The Hitman's Bodyguard. It's an action/comedy with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson (so of course every second sentence had the phrase "mother fucker" in it, so you'd have to be OK with that type of language).

My kids are driving me insane. D's nap lasted 35 minutes so I got exactly 10 minutes of sleep before I had to get up again. I am so sick of this shit. I'm crabby and it's not going to help me in dealing with her crabby tired ass all afternoon. Just start drinking. I was actually just thinking about this. Of course, it's now been almost 7 hours since he left the house and DH is still not home. If he ever does decide to grace us with his presence I can knock out my work out and then let the drinks start to flow. ETA they finished their golf round at 2. He's just taking his merry fucking time getting home and probably having all the beers.

Okay after my last bitchy post I feel compelled to let you guys know that DH just texted me and he is at the liquor store picking up wine for me.
Husband Level 379 unlocked! 🙌🏻

We've raided the neighbours apple tree and B has instructed me to 'make the BEST APPLE PIE EVER' as he headed to the spray park with MH. I smile and nod but I've never made a pie, anyone have a great pie filling recipe they love? Please share.

I don't have a recipe, but I did buy a salted caramel apple mini pie from the food truck on Thursday. It was amazing and a nice change from a regular apple pie.

I'm just catching up and all I remember is all the amazing food jubilantsquirrel talked about. I'm drooling over here! Ok, I exaggerated... dashook hope you get to sneak a workout in to burn off some stress before drowning yourself in wine! vino I don't have a recipe but I f'n love apple crumble. I can't wait for fall to enjoy some. tgrimes I am so happy to hear your dad's in rehab now. That means he's medically stable enough to move on and that's a good thing! Hope he's able to maximize the approved days there!

I think MH is getting his period.
He was in a "mopey" mood today (his words not mine). Like dude I get exactly 2.4 hours of adult interaction per week and you're ruining it! Can you just be normal, throw on a tampon, eat some chocolate fudge brownie B&Js and deal with it like the rest of us ?
I think it's bc I've had success getting the babies to easily go down for naps in cribs for first naps of the day. He's home today and jumped to help, but my mom was here too so I told her to come up with me - reason being, on weekend he makes it a habit of holding AB while he naps - so now recently he's wanted to start putting him down but he wakes right up. AB (and AV) accept being put down drowsy/almost asleep on me or my mom's time bc they've learned they only get "x" help and then have to be put down so that you can pick the other one up and help her/him too. So they're just better at falling asleep with us. And I didn't want to screw up this early crib progress with a baby that opens its eyes every time it's placed down in the crib

So we finally got home from our week of travel. Highlights included a family reunion at the ocean with day drinking, a petting farm, nightly board games with H and my parents, and my favorite of my moms food (zucchini bread and her pasta sauce). Lowlights: a fight with my sister who has apparently become anti-vax, accidentally eating mayo with soy for 3 days and setting back the progress we had made with miss E, and then insulting my MIL when asking about H's father (whom we know nothing about).
I'm happy to be home now and I have a beer to decompress as we speak.

kleigh it sounds like maybe his pride of knowing what he's doing and being a good parent is getting in his own way. And you just want them to learn better sleep habits the easiest way possibile. You'll get on the same page eventually.

PW here, I had to note a weird MIL story. So she has a 2x4 that she started keeping track of O's height whenever we visit. So she pulls it out today and I'm like, "great! We can stand E up next to it and get her first measurements!" (For some reason I don't remember doing it at christmas or Easter to have mentioned E before. Maybe her and I were out of the room.) Anyway... MIL said, "no, I want to wait until Christmas when she can stand on her own". Wha?? Like, it's not a big deal, but I can't even come up with a reason why she was against someone just holding E's hand while she stood up. It was very weird.

hangry did she start measuring O after 12 months and want to keep it consistent or something? Is it just a plain 2×4 or something she had made (like painted and stuff) and is maybe planning on getting a separate one done for E?

Dinner came out great!! I went to 3 stores and couldn't get gyoza wrappers and had to use wanton wrappers which are thinner, but the pot stickers still came out great. Then I put too much vanilla in the whipped cream and over whipped it because kids are distracting, but it's cream and sugar, so it still tasted too. Everyone loved the Asian quinoa salad, even my dad who apparently doesn't like quinoa (I had no idea) but asked me for the recipe so he can make some for lunches!
My mom was annoying AF but that's typical, it was still a fun night.
I've got several Stella's in the fridge that I plan on chugging once I get these kids to bed.

Anyone else drinking tonight? I was. But J was cockblocking me (from drinking, not sex) so it really was a buzz kill. He woke up at 10 and couldn't be consoled by either DH or I. Took a good hour to get him down. Then he was up again at about 2. And here we are again at 4:45. 😴

So, it's raining. And windy. I'm over it. We've gotten like 7" so far. Basically every low water crossing is closed. And it's supposed to rain basically all week. Yay. tgrimes How's your family holding up? Hope they're all safe and your house is ok. Glad your dad is doing better and in rehab now. Here's what I'm seeing at my house. Hard to capture it in a picture. 1st pic: check out my sideways tree. 2nd, that pool has been emptied out 4 times. In the last one, the tree on the right isn't supposed to look like that. That's what the wind is doing to it.

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.
