Still sick. Baby doesn't understand why I can't play with him and DH is getting burnt out and resentful of doing everything, but I'm just so scared of LO catching this stomach bug. I think he would end up in the hospital. I haven't eaten since Wednesday.

I woke up around 5:30 needing to go to the bathroom and couldn't fall back to sleep. So I put some laundry in and am enjoying the quiet house. I want coffee, but I have one of those refillable cups for iced coffee from Dunkin and that's all I want. Gotta wait til Lucy wakes up, since DH just came in from OT and is asleep already.
Still haven't figured out what I'm supposed to be doing this weekend, I really feel like I'm flaking on something though. We are going to Lowes when he gets up to figure out our window situation. We have five to replace by our first anniversary in the co-op. Luckily one of DH'S best friends used to install windows, so we just need to buy them and provide lunch. Score! We will also be able to redo the HORRIBLE bathroom floor with the savings-seriously, the tiles are coming up and I cross my fingers every time I clean it lol.
It's so nice already, I know lucys going to try to get me to take her to the playground across the street.
We have family in town for Addy's bday party tomorrow. They are staying at a hotel with a watermark so that is the plan for this evening. I am taking my MIL for a pedicure and lunch and I might run to the consignment sale half off day to look for some summer play clothes. I also want to stop at old navy to check out that $12 maxi advertised for today. I am making it busier than I want.
Why do my kids wake up and go straight to full speed?
We've got lots of yard work to do, DD has a birthday party to go to, and we need to drop off a load of donation stuff. I've got friends coming over tonight to watch the first three episodes of Outlander.
Started to explain moving to my nephew yesterday. I asked him if he knew what "moving" meant, and he told me "like Oh Oh Oh." Translation? He had just seen Home this weekend and they talked about moving in the movie.
So, he's a smarty. And he kind of sort of gets it. I think the saddest part of leaving is leaving him.
It poured cats and dogs in the night and is supposed to rain all weekend. I love it.
My sister's baby shower is this morning. I was nervous about if it would be difficult for me (selfish, I know) because if I hadn't lost the baby this fall, we would have due within two weeks of one another. No one knows I'm expecting again so I'm hoping they don't ask today. It should be fun and I'm thankful I'm not feeling sad about it. I want to celebrate my new niece. ☺️
My other sister called and said my nephew (5) wanted me to go with their family to movies this afternoon, so we are. They live OOT, so we are all meeting for Home at four. I am excited to see everyone today.
We are headed to the zoo. We have a membership and it's not crowded when it opens so DS can run all over. The last time we went was in October. He's grown and developed so much since then, I think it's going to be a whole different visit. He was still just saying occasional words and lots of nonsense sounds and now he's speaking in sentences.
Ew. I just saw there's a neo-nazi rally downtown today. it looks like there are also a bunch of "peace day" events planned in response. From what I read, it looks like police have a decent plan. I hope there isn't any violence today.
Im heading out for a nice long run this morning, then we're going the park today with our neighbors. They have really good burgers and shakes there so we're going to lay out a blanket and eat and maybe fly our kite. I'm excited. Then we need to pick Ollie up some running shoes and shorts for his first running club race tomorrow!
I'm getting my hair done, I should be done pretty soon. I'm going to run a few errands and then we are going to attempt putting the trampoline my mom got Jax for Christmas together. I have a feeling we will be calling other people for reinforcements.
I'm guessing we will cook out tonight, it's so gorgeous here today.
The shower repair project that will.not.end might get one step closer to completion today. So before the plumber gets here to take care of it, I need to shower and tidy up a bit. Once he's here and settled in I'm going to take the boys to the park and Barnes and Noble. Unless there are delays, H should be getting home from his work trip around dinnertime, so that's exciting.
In less exciting developments, you might remember that I was raging last night because I thought he had bought a brand new $1200 laptop without clearing the purchase with me. He didn't. I didn't. This thing was billed to our credit card, showed up on our doorstep, and neither of us can figure out how. My guess is the world's least intelligent credit card number thieves who managed to hit the "Use billing address as shipping address" button. So now we also need to cancel that card, check out credit reports again, and return this stupid thing to Costco to get our money back.

Heading to a BF class in a little bit. H promised to cook me breakfast. I can't wait to see what he throws together. I am starving and could eat the whole kitchen.
I have to do a bit of calling around to order topsoil and sod for our yard. We basically have to start from scratch thanks to the dogs, and we just put grass down last spring. Ugh.
Then we're going to my mom's house for a visit, and then the garden centre by her place. I want to see if they have roses out yet and I promised sofia we would pick out a few things for her fairy garden because the dog chewed up the house she made. Fucker.
I'm starting to think wine just doesn't agree with me anymore. Every single time I drink it, I end up sleeping like shit and with a huge headache the next day, no matter what kind of wine I drink.

I'm going to a baby shower today for one of my college friends. I haven't seen her in a while, so I'm really looking forward to giving her a big hug. I am not looking forward to all the other people I'm going to see at the party asking me why I don't have any babies yet. And then the looks I will get when I say it's because I choose to not have babies. At least there will be wine!
Slept til 9! Wahooooo Feeling assy tho this morning as the food we had at out friends was good but not healthy at all. Ugh Laying around a bit now, watching dvr shows, soon to clean a bit, lesson plans and errands Hockey later

I get like this with wine too. Night sweats, assy sleeping, headaches etc. it's terrible. :-( I had wine last night and feel shitty now. Only one glass too ugh
H and I are both up bright and early this morning so we can get lots of stuff done.
H is:
Going to lowes
fixing toilets
putting together a bookshelf
helping me hang pictures
... oh the joys of homeownership.
Then we have a birthday party for a friend to attend. I'm trying hard to be excited about it but another friend who is attending is 9 weeks pregnant (H and I have been TTC unsuccessfully for 9 months) and the dessert has rum in it which I can't have because of my epilepsy. But don't worry, once we found out other friend is pregnant quick fast they got on making a dessert option without alcohol. Because obviously the pregnant friend is way more important than my medical condition I've lived with for 17 years so they all know about it. I'm probably blowing things out of proportion because I'm feeling rather emotional about the whole situation.
