You know what would be awesome? If I could sleep in for a second on the days when I don't have to get up...like at all. I have zero planned for today, but yet, I'm up before 6am. That seems dumb. The dogs. Ugh. But I love their fury guts like crazy, so I can't stay mad.
Tman's birthday yesterday was a lot of fun. Of course, yesterday ends up being the day that James has to work late, so he was only able to join us for dinner and the pillow opening, but Tman and I had a blast. We went to donuts in the morning. I wanted us to go in our pjs, but he was embarrassed. Psh. Party pooper. Anyway, we came back home for a while and started working on this build it yourself remote control "all terrain robot" that he got for his birthday, lounged around for a bit, then went to the arcade (I was trying to stall hoping James would be able to get out of work, but that didn't happen) and then got a "Little Fry" at 5 guys which is like a TON of fries. Around 3:30, we headed to the family fun center in Tukwila and it's so much different/better than when I was there a) a million years ago, and b) in the winter when none of the outdoor stuff was open. We did the go karts twice, the bumper boats (which the water felt really good on such a hot day), mini golf (not keeping score, but I'm sure I smoked him), and then went inside for some bowling. Their new bowling alley is AWESOME! Really. I was raving about it to James all night. Ha. We got home around 6:30. James had just gotten home and showered. We gave Tman his pillow and it went exactly as expected. He did say we were silly for giving him a pillow, but he seemed to like it and said that it was cozy. And then the phone rang. He didn't get it at first, thought that we put one of our phones in there, but when he realized it was a phone for him, he freaked right out. We are going to have to put some serious restrictions on it, because he already started going hog wild with it. We had dinner at red lobster like he wanted, and then came home for cupcakes and happy birthday. Oh, he loves his curtains, too.
I managed to keep it together all day with no emotions in front of the boy at all. One point for mom.
Today, he has an orthodontist appointment and then nothing else going on. I will admit that I'm rather exhausted from yesterday, so I'm looking forward to a low key day today.

georgeharrison, it sounds like you and Tman had a great day yesterday! Good job!!
Not much going on for me today, just working and then I need to grill salmon tonight for dinner. DD is at my parents house today and H will pick her up on his way home from work.
We bought a bike for me yesterday, so now the 3 of us have bikes and can go for family rides on the nearby trails. We're looking forward to that
Just getting started on my day over here. Class tonight. Left my wedding set at home today..oops... oh well . Went to the barn last night, had dinner with my friend and the pony which was kind of relaxing. worked with the pony a bit and worked with my friend on some of her riding techniques.
georgeharrison That sounds like a pretty dang awesome birthday! You can plan mine, k?
AF showed up yesterday in full so I was cranky and moody plus this ongoing exhaustion. (No call from sleep doctor yet to schedule study so I guess insurance is being slow with the preauthorization, boo.) I had wanted to go to the store as we need almond milk and some other stuff and thought I'd get a corn dog for dinner but instead I went straight home and to the couch. I whined in text to H a lot, who actually got home around 8 (much earlier than I expected) from helping paint the TIFO and brought me some cake. He got paint on his new polo (roll eyes) because no one else wears painting clothes and he felt dumb the last two times when he did and then didn't get any paint on him. So of course the dodo is wearing his new polo and gets paint on his BACK. "Won't it wash out easily? It washes off the hands with no paint thinner or anything." Uh, no dude, paint likes to cling to fabric fibers. Oh well.
Poor Ivan baby has a big sore on his head Giving him his Lysine and hope it heals up soon. Only plans are to try to make it through the work day without falling asleep or getting too grumpy and retrying to get to the grocery store tonight.
georgeharrison, Happy Bday T man! Sounds like such an awesome birthday. I didn't know family fun center got a bowling alley! Sounds like fun. Can you plan my birthday?
I accepted a new position on campus. Things aren't working out with my boss. I need to give my notice, but I'm going to wait until Monday. I'm not ready to deal with the backlash.
Going to lunch with a bunch of co-workers, getting my lunches in with them before it becomes a little harder to get lunch with them. I'll still be on campus just moving around.
Not much going on here. I forgot bff and I had plans to hang out today so I rearranged my schedule to keep our planed hang out. Got home in time to put 2/3 kids down for naps, and now I get to go water the garden and pull some weeds in the backyard. Possibly still get some weight lifting in as well before naps over. Then i'm going to let the kids play in the pool or the sprinkler, haven't decided yet.
I think I went giant bitch on my sister today. But I mean she did turn off my mom's phone and demanded the phone back in like 3 days. Then today she asks me well was Mom able to get a new phone and get the pictures off? I don't want to be an asshole...
I was trying to be like noncommittal and say oh ok. Finally I was like Why are you pretending you even f--- care? She was like I do but I am not allowed to talk to her for 2 years so obviously I am not going to pay $1200 for a service I can't even use. I was like dude if you cared you'd have given her a week's notice. Not be all demandy and assholish and want it back right now and not even tell her you were turning off her service.
