Thank you!!

[estrellita]

We're going to my parents this weekend. Hitting up the county fair and the Crayola Factory! That's about it for plans this week.

Happy anniversary rockinrobyn!

I have a weird week just in that I have some random appointments, so I'll be a little off my normal routine. Today I had to go for a blood draw and since it's where DH works R & I got to have lunch with him and a former co-worker of his. It is pouring rain though so running around in that has been no fun!

[wineandcheese]

rockinrobyn happy anniversary!

Boring here. My usual work schedule. Errands Friday. Saturday our friends are having a bon fire so that should be fun.

Pretty routine during the week. I work Wed- Friday.

Today my husband had taken off. Cara decided that she was going to wake for the day at 450am, so we're all tired. We did go to music class/open gym at a new play place (indoor playground, art classes, music classes, play and learn classes) so that was fun.

Saturday we have a playdate and Sunday we are going to my parents to celebrate my grandma's birthday.

I've decided that I'm going to put myself on a spending freeze for the rest of August. Not only should I be spending less money, but I also really need to start purging a lot of crap from my house before I continue bringing more in.

Pharm final on Wednesday, so my next 2 days will be taken up with that. Other than work, I'll be so happy to have my days off FREE for a couple weeks until the next semester starts.

My hearing aid has been irritating my ear canal, so I have an appointment with my audiologist tomorrow to fix that.

Happy anniversary rockinrobyn!

estrellita- sounds like a great weekend!

We did bagels/coffee/grocery shopping and park before naps today! Wen haven't been to bagels since potty training so it was nice to be back to our normal monday morning routine! Either play date with neighbors or lake after nap today.

I had a mammogram scheduled for tomorrow but got out of it since I am breastfeeding. Need to schedule an ultrasound once it is approved by insurance.

Wednesday is park in the AM and library/Yogurtland in the PM

Lake again on Thursday

No plans yet for Friday or the weekend. It's supposed to be hot. My BFF (the one who had her DD when she was 52 and H left when she was born) is having a bday party for her DD. We might go or might not, can't decide because it's not close and between naps. And it's a pool party with two kids so not like I will get to visit much.

Other than all that, normal chores, working for my dad, and surviving solo parenting all week!

The House Cleaners came today!!! Yasssssss!!!!

This week I'll just be avoiding...I mean entertaining the in-laws.

I'll also write thank you notes.

[katespade]

grover - How is your first day back at work?

[melsamoony]

Nothing too exciting for me either.

Back to my normal schedule which makes me happy. Bday party for my nephew this weekend which should be fun. Otherwise....same old same old.

[wanderingenough]

Bachelorette cruise for my friend this weekend! No husbands and no kids! Excuse me while I struggle to pay attention to work all week.

[awick14]

rockinrobyn- happy anniversary!

katespade- I need a spending freeze too.

Did you miss me? 😛 lol

We had a great camping trip. @ related......DD had a blast she loves the out doors. I thought she would sleep well with all the fresh air but nope not the case. So now I am back to sleep training all over again.

It was great to spend the time away from electronics and real world stuff. But boy is it exhausting single parenting in the middle of no where.

We got an offer on our house while I was away. We accepted it. It's not for listing price but it is a good price and we are happy with it. All conditions have to be removed by this Friday.

[MrsMB]

awick14 congrats on the sale!!!

[bk1]

Happy anniversary rockinrobyn

Congrats on the offer awick14


I am so sore. DH and I mixed, poured, and leveled 52 1/2 bags of concrete yesterday. It took us all day but we now have the footer poured for an extension on his metal building. It was nice getting to work on a project with DH. I miss doing projects and learning new skills. 

[amaranth]

We head home from vacation today. I'm really happy to go back. The trip was fine, but really exhausting. We've been sharing our AirBnB's with other people and I forgot how taxing it was to have NO alone time at all for days.


ewall Hooray for a new bathroom I hope all your testing goes well and that the results are just fine. Sorry for the scary appointments

bk1 Doing projects with my H really bonds us at times (even if we're not always agreeable. lol). Glad you guys got the chance to do some work.

awick14 Congrats on the house sale. What a relief!

wanderingenough Have SO SO much fun. Something tells me it would be awesome even if your whole trip was rainy and inside. lol. Alone time is so nice.

katespade We're on a spending freeze too. Forever, maybe. lol. I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas trying to figure out how I could avoid spending any money on gifts and just somehow make everything. (Probably won't happen...)

estrellita The Crayola factory sounds really fun. Have you been there before? Do you get to tour and see how everything is made?

[luv2rn4fun]

Great update awick14! Glad you had a great time camping and that you got an offer on your house!

ewall- sorry about the appointments 🙁 You are in my prayers. Glad you had a great vacation and hope you enjoy the rest of your time off!

[estrellita]

amaranth I went to one a really long time ago in PA and now there's one here! There were lots of things to do like making crayons, art projects, etc. I'm hoping E is old enough to enjoy it!

[estrellita]

ewall So glad you hear everything else looks good! I'm sorry about the appointments, I hope things get better!

[MrsMB]

((ewall)) keep us updated lady!!! Saying prayers for you right now!!!

[awick14]

((ewall))

[katespade]

ewall - Crossing my fingers for good news at your future appointments! I hope they're able to figure out what's going on and come up with a quick, easy fix for you.

[katespade]

Just got reminded that my ten year HS reunion is this weekend.

Not only do they think I want to waste a weekend surrounded by people I went to high school with, but they think I want to PAY to do it! Bitch, please.

[estrellita]

katespade At least your class is doing one. Mine never ended up planning one! Then again the only people I'd potentially want to see probably wouldn't go anyways so yeah, lol.

[katespade]

estrellita - I feel particularly weird about it because I kind of have two classes and I don't really belong with either one. I grew up in a really small town and graduated a year late. So, I was invited last year because those are the people I grew up with, but I'm also invited this year because that's the group I actually graduated with.

I didn't end up going last year, and I don't plan to go this year, either. I really hated high school. And my last year was particularly rough, since no one was quiet about their assumptions about how stupid and lazy I was. Like, I feel insecure just thinking about spending time around those people again.

Fuck them.

[estrellita]

katespade I know that feeling A lot of people were horrible to me in HS too. It was hell, definitely not the best time ever like some people think it is. I didn't have a group of friends either so I think a reunion would end up like lunch where I have a few friends there but they're sitting with people that hate me so I end up alone. Ugh. I don't blame you for not wanting to go, especially if it brings up bad memories!
