Achievements: Nothing is really standing out that happened last week.

Challenges: Thinking of fun alternative things to do instead of going outside to play tag, which is all DD wants to do. Sorry kiddo, I'm not running around in 100+ 80% humidity.

Plans for the week? Busy week over here. Tomorrow morning DD has her 4 yr check up. Tomorrow afternoon I have an electrician coming to fix our circuit breaker, which I'm hoping will fix our ac. Tuesday we have our new stove top being installed. Thursday my car is getting an oil change before my trip. Friday DH is going "camping" for the weekend with the guys, so I'll probably pack after DD goes to bed. Saturday DD and I are going to a birthday party. Sunday, off to VA we go. I'm tired just thinking about this week.

How are YOU doing? Not bad, excited about seeing my family next week.

Q's/Vent? Our upstairs ac unit hasn't been working since Friday night, and it's been insanely hot. I can't wait for them to come and get it fixed tomorrow. Thankfully though, the downstairs is working and we could camp out in the living room if we had to.

QOTW- It is super hot here, so tell me, what are your favorite summer foods? Broccoli salad & watermelon

Achievements:Tackled our insane amount of laundry after being on vacation last week. 5 loads. Ugh. I hate laundry.

Challenges: Starting a diet tomorrow. I actually didn't gain much on vacation despite eating my weight in cheese curds and Bloody Marys. Of course, I still haven't lost #2's or for that matter #1's baby weight. Yeah, its time. Joining a gym that has childcare this week. That should help.


Plans for the week? Therapy day tomorrow for #2. He hasn't been to OT for 2 weeks and Speech for 3 so it will probably be hard getting him back into the groove.


How are YOU doing? Good. We had a great vacation. #2 has made huge improvements in the last year and it really showed this week.

Q's/Vent? Why can't I just wake up skinny? That would be nice.

We eat tons and tons of salad in the summer. I usualky grill uo a big batch of chixken breast, steak or shrimp amd we eat that on green salads for lunch most days.

Crap, another vent. We took our suv to the dealer for an oil change Saturday. We knew there was a recall on the engine but as of our last letter from Hyundai no fix yet so we've been waiting for them to contact us again with testing/fix info. Turns out there are 2 other recalls on the car, one which entails taking half the engine apart to repair. They have a test now for the engine issue so they are doing that but we have no idea when we get the car back. Luckily, DH works from home when not travleing and we have a spare car but still it's annoying.

Achievements: I don't even know.

Challenges: DS' behavior. We have become his personal maids & it's pissing me off tbh.

Plans for the week? It's the last week of two of his camps.

How are YOU doing? I'm tired. Trying to square away this one other camp for next week that has been radio silence since us signing up.

Q's/Vent?

QOTW- It is super hot here, so tell me, what are your favorite summer foods? ice cream?

[jnetx]

Achievements: worked out 5x, got a job!, planned and executed a last minute birthday party for T

Challenges: Things are weird with my H. Work is stressing him out. Money is tight so that doesn't help.

Plans for the week? Going to the beach with some MOMS club friends tomorrow. Watching D's bff while his mom has a work meeting on Wednesday. Snow cone place tour on Thursday. Pool day on Friday.

How are YOU doing? Alright. I am so sick and tired of stressing out about the budget. I really hope that my two-day-a-week job is enough to make us comfortable.

I'm laughing that I forgot we are leaving for a weekend getaway to Niagara Falls on Friday. FX DS doesn't make us regret it.

[honeylemon]

Achievements: DD's birthday party

Challenges: starting radiation Thursday morning. It's at 11am. I better get a better schedule after that because going every day at 11 is next to impossible for us.

Plans for the week? Appointments tomorrow. Therapy and hopefully getting my last surgical drain out. Tomorrow is DD's birthday but we're doing her party Wednesday. Thursday I start radiation. Friday I have PT for my right arm that has limited range of motion since my mastectomy. I also need to shop for DS1's school supplies at some point. He starts Aug. 17.

How are YOU doing? As well as can be expected I guess. I got some Ambien to help with sleep.

Q's/Vent? This surgical drain. I started with 4 and they're all out except this last one that just won't stop freaking draining. It was supposed to be out around 4weeks post op. It's been SIX AND A HALF WEEKS. Make it be over.

QOTW- It is super hot here, so tell me, what are your favorite summer foods?

Hmmm. We grill out a lot. Ribs, kabobs, bbq chicken, veggies. Yum. Oh watermelon is one of my favorite summer foods.

honeylemon, Happy Birthday to your DD.

Achievements: Keeping the MOMS Club I'm in together after two officers resigned.
Challenges: DS behavior and the resignations of two officers.
Plans: My dad and step mom are in town for two weeks. DD's birthday is Friday and DS's is next Thursday, so their party is Saturday. Getting the house ready for company and planning their party.

How am I? Overwhelmed, but good.
Vents: I'm pissed that the President and AVP of my MOM Club quit for not good reasons. I've taken over with the two other board members, and I hope we do well.
Favorite summer food: grilled pizza and hamburgers, chicken.
