Mid Week Randoms

[penguin129]

I have to go on a Walmart run in a bit. We're running low on toilet paper of all things. I might try and stop at the park a bit before going there. Not much else planned for today.

I talked to the mom who created the Stay at Home Preschool Group and the other mom that helps me with it and they both agreed it would be fine to add you ladies on. I know younglove316 and icequeen said they'd like to be added. Please send me a PM with your Facebook info so I can look for you and add you to the group. This way you ladies will be able to follow what we do and I won't have to post in two places.

Thanks penguin! Sending you my info!

We have storytime today and free play at the library. I want to get a good salad and sushi today for lunch. I have to make a few phone calls, too, when my mom gets here. I'll go running bc im trying to lose some PP weight as well.

In other news, Dd is potty trained!! We sometimes have accidents overnight, but rarely. Im so proud of my big girl. She's 2.5 this month and has her dr well visit and preschool checkup this friday.

Dh comes home from his work trip this friday night. Hopefully we can do something fun this weekend. Maybe the zoo or the beach.

icequeen Congrats on the potty training!! I haven't used cloth diapers for DD in almost a month. She still wears diapers at night and most naps, but is dry most of the time when she wakes up. It is a different world for sure having a potty trained toddler

Oh ok I thought you were going to have 2u2 for some reason. I don't think that's on the older side. There are actually lots of 3 yo not trained yet in dd gymnastics class and speech clinic.

Crazy morning with DD moving into advanced French which is on a new day... so I had a baby-sitter for DS since it was her first time. Then gymnastics on the regular day but DD was tired from French. DS gets to play in the gym during DD's class if we pay $7, and so I did. Now the in-laws are here and it's very hot so DD is swimming in a little pool and DS is playing in the water table. Sigh. I was going to quit gymnastics for the summer but they offer unlimited classes for the price of one in the summer. I was going to quit French, but the kids are moving up. Now I don't know... I was hoping for a light schedule with a lot of playdates but there are events going on everywhere plus now we are considering classes. DD is begging to take ballet too. Ugg.

In other news, these terrible invasive species stink bugs are invading our house...one is buzzing around the blinds right now but they are big and it is so gross to kill them.

[younglove316]

penguin129 I will send you my information, thank you so much!

icequeen that is so awesome on the potty training! DD1 is almost 27 months and we haven't even started yet. She gets the potty but says no to going on it.

We spent a few hours at the zoo which was nice. Now per usual DD2 is fighting sleep and has slept a grand total of 20 minutes since 930. This frustrates me probably way more than it should. Oh and our air conditioning is broken so it's miserable in here.

[icequeen]

brachysira, ugghhh those bugs sound so nasty!! We've got a busy summer w kids signed up for activities, not playdates. Mainly bc I dont really talk to the other moms :/ maybe ill find some friends this summer, who knows.
younglove316 we started at 26 months and now dd is 30 months. Im sure she'll get the hang of it! Just keep trying.

It is pouring outside. There goes my afternoon run. GDI.

Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting more....life has just been a little crazy lately with lots of family drama. I'm hoping the drama is going to clear up soon.

Does anyone have any fun plans for this weekend? I'm going out tomorrow night with a friend...I think some shopping therapy and dinner is on the agenda. Sunday my band is playing at the cemetery for their annual Memorial Day ceremony. Other than that, I don't think we have anything else going on.

[brachysira]

@auri, I might do some online shopping--I have zero shopping friends--jealous!

It's going to be hot with possible thunderstorms and there are so many choices. Splash pads opening, beach, camping, baby pool in the yard, nature center, parades. DH wants to hire a baby-sitter so we can get chores done We do have to clean up because playdates at our house next week and the yard could use some serious work, and DH is probably behind with a big work project, but still, not exactly the most fun plans.

[icequeen]

@auri, sorry about the dramz. That sucks. I hope you can distance yourself as much as possible. Have fun with your friend, you deserve a day out!
brachysira, I can't wait until the splash pads open up this wknd, dd loves those!

Dh will be home this wknd so I hope we can have a fun outing to the zoo or beach. I might meet up with a friend who's coming to town. We really need to go grocery shopping.

[younglove316]

@auri sorry about the drama, hopefully it's over with soon.

We are going to a day out with Thomas tomorrow evening and Saturday I'm having a garage sale. I'm really hope to get rid of a lot of stuff, we just have too much.

Why do I hear about splash pads but don't have any near me?? I feel like I'm missing out on something fun for the kids.
younglove316 - good luck with your garage sale. It always feels good to part with stuff.

I just discovered the closest ones to us are about 20 minutes but it's a good time. Some areas have all this really cool stuff and I feel like we don't have much here.

Hi everyone! I introduced myself awhile back on the intro thread but never actually started posting here. I'm excited to see some familiar faces from GKU on here.

Yeah and it reminded me that even though I did an intro I hadn't started playing yet

Hope things are going well!

teraiin, Welcome!

These splash pads sound pretty neat. I looked but they only one near me is in another town and they charge $12 a day for non residents. Oh well, maybe when DD is a little older and wouldn't want to leave after an hour.

Dd had her 2.5 yo ped visit today. She did so awesome! Im so proud of her. Last time we went to the ped w ds she had a total meltdown and completely mortified me. Were going for a walk to get some ice cream in a bit! Dh is coming home tonight but he just told me he's leaving again for most of next week. Goodie.

[icequeen]

Good luck w the garage sale younglove316, hope you sell some stuff!
@auri y'all have to pay for the splash pads?? That's crazy! Is it really fancy?

[icequeen]

penguin129 mobile wont allow me to compose a pm, only view them and reply. Can you shoote a pm and I can answer w my facebook info for the group?

[penguin129]

Sure icequeen

Thanks for thinking of me, ladies. Life has been crazy, one thing after another. We had a lot going on at the beginning of May, but I thought after Mother's Day, I would be able to start getting caught up from the hectic times (who am I kidding, I hadn't even fully caught up from the dang sinus infection that hit HARD all of April - lol). Well, barely into the week after Mother's Day, I get a call from a specialist hours away that they could see me that afternoon! Cue me literally throwing stuff together to hit the road. That appointment ended up being a game changer for me, which I was not expecting. Been trialling a medicine off and on since, and I definitely felt the "possible drowsiness." Still trying to get my house back in order on top of various other stuff we've had going on.

Hope all is well with all of you guys!
