R: my wallet is pleasantly surprised by my thoughts on the prime day shopping. I bought dog and gerbil food.
Aw: dd re qualified for speech this fall! I am so happy she gets to continue going.
V: I'm still puking and right now I just want to sit down with my bag of oyster crackers and it was like vultures descending on me. "I want some I want some!". Seriously, they're plain crackers I want to nibble them on the floor in peace.

Out of order:

AW/V: DS dozed off in my arms about 1.5 hrs ago, so I've been enjoying some rare me time this afternoon. Unfortunately, it means he'll be up super late, so DH and I won't get any "us" time tonight.

R: We're taking DS (tent) camping for the first time this weekend - hold me.

[mamaalysson]

R: So camping is a thing that kid's enjoy, huh? Damn. Guess we should probably take them at some point. Can we just pitch a tent in the backyard (or, you know, maybe the living room) and call it good?

AW: DD started a camp with the children's theater company this week, and the kid is seriously in heaven. She is so excited to go every day, and is just blissed out when I pick her up. I'm so glad I thought ahead to sign her up for next week too. And - shameless brag coming - when I picked her up today, her teacher told me that she's "a real natural, and I rarely say that about the preschoolers". I mean, it's pretty undeniable that she has always had a dramatic side to her, but it was nice to hear.

V: A really sweet potential job opportunity has come up, but it is just not the right time. I feel pretty at peace with passing it up, but I've still been wrestling with it. Right job, wrong time. It kind of stinks.

R: I have watched a million episodes of Gossip Girl today.

AW: I leave for St. Louis tomorrow, and I have reserved seats to the opening general assembly and closing assemblies, where the speakers are Shaq and OCtavia Spencer.

V: I have no money to spend in StL because I still don't have my money back from my bank.

[jnksmom]

R: I am craving McDonalds or Wendy's fries.
V: today sucks...see post below about H's affair
AW: My stomach has been so sick since last night. My kids think I have a stomach virus and have been super sweet today. They are both taking care of me and have played well together.

R: Between DD1's one-liner observations and DD2's complete butchering of the English language, I have been in stitches all week. Sure DD2, mommy would love to get you some cockamole to go with your chips!

AW: DH's company has a big gala coming up and I am so excited to go! They do not have every year and the last time they had the event, DD2 was 4 months old and refusing to take a bottle. So I had to stay home and DH went because being in management he had to. I have a beautiful formal dress and cannot wait to get dressed up and have fun!

V: I wish laundry did itself. Between DD1 being in soccer camp all week and the dog going crazy in the yard and getting super dirty while my MIL was watching DD2 and then jumping on our light colored sofa (luckily slipcovered, but a pain in the ass to deal with), I am over being in the laundry room.

Yes.  This is a very non-Oregonian response though.  I might get kicked out of the state.

I'll go with you. Bonus - we'd be away from certain death from the apparently imminent WORST EARTHQUAKE IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING.

Vent #2: Stupid New Yorker article all over Facebook about the giant earthquake dooming us in the PNW. I never should have read it. I'm now terrified.

We should get out while the gettins' good.  I'll never get to see you again because apparently every bridge is doomed.  Which reminds me, I need to make an earthquake kit like yesterday....

Apparently you can buy them on Amazon...they are not on sale. I checked.
