Morning. Dh, dd2 and I had coffee and apple pie at a cafe outside (inside still closed and wouldn’t want anyway) for the first time 🥳. It was nice! And I’m planning to do this more often in the next couple of weeks 😀.
I scored a bike for Ds on marketplace, I’m so happy! He wanted a green one, which apparently is a very weird thing to want. So so many cute girl bikes, but all boy bikes are black or neon (not that I wouldn’t have gotten him a girl bike, but those were all light blue or pink, fun by me, not so much with Ds). I’ve been looking for months and today found an olive/army green cruiser bike for €65 five miles from our house!

Morning. I went to bed earlier than I normally do last night but still feel not well rested. This cold needs to go. I scheduled an appt for both H and V to be seen after lunch, so that should be fun. AF finally showed up. I wasn’t worried I was pregnant or anything, I have just had signs it was coming for 2 weeks and I’m over it. It’s supposed to get up into the 90s today, so that’s fun. Safe travels chrisy01!

Morning.
Dropped the kids off then had my last laser appointment here. I have a facial in a half hour and then I have to pick up M from school. It’s his last day and it’s a half day. We’ll probably hang out at the pool this afternoon. The sun is finally out and my legs need a tan. I am not exaggerating when I say they are transparent. You can see all my veins and what not. 😂

Last day of school for Cadence! Woohoo!! I hadn't even gone to bed last night before she went from her room to mine. The thunder woke her up and she quickly retreated to my bed. Mh has band practice tonight and so I told her we could have a special last day of school dinner. She chose Chuck E. Cheese. Eta: added a first and last day pic. You can really see how her height has changed. It's like 3 or 4 inches. Insane.

H had his echocardiogram this morning which he screamed through...it's an ultrasound so it doesn't hurt at all. By the time I got home, the results were already in mychart. I think they're normal but my friend is running it by one of her cardiologist colleagues, just to make sure. That way I don't have to wait for the geneticist to call me back.
He's home with me today. No fever but still has that cough. Daycare said it's been going around for 2 weeks. A heads up would have been nice before I subjected him to a covid test.

First official day of summer break and I am in a mood. Not sure if it’s the change in schedule or hormones or what but man, I’m crabby. N told me I should take a nap so now I’m trying to ignore them but they keep coming inside asking for things.
Trying to pack up to head up north for the weekend. It’s supposed to be 95 and we won’t have AC, so I expect a lot of time in the water.

SSDD here. C has a game in an hour and the temp dropped and it's windy so it should be fun to stand around and watch.

I wanted to update about B and his constipation for those that are also having issues. I have done a ton of research and decided that Miralax wasn't for us. I joined a ridiculous amount of poop groups on facebook and talked to a "crunchy" friend who's daughter had a bunch of issues. Anyway, I spent the past 6 months trying out a bunch of different things but I've settled on a regiment that's working so well. He has gone almost every day for almost a month and hasn't missed more than a day here or there. He was struggling to go every 3 days or so before, even on the Miralax. If anyone is interested in what we are doing, LMK, I know a lot of your kids struggle as well tgrimes tallb lfig I know there are more but that's who I remember

First water of the morning: Between 1/2 and 3/4 teaspoon This Probiotic But follow the directions - it's strong and will make them sick if you jump in. I started at 1/4 tsp and worked my way up over about 3 weeks. Use this powder one, not the chewable. Evening - as close to an empty stomach as possible, 1/4 tsp Mag07 powder. I mix it in about 6-7 oz of water, would probably be better masked in milk but he doesn't drink milk. SHAKE WELL and make him chug it. I tell him he can't eat snack till he has it. Keep shaking over and over if he doesn't down it. People say they also will put it in a little cup of a smoothie but B won't drink smoothies. They need to be hydrated for the Mag07 to work. so I make sure to force him to drink a bit of extra water. It seems to make him thirsty so he usually has enough without trying. Also use the powder and not the capsules. The capsules have a bunch of other shit in them. I sometimes put epson salts in his bath, and I use this lotion for a belly massage. I do the belly massage every night followed by bicycle legs. If he skips a day I up the Mag07 by 1/8 tsp. He goes the next morning. tgrimes

L came home from school Tues with 2 guppies (I knew his teacher was doing this). He then informed me one is pregnant. We now have 7 guppies in a tiny tank and have no idea what to do. Do not want hundreds of guppies! I 😄😬 I urge you to read Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary.
BUT, if you leave the babies in with the adults, they will likely be eaten. I think....

Oh been a long time since I read that series! I dont recall anything about that one He gets 2 guppies, they have babies, which he puts in a jar. They kept popping out babies and he ended up with his bedroom full of jars of guppies. He tried to give them to friends, but they told him nope. I think Beezus took one. Then his mom needed the canning jars back so he ended up selling them all back to the pet store. He then used that money to buy a bigger tank and a little catfish. I only know that because Cadence and I just read it. I don't have that put to memory or anything. 🤥

Hi hi - it was supposed to rain today but it didn't until 6 for about 10 min..so we had some beach time, and I hit the outlets during naptime. I was hoping to get j some new sneakers but the Nike outlet had a line outside and UA didn't have anything I wanted.
I did find some jorts and tops at j.crew and had a good laugh trying on jeans at AE - I do not understand mom jeans, at all! I posted an outtake on IG, I'm trying to think of something less flattering. And then got n some swimsuits at gap bc she needs sunshirts for camp and a jean jacket.
And then it didn't rain at night as expected, so I took the kids to mini golf, which was fun until N was sobbing at the end when we had to turn in her ball..being 4 is hard!

I landed. Visited the school I’m graduating from and then found out the pizza place I wanted to eat at closed at 9pm at 925pm. So I swing by taco John’s for potato olès so I guess pizza for lunch tomorrow.

I have a couple pair and love them. I think all of mine are ripped though... you know to look cool. Lol. I have been seeing a lot of this straight leg jeans trend on a lot of the influencers. To me they look weird... but I tried on a pair at Abercrombie- ripped of course- and I LOVE. When I went back to the rack to see what kind of sale they were on, they weren’t. {sad trombone} I noped right out of the store and will wait for them to be on sale.
