Fri-Yay!

[k3am]

I would much rather go to Mom's & Margs than a PTA meeting. (I mean not that I can make the mid-day PTA meeting anyways..)

The girls and I are headed to a family cookout today with my extended side. My mom explicitly told me she didn't tell people that we are splitting up, so that will be awkward to navigate all day.

Tomorrow my sister and I are bringing the girls to Kidz Bop Live. I can't wait! It's their first real concert, we made matching shirts, and the whole thing is a surprise for DDs. We're not telling them until we get in the car. It's going to be so much fun!

Dh is racing this weekend but the boys and I are staying home. Tonight we have a big party at church with bounce houses and stuff and then tomorrow is our block party. I have to fit in some work too but that’s annoying so I’m ignoring it.

Saturday I have a long bike ride, and then DS has been invited to a birthday party of a boy in his new school so we're definitely going to that.

Sunday I'm going to organize all public areas of my house to try to make myself excited about hosting a play date. We've done it before but not in a while and I feel like my house is ridiculously cluttered and not show ready to people who don't already think I'm fabulous. All this with kind of the aim of helping DS by hosting a play date with one of the kids from his school. I haven't decided which one yet and don't know if they'll even take me up on it, but if I don't invite them I'll never know I guess.

I’ve found that parents are thrilled to have play dates, especially if you host and if they can drop off kids. . Good luck!

H is out of town for another week so the girls and I are on our own. As I type this I am at a giant bounce house place with a crazed foam pit and slides. As per my negotiated agreement with the kids, I choose lunch after and I don’t want to hear any commentary on said choice.

Probably just a quiet day at home tomorrow. The upcoming workweek is busy for me and H won’t be home until the end of it so I want everything cleaned and everyone well rested before it starts.

OMG I am covered in poison ivy. Legs and arms. Never had it and I am miserable. It's supposed to get so hot over the next couple of days and it's going to feel awesome to be sweating with this rash.

Sunday we are having an honorary 100th birthday party for Katherine Johnson of Hidden Figures, who is DD’s idol. 5 girls from her class are coming and we will do theme foods and watch the movie. Probably the girls will go up to the playroom while the moms talk lol. But we’ll see.

akafred I forgot to thank you for the trip report!

I was going to read it to our friends who are coming w us, tonight at DS’s bday party. But he woke up really upset and cried. I was like....hmm.....he doesn’t seem right.

Then he barfed all over his car seat.

Reframe: we have no plans tomorrow and can have his small family party then. This also gives us downtime tonight.

It is Sunday morning and DH is snoozing. DS is legit playing with DD. She is in her play mat and DS is talking and showing her all of his cars. I am sitting on the couch drinking coffee. Couldn't ask for a better morning

I’m exhausted. We were gone from 8:30-6 yesterday. Breakfast, train walked 4 miles. Then the game. Walked another mile then Ubered back to the train station ...

I bought a car Friday but it wasn’t in stock so I guess I ordered a car Friday. Hopefully be inWednesday in the color combo we want. Had to go with boring silver because DH insisted on a black interior. The light gray he thought the kids would destroy and he’s not a beige / tan person. Went with the Honda CRV. They didn’t have the blue exterior that I wanted in a black interior.

You may be able to get a steroid shot to help clear it.
