R: my lo is jumping in her crib rather than sleeping. Like really jumping. Do I need to worry about her catapulting herself out? :/ Aw: I'm making down pasta dish with beef in it tonight but I can't remember the name so I'm totally guessing. This is aw bc I'm not cooking chicken V: I can't decide if I'm feeling nice enough and well enough to drop $ on a hotel for the weekend to see my husbands triathlon and hang with my ils. Part of me is worried he'll get a super crappy night sleep beforehand, part of me just doesn't want to do the drive, but I feel guilty bc fil is sick and we don't visit often plus I know dh would like to spend sometime with the girls. Staying home seems selfish but I'm torn and it sounds exhausting.

AW: Leaving in 4 hours to go see Andy Grammer at the Salem waterfront. I am so excited. Both for the show, because I am pretty sure it is going to be awesome, but also to have a legitimate date with DH that is longer than just a quick bite to eat and does not involve any sort of professional/community involvement event. And DH is even leaving work early so we can do this - a very rare occurrence.
V: I planted new lavender plants next to our patio, and I think I already killed one. Boo.
dizzycooks - You should go! I know it sounds stressful, and maybe it will be, but I assume he's been training pretty hard for this? He'd probably love having you and your kiddos there to cheer him along and hug him (quickly, because, gross and sweaty) at the end. Plus cable and air conditioning at the hotel, right? That sells me every time, but we don't have either at home.

I'd go. Primarily because it's a different environment with other adults and being home another day alone with them sounds exhausting to me. I am probably selfish because I'll go anywhere that involves someone else able to help me wrangle.
Part of the problem is there aren't other adults. His parents are useless and his dad will have him busy shooting half the weekend and then we spend the other half sitting in their living room. It's boring as hell for me and the kids and dh knows it. I do want to support him though. Perhaps we will go and I'll just stay away with the kiddos and insist they take their naps (rarely does that happen up there which makes it especially fun by bedtime). Id rather be alone with the kids and at least have our routine. Sigh....I'll probably go anyway.
R- They prescribed a vest for DS2 to help work up the junk in his lungs. It is hysterical because it reminds me of the on the old fashioned "fat jiggler" machines for weight loss. He thinks it is funny too and laughs the entire 20 minute session.
AW- I finished my to do list today! Granted it was a bunch of phone calls but I still feel accomplished. Now I need to go pick up the mess the boys made while I made said phone calls.
V- I am working on getting DS2's nursing setup and get him enrolled in the school system before his 3rd birthday next month and it is such a pain. He gets these services because of his illnesses and equipment but they want me to load up and come to their germy facilities. I wouldn't need home services of it was NBD to come to you. Also, I need more then a week notice to schedule an appointment.

Oh yea that sounds miserable. I was thinking hotel, pool, in laws come visit yall. I get not going to sleep in a hotel and just hang at the in laws house with just me and the kids.

R- sausages for dinner on the grill! Aw- DH has the week off so we've been having a lot of fun going out for ice cream, visiting new playgrounds and going to the beach tomorrow. V- my oldest has swimming lessons but he won't get in the freaking water! It's only a 30 min lesson and he just puts his foot in, jumps back out, and is basically uncooperative. Also, we went to visit a friend today and their dog licked ds2 in the foot. "The dog licked my foot! I scared. I want to go home!" Cue ten minute screaming tantrum. Ugh.
R- I found out the gym by me has child care! I signed up for a trial membership today. Hopefully, DD doesn't freak out when I leave her in there!
AW- DD has been super sweet giving hugs and kisses to us lately. And she knows how to push the buttons in the elevator now. She's becoming a little person
V- DH been talking about quitting his job and starting his own business off and on for several years. He brought it up again tonight. I'm not a big risk taker and it really stresses me out that he wants to do this. And now I'm irrationally irritated with him for even bringing it up.
That doesn't sound fun, Dizzy, but it's hard not to support him either.
Pretty much all 3 rolled into one:
I have a new niece; DH's sister had her 2nd baby today. It was touch and go for a bit - at 10cm her water broke & the cord prolapsed. They rushed her into a c section and they're both okay. My MIL called me right after they took her out, completely a wreck, it was a pretty traumatic hour for all of them. Oh, except my BIL who wasn't even there until the surgery was over. I still don't know the whole story on that but he's a tool anyway. BUT! Healthy baby & mom, and she's adorable & squishy.

Aw: I'm working on a big project and I'm really excited. It is going to be an outdoor playset for dd, and it is going really smoothly. I can't wait to finish it.
Random/aw2: dh brought our bed down to the garage so I could sand and stain it. DD started crying and was really upset about "where mommy sleep?" Lol, she is really cute.
R: I am now convinced the city of ABQ is populated by a bunch of overly cautious sissies. Those assholes interrupted the show I was watching twice in 5 minutes to tell me about a storm that MIGHT hit ABQ but ended up missing them entirely. We had a legit tornado touch down in town and barely got a blurb, but they have been talking about 2 inches of rain in ABQ for THREE DAYS. Dafuq?
AW: getting new Internet on Friday!
V: finally got my last wisdom teeth removed yesterday. It kind of sucks.
I have a follow up. The Andy Grammer concert was fantastic. But this was the conversation DH and I had on the way down, when some random song came on the radio:
DH: "Hey! It's Anthony Gardner!" Me: "Who??" DH: "Anthony Gardner. That guy you really like that we're going to go see. It's him!" Me: Slow blink of confusion. "Andy Grammer? His name is Andy Grammer, and nope. That's not him."
I did appreciate his excitement for me, though, especially since he apparently had no idea who he had agreed to see. He had fun, though, and appears to be a fan now. :-)
R: I was up all night binge reading. Good thing dd is going to preschool today! Aw: We got an offer on our house! The day before it even went on the market. Someone from the realtors office made us a full price offer. No open houses and no impromptu showings! Woohoo! V: Now the scramble begins to find another house. It's exciting and nerve wracking.
R/AW/V: I go back to work in 18 days. I have 2 weeks of inservice before the kids start school. How did summer go by so quickly? I hate that we start so early. I am excited and nervous to be teaching again but why does it have to start so soon??
AW: DD has been going to cheer camp this week to prepare for cheerleading. She was picked to be at the top of stunts. She is so excited and loving it. I'm not overly excited that she wants to cheer but she loves it.
V: My cycles are killing me. They have been bad since I had kids but are getting worse. This one has been horrible.
