* Stressed with work - we have a corporate audit next week... * Happy the weekend is almost here, but I know I will be doing some work over the weekend... * Tired. Always tired. * Intrigued... the nurse from our RE's office called and left me a voicemail earlier. She said she wanted to check in and see how the baby was and what we think our future plans look like. I am a little surprised that she would be making that call, as Lu is only 4.5 months old. Not sure when I will call her back... * I'm currently craving more intimacy with J that we just plain ole don't have in our life right now. Not sure we are on the same page. We are in a weird rut. Not sure I really want to talk about it with her though... * I'm super thankful for our kids. They are so awesome.
For the weekend...
Tomorrow I am planning to grocery shop in the morning and take William with me so that J can hopefully get some work done at the house (if Lu is in the mood to let her). Then when William and I get home, I am hoping to do a few things also in terms of house settling projects... J's brother and his wife are coming over tomorrow in the late afternoon to see the new house, and they are staying for dinner.
Sunday, we have no plans yet, but I told J I wanted to go do something fun as a family. TBD....
I'm just overwhelmed by everything that needs to happen before 5am Sunday.
I'm excited to go see friends that are in town and have a mini college reunion at dinner!
I'm annoyed at my work computer. It totally died this morning which is making wrapping up loose ends at work before a week of vacation utterly frustrating.
I'm thankful that our friend took the boys to spend the night last night and is providing them with a day of fun so L and I could work before we take a week of vacation!
Tonight L is taking the kids to a swim team party. I'm going out with friends from college.
Saturday we have a swim meet from 7a-12p. L and I are both volunteering. I actually have to be there earlier to check kids in. In the afternoon I am doing laundry and packing for vacation while L goes and gets a pedicure. That evening the kids are going with the neighbors to a soccer pool party to celebrate the end of the season. I think L and I are going to see a movie (if we are packed.)
Sunday we leave at the crack of dawn for vacation!

I'm working for my dad today but J is off so we're doing date night! I'm embarrassingly excited to see Finding Dory.
I'm feeling so thankful for my amazing wife. My mom called and asked if I could take her to Target today bc she forgot I was working. I asked J if she would mind taking her and both of them were excited to hang out with each other. This is the reason we moved back. I'm so happy we can be here for my family when they need us.

kh826 - I feel ya on the relationship rut! Hope you guys can have some time together soon.
I always feel icky on Father's Day weekend. My own father is a real jerk and we haven't spoken in 4 years. He doesn't even know I had kids. His birthday and Father's Day always bring up emotions and memories for me that I'd rather avoid.
Today I've got a few things on my to do list, including packing up newborn clothes! How the heck did that happen?! I have a tote for items to save, and I'm getting boxes ready for two friends who are expecting. Having so many clothes was a godsend with twins, but if we do this again we won't need so many (unless our one embryo splits, in which case I would probably just freak out!). karlamo - R and L's newborn wardrobe - with some exceptions because I can't part with the frog butt pajamas- is headed to Ohio and California next!
There is a tiny house on display at the local lumber yard - going to go see that today too. Then planting the last of this year's tiny garden. I normally have a massive garden, but this year it consists of a half dozen tomato plants, some cukes, and a lot of herbs.
Tomorrow if the weather isn't too hot, we may do the zoo.

crazyaunt84 - I have many of the same feels about Father's Day. My father and I did not have a relationship for most of my life, but particularly the last 4 years after he changed his mind at the last minute and refused to come to my wedding. He passed away last July. I haven't really dealt with it much. His bday would have been June 25th also. Blahhhh...
In other news, William has Hand, Foot, Mouth. J is with him at the pedi and just texted me the news. He woke up with a rash, so she took him in (I'm at home with Lu). This is the first time he has ever been sick. Poor little bugger.
We cancelled our plans for today. Pretty sure this weekend will just be hanging out at home now.
Also, our dog woke up puking at 3am for unknown reasons. It was so bad we just had to throw away her dog bed and a blanket. So gross!
Lucie is asleep on me right now and refuses to be put down, so I am sitting here thinking of all the housework I should be doing.
I just ordered peapod groceries to be delivered tomorrow. First time I've ever done that. Pretty sure it qualifies as the laziest thing I've done in a while. I don't care.

kh826 and crazyaunt84 We are in the same boat. We joke about it all the time. By nighttime, we basically just want to go to bed. It's been go go go around here lately.
Feeling dirty.....went for a six mile run this morning and still haven't showered.
Feeling undecided about with Athleta bathing suit I want to order. Thank goodness for free returns!
Feeling lucky as M sleeps in my arms. She was so tired that she fell asleep just seconds after I picked her up from her swing. I'm opting to hold her because I didn't know how a transfer to her bed would go. We are still working on taking naps in her regular clothes. We've been using the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit at night as a way to transition out of the swaddle and so far she doesn't mind it. She looks so poofy in it! Last night it was actually holding her hand up, kind of like a brace. Only lasted a couple minutes but I didn't realize how much support it gave.
Still feeling confused about what I should do about work but overall feeling so fortunate for our little family.
We don't have big plans for the weekend. It will be nice for us both to be here! It's supposed to be really warm and we live right by the beach so I'm guessing a lot of people will be going. We're probably going to try and not move our cars much during the day. CET went into the office this morning after we got another one of the black tie coconut coffees at Peet's. I wanted CET to try it. I want to mop our floors and M has a swimming lesson tomorrow morning. We'll probably go out to dinner, may see a friend, go to the barn after it has cooled down.....the usual weekend business

kh826 - I hope William is feeling better soon! Poor kiddo. As for the father stuff, it just sucks! My father did show up to my wedding. In hindsight, that was a massive mistake on our part for inviting him. Oh well. We will be better parents for having examples of what not to do!

Father's Day Feels. I don't know my father and am estranged from most of my family, including my step-father, after coming out.
C's father is amazing. I actually get teary thinking about how important he has been to me and how lucky I am to have him in my life. I am so excited for his first Father's Day with Baby O; we told him a few years ago on Father's Day that we were TTC.
