Morning!
I'm at work and can't stop thinking about food. Where is everyone?

jewels oh I hate that! It usually results in me getting something really unhealthy that I don’t even really like and then regretting it.

Morning. Dd napped for 20 minutes and then fell asleep on my arm for almost two hours. It was nice & I got to wat two episodes of working moms. I’m not sold on this new season yet.
I’m not a soccer fan at all, but The Dutch soccerteam is playing tonight & since it’s at a reasonable hour, we’re letting the kids watch, they’re exited! I got them soccer burger buns and they can watch in front of the tv.

Morning! I'm all about food today as well, but I brought all my healthy snacks, so I'm not feeling too guilty.
I got too much sun yesterday. One shoulder and my thighs are on fire. But I was smart and only had 2 alcoholic drinks yesterday and lots of water, so I don't feel awful today.

I have my extras today, tomorrow and Thursday this week. Tomorrow I have them from 8-8. Long day. M had a tournament game Sunday. They won and played again and won again. So now we have practice this week and the championship game next week.

Morning.
It was a mostly rainy day here yesterday and we didn’t get out to the beach until late afternoon/evening. Today it’s scattered showers, but should be ok. I think we are going to an amusement place. Our original plan was maybe the water park, but last night M sliced one of his toes open and blood was everywhere. His foot was gushing. I don’t know if it would be wise to take him to a water park, so hopefully he’ll be okay with go karts and other stuff.

Anyone shopping prime day? The only thing I need is new fire sticks. We have a streaming tv service through our internet company and we can only get the app on fire stick and our mobile Apple devices. I assumed it would be on Apple TV, too but it’s not. My fire stick is old and sometimes slow, so I’ll order two new ones. I checked target first, but they aren’t on sale there. I did get M2 some birthday gifts from target since toys were on sale.
Only other thing I found that was a necessity is socks and some no tie shoelace thing for M.
I’ll probably check the app again later, but I’m really not looking to spend money unless we need it.

Hello! We went to the park and then cleaned and had lunch. I hired a tutor for C so she's coming for the first time today.
MH is trying to talk me into camping with him and the kids. I'm getting annoyed because he knows I have no interest in tent camping and now he's trying to guilt me into going. L doesn't want to go and he's all, "What if mommy comes!?" Of course she says yes.

Morning. We’ve been taking it easy this morning but I’m going to be packing everyone up so we can drive 2 hrs to DH’s aunt and uncle’s house. It’s actually cool, high of 73, and windy so it’ll be nice to sit outside. I’m not looking forward to 4 hours of driving today. I bought the girls upgraded kindles today on prime day, I’m looking at ceiling fans too since I need them for the basement.

I'm pissed on your behalf wineallthetime. He needs to get it together and finally face reality that he has no one to blame but the person in the mirror for the fact that he will soon be a single dad. Single dads take the kids on trips solo and have to figure that shit out. Those trips are time for single moms to put their feet up, get their swerve on, or do whatever the hell they want. |

It's too hot for me to think about food. I'm probably going to live off strawberries today we got from the festival. It's my anniversary. We got coffee and walked the falls loop. Doggo was beaming. Now I'm working out and afterwards we'll get pedis before the kids get home from school.

Does anyone here know much about phones? My current phone (Samsung Galaxy 9) is my first true smart phone. I only had dumb phones and off brands before this. I've had it for a few years and want to get a new one before a trip in the fall. Mainly I want a better camera, more internal storage, and to maintain charge longer (this one used to, but now it goes quicker). I want to stick with Samsung. I don't even know what's supposed to be better (Galaxy vs Note or something else entirely). Anyone have any advice?

He gets his house early July, then wants to go camping like the next week AND we actually do have small trip planned for the 5 of us later in July (which I am ok with). |

tgrimes That's annoying about your H. I think that's just a man thing, my H does it as well. Obviously we all have shit...but can't take it out on those that we love. I hope he has a safe trip and is better when he returns. lahdeedah I've been checking my bomb deals FB group to see if there is anything I can't live without on Prime day. So far, nothing. I almost bought a new set of glass storage containers, then realized it was only $8 off, so I'll just wait. Seems like a good Christmas present idea anyway. wineallthetime F that. If he wants to take the kids camping, then go. But no reason for you to suffer as well. Like inthekitty said, he will have to figure it out eventually. Did you file yet? What is the current status? If you don't want to share, I get it! inthekitty I'm an android person myself. I have the S9+ and when it's time to upgrade, I'll get the newest Samsung. Apple is fine, I think their operating system is generally more consistent, but I just prefer Android and my Samsung has been a great phone. I've had it paid off through our carrier since last fall and it's been fine, so I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

tgrimes that's annoying, but +2 regarding your H not able to manage his emotions better. MH is like that too and it's really irritating. Positive coping skills--learn them dude.

I've been reading, but not posting. I'm really boring when my kid isn't around. I did put together a grill yesterday and cook on it. It seemed to work, but there are some adjustments I need to make. It was my first time using a charcoal grill. I love it. Happy anniversary inthekitty and happy belated bday! |

That all sounds delicious! My guilty pleasure for desert is to cut a banana length wise (leave peel on) insert half a chocolate bar, wrap in tinfoil and place directly on the coals at the end of the bbq until the chocolate has melted, ear with a spoon… it is so good! |

Happy Anniversary inthekitty! wineallthetime - I missed that he was moving out in July! So you only have 1 more month living together. How are you feeling about it all? Have you tentatively agreed on the terms? Obviously if you don't want to answer or want to discuss on the private board, that is fine! |

Have you tentatively agreed on the terms? Obviously if you don't want to answer or want to discuss on the private board, that is fine! I don't think I've mentioned it! Honestly I'm feeling paranoid like he's reading here, reading my texts, has a camera on me, ect! But yes! Moving into a rental nearby. Kids still don't know. We have been working with a therapist about that and his advice was to tell them once the house is kinda ready, so they can see they have a bed, toys, ect. We are pretty agreeable to terms. We both want joint custody and this sounds dumb but I'm honestly really proud of how we have been able to keep the kids first priority and have kept things very friendly. He did some really shitty stuff and it takes a lot for me to keep it together but I want the 5 of us to still be able to have dinner together, do a joint bday party, meet up at the park, ect. As far as how I'm feeling...it's very mixed. I'm honestly so READY. I'm ready to have him move out, ready to move forward. Ready to break out the new dishes and serving platters that my parents gave "us" for Christmas that I've left in boxes for this. But of course it's devistating having to tell the kids and know I'll only have them 50% of the time. You know what's crazy? We have a court date tentatively set for 8/5.... Exactly 1 year to the day that I found out. Woah, that was a lot. Sorry! |
