Right now DD and I are at Get Air and she is jumping. Will go home in an hour or so eat lunch work on watering some more before heading to my parents for an early dinner.
Dog did okay last night with the hour of fireworks after dark with just the anxiety pill and DD slept through it now I just wish I did. Not looking forward to tonight festivities.
Other than DH sending a text saying he arrived safe I've heard nothing.
Went out to breakfast. As we were leaving the house DH casually mentions he had a problem with a yard chemical and taking it back to Home Depot.
The moron put it in a bag at DS’s feet and then got all mad it leaked over. How about you put it upright because it had a sprayer on it and put it on the back on a bag hook. So then he yelled at DS about stepping on it. No it’s your fault DH. He apologized but we have had the car 2 days and already have a large chemical spill FFS! And it was immediately after discussing at breakfast how we want to keep the car nice. I’m more mad he initially blamed DS than the spill.
Then we went to Meijer to get new booster seats and that took forever. Oh well I think the day can only get better because the morning sucked. Maybe the pool later!
Told the kids at 9am that they could swim as soon as they cleaned up their toys and breakfast dishes. It's not 230. Still not swimming.
I got in a good workout this morning. I pulled my hamstring on Sunday and have been limping around ever since, but felt good enough to walk for 45 mins today. Our closet is finally painted, so I spent several hours putting it back together. Also packing for our vacation. It's always fun when we get there, but renting a house in this area means we bring all linens and towels. Linens for bed sizes that we don't have here. So digging out sheets and rewashing, etc.
We are lounging around. DS is still in his pjs. DD and I spent a little while in our new Adirondack chairs, reading by the pool. DH just vacuumed and DS used his sword to fight the evil vacuum. DH took the detachable part off to “fight” with him. I actually got it on video and omg the cuteness.
We are about to go swimming, then eat El Paso burgers (turkey burgers made w taco seasoning, roasted red peppers, and green chilis, topped with queso) and hot dogs for the kids. I love El Paso burgers more than any other burger. And that is saying something. I’m a burger fiend.
We finalized our master bathroom stuff today. Now we are on to “easier” things like the sinks and cabinet handles. These are our final selections. Large decorative tile on floor White wavy shower tile Small stone tiles on shower floor And quartz countertop.
You guys my H is the most brilliant person and then we’ll you read a out this morning. Now he is running the oven self clean. It is 95 here. I don’t get how someone so brilliant as him can be sooo dumb. Good thing I love him.
What are you doing to the bathroom? Did you decide to repaint or just redecorate?
Ours is a typical 90s bathroom complete with jetted oversized tub and carpet. So, we are gutting it. We hired a contractor to do the work but are designing it ourselves. I’m ready for it to be done and we haven’t even started demo yet!
Just redecorate. The bathroom was redone by the previous owners right before we bought it. While I probably would have picked other cabinets they are OK. I like the tile. The color is not my favorite but I don’t hate it and DH likes it. I was just bored with it and trying to make it more functional for 4 people to share. We have another bathroom, but not another tub/ shower.
I still can’t find a rug I like. But I did swap out the artwork to something far more interesting and bigger. And I got more interesting towels. That’s as far as I got for today, but it is helping.
Oh and I got a ton of command hooks for the bedrooms and bathroom to hang up our robes and make the hooks lower for the kids towels. The kids didn’t really have new towels either. They outgrew their toddler towels and were just using old non matching towels from like 2003. 😆

We didn't do much today. Just had a cookout at my brothers with a few of his friends, my mom and some cousins with boys around ds's age. DS had so much fun. He rarely gets to play with boys his own age and had 2 there tonight. He was also super sweet with my new nephew. He may drive me crazy but he really is the sweetest little boy. Also got to see a girl who I strongly disliked in hs and she still sucks. She glared at me upon arriving at my brothers house, ignored her kid to the point where I had to make her a plate food, and just kept staring at me awkwardly. Then of course my dd went up to her and wanted held by her so we are going to have to work on her judgement of character lol.
Now I'm home eating party leftovers and drinking wine while watching will and grace on hulu. Back on the good eating wagon tomorrow.
