Weekend Thoughts

[Lakes]

I stayed up way too late reading. I have regrets already. I can't handle 11:30 anymore. But I finished the book!

Mh made blueberry pancakes and sausage though so I guess I'm ahead of the game.

I also stayed up too late. After we put the kids to bed my college aged nephew and his girlfriend came over and watched the monitor so we could escape the house. We just went to a close restaurant for drinks and dessert but it was nice to get out just the two of us without the kids.
When we got home I wrote out next months calendar with mh's new work schedule. Apparently his parents are coming at the end of September for a week and then he's goes to work for 6 days and then his brother and family of 5 gets here, for 2 weeks! I'm not the only one that finds this crazy right?!

We're at the big fancy mall. New stores have opened since I've been here. There's a Le Creuset store. Omgeeeeee I'm drooling and starting my Christmas list.

On the way to the inlaws.

Trigger warning:
Today is anne.liese 2nd birthday. Got my heart aches. I miss her so much. In her honor I donated to the Anne Frank center for mutual respect.

[Lakes]

*hugs* peaseblossom55 I think that's a wonderful way to honor A's 2nd birthday ❤️

That's such a lovely way to honor A, peaseblossom55.

Lakes, Here's a few relatively recent pup pictures! Cinnabun is getting so big and she's such a love bug.

I just bought a pair of jeans from llbean. Does that mean I'm officially a middle aged woman? Don't care. I want my entire wardrobe to be llbean because I'm old and want to move back north.

[Lakes]

Ahhhhh thelittleredm I cannot handle those ears! I hope you're doing okay with everything and getting some me time. *hugs*

Another regretful night owl over here. But my reason for staying up was a good one ... booking a vacay!

meeggaannw, sounds like a lovely date! That September/October schedule sounds... intense.

What a nice was to celebrate/honor A, @peaseblossom!

We had swim class with the big this morning. After naps, we're heading to a BBQ.

[Lakes]

I...would not want anyone in my house for two weeks meeggaannw. Not my parents, not my brother, not even my bff. Stock up on booze and your sweet treat of choice.

Lol Lakes, I just saw your post about LLBean jeans. If they're comfy, that's all that matters.

(Insert "haters gonna hate" gif here.)

What a sweet way to honor your daughter peaseblossom55. Thinking of you and your family today.

I googled haters gonna hate gifs and felt that this pony one was appropriate for you 😉



I do feel the need to clarify that they are not high waisted mom jeans! Low rise but more flattering to my mom belly than my pre-pregnancy jeans. But I still feel old buying them from llbean.

Stayed up late again because I found out that my Welsh crime drama had new episodes. Then dd was up a bunch, she's been cutting her first tooth! Regrets, I have them.

July dragged and took forever but August has flown by and I'm not sure where it's gone. I just got an email reminder that my library books, that I finished yesterday, are due on the 30th. I have plenty of time to drop them off I thought to myself. Then I kept reading the reminder and it said "3 days". Wait, what? Where did August go?!

[ellabee]

We had a super fun day yesterday with our friends. We rented a boat and cruised out to an island for a beach picnic.

B conked right out when the motor went on and LOVED playing in the ocean. He tried to eat a fair amount of sand too lol.

Today is just cleaning up the house and trying to get home with as little screaming in traffic as possible.

ETA: b eating rocks.

[meeggaannw]

ellabee he is so so cute! Good luck on the drive home, glad you had a successful weekend!

Lakes and judyblume14 yeah I'm not sure I realized what I was agreeing to. I was a little annoyed it was like someone visiting every month but I didn't realize it was 6 days apart, not thrilled.

thelittleredm so cute! My mom has an auggie (Australian shepherd corgi mix) and she is one of my favorite dogs.

peaseblossom55 I hope your day went alright yesterday. I think you do such a beautiful job honoring and remembering your daughters.

[meeggaannw]

I also stayed up a little too late last night and then, because I am a crazy person, I got up at 3:30 am to put a pot roast in the crockpot. I seared it and everything. I offered to help make Sunday lunch for my mom because she is not doing great since going back to work so I wanted to take something off her plate. I am exhausted. And to top it off we are having crazy storms and flooding so 2 of my brothers and their families are not coming to lunch. So instead of 14 people we will have 7, oh well the leftovers will be delicious.

Does anyone else find it a major accomplishment to finish a cup of coffee without having to reheat it? It's been a while since I've succeeded.

[peaseblossom55]

Thank you meeggaannw

[peaseblossom55]

I drank too much wine yesterday. I went to bed early and slept well. My parents are coming over soon to see E.

Noooope. I chug that sucker like I'm at a college party with someone to impress. All business over here with the 6am wakeups. That being said, I eagerly look forward to the day when I can leisurely enjoy my coffee. Sighs.
