We had dinner at MIL's house and she invited a friend from another condo in her building. He was so fun to chat with (from Australia and has worked all over the world), dinner was delicious, and DS was really good despite being very tired.
DS and I came home (H is still there). He didn't cry in the car on the way home (amazing!), was delightful all through bedtime, including reading stories. He started wiggling when I was rocking him, so I put him in the crib, rubbed his back, and shushed him. He put his head down and quieted down. He ramped back up again after I left the room, but I finished putting on pajamas. I went back in and put the pacifier back in and rubbed his back. Only stayed for about 15 seconds. He fell asleep completely on his own and has been quiet for a good while.
Now, I'm eating lactation cookies and ice cream (gotta keep that milk supply up!) and watching MasterChef. I plan to go to sleep soon. What a great night!

I'm still waiting for h to get home, but I think I'm just going to pass out instead. I started feeling a cold coming on about 2 hours ago, now I totally feel like a bag of shit. Gotta love germy kids...

I'm just sitting on the couch watching Law and Order SVU on Netflix and hoping E doesn't wake up again. He's got this nasty cough from allergies and we've literally done all we can but he's still miserable. This is the worst part of parenting.
We're supposed to go to the Dream Cruise tomorrow and I'm going to be sad if we can't go because he is sick. He LOVES the cars and it's one of my favorite weekends of the summer in Michigan.

Once we got our ds to bed, my H and I just flopped on the couch and have been watching The Simpson while we play fake money casino games on our iPads. A pretty boring night. We needed it.

Not kidding.. Take garlic pills. Send your H to get them if you don't have any.
Any time I feel the slightest telltale tickle in my throat, I take garlic. I've gone from multiple colds a year to only 1 or 2 in the last three.
This is a good idea! I always forget about garlic. Thanks!
We went out for dinner at a new place near our house. Dd was sad that they didn't have any mac and cheese but after she had a couple of chicken wings, she was good. (Protein, suesue?)
The owner and waitress were so nice. The owner gave the kids money to play video games. Then we made the fortune square/pyramid fortunes with the kids (they had to remind us how to make them). It was fun!
I have a kid here for the weekend. She's already in bed and asleep. Great success!
Tomorrow H and I are taking 2 kids to the tennis tournament. I may be drinking tomorrow night and I haven't had a drink in almost a year.
Did you just find these kids next to a redbox or something?
When people meet our baby for the first time, they very often say something like, "is this your kid?" H always responds, "nah, I just picked this one up on the street."
I was seeing a guy for a few weeks but we broke things off. I missed him more than I thought I would. A few nights ago I went to text a friend of mine (that shares a very similar name) and accidentally texted him. I apologized and figured that was that but then he started texting back. He said he missed me and hadn't stopped thinking about me the past couple weeks.
He called tonight and asked me to dinner tomorrow night. So we'll see!
Why did you break things off?
Thunder, lightning, and rain today after weeks of yelled highs. It was soooo nice to have rain. I love storms. Ds1 was at camp and while ds2 was napping, I sat on the couch with my book and a latte, with all the windows open. It was so nice.
Take out for dinner, and a movie while we picnicked on the living room floor. The boys are in bed now and we're watching Monuments Men and playing on our iPads.
I got a call that there was a work "emergency" and I had to go into the office at 9 tonight. On Monday I want to have a meeting with my co-workers to discuss the actual definition of the word emergency, there seems to be some confusion.

This made me laugh, but I'm sure you're not amused. What was the "emergency?"
Wow, bonquiqui! I was impressed with myself for making it to 10...plus some, since I don't have my phone on me most of the time when I'm at home.
We went to the neighborhood pool tonight with friends. I sat out & talked to my friend while the guys swam with the kids. It was wonderful! I hope we sell the house soon so we can be members next year!
Now we're doing nothing. Glorious nothing! It's our first weekend at the new house without company, and I'm really looking forward to it! A few projects and a lot of just relaxing together & enjoying the new place.
He's an actor as well and we both thought that things just wouldn't fit (schedules and lifestyles). I'm hoping that the dinner will give us a chance to talk and see if we're both willing to make some compromises in our lives to fit the other in. We went the past few weeks not seeing or speaking to each other and neither of us enjoyed it.
If not, then we'll say goodbye and I'll just have to force myself to not miss him.

I just went outside to take the garbage cans in, and there was a frog on the sidewalk. So I chased it around the front yard while saying, "I gotta have my Smacks!"

G got a cold on Sunday and left on Monday and I was all 'I dodged that bullet'. Nope. I feel like ass. Then, my mom is all 'well g feels better so you should be totally fine tomorrow'. Sure, Mom, she's 4 and I'm 40, and I can barely breathe right now but ok, I'm see I'll be top notch in 12 hours. Sorry you're feeling shitty, if you need sympathy don't call my mom.
Lol! Theo came down with a cold on Wednesday, and I was feeling great so I thought I got lucky. Then it all hit me. Summer colds are bullshit.
dh is on this weekend so it's just frank and me - i got clothes returned and exchanged shoes for frank at target after work/before picking him up from school, picked up chipotle, got a short workout in, got some play time and cuddle time before sending ds to bed, loaded the dishwasher and now i'm in bed drinking tea and reading. good night.

I'm sure I'll find it amusing by Monday too. But I still think I need a flowchart for them of "is this an emergency?". this means I get to work less on Monday though, right?
DH is working all day tomorrow so I told him he was "in charge" of DS tonight. I made myself a ton of strawberries with whip and chocolate sauce and I am all cuddled in my bed watching TV with the a/c blasting. So far tonight is pretty awesome!
Well, last Saturday was my birthday and I was two Bloody Marys and three glasses of wine in by dinner and I told SIL I'd watch her three kids today. I TOTALLY forgot until she texted me today and was like "what time should I drop them off?" Ummmm, what??? LLLLOL. My lazy Friday night got turned upside down. But David is having a great time and I love her kids, so no biggie. It's just.....an adjustment of expectations. lol
We ordered pizza and just hung out and watched tv. We are now watching the Broncos/Seahawks preseason football game. Nothing super exciting, but it's been nice.
I think we are going to the Air and Space Museum in Denver tomorrow and I'm stoked to take ds there! It's supposed to be hot as balls tomorrow so I'm trying to talk h into doing this tomorrow and waiting to stain the rest of the deck until Sunday when it will be 10* cooler!

When she comes to get her kids, or you drop them off, tell her that drunk plans are no longer binding!
