I need to get in the long weekend spirit. I’m feeling very womp womp.
I didn’t make any plans because we had a crazy last few weeks. Swim class this morning and breakfast out but not sure what else.
Then luxuriate in the fact that you have no plans! That’s what we are doing. Sometime in this long stretch of time, DD and I are getting pedis and I’m taking MIL shopping for vacation clothes. But we are being very lazy and unstructured about it all!

We are at my inlaw’s house on the coast. We will be going out in the boat and swimming in the pool. Usually our nieces are here as well but they are out of town this weekend. While we do love seeing them it is soooooo much quieter and it’s nice for our girls to have some one on one time with their grandparents. I am currently still in bed and can hear the kids playing with MIL. If it were all 4 kids I would feel like I needed to rescue her. Now she probably wants me to stay away 😊

I have a triathlon on Sunday. I need to go pick up the packet today.
On Monday I have decided that, since I'm stupidly on the HOA board, I'll go out and hand out popsicles for a couple hours on Monday at our neighborhood pool. We're calling it Popsicles at the Pool. I feel like doing this is really doing the absolute least. My husband feels like I'm insane for planning to do that because it's a commitment of time on a holiday. The kids want to go to the pool anyway. What's the big deal? All I'm going to do is set up an ice chest with popsicles.
ETA: Of course now I'm worried that these are famous last words.

I am. The day has gotten better. I am just PMSing and have a cold and still fighting the infection. But it is nice to just do whatever we want.
The mystery birthday present worked out so well! DH was totally surprised and really delighted in all the little things. I have lots of hints, mostly to make it go a little faster. He thought the video was hysterical, which it was! And most importantly, he solved the mystery and got his real present . He was not quite as freaked out by the bloody thumb as I might have expected. He thought it was DD's trick thumb from her magic kit and was pleasantly surprised to find it was actually a thumb drive.
I have been to one of three grocery stores, ordered more soccer jerseys at the soccer store, bought Arnica (which was hard to find this time), hosted a water balloon fight for a bunch of kids and now I’m watching six kids in the pool while my oldest DJs.
Which brings me to - “clean versions” are still so dirty. Examples - Candy Paint talks about BJs and Tove Lo came on and it was literally about getting high.
We bought new couches today. Ours are 5 years old, and they had been peed on, puked on, pooped on, decorated with markers and crayons, and just generally really abused. I would have waited longer, but DH was just completely grossed out by a couple of weeks ago where DS had multiple puke episodes on one couch and then DD fell asleep and peed on the other one. So we now have a week to get rid of our current couches in time for the new ones to arrive.
We also got a new ottoman to replace the coffee table we’ve had for probably 20 years. I’m mourning the coffee table. In fact, I may try to find a way to keep it. It’s been a great piece of furniture for so long and it’s still solid. But then I remember our old furniture will go to a charity that helps homeless people furnish their new apartments and I feel better about letting it go.
The weekend definitely turned around. Our colds are much better and no more PMS.
Fri we had a day date for lunch and went out for BBQ for dinner.
Sat was swim class and breakfast out. Then picked up bike stuff from the bike store. Hotdogs and burgers while we had an outdoor movie.
Sun DH and DD went for a bike ride while I worked with DS. I think he still needs practice with balance and being afraid of falling. I might bribe him for motivation. Then we played baseball and soccer. Then stayed inside because it was 95.
Today was the splash pad and zip line for 2 hours. DH has to fly out tonight though.
