Here's a little Rebecca Black action to get your day started off right. What's new? Any plans this weekend?

Morning!
DH has a half day today so we'll probably spend the afternoon doing yardwork and getting a couple things for the pool. (Theoretically I knew this going in, but it's been confirmed in the last month: pool=money pit).
B just went into the bathroom and told me he needed privacy. 😳

Morning! I'm off today but the kids and I are meeting some coworkers and their kids for lunch today. Apparently we thought 5 kids at a restaurant was a good idea! At least there will be good food! We have L's 9mo appointment today too. That's about all folks!

Lol flamingo! I'm dying at "B needing privacy". I really wish we had a pool. I grew up with one so I'm so used to having one and I would love for my kids to have one. But DH did not. He's not a pool person. The maintenance, the money, etc.

Morning! My dad is coming over today. He should be here soon. Then we are going out to lunch and DH should hopefully be meeting us if he can swing a half day today. Then, we need to hit the grocery store because we are having a clambake tomorrow (!!!) and need some supplies... aka food and booze. Can't wait!

Lol flamingo. Lillian will sometimes tell me to get out when she needs to go to the bathroom. tjanca22 We sometimes do a brunch with my mom's club. Usually we go to CFA or something, but once we went to a sit down restaurant with I think 7 or 8 kids. They did surprisingly well! Have fun! waitwhat Sounds like a fun time!

Last day of quarantine! Yay! Lilah has a cough, but everyone is at least over the hump and better enough that we'll be going to our event on Monday.
I'm thinking we'll head out as soon as traffic dies down to look at tables at the consignment stores. I'd much rather buy from them than a person and I'm supposed to see a table this afternoon at someone's house. It's a pretty table, but she didn't seem to know much about it which is odd.
Going to get all my errands done as early as I can since it's supposed to start raining tonight. We are supposed to get slammed tomorrow and Sunday. We are far enough in that it shouldn't be too bad. I think high end predictions are like 8" total? We need the rain, but I worry for those on the coast. This hurricane could be really bad. I hope it's not.

He's not a pool person. The maintenance, the money, etc. My parents put one in at our first house in FL and were like, never again, haha. They are team Your H. The previous tenants let this one go to hell, including the equipment, so we've spent a ton of time dealing with the pool co. and getting it clean and pretty. We said renting this house would be our pool experiment and will dictate whether we'd consider one going forward. It's definitely been fun for the kids, tho. They go in every day and love it. The season would be even longer in FL. So idk. Also, a clambake sounds super fun! Like the up-north equivalent of an oyster roast

So remember how I said J can't figure out how to get back down from a standing position? Well he figured out a way. He pushes off whatever he is standing up against (couch, train table, etc) and just falls backwards onto the floor. No kid. This will not work.

Yay Friday! I got into work a little late this morning and will be leaving at 3:30. I'm picking up a toy that I bought on FB on my way home. It's a toy I've been eyeing in Amazon but half the price and brand new! I've been looking at getting some "standing" type toys for C like a jungle gym or treehouse thing. There's a couple in FB for a decent price. We decided to put the jumper away since it's just taking up space right now and never gets used. Time to create a big boy place area 😭

Weather is crazy 8 is what they said on the news last night, but just I saw 12. We'll see! I think our area is kind of on the edge so places just 20 miles south could get much more depending on how the storm comes at us.

I'm here at work physically, but mentally I'm on a tropical island laying on the beach drinking some fruity alcoholic beverage with an umbrella in it.

This sort of surprises me about you! I know, it's weird. I do hate oysters. But I also love crab, lobster and crawdads (or crayfish/crawfish, is there a difference?). I don't like shrimp though.

I'm guessing I won't be getting home tomorrow. I wonder if I'll have to hang out at the airport to wait it out or if they'll just change my flight.

I'm surprised you haven't gotten a call yet actually. Last few times I have flown and there was even a possible risk we got messages that they would switch our flights for free.

Can you call and reschedule your flight tgrimes? Might have more choices if you're proactive/before the masses all descend. Orrr bc the airlines can be so screwy they could try to charge you $1000 and your firstborn for the privilege of rebooking you. :shruggy guy:

DH took both kids to the grocery store. Good luck and God bless, honey.
I'm filling my downtown with chores. Sad, but easier to do without the kiddos underfoot.

My goodness is it Friday already? This week is flying. H slept like shit at the camper last night. And DH got up partway through "to go get some air" and slept in the car (fucker). So I'm having a bath to relax. He got a call yesterday for his next shift offshore, he leaves Thursday for 3 weeks again. So he'll have a week and a half home...

So another one of my pregnant friends had her baby yesterday. She had professional pictures taken during her labor and delivery. Not something I would personally do, but a lot of the pictures are really sweet and she seriously looks amazing in them. Except for this one pic that looks to be taken shortly after they placed the baby on her chest. It's taken from behind, so you see the top/back of her head and the baby on her chest, but you also see her legs in the stirrups and the doctor all up in her lady bits. She's very clearly getting stitched up in that picture, and I can't help my squeeze my legs together when I look at it. I apparently did a really good job forgetting about all the afterbirth stuff.

My parents are supposed to drive up to help us with move in day next week (6 more nights!) However I am concerned this storm could cause problems for them, not sure how I will do move in day solo with 2 kids.... H should be helping but he is grumbling about missing work. Oyi.
Meanwhile dd was up waaaay to early today and a crank because of it and DS just woke her up from a nap because he will never go to sleep quietly. I just bribed her to do back in an read on our bed, hopefully that lasts a while because I need a break.

Southwest is offering to change your flight for free if you fly into one of the 5 airports effected by the hurricane. I'm now going home Thursday, for a few reasons.
I don't think my mom should be left alone yet & I don't want to get stranded at the airport.
Thank heavens I have amazing in laws.
