Midweek Moms

lilyelayne so true!
aggiebug I'm sorry to hear you're struggling consistently. I wish there was something more effective that your doc could do!

It was a very nice day outside again today. I was able to get back to the gym this morning after two weeks (due to illness and spring break). I was glad to be able to. A and I got to play some frisbee in the backyard this afternoon after she helped me with some laundry. And now I'm going to start dinner.

Rough day today. Started out being sidelined by a random man news article that turned out to hit very close yo hone, then 360 feedback at work was tough to hear, then V was tugging at my bad mom guilt strings after work.

But things are brightening up. Both boys played in the mud for a half hour and are now showering to clean up and pizza is on it's way to my house.

Hugs kartish. Hope bedtime is easy for you.

Every time I have to log back in to the forum I’m afraid it’s gone again!

Walking into bible study now. Just a few more weeks left in this study.

I don’t know if I said that we got our back patio expanded a few weeks ago. We’re getting part of it covered today! Then we can finally pull the grills & smoker out of the garage and arrange them in their new home. Excited!

[dreemkin]

kartish I hope all is well now!
lilyelayne that's awesome about your patio. I would love a screened in porch because bugs are so bad here. Our last estimate was insane though because we were told that we'd have to set a new foundation before building on top of our current deck. And in my mind, if we're gonna do that we might as well put on an addition (or an all seasons room) for that money!

Today I had my annual physical. I get anxious for doctor visits for some reason. But everything turned out just fine (besides my fast heart rate due to that) and I actually didn't even have a pap or bloodwork! All looked well according to my doc. I'm glad that's done for another year. My parents came to watch Anna so we hung out with them for a bit after. We had a (small size) hail storm this afternoon which was pretty cool.

Had a good day home yesterday. V wanted to paint first thing in the morning and was having so much fun creating new colors by mixing the paint. Then A wanted to paint and was so serious about it, it was fun to watch.
Gym time last night and then leftovers for dinner.

Today is back to work. I was supposed to set up a carpool with my friend but forgot, so we wouldn't have to drive two cars home for the end of season party tonight, but oh well.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin screening in the back porch is our next outdoor project we’re saving for. Probably a couple years out, though.

kartish have fun at the party!

We had parent teacher conferences at S's preschool today. It was fun to listen to them talk about my kid and see who she is away from us (about exactly as I expected). I am glad to know she seems to use her strong personality for good that was my biggest concern 🤣. It was really fun to hear what they have to say and put together what I have seen at home and realize just how much she has blossomed this year.

Today was a pretty normal day but I forgot A's snack for preschool and felt horrible. Mom guilt. Luckily theu had some things to give her. The end of the year is proving to be a forgetful one for me 😒

Went to the gym today even though I'm getting flustered. Vent time: I have hit a plateau again on weight loss. It's just frustrating when every day for 3 weeks I hope and expect the scale to go down and it's the same - bouncing between two numbers. Even when trying different things in diet. Unfortunately I can't really change my exercise portion because if I do, it aggravates my knee and I need it feeling good for Disney. Why do I sound 50yo? I lost 30lbs but I have more to go and it's maddening! Beside venting to you, I will suffer in silence 🤦‍♀️

[aggiebug]

I am sorry dreemkin that is frustrating.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin it is so frustrating to work so hard and not see results. Hope you get through this plateau soon!

The part was fun, a lot of deserving people won awards.

I got my brother's graduation announcement today. His commencement starts at nine pm. Seriously, why so late?

[lilyelayne]

kartish nine pm?! And most commencements are so long. That’s bizarre.
