I need to find a dress for my dressy casual work event. I decided yesterday that I was going to wear a dress I wore to my grandparents anniversary but I tried it on today and could zip it up. I haven't worn it in 6 years. Any ideas? Check out lulus

I'm having a raging Saturday night. H is staying with my sister at her hotel, S is sleeping and DH is at a fantasy football draft. So what did I do with myself? Mopped my kitchen floors.

Woof, so we decided to grab dinner at the restaurant across the street that has a sand play boat and seemed nice. We checked in at 6:05 and weren't sat until 7:40(!!) They said it'd be 45 min. Lord that was stressful. We did make some friends with a couple with a 2 year old in the same boat and we ended up sitting next to them, so we joined our tables, so that was fun. I had to laugh, though, she heard my count to 10 in Spanish and asked if we were teaching the kids Spanish. Lol, just faux Spanglish, we are far from fluent. Naturally their daughter speaks Farsi and English.
We are now fb friends and I was nervous she'd be a little scared that my fb stuff is mostly political, but her fb profile pic is from the women's march and all anti Trump posts, so we are in the clear! We made real live friends, and they are from DC area too, so maybe we will hang out again (unlikely, but whatever)!
Oh and the talenti double chocolate gelato, not my favorite. MH picked it and won't be allowed to select unsupervised again.

Why can't I sleep in when it's my day to sleep in? I've been tossing and turning since 4am!

I have to go to a 225 person wedding shower today. I'm taking L so I have an out! The last shower I went to was only 100 people and was like 4.5 hours long.

Holy crap wineallthetime! The last shower I was at was maybe 25 people and that felt like more than enough to me. I don't even know 200+ people I would want to invite to my wedding.

Yesterday when Cass was getting dressed she held up her shorts and asked, "Is this the butt side or the vulva side?" 😅

cagoldi X is so handsome! Your kiddos have awesome hair. I see more of Dude's looks in him now. It's funny how much babies' looks can change in the first year. Both my girls went from dark hair, to redhead, to blond by the time they were 1.

We had a lot of fun at the Art and Air Festival yesterday. This morning I need to get the goofs up early to watch the hot air balloons go over head. Later we might go to an aquatic center because it's going to be hot again.

That's an insane number of people, @wine. I've been to weddings that were that big, but never a shower.

Morning! I was up from 1 to 4 for no good reason. I'm really dragging this morning, but I'm hoping coffee and an easy morning I will get me ready to spend the afternoon playing outside. The kids have been extra cute together lately, and I love these lazy days of summer.

I think they are seriously inviting like everyone they know! They're inviting their whole church. I feel bad for the groom cause his guest list is only 60 people, so it's all her parents people really.

So my house might flood & Mark is at home with the kids. Fuck. I realize there's nothing I can do from here but I'm freaking the hell out. Here's my front yard. What you can't see under the water is a sidewalk & 3 more feet of grass till the curb. This is a pic of the freeway which is extremely close to my house. And it's just supposed to keep raining.

tgrimes I woke up thinking of you and your family this morning while watching the news. I know it must be so hard to not be there with them right now. Is YH home by himself with the kids or is his parents there to help? Does he have any options of somewhere else to go? Does your house have a second floor? I have all the anxiety for you right now! SweetPotato I hope your new house doesn't get flooded!

lfig MH is at home with the kids. I told him to go to his parents' house but he didn't listen to me. Our house is 1 story and it doesn't look like he can drive anywhere, based on pics I've seen. The pic above of the freeway is braes bayou overflowing. MH said he drove down the side of it yesterday morning and it wasn't high at all.🙄

Ummmm, okay.
It's like he doesn't even know me. LOL.

I hope it doesn't get any worse tgrimes! I have some friends who are already flooded and others who are dangerously close. Our new house is fine so far. It sits on a pretty high pad and we had to dig a retention pond so I think we will be okay. I'm not sure about our old house that we still have - or my office.

So much rain. It's been raining all night. The neighbors fence was leaning before Harvey and now it's almost touching our house. Luckily the water seems to be draining well. tgrimes yikes! I'm really hoping there is a break for you guys soon so maybe some of it can drain. Does he still have power? My brother in Houston says the parking lot of his apt is flooded and he can't leave even if he wanted to.
