It doesn't feel like Monday

[tennisgal]

It's cool and rainy here today. I would like to just stay in bed. But alas, there are children to supervise and one who needs her milk from mama.

[imimahoney]

Omg C is so clingy, she won't leave me alone. Just let me breathe, child!

We decided to have my MIL and GMIL over last minute for dinner tonight. I was planning on grilled chicken, potato salad, sliced tomatoes and strawberry pretzel salad for dessert. Except none of my tomatoes are ripe, so now I need another side. Any ideas?

[imimahoney]

Grilled corn?

I am so grateful that we have today off. Amelia is playing, Noah is snuggling with me on the couch and watching TV. And I am on my second cup of coffee. We are just being lazy and relaxing. Just what we needed.

[mcburglar]

I'm at work. Womp, womp.

Post op in 2 days. Kinda nervous to be in the car for 45+ minutes. I have to have help taking a bath since I'll be a fall risk for a while. I have to have help washing my hair and my back. I told the youngest sister in law to wash my hair like I'm 4 since I can't look up and to be easy lol. I can't lift my arms over my head for at least a few more days, bc of the bone graft or something. Needless to say, I'm over it. I know it'll be worth it, but I'm used to doing so much and I just can't. Even a bath wears me out. I get flat out exhausted. It's crazy how my body knows that I just can't do it.

What is exciting is that I haven't really had a headache since the one after surgery. All those muscles that were in a spasm those months before seem to have mostly relaxed. I don't know if it's the forced rest or my muscles going back to normal, but it's so exciting. And not one bit of numbness or tingling! I still have weeks to go of post op pain, but it should start to gradually get better after this week, according to the doctor. I'll probably need one more refill on pain meds, but I'm going to be asked to switched to a lower dose at the next appointment so I can wean off. So ready for normalcy lol.

That would go really well!

All my children stayed elsewhere last night! DS2 and DD at my parents, and DS1 at H's parents. I have to pick them up soon, but 14 hours of alone time is nothing to sneeze at. (Ok, so I'll really pick up DS1, and then go sit at my parents all day, but whatever). I'm already dreading going to work tomorrow, ha!

[spaghetticat]

Today is the last day to have S come drag her blanket into my bed and cuddle me before we lazily get up. I'm going to miss that so much. I hope she is okay with me going back to work. She is ridiculously into me lately.

I had my face mask on this morning, A very matter of factly said "Mom, it's not Halloween yet, why do you look like Frankenstein?" THANKS

[jg183]

All the baby toys I take back out for Alex, Luke is obsessed with. What a goofball. He's even playing with them without Alex

[mlkgls]

jg183 - G still loves his little people farm and fire station!

We're headed back home and of course G slept until almost 8 on the day I wanted to get an earlier start. Whatever. I'll take it. I NEVER get to sleep in and we both needed it. It was wonderful.

My children are sitting on the floor playing nicely with Picasso tiles while I sit on the couch. Hoping it lasts as long as possible.

[jsillyfun]

Having the parents and inlaws over for a bbq today. Tomorrow is open house at May's school and then she finally starts Wednesday!!

[browneyedhunni85]

I woke up feeling horrible this morning so dh took the kids and let me sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm bummed we didn't get to go to the parade today. Christian always enjoys it.

[vthokie]

I've got a killer headache. E got up at 3:30 and wouldn't go back down. He just nursed all night like an infant

[carawestt]

honeybee503 how's Natalie's finger?

[fusion]

I lifted for the first time in a while yesterday and am super sore today.

[irishsara]

I've had pounds creeping on all summer. I finally realized this weekend that it needs to end and I need to do something about it. I just don't want to put the work into it, lol. Time to get serious

Much better! Thanks for asking. The swelling is completely gone and she is moving it fine. Thank goodness!

I'm glad to hear that!

[browneyedhunni85]

I forgot to tell you guys but mil had messaged me wanting to visit the kids last weekend. I told her we just wanted family time and that Christian was still recovering from being sick and had missed two days of school. She said that was fine and maybe she could visit this weekend but wouldn't stay too long. Okay, fair enough. She texted me Friday and told her that she could still visit but wanted her to be aware we were still sick. She said she didn't care because she's around sick people often. Her choice but I wanted her to know. I felt Like total crap yesterday and looked like shit. I just wanted to lay in bed or at least nap a bit since dh was home. That didn't happen because she stayed for almost 4 hours! She never stays over 2 hrs but of course the day we really didn't need visitors she does. I was so annoyed. I feel like I'm too nice at times. I should have just told her no.

Desperately trying to back up my toilet phone before my apple genius appointment. I backed up with iCloud but want to do computer too, but my computer is in need of a replacement and says there's not enough space to backup my phone. Grr. I just hope my photos and videos are okay. I'm trying to get them into the photos app on my computer.

Guys this life jacket was from when I was a kid. Now it fits B. It used to be bright purple but 25 years of being in the sun has done its damage. and this is after Amelia threw her Binky in the lake and I didn't have another and it was 2.5 hours past nap time

[teamhayes]

I

First day of big boy school for m

Also my uncle owns a used car lot in town so he's letting me borrow a car while here. I think he gave me the oldest car on the lot .

I just met my SIL at the furniture store to help her look for new stuff

I now own a new bedroom set and couch. We desperately needed both though
