Whoops, typo, supposed to be LR for Lionel Ritchie. I remember rocking to the Commodores with my mom in the 80s. Lol. He was fabulous. A true performer

I'm really struggling with either carpel tunnel or tendinitis. It's making work difficult today. I may try and see if I can get in to the ortho in a few weeks when I'm back in STL for Sierra's next appt. I'm hoping I can get a shot in my wrist and it will help. Ouch! I think I've had a touch of that and it's such an annoying pain. And it's hard to 'rest' your wrists. Keep your dirty jokes to yourself bitches. Lol! I struggled with it during pregnancy, then it got so bad when she was 3 months old I got an MRI and they confirmed it was tendinitis. They gave me a shot and said it the pain came back in a month I would probably need surgery. The pain came back, but I couldn't fathom having surgery with a baby. How would I take care of her. So I suffered through it and eventually it got better on its own. But now, its back, but feels different. That's why I think maybe carpel tunnel. I don't know...but it's making me crazy and causing me trouble throughout the day.

@peach (any any other dinosaur-loving kiddos), my sister-in-law bought this for Josie. I thought M might like this. It's very cute, and super fun for them. You soak the dinosaur eggs in a container of water, and after five minutes it's soft enough to dig out the dinosaur.

lfig, I have deQuervains syndrome. It happens in the last month of my pregnancy with Josie, but I've had some major flareups after. It's actually really bad right now in my right hand because Charlie weights 9,000 lbs. The orthopedist that I saw prescribed a cream called Voltaren. It helps a lot.

I'm not sure, but I bet target because she gave them a few other things that she mentioned she got it target – bows and lipgloss for Josie and these really great grip and go cars for Charlie.

I just got 4 pairs of work pants at Kohls for $100, which is pretty good. There's a 20% off coupon that ends today. Works online as well.

Sorry your wrists are giving you trouble, lfig. I just now settled in on the couch to rest for a bit and X shot up from his nap immediately. Of course.

I need to unpack, do laundry and then repack. Someone give me some motivation. Are you going away? Is this your California trip? Yes! I'm going to work until 2 or3 and then heading to the airport. Without kids. I'd say it sounds like heaven but I'll be with me parents so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi all! It's been busy, and frankly I've just needed a break from being plugged in after the events taking place this past week. We're on our way to see the eclipse, and I'm excited about that. But it's a hike, yo. The girls are such champs, though. I got the problem with my work schedule straightened out, and I'm teaching in the fall, so that was good news. Inservice on Tuesday. I'm not ready for the end of summer! The big one has had events connected to being a senior every day this week but today, and school starts next Monday. We're looking at senior picture ideas, and out of the blue he said he wants a plaid shirt for a more rustic feel. He is SO not a rustic type. I'm not sure people will recognize him. But I found one. He loves it. I'll probably have to scrape it off his body to wash it. We're planning to go to Hilton Head next summer, so I just tried to book at the Disney resort. Already full nearly a year out. Might try massaging the dates, but if anyone has a resort recommendation, I'm open to ideas. I've heard good things about the omni.

Hi. Lazy Sunday. Just got back from the grocery store with M. MH just left for work, so it's me and the boys at home the rest of the day. We will probably go out for a walk later when it cools off so M can burn some energy.

You guys, I'm so mad at myself. I weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I have been since before getting pregnant with H (pregnancies aside). DH weighs 4lbs more than me. This is a problem, and I'm mad at myself for letting it get this bad. There is no one to blame for this but myself. I am going to be doing something about it starting tomorrow (since I'm at work today).

Just ran out and got the kids a few more pairs of shorts for vacation, $1.99 per pair in Children's Place. Next I'm going to get myself new bras because I'm busting out of the new ones I bought 3 weeks ago (but I've waited my whole life for this problem so it's ok.) Stupid media coverage of the eclipse has my nervous kid wanting us all to spend tomorrow in the basement.
Question, pull up or no pull on the plane for T? His only accidents all summer all happened at home, he can hold it pretty well, and the flight is only 2.5 hours. Plus, he will definitely want to check out the plane bathroom because he's fascinated that the plane has one. I'm leaning towards no, but then I'm like what if the seatbelt sign stays on and I can't take him.

We took a 6 hour road trip like a month after H was potty trained and she refused to go in the diaper I put on her and instead made us go to rest stops.

After a couple of cortisone shots in my wrist it hasn't come back, though.

Finally got to see Dunkirk! Loved it.
Then I had to go to the store to buy food I can eat since it was mh's week to shop and he didn't buy a single vegetable. He sucks. He knows I'm not eating meat, but bought a bunch of meat. Wtf?

And MH is heavy too so thankfully he is more than 4 pounds heavier than me I have a stomach bug now and haven't eaten all day so I plan to use this as a jump start to changing my habits

I am going to be doing something about it starting tomorrow (since I'm at work today). I've been there and it totally sucks. Get meal planning and keep your calories to a good amount and the weight will come off. With JC I started at 1700 calorie days for a couple weeks, then went down to 1500, where I am now until J is nursing less, then it'll be 1200. Set your goal and go for it! I'd be happy to share a day of eating if you'd like.

The cleaners came yesterday so I think I'm going to go to the new house and start trying to unpack some kitchen boxes!! So exciting! When do you guys have to be out of the house you're in now? We have to be totally out be Friday, but we are renting a truck to get the last of everything and are planning on being out on Tuesday!

I'd be happy to share a day iof wating if you'd like. I need to get my shit together and go grocery shopping. I'm sure I have nothing but junk in my house. I'm planning to go low/no carb, no dairy and low sugar, basically a modified whole 30. Hopefully that'll get things started in the right direction. Also I need to get my butt moving so I think I'm going to for sure go for a long walk every morning (barring any rain) and maybe try to do an exercise video a few days a week. I don't want to get too ahead of myself because then I'll fail. Sorry, I guess I'm just brain dumping right now.

But great, great movie.

Happy Sunday! A few girlfriends from college came out this morning. I made brunch and we had a bunch of mimosas. We used to try and get together every few months but it's been over a year and half since we've gotten together. They had never met H. It was getting to point where I thought our friendship was going to fizzle but I'm so glad today happned. It was great catching up. I'm the only one married and with kids and we are all at completely different stages in our lives, but we already put our next outing on the calendar. I'm going to go into the cities in October and have a kids free girls weekend!
Now dh is gone for the night and I'm home with a crabby boy and a still napping girl. And I'm sleepy from the mimosas.

I am going to be doing something about it starting tomorrow (since I'm at work today). That is where I was in January when I started BBM. I glad I took pictures because they will motivate me to get going again after the baby. I actually learned that I wasn't eating enough and started eating a protein every 3 hours.

I need to unpack, do laundry and then repack. Someone give me some motivation. You're barking up the wrong tree if you're looking at me. I emptied the contents of my suitcase onto my bed, thinking that would force me...nope, I've just been removing stuff as I need it and have left the rest. Must. Do. Laundry. Tonight. B literally has no clean shorts left.
