Thursday things

[tennisgal]

W has his preschool graduation today. Then we're going out for dinner after to a yummy Italian place

[tennisgal]

Oh, and first PP period decided to arrive today. Happy Birthday to me. Grrr. (I guess I can't totally complain, R is already 14mos!)

[vthokie]

I'm feeling a little emo. We all drove to my parents' yesterday. Today, we leave the kids until Monday while we go to the beach for our anniversary. We've each left before, but never both of us. They'll be fine. We'll have fun. But, it's still a bit stressful leaving them. 😢

my little sister is coming next week and the weather is not looking great ... I'm willing it to warm up and stop raining so she can have a sunny visit. The weather in Ireland is so crap I feel terrible if people come here and then the weather here is irish-y ...

Both my kids were up before 6 today. This better not become their new norm. One at a time up early I can handle, Daniel I make stay in his room or he can go to the playroom. If just Alexander he's content to lie in bed with me watching tv, but when it's both of them they're wild and there's no chance of more sleep.

I am constantly exhausted it's so frustrating
I get enough sleep but am
Never rested

[racheliz]

Newborn pictures today! I'm going a little crazy being stuck in the house, but DD has her dance recital this weekend and next week my parents are taking the older kids to a local RV resort and I plan on going during the day with the baby.

I scheduled Amelia's appointment at John's Hopkins. The earliest appointment is the end of September. If we have to keep up this new norm until then i will go crazy. I am hoping the pediatrician can get us in sooner.

Making our solar system with my space obsessed kid.

It's family fun day at Olivia's preschool. The weather is finally nice!

[Deleted]

Heading to the pool today. I don't know how people with more than 2 kids go swimming lol. It takes so long to pack lunches, sunscreen, get dressed, pack toys/towels/floaties for all 3 of us I cannot imagine adding more kids!

[jsillyfun]

Prepping Clara's bday stuff for Saturday! My baaaaaby! Can't believe she's almost 2.

[nannerl]

Oh FFS. I have a sunburned "tramp stamp" strip on my lower back from weeding a flower bed yesterday. Apparently I need longer shirts.

[blane12]

Has anyone planning Disney trips gotten the Disney Within Reach book by LJ somebody? I am just starting to look into it, and didn't know if it was worth it.

Why are 5 year olds so annoying to take to the grocery store? Can you just not ask 1000 questions, please?? And can I get a little space?? I can't even navigate the cart because you are glued to my side.
Ahhh

I try really hard to be nice and patient, but it pretty much always ends with me saying something like, "Okay Elias can you just not talk any more please? I can't talk anymore. I can't answer any more questions." Then I feel bad. I just need a little bit of room and silence for my brain to function!

I pretty much ask Andrew to stop talking on a daily basis. I tell him it's quiet time for my brain, just like he needs quiet time. Without it, my brain can't grow. It's not so bad during the school year, but it's nonstop now.

I've also been known to have him write me a list of the things he wants to tell me when quiet time is up. It distracts him, and he never actually remembers to discuss things when he's allowed to start rambling off again. It's all about survival, man. I can't handle that many words coming at me.

I just called to schedule C's appointment with the GI specialist and the next available isn't until July 6. I am bawling right now. His sleep just keeps getting worse and the thought of not getting help for another month is so hard. I am awake on the hour every night and I don't know how much longer I can take it.

We just got Ari's teacher assignment for the fall. I can't believe he'll be in kindergarten soon

Wow! I think they don't release that here until a few days before so people can't complain all summer. Lol.

We live in a very parent friendly town. I think they'd rather deal with the complaints in the summer than at the beginning of the year.

Do these usually come in the mail or do you get them another way? I'm patiently waiting to hear about A, because they still haven't even let me know if she's in full or half time!

We just received a letter from the teacher welcoming Ari into her class next year. "She" also invited him to visit her classroom in 2 weeks to meet other new students.

All new students are invited so this isn't just his class. There will also be another meet and great in August for those who can't make this one.

Of course working parents are screwed because both are at 1:30 in the afternoon. Ugh.

I see that Andrew is on the side of Pluto being a planet @ muppetinma!

It's difficult when most books, posters, and other materials have it listed as a planet.  Andrew is too damn literal and refuses to listen when I talk about it being demoted.  It's not worth the battle.  I think it's BS anyway.  #plutoforlife

[laurensmomma]

jaime183, I am feeling the same way. I partially think not exercising as much is making it so much worse, but I just don't have the energy!

[rjamz]

Is anyone else watching The Keepers on Netflix?? Oh. My. God.

I watched it. It's one of the most disturbing things I've watched.

I'm not done yet, but my jaw has been on the floor for most of the day that i've been watching

It'll remain there until you're finished with all the episodes. And maybe even after that.

Yep! I always seem to forget to pick something up with I take A because of all the talking. I need to think when I grocery shop! This is why summer needs to end lol H is so pleasant to take shopping for now.
