Good morning! We are going to be in the 90s for the next week. Weather this year has been so weird. This morning I was awoken by V rolling off my bed (she’s ok, just upset for a bit). I looked at my phone, it showed the alarm screen and said “5:45” after a few seconds of processing I realized I was late for work. I am supposed to be here at 5:30, so I did a mad dash to get ready and made it here by 6:10. My phone must have frozen or something because my alarm didn’t actually go off, neither DH or I heard it. I’m going to restart my phone before bed tonight to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Today is evies last day of GS day camp. I got groceries after I dropped her off so that's done. Laundry is going and I plan on cleaning the shit out of my house while she's gone.
We have no plans this weekend and its going to stay that way. The past 3 weekends I've woken up with a hangover 1 day so no drinking this weekend...I'm tired of feeling like crap.

Morning.
I wanted to tune into Saturday morning news so the kids are chillin with their ipads. I’ve got some inside and outside chores to do this morning, boring shit like clean the bird baths and vacuum the vehicles, clean up and repack everything from our beach day.
MH was scheduled to come home Monday but they’ve decided to push the clean up portion of the ex so we’ll be picking him up this afternoon sometime. There are always changes so I dont tell the kids until I get the text that he’s in a vehicle coming home, they’ll be excited when we jump in the truck to go get him at the base!

It’s going to be hot here today. I’m taking the little boys to play at T’s friends house soon then DS has 2 games later today. Other than that, just staring at my phone, waiting for my travel agent to get back to me.

This weekend is actually cold over here! Lots of rain and clouds. Luckily it was more of less dry this morning so we could celebrate dd1 birthday for her friends this morning. I asked the parents to bring them all in rain gear, and they had a blast. I’m glad it’s over . It was my first time leaving dd2 with my parents, and since she won’t take a bottle I was a bit nervous (it would be almost 4 hours) but she did great. The kids are watching Robin Hood and dd2 is napping on top of me. I’m guessing it’s going to be an early night for everyone.

It’s super hot here and bad air quality. C played outside for the neighbor but doesn’t want to do much. I have to go get paint for his bedroom since it is being painted on Tuesday but that’s all the plans I have this weekend.

Let me life vicariously through your plans kim22. I want to hear what you book. I was also looking at those threads vino shared. I'm loving Brux's AI knowledge since I don't even know where to start on that stuff. Boo to travel being expensive though.

At work today. I'm happy that it's only 1 day though so I'll still have a little weekend time tomorrow.
Nothing the least bit thrilling today. It was 87 earlier this week which is really hot for us. Today the high is only 59 so super weird change of weather.
Tomorrow we're going to see the Spirit movie (are you going @klong11?) and then we're picking up M's bf for a playdate afterward. I can tell I'll have to keep C busy.

inthekitty no, we're cheap and waiting for it to show up on Plex. It's usually a day or two after a movie releases.

Currently at a birthday party where we don't know anyone except the birthday girl and even that isn't much of a relationship. It's a little girl in Cadence's swim class. It's a nice and awkward way to start the day.

It's more to treat the girls to the first time to the theater in a long time and theater popcorn. I think MH will want to start to go again a lot. Especially for the comic book movies. But I think some if those are the worst in theaters because the directors are nuts and make movies that are 3 hours long. I don't care how good the movie is, if it's that long I'll fall asleep.

Happy Saturday!
We didn’t play well for our first game, so we lost out of the tournament. Guess it was too early for the boys. I was a little glad we could leave for my mom’s early. We got here about an hour ago. My nieces are here so all the kids are playing hide and seek. We were supposed to get a water slide for the kids to enjoy tomorrow, but it’s been raining for days here and we have a pretty good chance tomorrow, so we scratched that. We’re taking them somewhere to play instead. We’re hoping the places will be empty on a Sunday morning, but who knows.
I’m going to get me a gallon of daiquiri in a few. I need a drink after the last few days with my loud kids in a hotel. 🥴

Update: my travel agent is away until Monday and there are no flights to St Lucia from any NY area airport. Also my Union rep screwed up and my retro pay and raise that seemed to good to be true and were going to fund this overpriced trip are in fact too good to be true. Still hoping to work something out though.

We left the beach last night, right when the sun finally came out for real. I'm a bit salty about our crap weather, but oh well. The big kids got daily swimming practice in and are improving. J had a game early this morning and then I took the bigs to the library now that it just opened...it was so nice to let them pick books. J is into baseball mystery series and we are reading I am Ivan together.
Then I hit Costco and bought out the place. Now watching frozen upstairs and wreck it Ralph downstairs bc the kids can't agree on movies anymore 🙄.
The cicadas are pretty prevalent, making it miserable to be outside at home..hoping they wrap this up sooner than later..

I just watched a crazy freak out at the airport. A lady with a young kid lost her ticket. They called her multiple times and didn’t respond. As they were closing the door that’s when she told the gate attendants. They said they can’t hold the plane for her. She threw her luggage to the ground. Set her 2ish year old on a chair and started cussing up a storm. The attendants tried to help her but she lost it. Security was walking her out. I felt horrible for her at first until she started blaming everyone around her. Man the things o have seen at the airport today. It’s been crazy.

Congrats chrisy01, what a relief to have that done and so great you could attend in person! Yay kim22! My ex and I briefly discussed St Lucia for our honeymoon, the pics look gorgeous! My house is CLEAN! Cleaner than when then cleaning service comes. I had to cancel them this month since H isn't working again.

mwhip we did go to Sandals there on our Honeymoon so I was actually looking to go somewhere different but I was googling all inclusive resorts for large families and this one kept coming up. It seemed like the one with the most stuff to do for the various ages of my kids so that’s why I picked it.
