It's my birthday. So -- relaxing and suntanning and doing only the things I feel like doing
Happy birthday!
It's my bday today as well! It's going to be beautiful and hot here so we are having a boat day, kids are sleeping over at my inlaws, I'll be drinking lots of wine and eating birthday cake.
I already went to yoga and grocery shopped so I feel like I've done good adulting and it's only 9:45 am. The rest of the day I'll probably be doing exciting things like laundry and cleaning. I had hoped to go to the pool and for a run but it's raining so I'm stuck inside.
DS1 has been giving me stickers from his gumball thing. "It's all about sharing and being the best version of yourself." He has become such a sweet kid.
May rain today but of course we have outdoor plans. Want to head to the farmers market this mornin, then check out a fair type thing for National Trails Day put on by our hiking club, as well as go for a hike. Tonight we have an outdoor concert. Fingers crossed for no rain!

The baby slept until 9:30! It's probably a good thing since I'm hungover.
We are going to the library for the kick off to summer party. Afterwards we are going to the zoo. The hospital Myles was born at host a zoo night for the babies born the previous year.
Wedding day! Make up done and waiting for hair. I thought I'd be tired for having to get up at 5:30 but I'm feeling fine. I am sure I will crash later.
I've created a monster. Theo will ask me multiple times a day for cheeseburgers. Like, it's not even 7 am and he's already asking to go get cheeseburgers. It's to the point where they set up their play kitchen so that they can play drive thru. One kid sits on one side, the other comes up through the other and places an order for cheeseburgers and nuggets.
DH said he would take Owen last night so of course the kid slept through the night for the first time. Ha
Worked out, Tball at 11 and then Jax's friend is coming over to swim. I have an open house tomorrow so I need to go over tonight and do a few last minute things. Hopefully DH will make dinner, Jax will be so worn out he will go to bed early and we can have some drinks and adult time.
Last night DH and I were talking about my stretch marks, overall pp jello feeling and the fact that I don't want to wear bikinis this summer. A few things to keep in mind are no matter what I wear I always wear a rash guard so it's all a moot point, he'd rather see me in a bikini at any weight than a full peice, and DH gained more weight than I did during my pregnancy and lost none of it. He looks at me and says
Have you tried crunches? Um, motherfucker I was just given the go ahead to work out two days ago. I think I look pretty fucking good and feel confident in the one pieces I bought but he is just not a fan. I think whenever he asks me something today I am just going to reply with "have you tried crunches?"
Woke up late again! Lol. Going to walk my dog then to yoga. Gonna go do some shopping today and get some freshly baked cookies. Then, it's Thai food tonight!!!! Will also take my dog to the beach at some point.
It is going to be hot as balls here today. I'm up early to get the dog walked before it gets too nasty. Today I will be cleaning house, taking care of DH (surgery was Thursday) and keeping DS entertained. Thank goodness my neighbor is having us over to swim this afternoon. I plan to lay in the sun and relax for a bit. We could go to the beach but it will be hot and packed.

My random that's more of a story: I have a hs graduation party to go to today, so I made cookies in the school colors of the college the girl is going to attend. Took until 11 pm last night, when I discovered omg they sucked so bad. Terrible tasting AND terrible looking (but a lovely shade of purple!) so I scrapped them, and went to bed figuring I'd throw together a box of brownies in the morning. I get up and NO FUCKING BROWNIE MIX in my whole damn house. I always have brownie mix. And don't try to tell my scratch brownies are better. They're not. I fancy up the mixes and they're delicious. So I can either put on clothes and go to the store, or I can google "Can I make brownies out of cake mix?" and I'll leave it to you to guess which won.
So I (spoiler) make my brownies out of cake mix, cool them, and cut them into 1" squares. I'm going to frost them with letters and make a word search for her. I googled word search generators while they were baking. So I go to make the frosting (because homemade butter cream is about 17000 times better than store bought frosting, I'll grant you that) but I have no butter because I forgot to mention I one of the ways I screwed up last night's cookies was adding the food coloring too early so I had to make an extra batch of non-colored, and used up the last of my butter. So at this point I'm jusssst about at the fuck-it stage but no, I get in the car and go to the store for butter. But I somehow actually reached the fuck-it stage between the house and the store because I went straight to the baking aisle for that writing frosting in a tube (which is worse than the canned stuff). They had no fucking white frosting in a tube. They had black. They had purple. And orange. But no fucking white. So a bought a can of that abomination called "canned vanilla frosting" and frosted the damn word search with it. I am done now and ready for a nap.

We're having a lazy day so far. DS slept until 8:15 and is now putting together random lego pieces. The pollen around here is crazy and DS and I are pretty miserable so we'll probably limit outdoors which stinks since today is going to be nice out. I have tickets for us to see Angry Birds this afternoon and we need to go out and get a birthday present for tomorrow. MH is golfing today in a tournament so we'll need to pick him and 3 others up at some point later tonight.
We are cleaning our house all weekend. 9 years worth of shit has accumulated and I'm so over it. We have a small dumpster and I'm going to fill that fucker to the top.
Molly has a skating birthday party/sleepover so I have to run to Target for a gift on our way to drop her off. (am I the only one that never plans ahead?) She will have fun and it will be nice to get her out of our hair for a little bit. 9 year old are moody, man.
I tried making my own coffee creamer today. I'd say it was semi successful. I need to mess around with the ratio of ingredients.
As I was walking to work this morning an asshole cat called me then called me a fat bitch. Great way to start my day.
I read this as an asshole cat did the actually talking. I was slightly impressed at his vocal capabilities. And the I realized what happened and felt bad.
We received a "notice to vacate" from our rental on the 1st. Our (month to month) lease now ends on 7/15. We've been house hunting, but haven't had any luck on actually landing a contract. We put in another offer last night, and should hear back this morning around noon. I am on pins and needles and trying not to freak out. I really don't want to rent somewhere else for another year, (no short term rentals that will allow dogs), but I don't want to be homeless either!

H is in a fitness step challenge at work and is supposed to walk 16,000 steps today so his team can hit 100,000 in one day. We decided the best way to do this would be walk to and from our favorite brunch place 2.3 miles away and reward ourselves with Bloody Mary's.

Went to boot camp this morning and then met DS's friend at the farmers market so they could play for a bit. Now I'm relaxing with coffee while DS watches a show. The gas company is coming between 12 and 4 to replace our meter I really hope they come on the early side of the window so we can get back outside. Likely the park and a local festival that will have a bounce house for DS.
Wedding day! Make up done and waiting for hair. I thought I'd be tired for having to get up at 5:30 but I'm feeling fine. I am sure I will crash later.
You guys look amazing! Have a great day! Adrenaline is powerful. We were up for 24 hours straight and didn't even notice till like 4 am.
My head is spinning. DH got a call last night about a new job assignment for work. He's going to be taking on a huge, very public role that will involve a huge amount of work. I have mixed emotions. It's an honor, but a HUGE undertaking. I was really happy with his previous role. It was not as high level, but he was able to spend more time with the family.
Moving is the pits!!! Good luck!!
Is your DH Hamilton? DID HE JUST BECOME SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY?
