Week of 8/6

[bk1]

Tomorrow me and the girls are heading to MIL's for the morning. After lunch I'll bring C home to nap and G will be staying at the IL's house for a couple nights.

A new house came on the market my mom is interested in so I think she is going to try and set up a viewing tomorrow afternoon. It looks like an awesome property so I'm hoping we get to see it soon.

Play group thing Friday, kid birthday Saturday, maybe family day trip on Sunday?

We have been staying extremely busy with kid stuff lately. Trying to fit in things before our friends get busy with school.

christy082 Ugh, hope you guys feel better soon! I'm terrified of picking that up from daycare!

Knocked out 2 doctor's appointments so far this week. Need to go switch out my company cars this afternoon. Otherwise, catching up on paperwork and bills.

Our water bill was insane, it tripled! They installed a new meter in July so the customer service rep tried to convince me that the new one was just more accurate. Lol, no. The meter cover is sitting in standing water and leaking so they screwed something up. They can't get out to fix until next Friday so they better plan on giving me a decent credit on my bill for their leak.

Also our neighborhood sewer project is apparently back on. It's only been 5+ years in the making. I only mention it because the sanitary board always signs their letters "very truly yours" which seems overly sentimental for an entity that literally handles your shit Got a letter today.

I think I slept funny because my shoulder is killing me. Feels like a pinched nerve. I'm really sick of this happening. It's giving me a really bad headache which is especially annoying because I'm exhausted today! Maybe H will let me nap in the car tonight, lol. I usually try to stay awake on long car trips, especially at night, to help keep him awake and focused.

Hope your shoulder/neck feel better estrellita! Have a great time on your trip!

I have run 4 out of the last 5 days! Not sure the last time that happened but it was probably in 2013! We got our run in today before it got too smoky (started getting bad on our way back home). I had planned to go to the lake but we are stuck inside due to the bad air quality (a Canyon is on Fire about 10 miles from us, since Monday and only 5% contained).

[christy082]

Sigh...now my husband has hand foot and mouth. Uggghhh

[awick14]

estrellita- I hope you feel better and the drive is going well.

luv2rn4fun- I hate that there are so many fires around you guys. I am starting to hate “fire season” here. It’s so frustrating. I hope you stay safe!

christy082- Urg! That’s so frustrating.

ewall- I hope they figure out the water meter soon. That’s horrible that your bill tripled.

I’m glad I’m halfway through my work week. (2 days to go) it’s been so hot here it’s exhausting!

Thanx ladies for all the well wishes!

[luv2rn4fun]

awick14- thank you! We should be fine...the fire started in a Canyon about 10 miles away (I was never really worried about it for us) but is now on the other side and threatening thousands of homes. One of my college friends family lives there and is evacuated and another friend (HS BFF) DH is one of thousands called to fight the fire. They are even having the planes fighting throughout the night as it’s only 5% contained.

They arrested an arson suspect that emailed the fire chief last week that the whole place would go up in flames (he also lived in the canyon where it started and his cabin was the only one not burned down).

My biggest personal concern has been for L with his asthma. Seems like air quality is better today so hoping we can get outside to do something (kept them inside after my run yesterday because I could smell the smoke).

[luv2rn4fun]

Air quality was so much better this morning so I took the boys with me for a run...6.6 miles with them and then another 0.5 mile when I got home! 20.1 miles for the week over 4 runs!

DH is golfing now. I need to go grocery shopping (will still need to go to another store tomorrow and Costco sometime this week) and make dinner once the boys are up from nap. Planning to make taco pasta for dinner and then banana pudding for dessert!

wineandcheese- how was MK!?!

[awick14]

That’s so frustrating luv2rn4fun

[wineandcheese]

luv2rn4fun it was a blast! We did so much! Thanks for asking. MIL and FIL really enjoyed themselves. It’s the first time they ever went without kids.
