Hi!!
The weather this weekend wasnt great so we laid low here, rushing outside to play or swim whenever we had a patch of sunshine. Yesterday, I cleaned the kids closets out. They are both still in between sizes so I have way too much in there right now. I decided to send Charlie to camp at his old preschool. It only half day for 3 weeks, and it starts today. He's so excited! I didn't have option outside of the town camp for Josie this late in the game, but she starts back to tkd next week and dance in August.

I have my extras today. I need to get Laundry done and mop my kitchen floors. I stayed up way to late so I'm exhausted.

Morning ladies. MH and I will be working on a project this morning to put window cling on windows that are at second story level. Fx we make it through this alive.
Once that's done he's going to visit his dad and I'm getting a massage.

Morning. N and H are still sleeping. They didn’t fall asleep until after 10:30 last night (after coming in and waking us up to say they couldn’t sleep) so I’m sure they’re tired. H start hockey camp today and N starts gymnastics. Not sure when L will nap between activities. Jealous of your massage inthekitty. I tried getting in last week but they were full. My neck and shoulders are so tight, I’m using my heated massager now, but I would love the real deal. Might have to call again.

I have not had a massage since precovid and I miss them terribly. For some reason it's one of the things I haven't resumed, and I used to get them fairly regularly. I think I need to figure out a way to re-incorporate massages in my life.

I'm at the office. My allergies have been acting up the past couple days and i have all this pressure in my sinuses. It's really annoying.
In other news, H has another EI. WTAF. I'm going to pull him from daycare on Friday so he'll be out for a week before surgery. If he's sick, they'll cancel the surgery. I wonder if I can get the ENT to put him on antibiotics as a precaution...

jesus tgrimes . I really hope this is the last one and he stays healthy leading up to his surgery. He (and you) need a break!!! According to both ENTs, this surgery will not help with or prevent the EIs. They think his immune system is weekend because of his thymus being smaller. I'd really like the results of the genetic testing soon. Pretty sure we're headed back to the immunologist regardless.

Once that's done he's going to visit his dad and I'm getting a massage. I did the is a couple summers ago. Get big rolls of paper and trace out the sizes you need on the paper then cut the cling from the paper. Also make sure the window is really clean before you try to add the cling.

Morning. tgrimes Poor kid. The summer is usually his good months, right? Do you think swimming/water in his ears have anything to do with it? It was never an issue before though. 🤔 inthekitty Godspeed. I was looking into those cling/film for windows this weekend. I need to put something on them so I can get these paper blinds down. They drive me crazy because I like letting natural light in so to put them up is a pain. Since we are renting I don’t want to spend $$$ on blinds. I wish the owner would have put them up just downstairs.

Hi.
Got the kids off to their camp and ran some errands. So nice to be home alone. I have to go to the gym before I get M and later this evening the kids have ice cream social at the gym.
Not much else.

Had my rheumatology appt. this morning. He says I have hypermobility of my joints which is likely to be the cause of most of my pain. My RA numbers are on the mild side, so we're just going to keep an eye on it. He took xrays of my hands and any future joint pain I have I should call him instead of my regular dr. He was nice and I preferred him over the last guy I saw.

lahdeedah Yes, last summer he was pretty healthy. Although because of covid there were definitely less kids at daycare. As far as swimming goes, we didn't have any issues with his ear previously, but a couple weeks ago I bought some other ear plugs and this neoprene headband thing he wears over them to keep them from falling out. So I doubt it's the swimming. Who knows though. lol.

My mother called my sister this morning and said they were ready to move. My dad fell again last night and it took her close to an hour to get him up. It's time.
Now comes the fun part of figuring out their insurance and doctors. Oh boy.

Lots of time with my sister, so less time here (sorry guys 😉). We’re at ‘our’ cabin. My sister and my parents will stop by here tomorrow (we’re only an hour away from home).
Dd2 has been a nightmare sleepwise last week, maybe she felt my tension or something, but she’s been screaming her little her pretty little head of every night. Somehow I can handle the night wake ups, but not having two hours at night with dh or just myself is my breaking point. She’s currently sleeping in my arms, although not ideal, I’m savouring every minute of these peaceful snuggles.

I just took 8 trash bags full of toys to a charity drop off center. E’s room is pretty much done. Just need to find a 6 in mattress for the trundle and then she’s done.
L’s room has more to go and I haven’t even started our room.

I imagine Vino is making the most out of that camper and the property she acquired and is having an awesome summer so far complete with s’mores, campfires, and stargazing. She’s probably in Banff as we speak. 😎 Lol.

M had an accident at camp this afternoon that left him with a gash in the back of his head. He was getting a basketball and didn’t see the fire extinguisher box. Apparently it was very bloody, but he didn’t get any on his clothes. He says it doesn’t hurt, but it’s a little swollen and he has a little knot. I have some steri strips, so I put those on it when we got home to help keep it closed.

Cadence came home so happy from from her first day of ballet intensive! She loves the dance they are learning and actually wanted to show us what she's learned so far, which never happens.

lahdeedah poor guy, hope he is alright. tgrimes that is so crazy, poor H and poor you. We are down the shore just until tomorrow. I let DS bring a friend for the first time (yay for big kids being vaccinated). DH made it back and met us here. We drove to the mainland for dinner and I hit the worst storm and flooding. My BFF and her kids came over and C was out of control. Little boys are now sleeping and I’m having a cocktail.

tgrimes holy hell that poor kid. I'm sorry about your dad but glad your mom realizes he needs a different living setting. klong11 glad you got some potential answers at your appointment. lahdeedah ouch! I hope he heals quickly. I hope vino is living that camper life in Banff or somewhere beautiful. slenle I hope you can get scheduled for a massage soon. I started monthly massages as a self-care thing about 2 years ago and it's one of the best things I've done for myself.
