Just another Monday...

[purple]

I know many of you have a long weekend, but it isn't one here (although it is in England and Wales).

We've been to playgroup this morning. L is beginning to play more independently, but that comes with its own risks. She faceplanted today. Oh well!

We've just had lunch and we're off to the swimming pool shortly. It's three weeks since we've been swimming. Two weeks ago today I had my unwelcome hospital visit and surgery. I'm hoping L will enjoy being back in the water.

[Bluedaisy]

Have a great day purple! Was supposed to visit my parents today but me,lol and DH all have a stomach bug. DH still wants to go but I'd rather get my mom to come here.

[pghtruelove]

We're getting ready to go meet friends for the parade. I haven't been to my town's parade in years so I'm really excited for it! Not sure what we will do the rest of the day though.

[erbear]

I hope you have a lovely time swimming, purple!

I wanted to stay home and play with LO outside all day, but H's coffee pot broke, so I guess I'm going to get him a new one!

[mbjune13]

Not a long weekend here. Had a really busy weekend and I got to watch my nieces dance recital. The best part was the 3 year olds ballet. They are just too cute.
B start DC part time to transition for next week. I think she will be fine but I don't know about me. While she is gone I will be getting the house and yard ready for her party. My grandparents are coming on Wednesday with their camper so I a bunch of grass to mow where they are going to park. I hope I can get everything done!

[jillywilly]

Morning! DS stayed up late and woke up early, so I lucked into nap jail already this morning. Using my time wisely to catch up on RHONY while H tackles some of the repairs the buyers requested after their inspection. Going toy moms later for lunch and a swim. Happy Memorial Day!

Morning! Just a normal day here too.

I'm going to have to deal with Air Miles and my flight to Seattle in July sometime today. Somewhere along the way my flights all got changed and they put me on an impossible flight time. As in, my flights currently look something like, leave Saskatoon at 7:30, land in Calgary for layover at 8:55,leave Calgary at 7:45, land in Seattle at 8:40. None of those numbers are typos, I'm apparenlty landing in Seattle later than Calgary, lol! My airline specializes in time travel, fancy!

So now me and my sister both have to deal with trying to switch our flights up and it looks like it's only going to work if we change the city we fly out from. Which is fine, and I just hope it works. So wish us luck. I have been both laughing and stressed out about this since I randomly discovered it, and their customer service line was closed yesterday.

We've been to the grocery store, ordered a smash cake for pictures on Friday, and have taken some pictures for MIL to put in a patriotic frame she wanted to fill with pics of LO. Next up is some returns to Old Navy and a stop at the mall.

DD has also eaten at least 1/3 of a pint of blueberries this morning. She can't get enough!

[tiffbot]

Oh and DD learned how to tickle us this weekend and it's the cutest thing. She saw DS tickle my leg the other day and now she comes up with her cute little index finger wiggling at us making some high pitched "ti ti ti!" noise and I'll never get sick of it lol.

1. You're so on top of it this morning!
2. Lots of blueberries makes green poop so don't be alarmed if it happens.

[blueskiessmiling]

Today will be another fun day here. DD and I will do some food prep and cleaning after her nap, then we're all heading to a picnic at my sister's this afternoon. There will be 13 girls aged 13 and under there (11 of them are 6 and under!). DD has been cranky- she seems to have 3 teeth coming in at once- but we'll make the best of it.

[tjanca22]

Not much going on today for us. I decided to take on the backyard and dig up all of the overgrown weeds and such. I've been at it for 2 days now. Hopefully I can finish the back today and move on to the front. Pics to come later!
Yesterday DH and I volunteered to sell pull tabs at a local festival. All the proceeds will go to the non-profit that I'm part of. It was nice that MIL watched E and H and I had some time to just talk and reconnect. The weather was beautiful so it was a great day.

mrsmonogrammed, E has been known to eat an entire pint of blueberries in a day! Kid goes crazy for blueberries!

Hopefully all the 1st birthday parties went/will go well. Can't wait to see pictures

[prettymama36]

Enjoy your Monday off to all the US people!
I'm still recovering his morning after the last dance competition of the year this past weekend. So nice to be done for awhile now.
Regular day over here as well, cleaning up and maybe a trip to Costco later.

lol, to be fair my hair is in a messy bun and I have no makeup on, but I'm still calling it a win:) and good to know about the blueberry poop, I would have been like wtf did you eat?!

[sugarkissed]

mrsmonogrammed, My kids LOVE blueberries too, we buy the huge packs from Costco and they never last more than a couple days. +1 on the blueberry poop... and it's also kind of... seedy. Haha. Sometimes I have to do a bit of extra bum scrubbing to get the blueberries off. Gross.

[billyhorrible]

My goal is to get the house in order today- put away laundry, do some meal prep. And I need to make a
Michael's run. Then out to a brewery this afternoon.

[sugarkissed]

Our mom and tot class today is doing gymnastics... only baby siblings aren't allowed to be worn in carriers due to the insurance policies... so they are supposed to just play nicely on the floor or be held in our arms.

Yeah, right. B tries to fling herself out of my arms and climbs everything in her vicinity. This should be interesting and we may leave early.

[Deleted]

I have no idea what we are doing today and I love it. I need a day off to recover from gearing up to and surviving the party. Once I catch my breath I have to switch to getting DS1 ready to leave for Europe and the rest of pack for a four day bluegrass festival. This summer is going to go too fast.

[musicfrk2002]

My baker sent me this as an idea for our cake:
1. How the heck would you cut that to serve it?
2. Idk about any of you, but I couldn't behead cookie monster.

[musicfrk2002]

Nothing too exciting here today. Some cleaning, bringing J to my parents house this afternoon for a bit, and going to target for some things.

[mirage86]

billyhorrible, Michael's has a coupon for 20% off your entire purchase including sale items today. Not sure how else to get a coupon, but I use an app called Shopular that gives me coupons for tons of stores and lets me see their weekly ads.
No plans for us today. I might try convincing DH to grill some venison steaks tonight.

[mirage86]

Mini PSA: Target Beauty Boxes are up this morning. This month there is also a $5 men's box.

[wegrowsheep]

A ballet mom who recently started attending church with her DD and H sent me a FB friend request last night, and I accepted it. First things I read from her updates is that DD is feeling better after spending Saturday night puking. And comments from her friends whose children have been sick in the last couple days.
They were all at church yesterday morning. WTAF.. She's a 4th grade teacher, so I expect her to know better. She posted AFTER church, at 3pm, that "DD is not puking anymore, but still tired."

Keeping sick kids home is one of my hills, especially now. I'm not sure what to say to her, if anything. It makes me super ragey though.

Silver lining though: I figure if I get sick and spend several hours puking, I can go ahead and help make the extra birthday cake disappear.

[purple]

wegrowsheep, that makes me feel rageous, and I'm thousands of miles away. Not funny.

L has conked out after swimming so I'm in nap jail with tea and chocolate within reach. I hope she sleeps for a long time...

An update for those that are following my ear issues. Apparently I ruptured my tympanic membrane. I have had many surgeries on this particular ear because of an accidental rupture after ear surgery. Last tested this ear only had 10% hearing. I have to find an ENT tomorrow to figure out if I'll need surgery or not.

So sorry to hear this! It certainly explains your dizziness.

So sorry to hear this :-( Good luck, whether or not you end up needing surgery!

I'm so sorry. At least this explains the dizzy spells but ugh for having to go through this. All the love and leep us posted.

[musicfrk2002]

Going through some random buckets. Found a newborn sized diaper. Did our babies really fit into these once upon a time??? Next to a size 4 for comparison

[erbear]

I'm glad you got an answer, stinybean!

LO is also being super cranky today. Loads of tantrums and, right now, a nap refusal.
