We survived dinner with FIL and SMIL last night. SMIL only tried to get me to talk smack about family members (SILs this time) or otherwise tried to start shit twice, and while I wasn't able to get in a women's lib comment I did get to shut down her "are you EVER going to stay home with AJ?" comment. Plus the kid had fun. So I'm calling it a success.
My cousin recently got into selling Pamp.ered.Chef, and is now singing the praises of Th.ri.ve....it's only a matter of time before she starts selling that stuff too. She's definitely in BEC territory with me but holy hell it's annoying.

We are running some errands this morning. Then going to to the splash pad, followed by lunch and hopfully a nice long nap (for both DS and me)
Im dreading going back to work tomorrow after this nice long weekend.
Hope all the fever kids feel better. Last year on the 4th DS had a high fever and we ended up at the emergency room. What is it about the 4th and fevers?!
I'm a zombie this morning. Dh got up at 4:30 and I finally fell back asleep just as the girls came in. I have all of these 'brilliant' thoughts in the middle of the night and last night's was that instead of getting back into shape I should just get pregnant. So now I'm suddenly wanting a newborn. Too bad it would be the worst timing ever.
my SIL lent me her 21 day fix DVDs so now I can try it out and see how I like it. I have high expectations lol so now I'm trying to sort of downplay them in my head.
Do you know if the workouts require more than body weight? I still have a few weeks before I'm cleared for exercise but I want to start researching a plan to become less disgusting lol.
We are all struggling this morning. DS1 is normally chill when we say bye and leave for work but this morning he is crying and tugging at us as we get ready. I hate it. We don't want to go either buddy, trust me!
E was up earlier than normal. I think bc she went to bed late from pictures.
Beach this am before the scattered storms are supposed to hit. Then hitting up the outlets with my mom and sis during nap time.
Apparently I enjoy chaos, hahahaha. Parents buying beach house, us getting our house on the market, and trying to build a house. No no no. I'm going to be completely stressed out. I told DH and my dad I will need kid gloves during this time.
I am back at work and kind of feel like I'm on vacation!
The baby had some kind of developmental explosion this weekend and no longer seems like a baby baby, if that makes sense. He "talks" to us now instead of crying/grunting/etc. to show he needs things. The inflection is crazy. It seriously sounds like a real conversation the way he changes his tones. It's so funny. He is picking everything up and exploring it, and he's scooting around like crazy on his back.
He is also no longer STTN, but it was nice while it lasted!
Gave notice at DCP today. I was practically in tears and she was like "ok, whatever" LOL. That's just her personality type. I like to imagine that inside she is distraught.
DS was up twice last night - 9 pm and midnight. Both times just wide awake. At midnight he would fall asleep on me but wake and cry when I laid him down. I didn't want to CIO in fear he'd wake DD so I gave him an A&A blanket to snuggle and he passed out. I let him have one for naps but didn't want to overnight. It might be our backup though. I have a small security blanket but he doesn't show much interest in it. I think the issue is they take 2 really good naps during the day so have trouble with night sleep now. I need to start waking them at 4 pm instead of 430 and then hopefully they sleep better at night. I'm scared evenings will suck though.
I'm so irritated with the library. EVERY GD THING THEY DO for kids is M-F during working hours. I'm not asking for a fancy long Saturday program or anything, just someone to sit down and read a story on a weekend day FFS.
I commented that some weekend programming would be nice after they posted on FB another monthly schedule with nothing working-parent friendly. Then this morning, another weekly schedule came out with nothing. I don't expect changes overnight or anything but I'm irritated.
3 MOTNS here. It's like we're NBs again around here. These might be teething MOTNs though. I think I see two little white dots where a molar will be on the upper.

Ours does this too.
AND, they have the weirdest schedule rotation. Like, there will be one program per month. So if you want to do lap sit story time for 6-23 months, it's only offered in February and July. WTF?
I decided not to take my vacation day today in hopes that we can take a long weekend up north in August. Because a week after coming home from vacation, N still asks "can we go back to the condo today?" every single day.
DH & I got into... not even a disagreement, or an argument, idk what to call it, but he was a jerk and went and slept on the couch. We both got less sleep than we wanted, yet somehow it's always me that gets N up (or gets up with him) and gets him ready. And takes him to DC. DH is, of course, still sleeping on the couch and isn't going into work until noon apparently. Men are such babies.
My kid is pretending to poop scoop. Not sure if that's cute or disgusting. I mean she sees DH and I do it in the backyard so it makes sense. Ahh life with dogs.
chickens987 did I miss something. Are you pulling her out of Daycare?
spk926 just think how amazing it will be when they can actually do it in real life. #BIGdogowner.
So evidently one of M's games on the Ipad has a recording function. Ask me how I know. Because it played back me mumbling under my breath what an ass H was being while he was playing with it and H was sitting right there. I may have also used some choice words to describe my current state of mind about H. That went over well with H.

She got into the y preschool by our house. It's more convenient (opens at 7, is much closer) and will be cheaper. I'm anxious about it but hopeful she will do ok with the change (doesn't start until 8/31).
