No camp today since they're having their impromptu day off to recover from their "busy" day at the amusement park yesterday. DS is already asking what are we doing today. Dude.. Another reason I'm annoyed about this day off they're having is because they go swimming on Fridays. I mean, yea I could take him but they get to go earlier & the facility doesn't open to the public until 12. They open earlier for groups. So it's still 4 hours of DS still asking what are we doing, what are you doing?! Lol

Here. We're in the middle of a heat advisory. I took DD swimming yesterday and it was excruciating when we weren't in the water. We both had sunglasses, hats, and lots of sunblock. Today will be smarter with a trip to the library.

NamasteBirches , hey girl, hey! I just checked the board yesterday for the first time in weeks. I've been busying with my summer class and training for a certification; all while managing a toddler and telling H to get it together or we're separating. I've missed you all too!! You all are my sanity. oh no! Come on Mr. Chair! :/ Hope things get better/settle down soon!

This has been one damn long week! I just have too make it through the hell that is going to be today and then can hopefully have an enjoyable weekend.
I am going on a wine tour tomorrow to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday. It's going to be 15 people, most of who are all crazy 21 year olds (the exceptions being me, her mom, her dad's GF and the GF's sister). I am not really looking forward to it, but I am close with my niece and I think she would have been hurt if I told her I didn't want to go. I plan to try to make the best of it.

I gave DS another haircut. The last time I did it was not one that was super short so I knew another was on the horizon since I just can't commit to doing too much. Idk if we're going to do anything today. I was thinking about maybe going to splash pad but I'll probably be lazy instead & fill up his pool & hang out in the backyard instead. Especially since he's being so rude to me right now. OMG.

Oof. Sorry, I've been pretty MIA lately. I was having some issues with my schizophrenia meds not doing their job and made some not great choices, so now that they're adjusted and working again I've been cleaning up my messes. Not to mention I've kind of pulled back a lot here because I felt awful about the messes I made here. Pretty embarrassing. But I'll try to come back. In more fun news, R had her first language explosion yesterday! Before, she only had 3 words. But in the first hour of being up yesterday she had SEVEN new words!

We had kind of a whirlwind morning. DS has had this diaper rash/fungal infection that won't go away, even after going to the doctor last week. So we went back this week, have a new ointment regimen we're going to try and hope that helps. I really don't want to go back a third time for a rash! She did say that they've seen a lot of them lately because of how hot it's been. Next week is supposed to be cooler, so fingers crossed something will finally do the trick!

Listening to LO's talk is awesome! Glad to hear you got your meds adjusted. Hopefully the messes aren't to painful to clean up and that people are understanding of what you were going through. FX for better times to come!

I ended up taking DS to a metropark that has an indoor dinosaur playground thing. Before we did that, I coerced him into going for a walk to look for rocks. It's a thing out here where people paint & hide rocks. He's getting so good at it, he spotted one hiding up high in a little hole in a tree, I totally would have missed it. I found another one & then we hid two of our own. I also just touched up some spots on his haircut, while he was out playing there was a couple areas really bothering me that I missed. Lol So I gave him a bath to just get it out of the way. I think it should be good now. His hair/head is so difficult because he has a cowlick & this kind of like spiral thing to the back of his head so it takes a few times. I opt to do it because we've been to a few different places to have it "professionally" cut & each & every time, I have been unsatisfied so it's like, if I'm going to be unsatisfied I might as well do it myself for free. He must have a difficult head of hair so I'd rather not waste the money. Anywho, I should probably clean this mess of a living room.

My Fitbit Charge HR broke...sort of. It technically still works but the band is starting to peel away from the display. I contacted Fitbit and since my device was purchased less than a year ago, it is still covered under warranty. I have 2 options. I can have them send a replacement of the exact same device, or they will give me 50% off of a new one. I am torn. I wasn't really planning on spending more money on one of these things so soon. But the idea that I can get a newer device that has more features for half off (so about $65, instead of $130) has me intrigued...esp since I paid $50 for the one I have. I also like that if I get a new one, I'll start a whole new 1 year warranty period. Apparently the issue I am having is a known issue that a lot of people are reporting, so if I go with a replacement, it's likely to happen again. I believe I will still have the 6 months remaining in my current warranty if something with the replacement should go wrong, though I am waiting on confirmation from them on that. But if it breaks again after 6 months I am out of luck.
Decisions decisions! Right now, I have it held down with electrical tape. It looks real awesome. LOL!

School closed early for the start of the summer holiday over here and I'm already over it. It is going to be a long six weeks, at least we are going away for one week and then later for a long weekend and gymnastics camp every Thursday but the rest of the time it will be DD going "Come play... come play... come play..."

We've been at the library for about an hour. It's so hot out that a playground is a bad idea 10 minutes in.

I'm starting to think I have early onset of Alzheimer's. We went to a community picnic at our town square. I paid for our food. Got the change. Held it in my hand as well as the drink & my plate & my memory is pretty much blank with wtf I did with the money. Fast forward to about an hour later when we're about to leave, I'm like 'where's the change?!' Check my pockets, nothing is there. I'm wearing these stupid capris that have shallow pockets so idk if it fell out or what. I usually hand Dh change when I'm not confident with where to put money like if I dont have my wallet/purse, etc. Bye-bye $8. we walked back to the bench we were at, nothing was there & it was kind of breezy so who knows how far it went. Probably got picked up. I'm so mad at myself. I feel like such an idiot.

He got a replacement and then the same thing happened to the replacement. Unfortunately it wasn't covered under warranty anymore the second time. He ended up getting a cheap cover for it from Amazon. I would go for the new one.

Nothing much going on today. We went to the children's museum in the afternoon. When we were there the other day, we got to see one of their turtle eggs hatch. They are so little! There was one hatching today too but it wasn't completely out yet by the time we left. They're going to keep the turtles until it is safe to release them.
It was so hot again today. I'm glad my husband gets out of work a little earlier on Fridays so I didn't have to go stand outside at swim lessons.

Thanks for letting me know that yellowwallpaper. That is exactly what I am worried about. The more I think about it taking the 50% off a new device is the way to go. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
