1. The big girls start school in five weeks, summer is going by so fast.
2. The heat has been awful the last few days.
3. Our niece spent the day with us on Monday, she doesn't listen/behave (no discipline at home) and I was so frustrated by the afternoon that I secretly took a swig from the wine bottle to calm my nerves.
4. Something is eating my onions from the bottom, I'm not going to have anything left to harvest if it keeps up.
5. I need to get a TB test done, have some moles checked, and go to the dentist but I've been procrastinating on all of it.
6. I need to get Owl's shots done and take her to the dentist too. Actually, both big girls need their dental checkups as well.
7. I really like The Fosters so far.
8. J has been looking at horses, I don't know if she is actually planning to buy one or if she is just dreaming. She showed me a beautiful Quarter Horse yesterday that would be ideal and now I'm curious what she is thinking.
9. I need to find a new Dr for the little girls, that should be fun.
2. I made a dental appt this morning. I thought I was waaaay overdue. Turns out I went in January and it is right at 6m. Go me.
3. These daily thunderstorms are reeking havoc on my head. I've had splitting headaches every day thanks to the pressure.
4. I have an event at work tonight, so I'll be here till 8pm. Phooey. The event doesn't start till 6...I wish I had brought my Kindle to read till the event.
5. I took the kids to Pei Wei last night with a BOGO coupon. And now I have a delicious lunch today. WHOO HOO! I am waiting to heat it up so it doesn't stink everyone out of the break room.
6. We still haven't planned a summer vacation. With our budget, I am not sure if we are going to. I could really use a change of scenery. I've been scouting all kinds of sites looking for cheap getaways.
7. They are doing construction where I work and it is SOOOO loud. SO loud. I can't even hear the music playing from my computer 6 inches in front of me.

1. I had this mostly typed out and my internet crashed.
2. I am signing refinance papers at 4pm today. Yay for a reduced payment!
3. I contacted my two SAHM neighbors yesterday to ask about the housecleaners they use. I think I'm going to do it. It is just too difficult to keep up with everything inside and outside by myself.
4. It's Pride weekend. Looking forward to celebrating marriage in WA and DOMA going down.
5. It's supposed to be hot (by Seattle standards) this weekend. Normally it rains for Pride.
6. A has the weekend off. Woot!
7. E has woken up and come into my room (for dreams or noises) several times over the past several weeks. Poor kiddo...and tired mommy.
8. I had a long convo with my parents last night about the latest goings on with E's dad. Sometimes I just don't bother talking to them about it, but I figured it's about time for them to hear what I'm dealing with.
9. I can't believe next week is the 4th, either. The past few months have flown by.
10. I need to get focused for the rest of the day.
1. Don't talk about summer flying by mine just started this afternoon.
2. I have never taught this late. It was horrible for all involved.
3. E got out of school 2 weeks ago so it has been a mush mosh of child care from friends and family. Poor girl is all messed up.
4. E started swim lessons today. She loved it even though it was chilly.
5. I am both nervous and excited about being a stay at home mom for the next 10 weeks.
6. I am going to be 40 this summer. How the hell am I this old!!!
7. Ella will be 4 in less than 2 weeks. Her kid party is sat. I am very excited since we are having it at a party place and I don't need to do anything accept pick up some snacks for the adults.
8. Oh an finish making Ella's birthday shirt and skirt.
9. My poor wife has been painting after work every night this week. Poor woman has hitting home after midnight every night this week.
10. I need to run some errands but Ella is refusing to leave the house. She is so exhausted.
1. How can you guys be talking about summer flying by already? This week is the last week of school here! 2. We went to a rally at Stonewall last night in honor of the Supreme Court and then got Big Gay Icecream for dinner. Yum. 3. Apparently I still can't file federal taxes as married, but in filling out a FAFSA I'm obligated to acknowledge the income of my wife. How is that fair?? 4. I hope the hot weather can stick around for the weekend. My sister and her family are coming to visit and want to have the first beach day of the summer. 5. There are signs all over my neighborhood about the fact that neither backpacks nor coolers will be allowed at viewing of the 4th of July fireworks. Obviously I understand why but it's still kind of a pain when it will likely be hot and we have to sit outside for several hours to get a good spot. 6. We looked at moving again and then again decided not to. Always the same cycle. 7. Our cats figured out how to knock over the food storage container we have for them, so they had quite the snack this week. We ordered a new fancier one. 8. We own way too much stuff. We're trying to get rid of some of it, but it's so hard to fight my hoarder tendencies. 9. We re-started our Netflix streaming account that we canceled ages ago. 10. Is it time for August vacation yet? My boss keeps encouraging me to take more vacation...while I appreciate that I work in an environment where using your vacation is encouraged, it's hard to hide that I've been hoarding vacation for a possible future maternity leave for 2 years now.

1. We are getting a new kitty on Sunday! I'm super excited. Still trying to decide what to name her. 2. Today was my work summer outing. I worked from home (barely) for about an hour and a half this morning, then met my officemates for mini golf, lunch, free booze and ice cream and was home by 4:30 pm. Not a bad day's work. 3. The heat finally broke. I'm relieved. 4. KITTY. 5. I'm crampy and tired. For the most part I have been feeling OK but today it's catching up with me a bit. 6. My psychiatrist does not think I need to worry about my meds causing miscarriages. Phew. 7. I'm skipping a good family friend's baby shower 4th of July weekend and I feel kind of crappy about it...but I feel more crappy about the idea of going. It's the weekend I would have been announcing my own pregnancy. So no. 8. KITTY. 9. A TV marathon sounds good right now. 10. So happy there is leftover pizza for dinner.

1. ssg73, I can't believe you guys just finished today. Seems so late!
2. ballandchain, I've been thinking of you a lot. Kitty!!!
3. Work has this way of always being crazy despite my best efforts. I'm thinking about trying to keep myself 20% uncommitted because I'm over-sold right now. But I've been leaving around 6 most days, which is a huge improvement.
4. My mom retired from teaching (6th grade) on Monday. She didn't want a party or anything. I got her a Kindle gift card.
5. We don't know what we're doing about TTC right now. The timing isn't great for C and we might wait a few months and switch to me, or wait another year.
6. Being on the ambivalent feelings about pregnancy and my reliably unreliable body.
7. I cannot WAIT for the weekend.
8. We don't have plans this weekend at all. I want to do something fun.
9. I love our little garden. We made some hilarious mistakes and some misplaced pole beans are trying to climb the bush beans.
