I feel like pooh. I caught a summer cold from the kids. I was in bed most of yesterday and completely useless. Poor h was busting his butt all weekend - changing brake pads in my SUV, buying and spreading more mulch, unclogging our bathtub drain, then our basement flooded under our washing machine again. Ugh. It is always something.
DS has football camp every evening this week. It's supposed to be 90* today, I feel like crap and H can't go so I have to. Not looking forward to it!
Also not looking forward to going to a county fair this weekend. My nieces are showing pigs and goats and I love them and want to support them but. I hate county fairs.

I always get slightly nervous when making out going calls at work because you have to dial 9-1 before the number. I'm always a little nervous I will slip and call 911.
H and I had sex on Friday. I feel like I'm pregnant. And I'm freaking out a bit. #4 wasn't necessarily in the plans. I missed a minipill on our way home from vacation though. Damn.

We had to change ours to 7-1 because the cops kept showing up, lol!
I'm stupidly excited for the Bachelorette finale. I don't know why I'm so invested. Lol
I got last minute tix to see DMB on Weds and I'm really excited for that too. I've been to 18 shows but haven't been to one in 11 years. This tour is half full band and half acoustic with lots of old songs being played. Just hoping to not get poured on.
Someone please tell me why the weekend isn't 5 days and the work week only 2! How is it Monday already?
We made a huge, huge dent in Operation Clean the Garage on Saturday. We still have a couple boxes that h needs to go through and a bit more organizing we need to do, but it is a million times better then it was!
We went to h's cousin's house yesterday for a bbq. It was fun. They are still working on landscaping their yard so they have this big pile of concrete sand in their backyard. H buried dd's and ds's legs in the sand. When we got home and I took ds's shorts off to change his diaper and put his jammies on, I think half the sand pile fell out of his shorts. Plus he kept finding clumps of sand, calling them peanuts, and eating them. Good times.
I really need to clean my house, but I just don't want to.
I had my 5 year old nephew, 3 year old niece, and 4 year old DD all weekend. I AM BEAT. My SIL came and picked up all three kids last night around 6, and I was barely able to crawl inside and lay down. However, Harry Potter was on ABC Family, so instead of going to bed, I stayed up watching the final two movies.
I won't see DD until the weekend. Daycare is closed this week, so my ILs are picking her up from my SIL's house and taking her to the cabin this week. SIL and her kids will go up tomorrow, and my other SIL is taking her three week old up for a few days. It is going to be SO WEIRD not having DD at home all week.
I just discovered that our hospital opened another urgent care location MUCH closer to us. The old one was about 30-45 minutes away, depending on traffic. This new one is about 10-15 minutes away. I feel like we're there every other month, so I'm irrationally giddy to learn this.

My sister and I are planning a vacation. She wanted to add a day at Disneyland to the itinerary, which was fine. But she is getting nutty about it. She just sent me an email saying that she bought us Disney Vera Bradley hipster bags. I know it's not a big deal, but I really don't want to carry a VB bag and especially not a Disney one. But, it would really hurt her feelings if I told her that so I will suck it up. At least they don't match?
I am exhausted from talking myself out of food. I'm in the midst of breaking so many bad habits, and I just want a break from how MINDFUL I have to be all the time.
The good news is that I can say no to myself more than I ever have before. Yesterday I said no to a cupcake (from my favorite cupcake place in the world) and a Frosty, and this morning it was a bagel.
This would be so much easier if I didn't have kids, man. My universe is awash in treats.
GOD YES. I have spent the last nearly seven months talking myself out of everything. I've started to hit my breaking point, despite the fact I've lost about 2/3 of the weight I'm trying to lose, and I'm breaking down more often and giving in to treats. The mindfulness is indeed exhausting.
My skin is also breaking out like crazy again, argh. I thought I was done with this after my teen years. I refuse to put make up on it because I know it will make it 100 times worse, so I look super gross (and feel even worse). I hope it clears up soon.
Do you normally wear makeup? This happened to me for awhile and I swear that switching to Tarte amazonian clay foundation helped clear up my skin.

When my baby is awake for long periods of time I want him to go to sleep so I can just get *something* done. But then when he sleeps too long, I miss him. I'm so dumb. Lol.
Also when I see or hear the words "movie theater" I instantly want popcorn.
My daughters refused to go to camp this morning. So that three-hour break I was looking forward to didn't happen. I tried to get them settled by doing a puzzle with them, introducing them to another camper, and doing some blocks with them. I spent a half of an hour there. One counselor came over one time to try and engage my daughters for thirty seconds. I hate teenage counselor. I have never had an issue when dropping off my girls with adults at preschool. Clearly it's your job to engage children and draw them into the activity of the camp. Don't just just sit there, assholes.
I punished the girls with no TV for today. They seem motivated to go tomorrow. We'll see.

Ooohhh, this kid I work with is randomly friends with a person I know from HS. She often tags him in FB pictures. This is not a big deal normally. Except, he no called/no showed on Friday, and I happened to see pictures of him out to lunch with her that day. I wondered if he was on a PTO day or whatever, but didn't really think anything of it. His boss just came in wanting to write him up for not showing up to work.
I was having an ok day till about an hour ago. I woke the kids up from their nap, and they are both PISSED to be awake. Plus H triggered me with news about a fatal auto collision. WTF DH?! Why do you seem to hate me?
