DD's 18 month well check is today. I leave for a conference out of town tomorrow. And the effing stitches in my mouth are driving me BSC!

I am going to work in my classroom this afternoon while K naps. I'm always so eager to get out for summer vacation but even more eager to go back.

Also, I suggested an idea to h today that he was only mildly interested in. It stems from having MIL here on my birthday and not totally getting to enjoy it. I thought it would be fun to have a special day for each of us where we get to exactly what we want. C will probably choose a movie and a special dinner, I will want to go to the bookstore and maybe shop for back to work clothes ALONE, etc. I think it will be a fun way to let us all indulge one more time before the crazy school year starts.

copperboom I love that idea! They're still working on our house. I wouldn't mind, if they could start after my kids and I get up. Waking up to hammering & saws on the walls, and stomping on the roof is unpleasant. Plus they knocked the power out in my bedroom and bathroom again 😥 I can't wait until they're done. We were supposed to go camping in the mountains next week, but because of the wildfires just across the border there are fire bans in effect for the whole area. So I need to call and cancel our reservation and figure out plan B. H's grandma wants us to go to camp with them, so we'll probably do that for a couple of days, but I can only handle so much church camp before I feel like I'm being judged constantly so I might try to find another campground to try.

copperboom I love that idea! We had a great time in Yellowstone! Great family vacay if ever looking for ideas and enjoy hiking. We saw bears, wolves, bison, elk, ospreys, bald eagles, mountain goats. Dd loves Elmo! So much that Sesame Street is not doing it for her right now because not enough Elmo. It's cracking me up.

It turns out H does like the idea, though he says he wants to use his day to finish up our unfinished house projects. I think he missed the point but I selfishly don't want to turn him off the idea.
Meanwhile I'm brainstorming all the things I want to do for my day 😜

I'm so glad you had a great time, @kelltothekell! I was thinking of Yellowstone for October break (from school) but don't even know where to start!

copperboom I would be so lost trying to decide what to do with myself for a whole day. I'd probably give up on trying to decide and just hide somewhere with a couple of books and junk food 😂

H just came up with an awesome idea for an app. Then we did a search and realized it already exists. We are 7 years too late.

Why couldn't the rain have started a few a hours ago? They've had to stop work, but because it didn't start raining until about half an hour ago, they still woke us up. Lame.
I have to remember to call and cancel our reservation for the campground.

I'm so glad you had a great time, @kelltothekell! I was thinking of Yellowstone for October break (from school) but don't even know where to start! Happy to answer any questions of you have them! I really didn't do much of the planning. My brother had been there before. We hit all the highlights and did several hikes. It may be snow covered / impassable in October. I'd check that out. Not sure when all that starts but they don't maintain many roads in snow.

We're supposed to have big thunderstorms tonight. I can hear one rolling in now, and I am hoping beyond hope that it waits another 30 min or so when there's a good chance the DDs will be in deeper sleep and maybe not hear it. DD1 is now deathly afraid of thunderstorms.

DD was so tired on the way to the airport to drop me off she wouldnt let me look at her. She finally fell asleep trying to avoid me. 😪 I'm drowning my sorrows at the airport with a Bloody Mary and fish tacos.

Sorry I was MIA for all of July. I got a nasty bug that felt like the flu and had to take a week off of work. I think I am back to about 90 percent now though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hugs dizzycooks, we're here if/when you want to talk. Ugh, theoprah, I hope you feel better. How is the house coming along? nellieoleson, I think you had mentioned using your IG to help with a business...what are you working on? scorpioscuba, how long is your conference? I'm sure your girl will be so happy to see you when you get back. I can empathize. I'm heading out tomorrow for a quick trip. This is my 6th trip in 6 weeks, and I've traveled 7 out of the last 8 weeks. Most of my trips are just one night or so, so that makes it easier, but still. It's a lot. Then MH is leaving next week for two weeks, so even though I'll be home next week, it won't be much of a break. And in two weeks I have to go for one overnight trip too, so we're both going to be gone. Nanny will stay with LO so I know he'll be fine, but it's the first time we'll both be gone and even though I'm technically only gone one night, the second night I won't get home until about midnight.

tinydancer that's such a bummer!! Work travel sucks! I am leaving for my last two week trip to Brussels at the end of September. DD is obsessed with me and I know this will be hard on her. I am so relieved it's the last one. The house is coming along. We are hosting a party for all the summer birthdays this Saturday at our house. Nothing is more motivating than hosting lol! DS is one of the summer birthdays - my baby boy turned four yesterday! He is never snuggly but last night I read him "our" book - I Love You Forever. He then asked me to hold him and rock him. Bliss!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

tinydancer - I want to eventually start getting work as a food stylist, but that will be quite a ways in the future, so we'll see. I have good connections in that field through my H's work, but I can't imagine juggling our littles, and both of us dealing with crazy, unpredictable schedules at the same time. theoprah - Four! So grown up! I can't believe how much more of a big kid 3 has been... I'm in total denial about 4 being around the corner. Glad you are finally feeling better! dizzycooks - Sorry things are tough right now. Hope they get better soon. We are hear to listen to any vents or all the creepy internet hugs you might need. lollipop - the smoke that was bothering you guys is now down here! Woke up to orange, hazy skies this morning - apparently the winds have changed and its smoke from the BC fires. Crappy air quality will be the perfect accompaniment to our 106 degree weather today. Woo hoo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

dizzycooks, from what you first said it sounded like it was going to be a crazy and possibly funny story. Now it's not sounding like that so much. I hope everything's ok, and no need to apologize for being too overwhelmed to post. Does anyone know how icequeen is doing? Is she still on the FB group?
