A willow tree of course! I think we may be adding some "storm like" colors behind it and possibly a slight rainbow. Technically she is a rainbow baby and weathered the storm. Willow trees are the strongest trees meant to withstand all natures forces as did she. She stuck even though we thought we lost her more than once! It's will take up most of my upper arm so it's a big commitment!
pixiepink24 I always wanted to get a Willow tree in my thigh!
I debated the thigh. But I already have one thigh tattoo and know what I want on the other thigh. Plus I really wanted my tattoo for her to be somewhere she can see constantly and I can display anytime.
I still haven't seen Trolls or Moana...or Sing for that matter.
We made a target run then stopped by chick-fil-a because I had a card for a free nugget meal. The girl screwed up big time and sent the order in for two nugget meals (correct except she took it as grilled) and two sandwiches (never even asked for that). The card clearly said nugget meal OR sandwich meal. It screwed everyone up and DS2 was screaming in his seat. Fun times. Now I need a nap.
jnetx, all the Benadryl made me sleepy, but otherwise I'm all good today. Going to make an allergy Dr appointment for myself though. I need to be better prepared in case I'm the only adult around.

We're watching Trolls tonight! Mac chose it and I'm pretty excited
We have one vehicle packed! The second is being packed tomorrow. It still doesn't feel real. After 7 years of wanting to go back home it's finally happening! This is the furthest H had ever lived from home, it'll be such a big adjustment for him but definitely a good one, he's going to love it!

We went for a little hike this morning at a state park. We took a picnic lunch and had the perfect weather. I think we all had fun! Mom is coming up this evening and we're taking her out to dinner. Pretty great weekend so far!
We are having my mom, brother, SIL, and nephew over tonight. I am doing brunch for dinner. Sausage, egg, and cheese bake, overnight blueberry French toast bake, bagels and smoked salmon, fruit salad, and lots of cheese and crackers.
Dylan used to love Moana but maybe she overwatched it because she isn't interested anymore. Her current favorites are the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Grease and Grease 2. I need more musical suggestions for when she's over those. We tried the sound of Music and while she liked the singing she wasn't interested in the other parts of the movie

His team won the playoff game! They played so well, and my boy caught a beautiful pop fly for the first hit of the game. It completely threw them off their game, and he ended up with the game ball. I'm so proud of that kid. He's as difficult as they come and makes me work for it, but he's really learning to channel his energy into something good. DS2 played pretty well today, too!
Kara is finally napping after an epic meltdown after the games. She's been such a trooper, but she is 100% ready for baseball season to be over!
R had another allergic reaction today... just after lunch with no new food or known accidental exposures. What freaked me out the most was (as I was getting the Benadryl) when he said "mouth hot" which to me would indicate burning or tingling. It cleared up with the Benadryl thank goodness but this was not a step in a good direction.
My mental health is not in a good place over this these days.
Both bigs are complaining of belly aches to the point that they wanted to leave the mall and the movies. Fx they are just really, really tired and not sick!

beepers hugs for your rough day. I cannot imagine how stressful that would be. I hope your Mother's day is more relaxing.
ashiscute, should I tell you that we listen to the trolls soundtrack daily? Viv and DD1 are having a trolls birthday. Viv is obsessed with trolls and I love it too. But we love Moana as well. We listen to that soundtrack daily. I constantly have music playing in the house because I hate silence.

We had a crazy busy day today. I ran this morning and wore pants with a zipper pocket in the back. I stuck a box of nerds in there for any blood sugar issues. That was a huge mistake because I could hear it jiggling over my music. I ran by the same woman three times. I wonder what she was thinking.
Then I took the kids to a playdate at the park. They were amazing and so loving there. Then we had a birthday party, went to visit DH at work, went to the grocery, Chick-Fil-A, and ended the day with a bath. I feel like I earned my wine this evening since I did that all solo. DH worked from 9 this morning and just called to tell me he is on his way home.
TL;DR I ran with what sounded like a maraca in my bum this morning.

@katechristine18 - that looks amazing! Recipe? beepers - urg that's so frustrating. I hope you have no more surprise reactions. Kids (and dog) were up around 6:00 this morning b/c DS2 woke up and decided to play with a whistle. You can guess where that ended up. :/ Drove down to visit with my mom for Mother's Day and it was pretty uneventful. Long day though. As soon as we got home and ready for bed Noah puked all over me. Figured no fever maybe a fluke until he puked on me again about an hour ago. Still no fever, but yay, Happy Mother's Day to me! I'm guessing church won't be happening tomorrow and DH will probably avoid Noah since he's sick and I still won't get much of a break even on Mother's Day. *sigh*
I'm beat, but my brain is awake. I just got home from a 16 hr workday. H took the girls to an indoor bounce house place and it looked like they had a great time. They also both napped for over 90 minutes, which never happens. I'm so jealous!!

We have the movie and soundtrack and the big kids love it so we listen to it a lot. Sam is completely indifferent and I am very over it. But we also listen to Moana every day and I still love it.

Happy mothers day to me. Hunter was awake for over 4 hours during the night, H decided to go sleep on the couch and leave me with both boys in my bed. Mac peed the bed and Hunter of course woke up screaming again and basically hasn't stopped yet. Mac did make me a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, a card, and the sweetest flower craft ever that he made with the babysitter now I intend to pack and take a nap when the bedding is washed and dried.
Side note, should I take Hunter to walk in tomorrow? He had a fever last weekend for about 3 days. Then it moved to a cold and bad rash on his face. He's been up most of the night every night since. He has a cough, once he gets coughing he eventually throws up a ton of mucous. I've been giving Tylenol, motrin, and benadryl to try and dry him out, occasional ventolin at night. He won't let me look at his throat. Usually I don't worry, but this is getting ridiculous and I need sleep, 4 straight hours of screaming is not normal for him. There's no walk in today and I work tomorrow during walk in hours so I'm not sure if I should clear an appointment to bring him in or not.

Happy Mother's Day!
Viv is crying because she has to take off her nightgown. Ds is crying because he has 'tight pants' which is any pant like jeans or khakis. At least Dd1 is happy and ready for church.
I got to sleep in until 6:15, got up with both boys by myself, and so far the words happy Mother's Day haven't even been uttered. We'll see how the day progresses. Off to shower and go grocery shopping with no one touching me!
My middle made me avocado toast and coffee in bed. H and AB are back; H looked like a zombie so I sent him to bed. The zoo is free for moms so maybe we'll head there today?
My husband got me a gift card to my favorite nail salon, a new coffee maker, and a new travel mug. I haven't had my nails done in ages so I am pretty stoked. Woop!
