Hello, good morning. How's your week starting out? What's the weather like? What beverage is keeping you going?

A (8) made me breakfast this morning. I think it's her way of making me get out of bed LOL
So I enjoyed an egg, avocado toast, and hot coffee in my favorite dog mug.
This week is short for me. No evening clients this week, and only for 4 days. Friday-Sun I'll be attending a local training seminar with my dog. I'm excited about that. It's hot, though (90°sF all week) which I'm not excited about.
Otherwise, we're just waiting on our HOA response to see if we can convince them that our hens are actually pets and we should be allowed to keep them. 🤞🤞

Hello and happy Monday! I'm making coffee now. Trying to quickly clean my house before some visitors arrive for the day. The sun is out and it's going to be a hot week here. Lots of plans for water activities this week- beaches, pool, water park. I ordered peach truck peaches so we can make this drink Friday night at our pool happy hour. I'm very much looking forward to drinking a couple of these. Frozen Peach Aperol Margarita  |

[mention]milano [/mention] those drinks look amazing.
Long week of paper work.
Got my 15 year rewards for work, I’m debating a ninja blender. I only have a nutribullet.
I need to research a new vacuum. Our Dyson works great on carpet, but not on our hard wood. So I’ve been fantasizing about a Miele canister vacuum.
I also need to add a few things to my Amazon cart to watch over the next few days (air filters, bras, led lights for the kids room, and that vacuum).

I let DS1 stay home today because he was worn out from the weekend. I’m working and trying to be productive. I got absolutely nothing accomplished last week. Promotions are coming up and I really want more money in my bank account lol.  |

I just finished my now cold coffee. H is home with me today since the sitter is off. He's napping so I'm trying to work (lol at me being here). It's a beautiful, hot day today.
Just 2 more work days until our kid-free trip! Our 10 year is on Thursday so we're heading up to the island for the weekend and staying at the same BnB where we stayed on our honeymoon. It's also the annual Jeep invasion so we're taking the Jeep and will have a great time. Trying to lock down childcare for this trip has been such a nightmare. MIL and her H were supposed to come here to watch them, easy peasy. However, last week he ended up in the hospital with covid as well as bad numbers on the other C front, so they're keeping him for emergency chemo. My mom has been experiencing unexplained numbness in her hands and feet, so she's out. We were finally able to cobble together sending the baby to my sister's and signing the bigs back up for camp Thurs/Fri and having some of our dear friends who are childless coming to stay at our house with them and dog for the first 2 days and then take them up to J's dad's for the rest of the weekend. I wish them all the luck.

Gooood Monday morning. W woke me up way too early this morning so I laid on the couch for a while letting her watch cartoons before I got up and made a coffee. Hubby brought home a huge box of Starbucks K cups from work, and we happened to have some of the Starbucks creamer so that's what I've been drinking (might be time for a second. Have to be careful though because it's STILL causing me acid stomach... thought at almost 23 weeks I'd be over that).
Did a bit of a work project this morning but my regular work isn't in yet so I've logged off for now and contemplating whether I want to take the kids to the splash park later. It's warm today (high of feels like 90) so it would be a good day for it, but we also spent like 2 hours out in the sun yesterday when I took them to play with my girlfriends son while I worked in the garden, so do I really want to do 2 days in a row with my fair skinned kids? Haven't made up my mind yet.

Good morning! It was raining hard earlier this morning but we're playing in the yard now.
My parents drove home yesterday. It was so nice having them here. Our days are going to be a lot quieter now.
MH and I ended up going out for drinks and an early dinner on Saturday and we had such a nice time! And an absolutely amazing meal that I'm still dreaming about 🤤
I'm feeling a bit off today. I'm in the process of stopping my antidepressant (cut down to half my usual dose) so I'm thinking it's just that. I'm kind of cold, a bit achy, my skin feels hypersensitive. And I had several crazy, long, and extremely detailed dreams last night, including one where I was in a space ship that went through a wormhole and we found another Earth-like planet with human-like aliens. In the dream I was doing tests and calculations to figure out if we could breathe their air and to understand how the wormhole worked. It was very intense lol. Other dreams included opening a pizza restaurant, and giving a job talk at a university but being extremely stressed that I hadn't actually finished my dissertation, which was on the cultural history of menstruation 😂

E and A have gymnastics camp in the mornings all week. They've been looking forward to it for weeks, so I hope it makes them nice and exhausted. Today, I was the "parent rep" on the hiring committee at school for the open reading specialist position. It was 7 candidates and 6 hours of interviews. My goodness, it's exhausting to focus that long. I am so out of practice of people-ing. I think I'll need a week to recover.

Bought a vacuum.
But I think my Dyson is close to 15 years old and just doesn’t work well on wood floors.

Also getting a dress form from Joann fabrics. They are $200 off today. And I’ve had my eye on this for a long time.
Early birthday for me I guess.

We're going to view a house tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that we love it because it's the perfect size and location, and it's completely unrenovated, which is exactly what I want aesthetics-wise.

Good luck today! Keep us posted I was confused and thought the open house was today and tomorrow, but it's just tomorrow. So I'll have to wait a day, but I'll definitely update once I see it. |

We were supposed to go to a pool party tonight, adults only. Yeah F just ran to the bathroom saying she was going to throw up.
Most likely exhaustion and not eating anything at the birthday party.
This is why we haven’t had a date night.

It was ok. It looked more run down in person than it did online, of course. It checked lots of boxes, like having four bedrooms on the second floor and a master bathroom (albeit a very tiny, original 1965 one). And it has lots of windows and a big, bright staircase, and original hardwood in great shape. I liked the original kitchen cabinetsbut there was almost no counter space. They're accepting offers tomorrow, and houses usually get multiple offers (though that may be slowing down now), and I don't think we loved it enough... And MH definitely likes our location better. We're going to discuss when the kids are in bed. |
