Hey! Yesterday V had her 1 year check up, with 4 shots and a finger poke. She did pretty well. 12th percentile for height and 30th for weight. She’s a tiny one. DH had a couple appointments yesterday too so we had to do a parking lot switch with the big kids. Then we went to the lake in the afternoon.
Today we are on the road down to Omaha. I wanted to go somewhere farther but we couldn’t make up our minds so back to the zoo we go. They have a water park too so we will probably hit that up.

Morning! I'm at work. My kids are super sad because it's a stormy day and their camp was cancelled. It was their first pool day too, so they were extra excited.

Morning.
This morning was a little hectic for me. MH schedules the maintenance man to come at 8am to fix a drawer in the kitchen. Why does he do that when that’s the time we are getting the kids ready for the day? And of course he has to leave early, so he was no help. I forgot I had to stop to get M lunch because I had nothing for him to pack, so we did that after dropping off M2. Then I went to kohl’s to make an Amazon return- they sent us the wrong item from SIL for M2’s birthday- and while I was waiting for them open, my stomach started turning. I couldn’t finish my other errands because I had to get home to a bathroom. 🥴
Hope your Wednesday is going better than mine started!
ETA: Oh and my phone starts ringing while I’m upstairs getting a couple things and M2 is yelling at me that it’s ringing and I’m yelling back ‘DO NOT ANSWER IT!’ I come downstairs and he says ‘I just answer it’. 🤦🏽♀️ Look at the number and it might have been the lead at my new job- not sure. She hasn’t called back, so I’m waiting to see if whoever it was will call back.

Morning ladies. I hope M stays on the mend tgrimes. The girls' horse riding place said they could use some more kid volunteers (they do things like groom the horses and lead the horses during other kids' lessons). I asked the girls if they were interested and they gave an enthusiastic yes. So they are volunteering for the first time today for 2 hours and have lessons tomorrow. They get more horse time and it doesn't come out of my pocket. Score.

Good morning! Sorry I've been away from the board for a few days. The new cat (still very much a kitten) is absolutely adorable. We brought him downstairs today to run through two of the rooms, and he met our older cat through his carrier twice.
The first time the older cat hissed and growled at him and the second time didn't care. I'm definitely allergic to the new cat, but oddly enough the allergic reactions don't happen until the middle of the night. Benadryl and some allergy eyedrops quell it but it's completely interrupting my sleep. The same thing happened when I started dating mh and he had our older cat. It went away eventually but I guess I needed less sleep when I was younger! The kids have been playing outside on the deck and in the pool for the last few days. I never thought I would wish for a rainy day but I would like one to simply stay holed up in the house and do some things here.

guster, have you given him a bath? It might help get rid of whatever dander is currently on him that you are reacting to.

I got an email from HR- it was them calling this morning. My background check has not been started yet, so I can’t go to orientation Tuesday. I’m…. Not mad. Now I don’t have to find someone to watch M. MH couldn’t take off, so we had no clue what to do. MH was going to ask his coworkers for babysitter recs.
She said as soon as it comes back, I can start with a modified orientation, but I would have to go to the next full day orientation in 2 weeks. I’m cool with that. Hopefully it comes back next week so I can start the Monday I said I could start working.

I knew nothing about cats when we got Max and he smelled like his foster home so we gave him a bath. I have never heard screams like that before. Traumatizing for all! guster I missed you getting a kitten. I want to know all about it and see a pic!

I always bathe a new arrival though, to get rid of shelter smells and make them more neutral for the other cats they are being introduced to.

wedding, we adopted a one year old on Saturday. He still acts very much like a kitten. So super sweet and gentle. He really acts like a dog, instead of a cat. It's crazy! I'm having the hardest time getting him to sit still for a photo. The second i crouch down with my phone in his face he runs over to nuzzle me. Pdq: These are from yesterday. He and Charlie are so in love.

tgrimes, I'm glad she is feeling better. Hopefully you can get in today. inthekitty, that's awesome! C's new camp has a horseback riding specialty camp but it was full when we signed up. He is super bummed. I'm also jealous of this privileged life these kids live. I want to go to camp! lahdeedah, that worked out perfectly with HR. Hopefully it is a turn around in your day.

wedding lolz. I often think about how bougie (I have no clue how to spell it and know that isn't close) my kids upbringing is compared to mine. (In snooty voice with pinky up) I didn't dare even dream of equestrian lessons.

I'm at the office today. Hardly anyone is here so I actually got a good amount of work done. Tonight is a retirement party for a coworker. I don't want to go but it wouldn't be a good look if I didn't. I do like her a lot, its just that I have to go get C from camp and then go back to the city for the party with him since Dh can't leave work early. I also think I forgot to put deodorant on this morning. My pits don't often smell but time will tell if I need to stop at the store also.

I was latchkey and spent my summers home with my brother fighting over the tv.

Hello. Finally just my 3 kids today. I had to fast and go get bloodwork and a physical this morning so I feel off. I've eaten but still don't feel good. My kids were terrors for that so I scrapped my plan for errands and came home to do paperwork. Mallory is napping and I'm trying to get through my emails. I have so many drivers now and I'm not adjusting as quickly as usual to the extra chaos.
A and I talked and because we have been and continue to throw money at the back yard (on top of the deck I decided we needed a new swing set) we are postponing the attic getting finished. We're going to spend a few hundred dollars on painting the basement walls and getting a few carpet pieces down there and move the play room down stairs. Put the boys in the play room and make their room MJ's like planned. That way when we do finish the attic I will only have to move them up and not move her also since she'll be in the room I want her in already. And If I like the play room down stairs that room will be my office/guest room. We have the money to finish the attic but that would deplete our savings and A likes that being there in case of an emergency. And I know what number it needs to be for him not to stress and be grumpy. And we can't keep it there and finish the attic. So we will do it next year or something.
