I've been looking forward to today. It's the Sunday school prize service at church, followed by a picnic, and then the cast party after H's show, also with a picnic. Families are always invited and I used to do this annual show before H got involved, so I'm excited about seeing friends. Then, although H is out for bedtime, he'll be back by 8.30 instead of 11, so I won't have to do all the jobs.
I'm still looking forward to all that, but I've been awake since 4.20 with period cramps, a wakey baby, severe leg cramps, and more wakey baby. It's nearly eight o'clock now so almost time to get up, and H and baby are both snoring.

It's 2:30 am and I'm awake. Fell asleep putting T down and woke up to put on pj's about 30 min ago and of course DS1 just woke up and wants snuggles.. Yesterday was busy with a dress rehearsal for ballet and then Relay for Life (ran 5k). Today will be chilling at the IL's after church and making pizza.

I'm laying on the couch waiting for coffee to be ready. C has been getting up about an hour and a half earlier than normal. Boo Other than that just going to the grocery store and Costco today and will finish up my 20 million loads of laundry from our house guests last weekend.

We are attempting to leave town again today. Our last attempt we found out the trailer we had packed to move had axles that needed replacing. So we had to come home and completely repack our belongings. On top of that our realtor called to schedule a house showing yesterday. I told H we need to redo mine and A's birthdays when we make it to our destination because the last few days have been hell. Definitely not birthday material.
I hope you start to feel better purple and enjoy your eventful day.

I'm about to head out and meet a friend for a 5 mile run. I do a terrible job of eating and drinking when I'm hosting a party, so I'm dehydrated and have a headache. This run should be...fun.
Then we're supposed to head up to see my cousins who are visiting from across the country. I don't want to go. It's a long drive and I'm tired. But I feel like we should.

Booooo to a bad axle. At least it happened befor you left instead of somewhere along the way. I think that you should make it a goal to stop and meet as many J15 moms & babies as possible while you drive across the country and through Canada. It might make your trip a bit more bearable. I'm trying to imagine running that by my H. Let me know how the suggestion goes with yours :-)
Currently trapped in nap jail. O looks so much better today and ate everything I offered at breakfast including fruit so I think his throat hurts less. His dedication at church is this morning so I have to make sure we're all dressed and ready to leave in 45 minutes. I did my hair in the living room while he played this morning. I called about my jury duty for tomorrow and I wasn't picked so three day weekend for me! It's next to impossible to get a sub for my Monday school this year so I booked someone in early May. The secretary at the school told me to not come in if I didn't get called and she'd make sure I'd get the civil leave since I'm out of any other kind of leave. Hopefully it works and I won't get docked a day of pay. I got a pretty new dress for today but it isn't nursing friendly in any way. O has been comfort nursing like crazy (normally he nurses 5x a day now, it was 9 yesterday and 3 already today) so I'm not sure if I should wear something different. But it's such a pretty dress. I guess I'll just have someone come with me to unzip it if I need to nurse him. purple, I hope you were able to find relief of some sort before all your planned activities for the day. Have fun!!
Tough weekend over here. Started Thurs night with E throwing up which led us into Friday morning where he was running a 99.5 temp. Had his 1yr appointment which went fine, but the ped didn't want to do shots unless E was 100% healthy. Thank heavens we didn't do shots because his fever went up to 100.4 and he ended up having yet another seizure (we're now up to 6 in all). Yesterday was low key since he his temp was still hanging out in the 99's. This morning, I was woken up at 5am to a poop explosion. Already this morning, I've changed the bedding on the crib, given him two baths, cleaned him up from what is now the third explosive diaper. He won't stop whining and can't decide if he wants me to hold him or if he just wants to whine while sitting on the floor
Someone please send coffee. And possibly a healthy, non-teething child. I'll pay you!
DS is down for a morning nap, H is outside washing cars, and I've got laundry going, a dog snuggled in my lap, and coffee, so for once, everyone in my house is happy later were meeting some friends at the park for a picnic lunch, and then just generally pretending tomorrow isn't Monday - it's been a pretty nice weekend over here. Also, at some point I should probably get my shy together for our party next weekend - it's now officially less than a week away and I've barely done anything!
One of our neighbors had a house fire on Friday night and lost everything. They are literally 5 doors down from us. The whole neighborhood has been pulling together to get them clothes/food/things and help them salvage anything they can. It's so sad though. They have 3 little boys. I can't even imagine what that must be like.
DH is heading to Indianapolis this afternoon. He won't be back until Tuesday and then we go to VT on Wednesday. I had thought some about B and I going with him, but it's like a 7 hour drive one way, and I feel awful for putting B through that, so now I'm stuck home by myself which I also hate. Ugh.
My AL bestie moved to Atlanta yesterday. She's 8 months pg. I am so sad that she is actually gone.
I'm laying on the sofa hoping P will actually take a morning nap. I just have no energy today. Right now he's in his crib happily babbling away and I'm beginning to lose hope. If the weather holds we're going to blow up the wading pool someone gave him for this birthday and let him play in it in the yard later. At some point today I need to go to a yoga class since I didn't go yesterday. It's either hot yoga, which I have zero ability to do after a long hike yesterday, or a late meditative one at the end of the day. Neither is appealing right now.
Also, I really miss DS1. It's just so strange without him here. He's been gone for 11 days and has 12 more to go. P misses him too. He keeps stopping at the collage frame in our hallway to look at his pictures and point at him. We talked to him this morning and he told me he's ready to come home. I knew he was going to get homesick while he was there. Three weeks was always a little too long for me too. I want our family to all be together again.
You guys. Garth Brooks. Trisha Yearwood. Amazing. michyme123 you have a LOT to look forward to next weekend!
Omg it was such a fun night. They didn't need seats in that arena because it was a 2.5 hour long karaoke dance party!
Other highlights, waiting in line outside and going by the Gordie Howe statue outside covered in bouquets. Goosebumps.
Getting to watch the second half of the first Rider preseason game at our post-show hangout. We all decided we're going to a game together this year.
Speaking of Riders, they are hosting a big street fair in Saskatoon this afternoon with some players/alumni/mascot and a bunch of stuff going on so back to the city I head today and take the kids for some more pre season fun!
billyhorrible I am right there with you. I did not eat or drink 1 single thing yesterday until after 5pm. I was starving and so thirsty. I hope your run went ok!
tjanca22 I'm so sorry that E is not feeling well and had another seizure. Sending all the coffee your way! And hugs, too.
kemdupuis that is awful about your neighbors. I can not even imagine. I'm glad they are all safe.
@jimbobcooter I'm sorry you are having a hard time and missing DS1. At least you are at the halfway point. I hope the days pass quickly for you!
You guys. I'm so glad that the party is over. Those things are stressful! And we have to have one every year?! Lol. But for real, I will be going low-key from now on.
It's storming like crazy outside, so there go the plans of setting up her swing and slide and water toys. I'm in nap jail now, but I need to get up and switch out laundry and put away clothes, toys, and other gifts.

tjanca22 poor E, and poor mama too! I'm so sorry you are dealing with all of that. ((Hugs)) tiffbot I wish I could LT your post more. So much awesome. This day has been a write off already. Thunderstorms meant all of our bookings were cancelled, so lost income makes me sad. Today would have been enough for a family vacation O cut his lip open this morning and should have a pretty pout for his cake smash pics now. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with all of the activities this week. Was not a smart plan to do the school carnival Friday, O's party Saturday and my dads 65th/SIL's baby shower Sunday on Father's Day. Ugh. Too much planning!! I'm sure it will all work out fine but I'm having a panic moment today. I'm releasing it. FFSC?? I'm extra pouty because I couldn't go to the Justin Bieber concert here last night.

@jimbobcooter I'm sorry you are having a rough day. I can't imagine one of mine being gone for three weeks. Here's hoping the rest of their trip flies by. Extra big hugs for him when he gets back!

tjanca22 Thinking of your poor guy jessila Glad O is feeling better! I hope his dedication went well. My church wardrobe has been very limited by nursing-hope you got through service alright!
He skipped the morning nap. Instead he pulled down two cups of hot tea (fortunately I never heat my water past ready to drink temperature), broke my favorite mug, threw a cup of juice across the room and spilled it, broke a bowl, smashed a handful of raspberries into the rug and, threw his chicken fettuccine on the floor. Annnnnd.... I'm done. It's like someone flipped the path of terror and destruction switch in him.
I placed a photo order with Sam's club last night for H's Father's Day prints...said it would be ready by 6:30 last night and I had a confirmation number. I go in at 11:30 today and the guy was like, nope, not here. I never complain, but for some reason I did & the manager wound up finding them easily. I got them for free, which is good since they didn't crop them right anyways, ugh. Thank goodness for target and their prints in seconds feature!
