45thparallel, we actually don't go back until Aug 28th! We normally go back mid-August too but our governor mandated this year that students return after Labor Day (first Monday in September) so our academic calendar is a bit different this year.

Good day so far. Last night, E fell asleep before 8 b/c he had only napped yesterday about 15 minutes at 11am so that was a relief. Except DH woke me up around 10 to help with him b/c he was freakin hysterical and could not calm down. I was mad at DH at the time, but I did get E calm and back to sleep and then DH transferred him back to his crib. He lasted there until about 5 and then DH brought him in bed with him in the guest room. He slept later than he ever has in his whole life.....8am!!! He needed it. And then DH thanked me this morning for helping get him back to sleep, so that was nice. Anyway, I mostly got a decent night of sleep so I'm not feeling as sick as I did yesterday. We're having a low key day mostly at home b/c we have a big day tomorrow. We're doing another beach day with my sister and her kids and some friends. This beach is about half an hour away, so not too far but it's really nice and usually pretty quiet during the week. It's on the Bay so the water is calm and perfect for E to splash around. I think I'm going to try the crispy pork carnitas in the IP tonight, Betweenthelines. I already made a side dish for dinner too, after we got back from the grocery store b/c E was playing so nicely by himself. It's this recipe and you can use it as a vegetarian taco filling ( coconutbacon!) but I tend to serve it as a side dish, I didn't put in any jalapeño in hopes that E eats it, since he loves black beans and olives.

About my financial situation I mentioned last week: I MAY have a solution. If my sister will give me a month to pay her back for what I borrowed, we'll be fine. As in, caught up on everything, money for groceries, diapers, other necessities and nursing supplies.
I know she is in a position to give us the month. But I won't blame her if she says no. So FX that works out and I can stop stressing about it. I already called her to talk about it but she didn't answer.

Still need to catch up here! Work has been crazy busy since I took over the environmental monitoring dept. I am starting to feel like I have a handle on it though!
This weekend was amazing. My mom took the kids for Saturday during the day and then a sleepover. DH and I went and sat on a patio, went for ice cream, walked around a trendy area that is a nightmare with kids, watched a movie then got up and had waffles together. Was so nice!! Yesterday we went to the beach and that was nice too.
DS spent last night in our bed getting emotional about "what if our dogs get old and we have to say goodbyeeeeeee" lol. It was super cute and he was also just really really tired.

I got to defend my job to The Bobs today. 5 day work week started again. Co-workers last day and she may not be replaced. It's a damn Monday.

I took out the trash Friday night and kicked a tree root sticking up (was only wearing sandals). Now my toe nail is going to fall off. It looks disgusting.

booarogue, I was doing my cat, cow yoga poses yesterday and A kept crawling underneath me like I was a tunnel. So funny when toddlers "help" us workout. He kept trying to hid in NY t shirt. 😂😂😂 he thought it was the best game. 😉 such good "helpers" our kids are.

Had a good day so far. W went down for nap about 2 hours late because we were having lunch but he behaved really well at lunch and we had a nice morning. Hopefully we can get a walk in after nap or maybe pool time.

Afternoon! Good day so far. Swung by CFA to get A lunch and then played at the park. Brought her home for a nap and she is still out. H will be done with work at 4 and then I'm headed to Costco and Harris Teeter. I'm a bit uncomfortable today because we walked sooo much yesterday. We did two miles around a lake in the morning (and I carried A on my back in the ergo. We brought it for MH to wear her but "only mommy" apparently) then we walked to a local ice cream place after dinner. I'm taking it easy today.

mommabakes I always mean to check out Primary. I'm not a big fan of the cutesy kids clothes either, but I also love Carter's prices and I just assume Primary is a lot more expensive.

I'm a big Carter's fan also, can't beat the prices and they've held up so well! DD is a difficult size and no longer fits Carter's

I'm in bitch mode today. I swear if I weren't pregnant I'd think I was getting AF today. I'm meeting my Aunt for lunch in a few minutes and my friend asked me last minute to watch our other friend's daughter (who I watch at times) for a few hours. I said yes because I know she really needed me to. After this I'm dropping off the terribly behaved toddler and picking up DD1- we're going to my mom's to celebrate A's birthday. I don't like her, I don't have any memories of liking her, so that instantly puts me in a bad mood. A is a picky eater, so I told my mom I'd pick up McDonalds on the way because I know A will eat it. She said great. I just got a text asking me to get little caesar's instead. A loves pizza, but won't eat it. I offered to pick up a different kind of pizza and she just said- no just get cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets. That comment pissed me the fuck off and I think it's just because I'm already on edge about going over there. I don't want yo buy her and my brother anything. We were invited over... I'm being nice enough to buy them dinner- even if it is crappy fast food.

easternshoregirl let me know how how it turns out! I think I may do that over the weekend since the recipe I have is a little longer of a cook time.

My cousin's girlfriend just posted a pic of their kid holding what I HOPE is a fake (but very realistic) gun to his dad's head with the caption "lol our silly boy likes to kill us!" The kid is 3. And just WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ALL AROUND.

Potty training is going well except w insists on taking his pants all the way off everytime. Super fun in a public family bathroom where he also insisted he had to take his shirt off, refused to put shoes on, and then refused to pee. 5 minutes before my appt I'm chasing around a naked toddler who keeps trying to pull the emergency cord and screaming when I try to either get him dressed or get him to pee. A lot of mumbled and not so mumbled swear words.

Gotta catch up (will do that after A goes to bed) but we had a fun day. Took us a little while to figure out exactly how we wanted to attack the park but it all worked out and we spent a lot of time in the water. A had a blast.. She was laughing and screaming "I did big slide!!!!!" every time she went down with one of us. We are all exhausted and will be heading to bed earlier than normal..
Sharing this picture because it cracks me up. She wouldn't let us cut it up soooo here ya go, kid! -PDQ-
Poof

mrspiatt, what a mess...literally too it sounds like. Sorry to hear your day isn't going well at all. amberlie, wth!?!?! (the picture) But, I'm so glad to hear your sister is willing and able to help your financial situation right now! booarogue, we'll all be coming to you for PT tips! Did you use a particular method? (sorry if I missed that convo) taketheshot, sounds like a super fun day! layloo, how do you think your defense went? librarylady, OMG, I use the Ergo once a week to carry E on my back for about 15 minutes and it is so hard now. (It seems to be the best solution for doing our CSA pick up since that involves carrying a big cardboard box AND trying to manage E.)

easternshoregirl, I think it went okay. And since we are down a person who they are seemingly not replacing, we all should be okay in the library. Still annoying and oh so great for morale..

Oh hi! Woke up late this morning since M decided to have a party from 12-1:15/1:30. I didn't go in, but I was awake for a lot of it. So this morning was a rush.
Good day though. My friend and former coworker started at my job today. I'm so excited for her.

easternshoregirl lol layloo said something similar and I was like "didn't you see my post?! I clearly don't have any answers 😂😂😂" I read the book Oh crap it's potty training and waited until not only he was ready but we were too. And then just stocked the bar and went for it. Lol
