but when I got home he had busted his tail cleaning up the kitchen, dining room, and living room, which was amazing. He definitely got some after M went to bed.

Yesterday during church nursery duty I got to snuggle a bunch of tiny babies. There were 9 in the not yet walking group, 3 of which were 2 months or younger. Things were a bit chaotic and we had to call in reinforcements. It is amazing how time crawls when babies are crying though!
