DH and I both have the itch to go on a vacation. This time of year is always hard, weather starts getting nice and there are no holidays or long weekends pretty much from Presidents Day to Memorial Day (well Easter but theres no day off for that). But given the kitchen reno, we probably don't have the budget for a real trip this year and its gotten much harder to leave the dogs since Max was diagnosed with diabetes. Maybe we can just get a hotel room in the city for a night and have one of our parents baby/dog sit.

I hope everyone had a nice mother's day.

I could not get up this morning, then dealt with crazy traffic on the way in.

I'm counting down until our short trip next week. (Wine festival in NC)

A hotel in the city would be nice! Or is there somewhere close by where you could go for a 3 day weekend?

*yawn* 3 nights of insomnia + a 5:30 wake up call this morning from child makes for a sleepy momma.

I have so much to do in the next 3.5 days, but here I am laying on the couch not napping and not being productive. I just can't give a darn.

Thanks for all the well wishes and T&Ps for my mom. We had a nice little visit yesterday. She seemed to be in a little bit better mood. They are placing a picc line today for long term antibiotics (about 6 weeks) which will hopefully do the trick.

I have laundry in, honey mustard chicken in the slow cooker for dinner and the dish washer running. My OOT sister is coming to visit for a few days to hang out with the girls so I am readying (is this a word?) the guest room. A load of towels is on my to-do list as well. The day after a few days of work is a house work catch up day. It's hard though when these girls won't stop fighting to get anything done in a timely fashion. However, I'm very blessed ro have them so no real complaints here.

[tortor4]

mmarie I'm glad your moms mood is improving! T&Ps that the picc line helps.

DD had her 15 month check up this morning. I wasn't expecting her to yet, but she seemed to remember that it was the place where she has to get shots. She was not happy. Poor baby. The nurse said that usually the 15 or 18 month check ups are when they start to put it together that they get shots there.

My mom used to board her diabetic dog (also named Max) at the vet when she went on trips. Cheaper than most boarding places and they could do his shots. Downside was less outside time.

Had a day date with H. Lunch and trying to see some tourist sites that were randomly closed again. Can't the cathedral elect a dean outside of visiting hours?

One nice thing about moving in a couple months is my sister lives in our new city and I can get her to babysit so we can do evening dates. We haven't gotten an evening sitter since our last sitter graduated medical school last summer.

[mmarie]

Do they get shots at their 15 month appt? With all this going on with my mom scheduling her appt slipped my mind and now can't get her in until middle of june. She will 16 1/2 months old. I hope it doesn't mess up the shot schedule too much.

[mmarie]

Wow dreemkin sounds like you've had a productive day!

[dmorgendorffer]

seamonster our vet doesn't board but when I was picking up their vaccine record to bring to the kennel back in March the receptionist mentioned that one of the vet techs does pet sitting, I had forgotten about it but that could be a good solution

[dmorgendorffer]

dreemkin when is your last day of work?

[cougarette]

mmarie I believe they do, but I'm not sure since we haven't had ours yet.

[tortor4]

mmarie yeah DD got two. I didn't quite hear what they were because DD was upset when the doctor was explaining it but I did hear that one of them was the last dose of something.

[tortor4]

dreemkin do you have a recipe you can share for that chicken? It sounds amazing and I'm in need of some new crock pot recipes.

The 16th!

[dreemkin]

Here's the recipe (it's from the back of my French's mustard container): 2lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, 3/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/2 cup honey. Arrange chicken on bottom of slow cooker. Combine mustard and honey and pour over chicken. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.

I don't know if it's going to be good but I can update tonight. I also added onion for flavor because I thought the recipe sounded a little plain.

[tortor4]

dreemkin yeah let me know how it turns out! Thank you!

LO went last week for her 15th month apt and got the varicella vaccine. The dr mentioned that they can have a reaction a week later bc it's a live vacation. Well LO has been a nightmare today. The injection site is all red. Anyone else have an experience like this?

[seamonster]

Still no phone. Going to call again today. Boo.

Bit so glad I have the Dropbox app installed on that phone and all my photos are backed up.

I got my phone. Customer service said on the phone it hadn't been turned in, but I went to the airport to check their lost and found and decided to ask the airline in person.

They'd had my phone since Sunday under the make and model. Which I always started the description off with. Customer service had told me they hadn't had any phones of the same manufacturer turned in.
