DS has had a fever since yesterday morning. It's around 100-101 with no other symptoms other than him laying on the couch and sleeping a lot yesterday. I can't decide if we need to just stay home today, or if it's okay to take the kids out somewhere. It's a beautiful day, but I don't want to expose anyone else if he has something contagious.

I've been making calls all morning for appts and medical records and now need to find a babysitter for w. Anyone used care.com? I've probably asked this before but I'm tired so humor me 😕 Yes, we have. We have had nothing but great luck on there, so go for it! And trust your gut.

Peekaru - We haven't had any issues over the weekend. I'm supposed to hear from the service manager of one company today to set up an appointment, but haven't heard anything yet. My FIL has two other companies that are also supposed to come out and take a look (have no clue when). So, if that happens, we will have 3 2nd opinions, hopefully by the end of the week. One of the companies that is supposed to come out is actually a HUGE contractor (like, they do highway construction type stuff) so I'm not really sure that they will be about doing a small job like ours.

Monday, monday, monday.
Our DCP is back after a week off, and I am so looking forward to tired kids this afternoon. H and I also talked and we are going to have to take a different approach to DS (4.5). He is the definition of strong willed and it's slowly making me lose my will to live. I don't want to fight about EVERYTHING child.
Saturday I rode 18 miles and then took the kids to DC to see a friend, so I walked 17,000 steps. I am still sore. And I somehow managed to eat so much in response to Saturday that I feel huge and fat today.
I guess it's time to go back to whole30. Le sigh.

Oh redandblue , what holiday is it? Must be Canadian. My calendar says "Civic Holiday". I wonder if it is similar to our labor day!

Peekaru, I manage and teach for a low-residency MFA program. So, our students are here in June and July, and then work remotely during the Fall and Spring semesters. For most of August, we are "off"– turning the studios around for the traditional residency program, updating equipment in all of the labs, etc. But, there are no classes taking place, and a lot of people use the time to go on vacation. I'm not technically the only one in the building– there are techs in each of the labs, maintenance is painting, etc, but a lot of people are out, including my boss (the Chair of the program) and those I share an office with.

I picked up H from the airport Friday night... traffic was horrible. It took over 1 1/2 hours to get there and 2 hours home. I hate LAX... Saturday we went to the Big City Mom's- Biggest Baby Shower Ever. I went last year, it was in March, it was cool, but A was already 8 months old and we couldn't use a lot of the stuff we got. This time was different, I can use just about everything. The Ergobaby booth was doing caricatures, so we had them do one of A... We spent the rest of Saturday in the pool. Yesterday we had breakfast, watched Moana and then an episode of Beat Bugs... spent most of the day in the pool. A is so good about pool breaks to reapply sunscreen etc. When we got out I decided to let a cuddle with us in our bed, which led to the 3 of us taking a 3 hour nap. Game of thrones was awesome last night... I was pretty amped at the end of it, but went to sleep fairly easily. Edit to add caricature

H and I decided over the weekend that we need to try to move out of this house before the lease is up. Lease ends 11/30- I'm due 11/21. I reached out to the landlords to see if they'd let us out a month or 2 early with out penalty. We've been here for almost 7 years, I really hope they do this for us. We looked at apartments to move into. Found one that in a decent area in a small town for $1100 a month. It's also so much closer to H's work and most of our friends. Plus less than 1/2 of our rent now. Landlords said they'd think about it and get back to me. In the meantime, I'm going to start selling packing stuff. It'll be easier for me to do it now and we won't be staying her past 11/30. I need to fill DD1 in, she can come with us, but she won't have her own space and will likely share a room with A. Right now her bedroom is our garage (which is converted). She's planning on moving in her with her BF anyway, so I'm not too worried about it.

Well, I didn't do nearly as much as you, but I did work out a ton this weekend and I barely sat down yesterday, but I overindulged (as per) when it came to food and sweets. I really should check myfitnesspal BEFORE I go to Arby's. I would've never got that milkshake!

aydee I'm just trying to get everything sorted at my new gyn(breast biopsy and scans sent over from 2012) and get in to be seen about a few things. Nothing big just annoyances since having Walt plus a renewed referral for pelvic floor therapy. I'm hoping my phone will entertain w.

At the doctor for my never-ending stomach issues. I'm on day 10. So my life is super fun right now. I think the doctor has no idea, so I'm going to get some testing done.

Betweenthelines- SOA is a fantastic show and while you may not know it... your reaction was likely warranted. It is so good.

Peekaru it's Civic Holiday. FFMC I have zero clue why it's a holiday, and so I looked it up and still can't really find a meaning! It's just nice to have another long weekend in the summer I suppose! Lol! fierymama we get labour day as well, so I don't know that there is an American equivalent. Someone more worldly and smarter than me might know. My 10 second Google search did not turn anything up! Lol

Peekaru DH and I are starting the whole 30 tomorrow. I seriously feel uncomfortable in my own skin at the moment, so I need to make a change. So naturally today we plan to eat and drink ALL the things. You know, to pad our stats on the weight loss (hopeful weight loss anyways).
