10 things Tuesday

[meeggaannw]

I liked this last time we did it.

[meeggaannw]

1) I'm tired. My kid is now firmly awake at 7:30 every morning but my body has not gotten that memo so I rarely fall asleep before midnight.
2) my fil is gone! His trip was a waste because they did not get mh's truck fixed so I'm even more annoyed that he came.
3)dd woke me up this morning bouncing in her crib and yelling. I looked at the monitor and she was completely naked! This kid is killing me slowly.
4) DD is still also refusing to nap, like I said, killing me slowly.
5) I have to take both kids to the store at some point today. We are completely out of essentials like milk and bread.
6) I'm eating info a delicious blueberry English muffin and drinking lukewarm reheated coffee.
7)i have laundry to fold and a dishwasher to unload but I'm completely avoiding it.
8) it is really hard to think of 10 things.
9) anyone watch atypical on Netflix? I finished it last night and thought it was really good.
10) also speaking of Netflix anyone watch ozark? I have heard good things but I barely got through the first episode, does it pick up?

I like this one too meeggaannw! So annoying that enduring a weekend with your FIL didn't even result in a fixed truck.

1. M and I are in Chicago to meet my 3 week old nephew! He's so sweet and squishy and it's so great to see my sister as a mom!
2. M and I are staying at an Airbnb and I didn't sleep at all bc I'm a huge wimp and was scared of every noise.
3. We're walking to get groceries now while my sister and the baby sleep.
4. It was super cloudy here so not much to see for the eclipse.
5. It is cool and the neighborhood is so pretty and every time I visit, I love it here.
6. But no thank you to Chicago winters.
7. DS has been driving me crazy with his two year old-ness lately. So naturally I miss him like crazy.
8. My mom was supposed to be here too but my grandma had a stroke so she's at home taking care of my grandma (it was very minor and she will be fine).
9. I'm really bummed she's not here.
10. Made it to the grocery store! Have a great Tuesday!

carrots that sounds like such a fun adventure! I'm sorry to hear about your grandma but I'm glad to hear she will be okay. Enjoy your time with your new nephew!

1. I'm going to make myself come out of lurkerdom.
2. I've started tracking cycles again and this one is already on day 50 with no flow in sight. PP periods are the worst.
3. I think I've been dealing with some depression issues lately. This is about the same time it happened after DS1 was born.
4. I'm so tired of financial issues.
5. I was looking forward to our east coast trip but now it feels too stressful.
6. I found a 15 minute upper body workout video that doesn't feel impossible to keep up with and I'm going on two weeks with it! It's a miracle Lol
7. A coworker shared his cinnamon roll with me and it's SO GOOD.
8. So thankful our A/C issues with the Traverse were happening only because the filter needed changed.
9. I have finally figured out how to get my fingers to work to make a successful fishtail braid. It's only taken years...
10. I'm the worst parent; We hardly worked with DS1's writing practice for his homework. We did it, just not often enough.

1. Mh has a lunch meeting the next town over so he's working from home instead of going into the city. It's ruining my groove.

2. I want to be lazy but with above mention h being here, I feel guilty.

3. I've sucked with excercise the last week or two but have kept up the healthy eating despite our travels.

4. I went to the thrift store and got a couple things for dd since they're having their back to school sale. Some of it is 12 month to -2T which I'm sure my peanut will fit in when she's 5.

5. I grabbed a sweet old wooden window/door screen/frame thing from someone's trash that I spotted while driving. I haven't finished a bazillion and a half other projects but I couldn't resist. I'll make another garden trellis with it.

6. I guess the garbage truck was extra juicy because it left a trail of horribly smelly liquid all down the street. It's hot and humid today so it smells great outside. Luckily I turned on the AC last night so it's not wafting into the house.

7. We're going to a baseball game tonight. I was excited but not so much anymore because this weather blows.

8. My older half brother gave me a piece of lilac Fiestaware (hard to find color) this weekend and it looks divine with my other bowls.

9. Mh wants to plan a week long road trip without the kids for next summer. The choices are a VT-NH-ME or a NC-TN-KY type loop.

10. I'm still exhausted from traveling so much. I'm kind of looking forward to staying home this weekend which is weird for me.

Does anyone have any good dinosaur show recommendations? Ds is in a big dino phase right now. We have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. I'd prefer a show vs a movie because of timing reasons. While the first Land Before Time is scary but okay, the rest are garbage.

1. E was up at 2 and 4 although she got here self back to sleep at 4.
2. I want chocolate. I have none
3. I am so sleepy.
4. I have a board meeting to attend tonight and I don't want to
5. I worked out last night so proud of myself
6. I am in a rut with dinner and meal planning
7. E has a 3rd tooth
8. She will be 10 months old on Friday
9. Anneliese's second birthday is Saturday
10. Yay my Amazon order arrives today

Sorry I'm being a bad J17er. I'm on VACATION this week! Kids are in daycare and I'm working on "me" time.

DH and I went to see Wonder Woman this morning. Nothing like an empty theater Tuesday matinee!

This afternoon I'm listening to music other than Moana and sewing the black-out curtains that have been on my to-do list since we moved in to this house over a year and a half ago.

Dinosaur Train on PBS Kids/the PBS Kids app is a big favorite in our house.

I'm trying so hard to keep it together. Dd did not nap, yet again. And she just woke R up from his 2nd nap about an hour early. This is going to be such a long night. And I can't even get out of the house with them to make it easier because mh has to take my van to work because his truck is still not running. I just want to scream/cry/run away.

So true.
