I got myself up and out the door by 6:15 so I could sign DS up for swim. I was like tenth in line and got the last spot for the days I needed.
I have a nail appointment and then a birthday party later this afternoon. Hopefully the weather holds up and it doesn't start pouring! It's on a farm and DS is going to love it
melody330 that's crazy you have to stand in line to sign up for swim lessons! We do ours at the Y and they have an online registration.
Today we're going to the Renaissance Faire and then tomorrow just church and errands. I have some reports I have to finish up for my students this weekend so that will have to happen sometime.

Babysitting for my friend in a bind all morning, so I'm stuck to the house with three little girls. It's going to be wild but fun and if it's not too hot, I'll pull the wagon to the park.
DD saw a carnival being set up a couple days ago, so I may take her there this evening to totally waste a ton of money on baby rides and junk. She's not quite 4 but has a bucket list that includes carnival rides and trying cotton candy. She seriously mentions both regularly!

Fit4mom class this morning and then taking the car in to get the ac looked at. It's supposed to be like 90 here this weekend and the no ac in the car is killing me! Plus we just bought the car (used but still).
The rest of the time will be spent making a freezer meal and relaxing. Tomorrow we have nothing and I'm so excited.
Grandma kept my kid overnight I am leisurely doing some chores and unpacking. DH got home from his work trip last night and is exhausted so he's still in bed.
We have come to the conclusion that we need to re-home our dog due to her escalating aggression and other issues too complicated to get into. She's now starting to be aggressive toward me and it's scary. We hopefully have a new place for her with a relative who lives in the country who offered to take her. I don't know what to tell DD... She doesn't know about the dog killing our old neighbor's cat, and I don't want to make it sound like the dog was bad so we sent her away. I also don't want to place the blame on her baby sister. Honestly DD can't stand the dog 90% of the time but I'm sure she will be somewhat upset and ask a million questions.

Growing up I thought my dog got sent to live at a farm where he could be happy and have more room to play.
That's what my parents told me and I bought it.
I found out as an adult that the scars all over my hands are from the dog. My dad took him out to the country - pretty sure he never got to a farm...
I keep telling DH he needs to take the weed wacker to the back yard. I have been telling him this for over a month.
Our back yard would be beautiful if it was grass that was growing but no it is weeds......
Where does he start anytime he does yard work......the front......
I might need to give in and buy a mask so I can handle the weed smell and gas smell(from weed wacker) and do it myself. I don't see why he doesn't get that it is a huge fire hazard we have going on. Plus we have a neighbor who feeds our dogs treats who obviously sees this. Also the weeds are now bigger than our chihuahuas.

katelou I'm sorry you're dealing with that dog situation. I love animals so much but I'd absolutely rehome for aggression like that. It's also better for the stress of the dog if he's that tense.
Kids are pretty resilient. I'm sure she'll accept it if you tell her it was time for the doggy to live somewhere else. We put down our elderly dog last year (right as dd turned 3) and we had to talk about it a lot but she understood.

katelou sorry to hear about your dog. It sounds like you are making the right decision, as hard as that may be. I agree with cabbagecabbage that a simple "it's time for the doggy to live somewhere else" might be enough.

Took DS for a visit at my parents' this morning and ate lunch on our new patio.
DH did the final cuts for the patio and it's pretty much complete! Just some odd things to do to clean it up, and then onto yard cleanup. I wish I could help more. I think my contribution will be hiring the kids back who cut our lawn all last summer!
Also need to get rid of a huge pile of interlocking brick in our yard. I'm hoping if we post it online for free someone will come haul it away!

Went to a farmers market and bought a fishing pole for dh and coffee beans. Was hoping for some plants since it was garden expo week but all they had were succulents. Hello we live in the mountains, not the desert. I was expecting native plants.
My vag is swollen so sitting on tucks all day watching tv is the plan for the rest of the day.

Babysitting went well and my friend returned with really good al pastor tacos for me. She's pregnant too, so she knows what's up! Now I'm laying in a not too hot bath willing work to cut my shift tonight. They should have never mentioned I'd most likely get cut yesterday or I'd be fine. Now that I have the idea in my head, I want to stay home and sleeeep!
Ran a race this morning - fun despite it being super hot. It's daddy/son morning today so I did a ton of errands after the race. Can't remember the last time I got to run errands alone. It's kind of heavenly! Now I'm sitting on the couch doing nothing just waiting for H and DS to get home. Good day so far!
melody330 does your swim school make every swimmer an Olympian? I can't imagine swim lessons being so intense to get into!
katelou best of luck with the dog situation. Sounds like you're making the right decision though.
katelou sorry to hear about your dog. Hopefully it's not too hard on your DD.
We just got back from a graduation party and I almost exploded from having to hear how big I am a thousand times. Thankful for my H who kept telling people I look great. Really makes me excited for the million other things we have to go to this month, not!
On a crazy note my due date is exactly a month away, whoa.
rungirlrun I wish! we live by the beach and there is constantly water around, so everyone makes sure their kids learn to swim ASAP. DS will be a little over 2.5 by the end of the summer and he will know how to swim without any floaty devices. They are great!

Enjoy your new patio!
FWIW I have gotten rid of everything from used mattresses to an 85 y/o door by posting them in the Craigslist free section.
rungirlrun major props to you for running this late in the game! I could barely handle walking around the farmers market today! You are awesome!
Thanks! I'm not sure how much running I have left in me though. I felt fine during the run, but my crotch would say otherwise as it still hurts 12 hours later.

That's awesome! Yeah, I'm super pro learning how to swim at a young age. DS is in swim lessons, and it's one thing I have no problem dropping money on even though the place he goes is a bit more expensive than I'd want. But it's great so he will be going until he can swim. I just still can't believe how intense it is to get into lessons around you!
Sunday is starting out pretty shitty. My parents dog got into something toxic on Friday, and by this morning he passed away. They are fantastic pet owners and have had dogs all my life. DS loves this dog, so this will be hard when he asks where he went.

Another rough sleeping night here with DS, this time because he had a really high fever when I went to check on him before bed. Not sure what's going on. His fever is down this morning, but still there. He's eating fine, playing no problem, but he does have a cough. Just laying low today.
Well today I got asked if I was having twins by a check out lady.
So I was in line at CVS and there was a lady in line behind me with her pregnant friend. Their loud convo goes like this: Pregnant friend: Kenny says my belly is small for 8 months. Random Lady: Yeah compared to other ones I've seen you are super small. *eyeballs me* PF: Yeah I think it's small too, but I just eat right and stay active. I don't just lay around and get fat. RL: That's a good way to do it, that way you don't have a bunch of extra weight to lose. *looks at me again*
I was so close to turning and being like "Well I'm having twins in a little over a week and haven't been eating anything and my belly has still gotten big. Maybe I should try some cross fit so I don't keep getting fat." But I just kinda chuckled and waddled my ass out of the store.
