I'm feeding the kids, packing a bag, waiting for DH to get home from his haircut, getting the kids ready, getting myself ready then we are heading to the lake. I have so much to bring for 2 kids so naturally I'm avoiding the packing part. It's cold and cloudy and won't be all that exciting at the lake like it normally is for Memorial Day weekend, but it will be nice to get out and get a change of scenery. This is how we always kick off summer even though it feels like fall.

We woke up at 6:30, fed C, played for a bit then he got tired again. We all took a nap now we're up again.

waitwhat remind me, is there other family there? In other words, are there helpers lol. I mean, a rainy day inside a lake house is always better than a day inside a home that needs chores done in. goldenlove What time does C normally get up? We are early risers here (like 4:45-5:30) so our naps also start really early. Both are down right now.

waitwhat I got tired just reading that.. It's a grey foggy day here so we will be spending it inside. C is at the ILs for the weekend though so I should get to relax a bit (aka have some quiet time when H naps). H was up apl night and then refused to go back to sleep after he nursed at 5am. DH got up with him at 6 and let me sleep until 9 (which was definitely needed!!!). H ate a little bit of breakfast for DH (hallelujah) which is why he wad able to let me sleep so long.

Hola chickies!!!
That's the extent of my Spanish, I took French in high school.
We just got back from a walk down the street to get iced coffees and breakfast sandwiches. The town's best places are about 500 feet from us (honestly I suck at measurement, could be more like 1000 feet).
We always joke, but it's really not a joke bc it's true, that the [our town] starter pack is a ham, egg, and cheese from [Best Breakfast Place], an iced coffee light and sweet from [Best Coffee Place], and a Jeep wrangler with the doors off and a doggy inside. This is 9 out of 10 people in or town.
They come out in full force during MDW.

So we got my dog a new bed a few months ago because her old one was gross. I felt bad because she loved that thing but we got her a nice memory foam one similar to what she had. She hates it and hasn't used it in months. I just put C in it to see what she would do. She walked over and stuck her head in my lap until I took C out of the bed and she immediately got in and laid down. I was dying! She's the most jealous thing in the world.

kleigh During the week I usually end up waking him up around 6. He used to sleep until 7/730 before I went back to work though. But now I think forcing him up during the week is causing him to wake up early on weekends too. He has always taken a nap about an hour after waking up. It's so weird that he'll sleep 12 hours then need a nap an hour later but I always used that time to make/eat breakfast in peace. It only lasts 45 minutes then he's up for the day. Also I'm jealous of your food options so close by!

MH has a bachelor party to attend tonight. I dislike the majority of people going and hope I don't get a call from jail tonight...
If my in laws are okay with me coming over with strep, I might take the kids over there to swim this afternoon.

I think after 24 hours of meds you aren't comtagiius anymore. Pretty sure that's strep?

kleigh yes my FIL lives here. So we have helpers and playmates 😜 Did you have date night last night? We did. And I'm very grateful except we have to work on logistics as H wants this to be a weekly thing with his parents except it's ALOTof work to get out the door and up there with all their stuff . I WFH on Fridays so I was also solo packing them up (much like you but at least it wasn't for days lol) - all the double clothing changes, bottles, solids, toys, teethers, etc and pack us all into the car plus load up their walkers etc and go pick up H from work(he left his car there bc work is on the way to his parents)... So I want to have a couple things at his parents house (toys, bottles, formulas) so all I have to do is get myself and the kids there. It was fun except we blew it hopping from restaurant to restaurant. We gave up our awesome bar seating to go to a place next door for dinner but got there and seated and decided we didn't like the ambiance or food options, tried to go back to the other place and suddenly there was a 40 min wait, went back to the other place and it was the same wait. We ended up at the Cheesecake Factory - which is fine for a chain but we wanted something more special.

I believe I'm good after 24 hours, which would be 6 pm tonight. Mh's grandparents are visiting so I don't know if I should be extra cautious. They're 89.

tgrimes Didn't realize it was 6pm 😑 I hope they're all comfortable with it. I'm sure it's hard with the kids in case they are exposed, I'm sure everyone is going to want to cuddle and kiss them and that's prob the bigger risk.

Yeah, I wasn't able to start taking the antibiotics until 6. I never know how long it will take to fill the prescription so I had it sent to the pharmacy by my house instead of doing the one by work.

Good morning ladies! Hope everyone is enjoying the first full day in the long weekend. tgrimes - boooooo. I hope you feel better soon. I agree with kleigh - kids are little incubators. You're probably fine (I'm guessing you aren't coughing/sneezing much if it's strep) but the kids have been exposed and could spread. waitwhat - holy cow that sounds busy. We were supposed to go to my parents cabin this weekend and I just could not wrap my head around all the steps needed to go. So kudos girl! You guys will have fun once you get there!! AFM - I'm going to a hotel either tonight or tomorrow night to get a full night of sleep for the first time since DS2 was born. King bed and a huge tub JUST FOR ME!!!!

Lolol kleigh we are just going up for the day. We usually go for a night but we have too much crap and it's a lot of work. We have to bring up pack and plays and an air mattress. It's exhausting. I'm glad you had a good date night. Cheesecake Factory is good! Just getting out of the house is nice.

A night alone sounds amazing annabegins - Enjoy!! Feel better tgrimes I'm enjoying a chill day at my parents. C is napping and A is having a blast playing with my parents. He helped my Dad plant a few things in the garden. I'm about to open a beer and go sit outside while it is nice out. We might have a fire later and we are having BBQ chicken on the charcoal grill later. I love WI in the summer!!

H just went out and mowed the lawn so we're gonna tag team and I'm gonna go out and pull weeds after lunch. I'm hoping to have things close to acceptable this weekend, but it's just so much. I am still determined to get the garden planted though! Now I need to decide what to plant. Last year was a giant experiment but we know a little better for this year.

danib does your weather ever get warm?! I feel like it's always cold! It depends on your definition lol. This week is 30s-40s. By mid June we will be expecting 50s-60s. July and August should be nice (70s-80s). But we also get big fluctuations due to the ocean currents (random hot/cold days).

Dh ran a 5k this morning and we're now having left over soup for lunch. Tonight we are going out for dinner on a date. Yay! No other plans except clean stuff more and read.
Also, my cat escaped yesterday. She's 15 and has been losing weight. I'm not sure she'll come back or be found.
