Morning

6fsn · July 2014

How was the weekend?

Saturday am I took the kids to the Farmer's market so DH could stain. We went to BIL's for a bday cookout in the afternoon. It was meh. BIL is pissed that FIL wasn't there because FIL was working.

Sunday I shopped for cooking day and got all of our laundry done. I also cleaned up and started packing some of the kid's stuff.

Today I'm going to try not to get pissed at my sister. We were supposed to cook all day. It turned into "I'll be late because x,y,z." Late means 11:30 at the earliest. I was hoping to be done by 2 when my kids will melt down for nap. We had also planned a day to swim. She told my mom last week she won't make it. I get that she has something bigger going on that day, but she hasn't said anything to me and hasn't suggested an alternate date. I'm probably taking it too personally, but darn it was 2 days this summer and she can't be bothered.

Morning.

My knee still hurts and I'm fighting a damn summer cold.

Son's team won first place in the tournament. He has one more tournament this weekend and then that's it for his Little League career. *tear He'll try out for the next league up next month and play fall ball, so we still have more baseball this year.

The A/C in my van went out yesterday. Or I guess I should say, the blower wasn't blowing all of a sudden and I couldn't get it to come back on by banging the dashboard. My super awesome husband diagnosed and fixed the damn thing with a $13 part in under an hour while I napped. He really loves me, to work so fast to keep A/C in my life.

I need a weekend from the weekend.

Friday-DH and the kiddo went to hang with DH's OOT friend who was in town. DefConn and I got dinner and then watched Frozen (which he told me everything that was going to happen before it happened...he's such a turkey). We pretty much went to bed after that

Saturday-I woke up and cleaned house. DefConn and I headed out with my parents to look at houses (my dad wanted to tag along because he's barely seen my mom in the last week or so). We only got appts for 3, but drove by a few more. The three we saw won't work. There's one we drove by that DH and I are definitely interested in. We got home at the same time as DH and the kiddo. I went to a friend's house for a few hours to hang out.

Sunday-We woke up and cleaned more. My mom came over to do an Open House. We went shopping and got a screw removed from my tire. The Open House was successful. Lots of traffic and interest.

12:33am...the kiddo was up throwing up. And again at 3am. I've gotten very little sleep.

Oh and an offer is due in today.

::cautiously excited squee...a tired squee-let::

Yay, conn! ::fingers crossed for the offer::

Hope the kiddo is feeling better.

mrsconn23 · July 2014

He hasn't thrown up since 3am. I just went to check on him/rouse him to see how he was feeling, but he rolled over and didn't even crack an eyeball. I hope he just sleeps it off.

I seriously need a nap...and to go lysol some door handles.

:::fingers crossed:::

Mixed grill weekend.

That phone interview I had a few weeks ago, they went for an internal candidate. Poo. Ah well, the job search was going to be an extra challenge anyway. Onward!

We went to baseball on Friday. DD had a blast, all the way thru fireworks. And hate on ballpark food vendors, there were some really tasty things to be had there!

Saturday was DD dance class and errands out. Sunday was church and house chores and work catch-up...all that fun and staying up late caught up with DD and she passed out in the car around 7 or so

boo to DefConn. Hopefully it was a fluke (puke?).

Good luck with the offer.

mrsconn23 · July 2014

The kiddo says he's feeling better. Whew.

He and DH can bounce back from being sick really fast. It takes me and DefConn forever to get over stuff. My dad is the same way...When he's sick, he's really sick and he struggles. It sucks.

Between DefConn's whatever last week and now the kiddo, these kids better chill out. DH leaves Sunday for a week long work trip. I ain't got time for this.

6fsn · July 2014

oops kiddo was sick. Glad he's feeling better.

GBCK · July 2014

I'm migrainey, went to bed in tears at 8 pm with lots of drugs last night.
(Extra bad because, hi, I have a family amusement park excursion this week)

I helped make 100 cupcake toppers this weekend, so I have a scissors blister on my knuckle.

And I'm only doing a 3 day work week, huzza!

And my child looks like she lost a fight with a table again

PMeg819 · July 2014

Boo to all the sickness! This weekend was mixed. DH and I were slugs and got nothing done. DD has started crawling so my weekend was spent repositioning her to avoid her brother's toys. After awhile I gave up and let her eat them. DS has to learn. Sunday we went to FIL's house for his ex-wife's birthday. It was meh.

VarunaTT · July 2014

DH did end up getting poison ivy last weekend. And he's being a ginourmous baby about it. I'm trying to be kind and understanding, but life still has to move on. It's been a full week now, my patience is wearing out.

Finally conquered dish and laundry mountain, so my house is somewhat put back together after the June from hell. Now I just need DH to get his work crap cleared out of the garage so we can clean that out and get my garage back. He's going to have some come-to-Jesus moments with all of this crap he keeps saving.

I'm glad your kiddo feels better MrsConn. I also am excited to see what kind of offer you get.

This weekend was actually a whirlwind. Friday-I got to see H before he went to work because he was called off for his forced OT. He told me "we don't have much time to talk" and I told HIM "larger things have been solved quicker, lets get this done!".

Saturday, got some house chores done and also treated myself to a mani/pedi with a newer nail salon in town.

Sunday was a huge running around crazy town. H and I ran a few miles, had brunch, went to see his ailing gma, ran errands, and then had dinner/drinks/bbq with H's coworkers. We were there until 10:00 and H didn't fare so well after several beers and a cigar. Blech.

Now I'm sleepy and unmotivated.

mrsconn23 · July 2014

Ugh. False alarm on the kiddo. He's still down. Been mostly sleeping. I feel so bad for him. Just going through this 2 months ago, I know how horrendous he feels. He still hasn't puked since 3:30am, and has kept water and a popsicle down, but he's just miserable. Poor guy.

He thanked me for taking care of him last night. He's really just too sweet.

Ugh, I'm sorry, mrs.conn. DS just got over some nasty stomach bug that was going around here--not fun for anyone.

My dad's visit was fine. After all the discussion, when they had the kids Friday, all they did was take a walk around our neighborhood walking trails and go to the playground for half an hour. DS got a heat rash on his neck because it was like 90-some degrees and he runs hot, but all things considered, not bad.

The Woozle is killing me. Because my dad and his wife were planning to take the kids somewhere Friday, DH moved both car seats to their rental. That night, he decided he wasn't going to move them back until the following morning, and The Woozle said "Daddy, I think you should really move them tonight. It's better to get your work done now than to put it off and have to do it later." Which we've told her many times when she grumbles about picking up her toys, so she picked an inconvenient time to start actually believing us.

Also, I told her "I still can't believe you're five. How do you like it so far?" She said, "I like it fine but I would rather be 20." So I asked her what she would do if she were 20, and without missing a beat, she said "I would have candy before dinner like you did that one time, remember?"

Last, but not least, both of my kids were screaming at drop off this morning. DS is doing the whole separation anxiety thing--he used to be so chill about everything, now he doesn't even want me to put him down unless I'm within arm's reach. Meanwhile, DD earned a no-iPad consequence this morning for not listening when I told her to get in the car, so she sulked and complained all the way to school. When we got there, I told her to wait on the sidewalk while I unbuckled DS, and she stood there screaming "MOMMY DOESN'T LOVE ME!" Niiiiiiice.

We are so far behind on packing and we leave for the mountains Friday a.m.

Morning
