I'm going to be hobbling around work again today. My foot still hurts like hell, but we're having a sale, so I can't really call in. I'm just hoping I can convince my manager to let me sit at the register or do orders. I don't thunk I can stand for long periods.
My MIL is coming in town next week, and I am so excited. She's already talking about H and I having date nights, and I may get my first baby free night in over 19 months! Just thinking about is making me giddy.
I keep tearing up thinking about leaving. I've cried real tears twice this weekend. OMG. I'm not a crier, I don't know what's going on. It's only a few weeks. I feel ridiculous. Someone slap some sense into me!

We're getting a slow start to the day...1st day of school tomorrow so after this there's no more lazy pajama mornings and the kids are holding onto this last one with both hands. Later I guess we'll choose a faucet for our last-minute, unplanned bathroom remodel, possibly look for a bike for me, and maybe do a few things around the house.
I'm trying to motivate myself to get dressed and drag the kids to the grocery store. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I need stuff for lunches.
There is a family reunion this afternoon for my husbands family. H wants to go if the weather holds out. He doesn't know this yet, but I want to send him with the kids while I stay home and organize myself for the school year.
We're heading to the beach shortly. I hope we're still early enough to avoid massive crowds. Afterward we'll probably get some quick lunch, then head home for a nap. I'll try to get some work done, then we'll go to H's grandmother's for a Labor Day dinner.

Having MIL and SIL over for breakfast. Roping H into doing a few projects for me in my classroom. Spending the rest of the day on the phone with Microsoft hoping they will fix my black screen:(
I'm working a couple hours this morning. Later we might be going to the fair, or the beach. My big toe hurts so bad. I really think I might lose the toenail
We wanted to go to the pool today, but V woke up with a fever and is congested. So I guess we'll be staying in. H just ran to the store to pick up ribs for dinner tonight, though!

Emily and I slept in and are hanging out in our jammies for awhile. H is at work and will be home at 3pm, then we're heading to my moms.
My brother is at college and Em is going to be super disappointed her "Uncle B" is not at home. I know the first thing she's going to do when she gets there is run and and call "BBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"! It's so cute and will be so sad
Cleaning Garage Making another batch of beef jerky Trying to complete C25k week 2 day 2 but is is humid as a swamp here today and I don't do well with the humidity. Finishing up sealing a leak in the basement Maybe hitting Target to make a return And if I am really really motivated, sanding the trim in the bedroom so I can caulk and paint later this week.
we are going to the world's most difficult picnic. h's friend invited just us and our kids over. he and his wife are on the brink of separation. they have been having giant trouble for months and he just found out that she's cheating on him. they have been in therapy longer than we have known them.
also, i'm in charge of dessert. gluten-free, dairy-free dessert.
yep. should be fun.
Any idea what you want to make, I have some recipes, I have a gluten allergy, so I've gotten good at gf baking and you could sub milk for coconut milk easily.
On weekend mornings we alternate getting up with DS. I got this morning because DH got memorial day. Plus he's been a lazy ass all weekend. DS is wheezy right now so in the mornings I feed him breakfast, give him his singulair pill, breathing treatment, brush teeth and then take him to the park (he is a jerk if he doesn't burn the energy off). On Saturday morning when DH got up with him he did nothing. Just plopped him in front of the TV so when I woke up I had to do all of it. I was pissed.
I left a checklist last night and right now they are gone so I think DH did it all. I'm laying in bed enjoying my mini vacation.

Very happy to hear you are feeling better.
I am still in bed. L is still asleep. H is at work for the morning. Should be a lazy day around here after an action packed weekend. Will probably go to target and grocery store at some point.

Going to my parents' today to hopefully swim and grab some things we have in storage there. I would like to hang some blinds in Lucy's room and our kitchen as well. And get a new set for the bathroom bc they broke. Well. I broken them. Whatev.
Brunch, a bit of walking around and then I fly home this evening. I'm sad my vacation is nearly over, but it will be a relief to get away from the Florida humidity.

I'm still in bed while the girls watch TV and H plays video games in the basement. Lucy just came up to me with a Silly Putty snake that looks like a dick.
I need to get organized today - I'm back to work tomorrow so I need to get lunches ready for myself and the big second grader. Sob.
Molly has a haircut at 5 and then I promise her back to school froyo tonight.
It was supposed to storm all day, but now they've pushed that back yay! So hopefully H and I can get out for a hike this morning. Then I want to do some shopping with all the Labor Day sales going on.
I need to do some lesson planning while H is at the grocery store with the boys. He keeps saying he wants to go to a wine festival today, but it's going to be nearly 100 degrees outside and there's no good shade at the fairgrounds where the festival is happening.
*grumps*
At some point I should probably also clean the upstairs bathrooms, vacuum, and finish laundry.
I need today to recover from this weekend. We had a lot of fun with friends, a lot of drinks and junk food. My plan for today is to sit around and do a bunch of nothing, maybe work a little bit of overtime. This is our last day off until November with school starting tomorrow and all of the sports and activities the kids are involved in.
