Back to the grind. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was super busy, we barely had 5 minutes to relax. I was considering taking today off as a recovery day, but have too much time sensitive stuff to deal with today and tomorrow.

I would have run out of room for stamps by now if they did! Did you have a nice trip? How did the hotel tax end up coming out?

Today is such a Monday-ish Monday. We had a super fun weekend, and since today is the last day of the month, I know this week is going to be crazy at work with month-ending reports, etc. And I woke up this morning with the start of what I suspect to be a summer cold. Naturally, I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon holding my BFF's four month old baby, so I'm just hoping since I felt fine yesterday I couldn't have gotten him sick yet - I'd hate to be responsible for baby's first cold! The good news is, I also just started my period and held said baby without any real pangs wanting another baby - so yay!

I feel ya on the month end reports jillywilly! The fact that I have to wait to get data from other sources always puts me into a time crunch. Hopefully you didn't get the baby sick. Who knows, maybe it's just allergies.

I know that you never needed a passport to go there until 9/11 I wanna say but I was googling & it sounded like they did stamp them at one point & then it got transferred over to them just scanning it. That sucks, I was so looking forward to DS at least getting a stamp, let alone us. We were gonna ask them because one person online on some forum said you can ask them at the border but we got sidetracked by the dude letting us know we didn't have them signed. Lolol

misspeansmama we had a good time! I ended up with AF towards the end of it so that stunk but it was manageable. I could definitely see us returning when DS is a little older. There was some times he was complaining about all the walking or lack of constant activity or we'd go do something (ie: the butterfly conservatory - my favorite & he enjoyed it as well but after like 10 minutes, he was done & ready to go like dude, come on! we just got here lol) Anyways, with the hotel tax, those taxes that I read about were indeed included with our quote but we got the optional tax removed. It's simply listed as "PF" & it's also per night. It was almost 60 bucks so I mean, that's pretty hefty especially when each night was pretty darn expensive. Then when we checked in, this guy hands me this coupon thing & says oh I swiped your card for 12 dollars & these coupons are "complimentary." I'm like not really complimentary if I'm paying for it. So I said well, what if we don't use them. He kind of side-eyed me & said well you can return them but they are a great deal & blah blah blah look them over. We did later & they were useless to us. Some drinks & transportation pass, a pic at the hershey place we didn't go to & other things we didn't visit. So later on I go down & give it back to them & say I don't want it. It's a new guy & he says, who told you you can return this, it's a mandatory fee? I said the guy that checked us in?? So he reluctantly said ok & takes them back. Then the morning of check out, we get the itemized bill & I see that this fee for these stupid coupons are actually PER NIGHT so they're on there twice. He only comped me for one night. I brought that up to the front desk so they then removed the second one. LOL you can't fool me people!! So all in all, I knocked 88 bucks off our bill.

Who knows, maybe it's just allergies. Allergies crossed my mind, it is that time of the year that mine start to kick in. I've taken a Claritan, some Advil, and those zinc pills so far and am still feeling human, so here's hoping!

DS was supposed to start a math soccer camp for just 3 hours this morning but he woke up with a headache so we decided to keep him home. He's been sleeping on & off. This happens sometimes when we get back from traveling. I think he gets a little rundown from being in the car. That & he also has those molars brewing still + the tooth that's loose & the front teeth that are growing in. The combination of everything is probably hitting him hard. Hopefully he feels better. It just sucks though because he really hasn't eaten anything all day. :/ he's just so sleepy.

DS left this morning on a trip with my dad. He will be back on Thursday evening. He was so excited for a road trip with Papa. They've gone on a trip together for the last five years. I'm excited for a break 😊
I'm cleaning my house and then meeting my SIL for dinner. SO works today so it's just me and the dog.

DH started his new job today. He now gets out at 2:30. He said he was going to be a little late because he wanted to go check out the gym facility they have to see if it's worth signing up for. But no matter what time he ends up leaving, he will be the one picking DD up on his way home. It's going to be so nice to save that hour of driving after I get out of work each day. I am really looking forward to having an extra hour in our evenings.
I am going to have to get doors put in on my office soon though. Since they will be home while I am still working, I am going to need a way to keep out their noise.

DD randomly breaks down crying saying how she is going to miss her friends from preschool when she starts her new school. The worst! He was crying this morning, heart broken. These kids just adore each other. I'm worried about the transition to K.

Damn, I just realized today's the last day of the reading program at the library. DS has his last page to get stamped for a prize. They are open until 8:30 tonight at least but I'd hate for him to miss the last goodie! :/

Unless my company opens another office back in my area, I will be working from home as long as I am employed with them.

We got home yesterday from our vacation. It was great but I'm glad to be home. DD was excellent on the trip. I took her to the park this morning but I am not feeling great this afternoon. I have a headache and my back hurts.

We also found out today that DD got accepted into our local Pre-K program. I'm super excited but she will be a little sad because she will be changing schools.

R took a late nap, or at least later than she has been, and is still sleeping. I need to find my extra blackout curtains and see about temporarily hanging then in the living room. Starting tomorrow we've got highs of 100/108/109/102, then back to the 90's this weekend. Our front window is huge and let's in a lot of light/heat, so it needs covered. Our tiny window AC unit is going to pushed to the test.

Today started off with a mammogram & ultrasound, but ended with me taking off Friday to go to the beach...so, I'm excited about the latter.
