The plans for the rest of the day involve laundry, putting the fixtures back up in the bathroom I painted last weekend, putting all of the stuff back in the guest closet and patching the hole in the ceiling that our plumber had to cut while fixing the master shower last week, and having brunch with one of my BFFs. While I'm gone I think H is going to the grocery store, but if not we'll do it in the late afternoon. I'd like to check out the outlet mall since some new stores have opened up recently, but after I was gone all day yesterday I feel bad leaving H to solo parent for longer than necessary today.
Laundry is the main thing, I think. DH just left for a business trip, and normally he does all the folding, so I am going to miss him more than usual. Plus that means I have to take the girls with me for grocery shopping and any other errands I run.
I'm partway through purging our basement closet and figuring out what we're going to put out in the neighborhood garage sale in June and what we're going to donate or trash. Hope to make some progress on that as well.
It's Ds2's birthday today, but due to our renovation, we are all still living in the basement. We celebrated with my fam two weeks ago, so not much of a party going on here. He's only 2, so I'm not feeling terribly guilty that our day will consist of the gym (and two free hours of gym daycare, thank God), groceries, and laundry. We'll go out to lunch later and get cupcakes, and then we'll let him choose a movie.
I watched Boyhood last night and it was fantastic. I did not expect to love it that much. It didn't really make me feel teary, although I thought it showed the relationships so well. I just felt like it was so real. The kids had stringy hair and greasy faces. Patricia Arquette has a bit of a gut and they didn't try to hide that. They didn't made the dad into some cool dude lay about. He had depth and substance. They didn't make the mom into either a loser or some heroine. She was so real. All around just so well done. I loved how they signaled a transition of years by playing a popular song.
Skipping church to rest a bit before lunch at Ruby's and then Marvel Super Heroes live. We watched a special on it last night and it looks like so much fun! I may be as excited as my son to go!

I have been puked on twice so far today. DD has been throwing up all morning. This is new territory for me. At least we made it 22 months puke free. Poor baby keeps asking for milk but her tummy can't handle it.
I just made 3 dozen cupcakes and 4 batches of vanilla buttercream. Planning on relaxing and not doing much else the rest of the day! Hope it's resolved quickly, Squirrelly.
Sofia's having a sensitive day today. Lol. Lord help me. She has been tearing up and weeping over every little thing. No, she doesn't want the pink monkey spoon. She wants the plain light pink spoon. I walked into the bathroom where she was playing with her dolls on the floor, I asked what she was up to and she goes "Mommm (starting to tear up and tremble in her voice), I'm brushing barbie's hair". Oookay... As I slowly back out of the bathroom. I thought I had 10 years to go before I have to deal with a weepy teenager. Lol.
I managed to fuck up my shoulder while doing yard work yesterday. I don't know what I did, but it hurts.
We are headed to my niece's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese in a bit. Then I'm hoping to put ds down for his nap when we get home. I'll clean bathrooms and fold the last of the laundry while he sleeps.
I'm having a relaxing morning at home so far. I'm rewatching my DVR'd Outlander episodes in preparation for the second half of season 1 this coming weekend. I also have a long list of household chores to do, so I'll likely start on those this week while my H is oot.

Feeling a lot better than expected after my field hockey dinner dance (lots of prosecco & a few bourbon shots). We went to a few kitchen/bathroom shops and got two appointments for Wednesday for people to come measure and do a quote at my MIL's house. The house is definitely stuck in the 70s so this will be so helpful!
I've got grocery shopping to do today but my uncle texted me asking if he and his wife can come meet the baby. He said he'd be here 'shortly after lunch', it's now almost 130pm. He better get here soon and not stay long. His wife ALWAYS has unsolicited advice to give and I could give a rats ass. When DS was born she harped because I was formula feeding. Fuck off!
Squirrely, I hope you soon get some peace and normalcy. You've had a roller coaster year.
I did some yoga this morning, may do some laundry this afternoon. We took in a gerbil on Friday from some people that were moving (I now have five rescued animals in my house, plus three fish) so I have to go get a few more supplies. Thought I had more bedding but the bag was almost empty, and I broke the wheel that came with the cage, so have to get a new one. He's cute and playful. We got our hamster last year, and she has never been very friendly, so it's been fun having a small pet that enjoys people. He destroyed the toys I got him within five minutes so will have to find some more sturdy. My H just shook his head when he saw a new animal and asked if we should become a zoo.
My Lucy girl has skin cancer and her skin flakes off. It's also itchy so if she rubs on the carpet she can hurt herself. We got her a hoodie, the only one big enough is star wars. She's been wearing it a few weeks when she's out of the kitchen and her skin looks much better but I don't want her to go without it. She looks cute in her hoodie.

I just loved it.
It was my favorite movie last year. I don't understand the people who called it boring. I thought it was so sweet, maybe not exciting, but a real story about life.
Dude I was seeing got weird and don't think I'll be seeing him again. Friday he says he feels himself pulling away because his strong feelings are scaring him. Last night he huffs when I tell him something he said bothered me and he completely shut down. I told him I really like him but I can't chase and reassure him every time he's feeling insecure. And it's been like...maybe a month? Nope. Too much drama too soon but I did really like him. #next
It's been a lazy weekend for DS and me since H is working and pretty much all of my fam and friends are busy this weekend - I feel like when spring begins everyone is busy for the first couple of weeks. DS went down for a nap about an hour ago and I had all intentions of taking a nap too since we were up late and up early, but I was flipping through the channels and found A League of Their Own is on and then I got sucked into the movie and into the thread from last week or so.

We made a huge dent in spring cleaning and got a ton of things done; I don't know if I have ever seen my H so productive over the course of one weekend, lol. He has been so amazing with helping to pick up the slack and accommodating me since I've been pregnant. After a really stressful week at work I am ending the weekend feeling much more content and refreshed.
