A fall weekend

[hangry]

Hey N16!
Are you guys all having crazy summer weather? We went to a splash pad this morning and an impromptu BBQ with the parents of some of O's friends. So it's been a fun surprise day.

Except now we are paying for it. E has napped about 30 minutes today. Total. And we are now just pushing through til bedtime.
And O fell asleep 2 hours later than normal last night. And skipped his nap today.

Both kids are unpleasantly overtired. Counting the minutes til bedtime over here.

goldenlove, L had a runny nose this week too. But it has seemed to stop now that he's gotten 2 good nights of sleep it seems to have gone away!?! Maybe sleep is needed! FX it's only needed sleep!

[dashook]

vino it's good to "see" you and I'm sorry to hear about B's DC situation!
sophiegrace have so much fun!!

[Cheshie6]

hangry , yes we are! It's gorgeous and I'm loving it but I'm ready for Hygge (hoo-ga) living with cozy sweaters, super warm socks, warm drinks, candles, fireplaces (I don't have one)

I'm sure the sleep helps!!

It's 92 degrees out today. Too hot. I'm not leaving the house today. And C has only taken one nap this morning. He screamed for 10 minutes for his afternoon attempt. Now he's yawning and so tired but it's too late. He has not stopped all day. His new favorite game is "I'm sneaking off to the stairs- come get me!"

It's been unusually hot here as well. We had like 1 day of cool weather and it's been back to 70+. Like we often have snow on Halloween, so this is kind of insane.

[waitwhat]

It's 90 degrees here. We are finally getting some relief come Thursday where it will be 65. I'm hoping it will stick.

Add us to the overtired club. J took a great morning nap but his afternoon nap was maybe 20 minutes. And B took maybe an hour.

And it's college football Saturday so my DH has been completely useless.

I've been drinking since 3:30.

[dashook]

Home from the party. +1 to the hot weather. It was an Oktoberfest party but we didn't even need jackets when the sun went down. My hair, which I had meticulously blow-dried earlier, still frizzed up because I was sweating the whole time while wearing D.

CP is still cute. He grew a beard which isn't adorable but still. Sigh/swoon.

There was some random weirdness last month over text that I didn't tell you guys about but LSS, MH no longer likes CP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So it was a lot of me listening to snarky comments from H while trying to drink enough to make up for being heavily pregnant at this same party last year. Fun fun. Now that we're home the beer is still flowing, believe me.

[waitwhat]

Hi. I'm sorta drunk.

My H and I had a really good and much needed talk tonight. We got a lot of stuff off our chests. A lot of tears were shed but a lot of smiles were had so I'm calling it a success.

[danib]

dashook like inappropriate weirdness?

waitwhat glad you guys were able to talk.

[danib]

So H has been up for 2 hours now (it's 12:40 here) tossing and turning and fussing and unable to get back to sleep. He wasn't trying to play or anything so I thought he maybe had gas. Well after an hour of trying everything to get him to sleep I finally checked his temperature. 38.4. Hopefully it's nothing major.

I didn't think it was inappropriate but H felt differently. I think everything is okay now.

I hope H sleeps well for you tonight!

Something happened over text with YH & CP?

[tgrimes]

danib I hope it's nothing serious.

[tgrimes]

I was at Nutcracker auditions all day and will be back to the studio tomorrow for orientations & registration, so this doesn't feel like much of a weekend.

I'm glad y'all had a good talk waitwhat.

[vino]

I hope H sleeps better the rest of the night danib. Poor guy

waitwhat Glad that you had a good talk, it's nice sometimes to get everything out there.

No, a text convo between CP and me that I told MH about and he thought was weird. Again, I didn't think it was weird. And neither did my coworker who knows CP and his sense of humor.

[sophiegrace]

I hope he's ok danib. All these sicknesses just need to stop already. I hope you're both able to get some sleep tonight.

Glad for the good talk waitwhat! If it's one that makes any progress at all I'm usually crying too. I wish I knew how not to.

That sounds so amazing to me tgrimes. I can't imagine how much work it is to put together though. What's the age group doing the show? I wanted to be a ballerina so badly as a child so when I was four my mom signed me up. All the other little girls were from a different school and didn't talk to me so i pretended that I hurt my ankle so that I wouldn't have to go back. It may have been a bit dramatic. And probably for the best since my coordination and grace are at negative levels. Anyway...I think your past and continued work in dancing is fascinating.

[sophiegrace]

I ate many pounds of crab meat and drank just enough. It was so much fun and M really came out of her shell. She laughed and smiled the entire time we were there. The over stimulation resulted in it taking two hours to put her down for bed, but now that she's asleep I can say it was worth it.

Repeat for some of you but I can't get enough of her cheesin'

[sophiegrace]

It's 12:35 and I'm wide awake. Why? Lame.

[sophiegrace]

dashook I hope everyone can be friends again soon. Texts are kind of stinkers sometimes when you're not completely in tune with someone.

[tallb]

vino I'm so glad you are back. I keep forgetting to comment on the situation and I am so angry that they didn't contact you and were shady. I can't remember if this is private or w public school (also not sure about rules in Canada), but I'm almost tempted for you to report them to licensing. Any sort of scratch, bump, etc results in a paper write-up if not a call midday to warn us. I hope the mean kid gets some help, bc that is not fair to the class. Im glad he's on the mend though.

Also hope your h feels better for your sanity's sake. Mine has the cold that N had, and that I have. He acts like he's dying, but then is up for beers after bedtime 🤔. Oh.kay. I meanwhile went to bed at 9:30, bc I am actually sick and would like to get better.

[waitwhat]

sophiegrace I love that pic. She's thrilled to have that piece of corn. And the crabs look amazing btw.

[goldenlove]

Ok so C still has his running nose. Still no fever and acting normal now (he was whining and rolling over a lot over night but still slept decent). We're supposed to have a family gathering with H's family, his aunt and uncle from out of town who haven't met C and a lot of other people we haven't seen since Christmas time. Should we still go? Maybe I just don't let people hold him?

[tjanca22]

Morning! Still hot here so I think we're going to go to the pool after church today. We will prob grill something for dinner tonight again.

goldenlove I'd still go. Maybe just bring the carrier if you feel more comfortable, but if it's just his nose and no other symptoms then he shouldn't be contagious at this point.

[waitwhat]

goldenlove I'd still go. I hope the runny nose starts to clear up!

[vino]

goldenlove I'd still go for sure

[goldenlove]

Thank you! That's what I was hoping to hear 😃

[tgrimes]

goldenlove +3 to still going
