1.) Just got home from the beach last night have eleventy thousand things to accomplish and very short time to do it in 2.) I have a death cough, no other symptoms just a terrible and annoying cough, screwing with my life and sleep, GO AWAY! 3.)Just remembered it's father's day Sunday add doing something about that in the midst of accomplishing all in number 1, before going to my brother's for the weekend for my neice's birthday.
1. We are going on our first camping trip of the year this weekend. 2. DH's grandparents are in town all week. DH is so nice running interference by taking the boys to them each morning and letting me sleep in. They love to just show up at our house. 3. DS2 is still vomiting every couple days and the pedi said they seem like "isolated incidents" and there's nothing they can do. Poor kiddo.
1. I put in for all my time off for the rest of the year 2. I really hate working lately. I miss my babies like crazy 3. T slept through the night again last night! I had to wake him to eat before I left. He wasn't very happy with me!
1) i found a gym for $8 biweekly and it looks nice, it just doesn't have amenities like sauna, childcare, towel service etc... Going to check it out today 2) the ILs left yesterday, DS is really going to miss them 3) I've had a cough for 2 weeks and i can't seem to shake it
1. Ds was up at 5 and wouldn't go back to sleep for 40 mins, but then he slept in til 7:30. I woke up at 7:20 to the sounds of Dh taking Dd to the bathroom. That's my version of sleeping in.
2. It's hot. Went for a walk before it gets too hot, but really it was too hot already.
3. If I can get ds to take a nap I'll fill up the kiddie pool again.
4. Anyone take 2 kids to a big pool by themselves? How does that work?
5. Need to go food shopping, but can't figure out where to fit that in.
comicSans you would be brave to take 2 to the pool by yourself. We went to the aquatic center on Sun and both of us were necessary at certain times. I think maybe if the little was walking it would be easier. Or if your big listens better than mine!
1. Peyton slept the whole night and I went to get her at 6:00 when I get up and she jumped out of bed all energetic and was in a great mood all morning! Clearly she needs more sleep and I feel bad for keeping her up to see her when I don't get home until 7:00
2. Visiting my parents for Sunday and I might drive right after work on Saturday and stay the night.
3. Want this week over as I have my second week of vacation starting Monday!! Also will have a few kid free days as my parents want her over the weekend until Tuesday.
4. My porch looked really good this morning and I wish I was home today to do the second coat on it. I want it done before my vacation and still have the other half to do.
1. Hot AF again 2. DS1 starts gymnastics this weekend. It should be interesting based on his attempts at cartwheels and somersaults last night. I just hope he behaves for the teachers. 3. I need vacation ideas. But it needs to be within driving distance and not more than 5 hrs away. It really limits things.
1. I'm wearing a maxi skirt today, which is completely unlike me. Trying something new. 2. It's so hard to get the kids to go to sleep when the sun is still out. Eliza said yesterday that it's morning, the sun is out. 3. Because of #2 they are not very pleasant in the morning and that makes for a not great start to the day. 4. I'm looking forward to next week for no activities for DD1. She has basketball and gymnastics every day this week. They are far enough apart that she won't get worn out. One at 8 and one at 5.

I thought it might be easier now before he's walking and I have to chase him! Dd is afraid of the pool so I'm picturing just sitting on the steps with her, with ds in one of those baby floats. I don't think it's open until late afternoon right now anyway so I can wait to try it out with Dh some evening or weekend first and see if I think it will be manageable. Its at the end of our street so it would be an easily accessible, free thing to do some days if I can manage it.
1. G woke up screaming and crying this morning. I asked her what was wrong and she started yelling, "I need to go Kroger, I need bananas!" The life and times of a three year old.
2. A finally started walking on her own last week and is already climbing things. Eek.
3. I'm upset that it keeps raining and is so hot and humid, we can't get the pool clear. I guess it doesn't really matter though since we can't swim because it rains nearly every day. #FWP
4. Was on the fence about going because I don't feel like driving, but we're going to VA next week for my grandfather's birthday. It's only about 8 hours so hopefully the drive won't be too painful.
1. I'm worried about DH. He has had a bit of setback. 2. Work is making me crazy. I'm waiting for a project to finish up and the anticipation of the results is killing me. 3. I need a vacation. I'd love to plan something for this summer but DH has so little vacation time and we're already taking a few days to go down to my dad's.

I think what you described sounds very doable. It would have been impossible at the aquatic center since it's like a mini water park. For example, Ds1 refused to come down from one of the water slide structures so I had to go get him and I couldn't have done that unless I had H there to take the baby. Also floats were prohibited so that sucked. But a small neighborhood pool? Sure I'd do it.

I'm sorry about the setback. How are you doing with everything?

Obviously not a solution for today, but if he's light enough you could get a mesh ring sling and wear him in the pool. A lot of people use them down here.

Oh yeah, no to that. I once had to climb up a play structure, wearing ds, because Dd wouldn't come down a slide and couldn't climb back down the way she'd gone up. I had to carry both kids down and navigate around a toddler coming up who didn't understand to wait or that she was in our way. Water slides are not in our near future.

Yeah, when I take the kids to the pool, we go during toddler hours where only the kiddie pool is open. Sooo much easier to keep track of them. Of course I have two mobile babies now, so it may be more trouble than it's worth

Feel free not to answer if I'm being intrusive.
No, you are not being intrusive, I brought it up...
I'm pretty worried. His symptoms are pretty bad. At least he is being honest with me about it. He spoke to his psychiatrist today who made some recommendations with respect to the medication and they moved up his appointment to next week. I suggested he start seeing a therapist in addition to the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is just to deal with the meds, whereas a therapist could help him talk through it and identify coping mechanisms. He is going to talk to the psychiatrist about it. He is withdrawing from everyone because the paranoia is making it difficult for him to trust people. I've noticed that he hasn't been hanging out with his friends and he said it's starting to affect his relationships at work as well. He is going to try to cut down his caffeine intake and exercise more, which should help with some anxiety. It is going down the path of his major breakdown but at least he is being honest and engaging the right people this time but it's still concerning.

lrmrtn I am so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you and him. It is a good thing he's being open and honest with you about where he's at and I really hope he can see a therapist soon.
I'm thinking of you all. If there is anything we can do, just ask. We want to help in any way we can.
1. First day with the new hire, she quit by lunch. Terrific. 2. Up side is that now I won't need to go out of town anytime soon. 3. It's supposed to storm tonight, shocker. 4. Going to call insurance and see if we can get money for the hail damage to our car since it's fully covered. Anyone done this? How does insurance work after that? No idea if the hail damage will total it or not. Obviously it still drives so will they still insure it if we got paid out?
emmygirl, definitely call if your damage is substantial. It can't hurt to ask. I don't know if weather or situations out of your control would necessarily raise your rates. But that's what insurance is for so at least look into it. I imagine it's like an accident. They'll come out and assess and get a quote on fixing. Then pay out depending upon your deductible. Then it's your job to actually get it fixed. If it's enough damage that they total it, then they give you a payout I believe.

Was it an entry level job? What happened? I really don't understand going through all the trouble of getting hired and onboarded and then walking out Day 1.
