I had Chipotle today for the first time in months, I think five months. It was yummy, but later my stomach was not happy with me.
I can't get my usual news channel for some reason, so I'm watching Aljazeera America. I appreciate that it is very fair and not as bias as US television.
Oh and thanks to yesterday's denim skirt thread, I wore my denim skirt today. ?
I called the hospital to get a copy of my records from P's birth and it gives me all the feels. I don't know what I'm seeking to accomplish but maybe it will bring me some peace to at least have some information about the surgery. The blame game is eating me up inside and I think I may try to find a therapist to talk it through.
Unrelated: tomorrow is half price cheesecake day at Cheesecake Factory. If loving mass produced chain restaurant cheesecake is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Have you considered finding an ICAN chapter near you? They might provide support as well, and might lead to a good therapist rec. www.ican-online.org/support/
Also, I now know what I will be eating for lunch tomorrow on my day off! Yum cheesecake.
We are at the neighbourhood playground, just me and the kids. It's only a 7 minute walk from our house so the boys rode their bikes here (ds2 on his strider bike). Since it was a quick trip I decided not to bring diapers with me. I lost the gamble because sure enough DS2 just pooped. Ugh. I don't think he will want to ride his bike back to the house.
Also, G popped two molars over the weekend. I was all excited because it wasn't awful and then last night happened. :/ Fingers crossed tonight is better.
Holy shit. I just read a news article that a guy I knew from junior high was arrested for soliciting young teenage girls online. A few years back he friended me on FB and I ignored because I was never really friends with him and always found him a little creepy. Thank goodness for my instincts because it terrifies me to think he could have had access to photos of my kids.
I think it is a fairly easy fix with a patch, so at least you know early?
Yeah, but did she have to mention it when we are on vacation? H spent most of today getting her to look at him, and then would take pics of her and analyze them.
Our library had a special puppet marionette show thing tonight. They've been pushing it pretty hard at storytime lately so I told one of my good friends about it and her DH is also traveling for work and she's solo parenting. So we all went and it was super cute, minus the complete and total meltdown by my almost 5 yo at the end. They were selling little simple $20 puppets and I told her that if she and her brother could agree on a color, we'd get one. Cue total and complete tantrum because she absolutely had to have pink and her brother couldn't be manipulated into agreeing. Gah. At least I saved $20 on something that probably would have been broken on the ride home.
We went out for ice cream after which made for a late evening. Baby is bathed and everyone is down, hopefully they'll sleep well. 3.5 days till DH is home

This afternoon was miserable. Lane didn't nap at all. He usually naps AT LEAST 2 hours, closer to 3. He is such a tied when he is tired- getting into everything he knows he's not supposed to on purpose. I was wiped out and so frustrated. He went to bed easily tonight at least. Since bedtime I've been productive- installed curtain rods and finally hung curtains in our bedroom, organized nb diapers, assembled an ikea rocker and footstool, folded a couple of loads of laundry and ate a bunch of ice cream cake. I feel a little better now..
But I will rarely choose it if another option is available.
As a child I HAAAAAAAATED it. I only learned to tolerate it in my 20s. Actually the first time I ate it without grimacing was at a fondue restaurant on a very early date with H. I was still trying to impress him and I didn't want to be a baby about the dessert course.
I had a wegmans sub for lunch today and it was worth the listeria risk. Omg I miss that store so much!
Ds and I have been at my sister's for a week and go back home tomorrow. Dh basically unpacked our entire house while we were gone, he's amazing. It was such a disaster when I left I can't wait to walk into a HOME.
Also Ds has been calling and FaceTimeimg Dh all week and it is the most adorable thing. "Oh hi dad! I went swimming at the pool! And ate macaroni and cheese! How are you dad?" When did he get so big?
Tonight's dinner was a bust. I hate spending time cooking something that I end up not liking. I wish I had ice cream in the freezer so I could eat that for dinner.
I have to read the baby 15 books in two days in order to fill the whole library summer reading program sheet and get a free book. Challenge accepted! Never mind that the free books are all paperbacks designed for kids who are at least six years old. We are doing this! I'll save it along with his t-shirt, which won't fit until he's about four years old.
Oooooooh H just booked a work trip to Vegas for October and then threw out, "Hey, what if we get my parents to come watch the kids and you come with me?"
YES PLEASE
In other news I am about to cook myself a nice steak dinner and watch an HD webcast of tonight's Phish show.
