That Friday Feeling

[Lakes]

We made it!

[Lakes]

Sleep has been a bit better the last two nights. I'm sure it will all go to crap at the shore this weekend since extended family is visiting so we're sharing one room with both kids. I finished a library book last night and am almost done uploading and organizing the old family photos. The kids are cooperating and entertaining themselves right now so I'm hoping to finish them now. I'm currently waiting for another batch to upload. Then I need to make lemon bars and pack. Today will be a good day. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Confession: I'm salty that my inlaws didn't pick us up for the shore early, fwp I know. They just drove by our exit and texted me that they were all busy and distracted this week and forgot. Mil said they would have stopped but they didn't have the car seats. Lady what?! I have car seats here and will gladly take them out of my car and install them in yours. Come baaaaaaaaack.

I'm sory for being an absentee J17. Life is...busy. I changed jobs at work this week, my big girl is being a threenager and really putting a damper on my mood. And my house is a wreck. And I'm being mean to my fab husband. Woof.

However, today is my work from home day. So, hopefully I can get some chores done. My SIL is coming to hang out this afternoon, hopefully the weather holds out so that we can play in the pool.

Headed to my bff's house to play. She has 2 kids the same ages as mine. It's a 50 minute drive so of course M pooped 5 minutes into it and it smells so bad that DS is complaining about it being stinky.
Tonight I'm going out with my girlfriends and I'm so pumped! Going to try hard to avoid a hangover tomorrow though.

Good morning. Mh is off today so it actually feels like a Friday. He is replacing our kitchen faucet today and it has already turned into quite a project, he is on his 2nd trip to lowes.
Apparently his truck is going to require more work than he can do on his own so his dad is flying down next weekend to help him. While that sounds like a nice thing I'm dreading it. I don't have a great relationship with his dad and I'm irrationally annoyed by it. Like there aren't mechanics here in Florida? Is this really a cheaper solution? Also his dad is apparently an "expert at everything ". Not a mechanic but he is the go to to fix the truck?
Also his parents are coming for a week in September, they were just here in June, and now his dad is coming for a long weekend in august. Tldr: me complaining, nothing new.

Lakes have fun this weekend! Sorry for the room sharing, fx for some decent sleep.
judyblume14 was the job change planned, for better or not? I also understand that crazy life, my dd decided last week she is done with naps, listening, and eating at meals. It's fun.
carrots have fun on your play date and girls night! Also did I miss if you updated about your sister and the baby?

Last night was much better than the day. E "got" me a new electric can opener I wanted. H got me tickets to see Bernadette peters in concert!!! Ahhhh so excited.

Also E slept through the night. Work is so hectic. I don't have many complaints really. It's also Friday though.

[judyblume14]

meeggaannw, the job change wasn't planned. It's not a bad thing, just surprising. My role isn't changing drastically, just need to get used to a new team and new manager. OMG... RIP naps. So sorry.

[judyblume14]

peaseblossom55, I missed your birthday yesterday! I hope there was cake. Happy Birthday

[carrots]

meeggaannw my sister and the baby are both doing great! He spent 2 nights in the NICU for his dehydration but has been doing great since!

I'm in the same boat judyblume14. I haven't been around in forever, and life is kicking my butt.

Sorry for being so absent! I still think about y'all. W is nearing 7 months old and the big kid is almost 3. 😳

[judyblume14]

tex, twins! Big girl will be 3 in sept

DH and I got out to see Dunkirk together last night. We've been trying harder to fit in "us" time because with everything we have going on in life, the first thing to suffer is the time we spend connecting as a couple.

I have two baby showers this weekend, both of which I'm helping host, so it's going to be busy.

I struggle with the weekend travel/sleep conundrum too Lakes. We have a house down the Cape that we go to with my inlaws. It's awesome to have a fun place that you can get away to, but the different environment and room sharing negatively impacts Bs sleep.

[ellabee]

Haiiiii tex!!!!

[ellabee]

Good luck with the new position judyblume14!

[Lakes]

Hiiiiii tex!

I haven't told y'all this but W is straight up crawling. And already trying to pull himself up. Send all the wine. 😳

[Lakes]

ellabee how was Dunkirk? The social studies teacher in me really wants to see it but the mom in me wants to be asleep by 9. Guess I should take a page out of your book and work on more together time.

Mine is already army crawling from one side of the house to the other. I'm mentally preparing myself for her to be walking next month because she's a spitfire and would do it just to spite me 😬
