[younglove]

Achievements: My husband and I booked a cruise for next month as a little belated anniversary celebration. I also have moat things packed for our upcoming trip on Saturday.

Challenges: The back talking from my 3 year old is getting to be draining.

Plans for the week? Today we are taking a drive to meet up with some moms from my first bmb at the zoo, tomorrow I think botanical gardens, and not sure the rest kg the week other than packing and getting the house ready for someone to stay here.

How are YOU doing? Pretty good, just feeling tired.

Q's/Vent?

QOTW- Favorite milkshake flavor and place to buy? Probably banana but we don't have a super awesome place around us, probably steak n shake until I find one haha

[jnetx]

Achievements: Successful beach trip with the kids and friends on Saturday. We had so much fun. Started cleaning up windows in the front of the house. Vacuumed and mopped yesterday.

Challenges: I'm so over both of my kids waking up before 6 am. I get them staying in their beds and then H undoes all of my progress because he doesn't want to be mean in the morning. And then I have to deal with it again when he's not here.

Plans for the week? I have an interview today! It's at D's preschool. I'm hoping that I would make enough to cover tuition for both kids and still bring home enough to make it worth it. I think it would be a great fit otherwise, though. Not much beyond that.

How are YOU doing? Good. The beach was good for me. Just wishing we had the time and money to get our house up to our standards right now.

Q's/Vent? Can't think of anything.

QOTW- Favorite milkshake flavor and place to buy? Does a frostee count? Chocolate.

[dyork]

Achievements: G has been slowing down in his insane tantrums, and he's been talking so much more. J is starting to nap again (at 8 months I was hoping she'd at least get 2 small naps a day).

Challenges: things have been crazy busy here lately. And I NEED to muster up the energy to get the kids out of the house this week because they're going crazy.

Plans for the week: I'm getting my cars oil changed today. That's fun, right? Ugh. I don't know other than that. I really need to find somewhere to bring the kiddos.

How are YOU doing: I feel weird lately. Not depressed but certainly having a hard time finding motivation to do anything.

QOTW: chocolate or chocolate peanut butter. There was a great local place where I grew up that was amazing. But shake shack is also amazing.

Achievements: just chugging along through summer being DS' chauffeur with all his camps. He literally hasn't had a day off since school ended besides the 4th of July.

Challenges: the before & after hours. Lol he can be a handful.

Plans for the week? He's down to his second to last week of the two camps he's doing so there's that & I think that's it. I think.. They are taking a field trip to an amusement park on Thursday but we're skipping it because they're going to be gone from 8am-8pm. It seems awesome for the older kiddos but for his age group, it's a bit much to be by himself. They are welcoming parent chaperones but it's pretty expensive at the moment & we'd both want to go. It's just that we're trying to go away next weekend so any savings of $ we can do helps. Besides that fact, he has his speech/OT camp on Thursday that I don't want him to miss anyways. He already missed last week for space camp.

How are YOU doing? pretty good. Just a little tired & unmotivated still. I mentally make plans to things still & before I know it DH is coming home. Lol

Q's/Vent?

QOTW- Favorite milkshake flavor and place to buy? cookies & cream at Chick-fil-A. too bad we don't have one closer

[auri]

Achievements: I survived the weekend with my mil! Also had a successful birthday party for DD.

Challenges: DD's behavior when mil was here. She tried to pull all kinds of stuff that she never does when mils not around.

Plans for the week? Today we're meeting up with a friend at a museum...they got a new dinosaur exhibit that we think the kids will like. I also need to start picking up some decorations for my sisters baby shower that I'm planning for her.

How are YOU doing? I've been feeling unmotivated lately. I recently painted DD's bedroom and a bathroom, but I have a few spots that need to be touched up. I am being so lazy about it...I just don't want to do it.

Q's/Vent?

QOTW- Favorite milkshake flavor and place to buy? Chocolate from Sonic. Although there's a Caramel Turtle milkshake from Steak and Shake that's really good. I kinda want a milkshake now...

[honeylemon]

Achievements: Figured out what to do about DD's 4th birthday next week. I was going to do a big party, but just couldn't settle anything. So we and two of our family friends are going to take our kids to a bouncy castle place, then back home for dinner, cupcakes, and presents. I think she'll be just as happy with that as with a normal party.

Challenges: Cancer is an asshole. Sleep is impossible.

Plans for the week? I have a bunch of appointments to deal with. I'll be getting scheduled for my radiation treatment soon. Tomorrow night I'm going to a book club with some of my friends. We're reading Americanah. It is excellent.

How are YOU doing? Hanging in there. I really need to figure something out for my sleep problems. I'm meeting with an oncology survivorship NP on Thursday and I'm hoping she can help me figure out how to improve it.

Q's/Vent? I could vent for hours about my current crap, but I'm actually doing ok. Considering.

QOTW- Favorite milkshake flavor and place to buy? Hmmmm. I'm not a huge milkshake person. I do love Chikfila's frosted lemonades.

[dizzycooks]

Achievements: hosting a BBQ for a large group last weekend and typing up most of my instructions for our babysitter while dh and I go on vacation next week.
Challenges: I have hives and am having serious side effects from the steroids they are treating me with. I'm barely functional and I'm definitely whiney.
Plans: dd1 is at all day day camp which is a blessing bc the younger two will nap and I need sleep 😴. My plans have been seriously derailed by my current health issues. Survival is the goal. And maybe getting my hives under control before vacation, that'd be nice too.
Me: I'm a mess. I have hives, heart burn, acid reflux, a migraine, chills and heart racing exhaustion (how is that even a thing??). I've been to two urgent cares, had epinephrine shots, several doses of prednisone and covered myself in more steroid cream than I care to imagine. I've slept no more than 3 hours at a time since last Wednesday. I'm a mess.
Q: how the eff do you deal when this stuff happens? My house is falling apart around me.
Qotd: I don't buy milkshakes, so idk where to get one, but it would be chocolate or chocolate peanut butter flavored for sure.

honeylemon, I'm sure your DD will enjoy that a lot. It sounds like a fun birthday outing.

dizzycooks, I hope you feel better soon!

[NamasteBirches]

hugs honeylemon
if you ever want to vent, we're here to listen

[jnetx]

dizzycooks It's ok to let housework go when you're sick!

[jnetx]

honeylemon I don't know the details of your illness, but I can't imagine what you're going through. I wish I had something better to say.

[jnetx]

I got the job! I get half off both boys tuition and will still bring some $$ home. My mind is racing thinking through all of the logistics, but I think it's going to be a wonderful thing for our family.

Can I still go here even though I'm working 12 hours a week? That barely counts right?

[auri]

jnetx, Congrats on your job! Yes, please keep posting. It's quiet enough over here.
