I definitely feel better, We didn't have any Motrin in the house yesterday morning (thank you MH for leaving an empty bottle in the medicine cabinet, letting me think we might have some) and once I got it from the pharmacy after I picked up Charlie and I felt much better.
The kids were up super early this morning. The cat scratched Charlie's face when they were playing, and it came so dangerously close to his eye. Then Charlie climbed over the back of the couch and knocked my 1st cup of coffee all over me, him, and said couch and then he dropped a bowl of granola (thankfully before he put milk in it) all over the kitchen floor. We're supposed to go apple picking in a couple of hours, and I'm definitely making sure he doesn't climb up a tree with the track record he has this morning.

In other news, C had his first soccer game of the season this morning! L and my niece have their first soccer game ever at 1. My mom is going with me and then we will grab lunch out and maybe hit up Home Goods.

I'm back to my normal daily migraine level. Just feel drained and tired. But both boys had soccer pictures and games so we're at the fields.

Quiet day over here with just dd2. We decided to tackle some long overdue chores while dd was up & sleep/lounge/relax when she was sleeping. It worked great, I sorted out the kids wardrobes and we deepcleaned the bathroom, including removing some mold spots, that didn’t budge before. Took a stroll into town to get some flowers for my parents as a thank you for taking the kids.
Off course dd is kicking up a storm again, so it’s probably going to be a looooong night…

I’m just here checking the portal every 2 minutes for C’s covid test. He’s 100% acting normal today thank goodness. Other than that, glad we have great weather so I can sit in the yard while the boys play.

peachsmama have you talked to your Dr about possible Botox for migraines? Or what do you normally take? If just ibuprofen, take 4, thats prescription strength Excedrin works best for mine, but I have to take it early on You might also get some electrolyte water

Picked up the grocery order and some stbx fraps. No one likes the apple crisp. Too cloyingly sweet for us.
I need to do a fall product coordinator training at some point this weekend. It's like videos or something. I didn't really want to be the coordinator, but when asked for a volunteer suddenly all the gs mom's got silent. 🙄 Cadence wants to sell, so I volunteered.
Cadence's teacher did not come back yesterday. Cadence says she'll be back Monday. So they had a different teacher who only had 3 kids in her class. Cadence has no idea where the rest of that class is....

DS1 never needed to be in, he started school Thursday. DD is out Friday, I’m out next Saturday. T and C are dependent on C’s test from yesterday and if that’s negative, they need another negative each on Monday and then they are out a week from Sunday.

I tried everything but nothing worked, but haven't tried in years because pregnancy and then nursing. I take tylenol or tordol on especially bad days. I'm on the hunt for a new pcp and want to try something again. I've had more bad ones lately. I'm tired of losing whole days to migraines.

C had his first ever soccer game this morning. They didn’t even practice because it was rained out but everyone seemed to pick up on it. C had a great time and scored the only two points for his team. They lost but C didn’t seem to mind which is a huge improvement from last years sports losses.
I also took Lola for vaccines and a puppy playgroup this morning so she is tuckered out. I have no retreated to my room with a book and enjoying the solitude.

Hi hi - had our first baseball game today, soccer starts tomorrow for j. He's getting better and new team seems okay. He got out twice and handled it so well, he's def maturing a bit..thank goodness.
Hanging out now and trying to decide what to do this evening, but we are all pretty tired. It's our 11th anniversary, so may just get takeout. We considered going to Annapolis for a boat ride or something, but seems aggressive since there's a navy game.

Hey. I’m solo parenting today because DH is working for his coworker. I had to get all the kids to soccer at 11:30, where we found out that half of H’s team was gone so the ones that came had to play the entire 45 min game. It wasn’t that hot, 75, but super sticky because of the humidity. We stopped at mcd on the way home and the line was terrible. H is currently at a bday party. I brought one of her friends with because her brothers have football games at the same time as the party. She is small like H but her parents don’t make her use a car seat/booster at all. Made me very nervous. I have to pick H up in 20 minutes, then we are hanging at home until DH gets off work. This evening we are heading downtown to Germanfest, one of my favorite fall traditions. Im so excited to eat all the things.

Happy Saturday ladies! Evie and I went to Maurices this morning, then got groceries at Aldi. After H mowed, we returned his rental van, a return to Home Depot, grabbed lunch, then went to Target for a scoot for E and a bunch of storage totes. Came home and cleaned and doing laundry while watching football.
My mom is trying to guilt me into coming for dinner. I cant get her to understand that I'm stressed, exhausted, and just want to stay home tonight. We have had plans every weekend for the past month or so and I just wanted a weekend to myself. I dont know why she doesn't understand that.

Hi ladies. Normally I'd be at my other job today but last month I had to put in an extra day so I got today off. I'm glad because we got about a half dozen 9/11 emails at work yesterday and I know there'd probably be a big speech about it today and I like to be in solitude to go through my big emotions, not around people all day.
MH took M to her first TKD team class. C was my big helper today. We cleaned the rat cage and did a bunch of boring errands. Now that we're finally done I just want to chill but the dog is giving me "the look."

PSA: the scene in the Neverending Story when Artax sinks in the swamp of sadness is sad. But when you have a horse obsessed child it is practically the end of the world. It then involves discussions of cinematography and it's just a movie, not real, the horse comes back, it's FINE! 🤦🐴

But I remember being horrified by his death too.

I can remember when I was younger my sister watching it and me being weirded out by that big fluffy thing. And every time I come across it I get that same weird creepy feeling. 🤷🏽♀️

We went to storage today and I reluctantly agreed to bring back M’s drum set so he can practice what he is learning. 🤦🏽♀️ our neighbors are going to hate us. They have an early curfew. No drums after 7pm.
