LO was up a lot last night and was up early today. Consequently, she's done nothing but whine and cry. I was supposed to go to the library by myself today since H swore he'd be home after teaching, but now he won't be home until after the library closes. I'm not amused.
We have storytime at the zoo this morning and since it's supposed to rain, we might go to the mall playground for a bit. We'll see how cranky she is after the zoo!

Good morning
I'm glad it's a new month. The last day of the month is always rough at work, and last night was no exception. And since my manager is on vacation, I'm the one who gets to fix it all. By the end it was just comical how much was messed up.
We have nothing going on yet today. I need to go down and pay rent, but it looks like it's going to rain, so we won't be walking there today. I'm probably going to pack some of J's toys up to bring to my parents house since it's getting a little out of control here.
L is feeling better, hurrah! We stayed in and played this morning because it was supposed to stop raining, but it hasn't. So we'll head out anyway in a bit. She needs her first pair of proper shoes... We'll probably go to soft play after that. I'm so glad we decided to invest in a monthly membership for her!
I have nothing to say about hair because I don't cut or colour my hair, or use a hairdryer, but I'll LT all the pictures anyway.
It's raining I have 30 people coming for a BBQ & pool party & it's pissing it down & looks like it will be all day. Boo. Oh well I have enough booze to sink a ship at least.
Hope it stops soon! If I had a pool at home I'd go swimming in the rain :-)

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends! This is the single craziest day for business, so we were up early coordinating set up crews. All three kids are in various stages of having a cold, so we'll see how everyone is feeling before deciding a game plan for activities later. Boo to the rain Joolschweets! I hope you have a great party despite the weather.
Morning! Oh erbear, hope your day gets better! H does the gleeful waving things around too. Last night while I was cooking, she got the cabinet lock off the door, crawled inside and sat there waving the lock at me. Show off! 😉
I'm super annoyed at DH. He's been being a real baby about working now that I am off for the summer. And since I'm not working, we're on an insanely tight budget, which he always complains about. And yet he still leaves work early whenever he can (which means he doesn't get paid for those hours) and wants to take 2 weeks off at the end of the month cuz he doesn't like the guy he'll be working with. I'm sorry, are you a grown up or a 5 year old? So today, my sisters and I had plans to use our membership to take LO to the indoor/outdoor water park. Well, DH decides he's only working a half day and gets all mad at me for having plans that don't include him. Umm....YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK! And it makes me even madder because he didn't work from Oct through March, and did I pull this shit while I was the one working?
How is it July already? Where did the first half of the year go?! O's down for his first nap but still happily playing in his crib. Coffee has been consumed and I'm not sure which type of chore I want to get done today meaning the answer will be none for now? After nap we're going to Walmart to find a kiddy pool for my mom's friend's kid that is at her house. She asked if I could bring over the one we already have but it's the dog's pool and is really gross. DNW that in my car so I offered to buy her one for her house. The whole thing just makes me super eye roll. She lives 20 minutes away and we need to go grocery shopping today too. So I'll get the pool, drive 20 minutes to drop it off, then drive 20 minutes back to my grocery store of choice? It's a giant pain in the ass but she'll just guilt me about it if I don't do it. Tomorrow is party prep including cake baking and crumb coating. I've never crumb coated but I think I need to based on what I'm doing. I plan to finish the icing process at my ILs on Sunday before the party. I think I'll just pack up all my stuff to take over there and leave O with H while I set up the party. We've gotten down to only nursing 2x/day so I don't have to be stuck with him all the time. I told H my plan and he was like "But I'm smoking meat! I'll be busy!" and I was like "Yeah, I'm setting up everything else and frosting 2 cakes so I win the busy war." We'll see how it goes. He also has zero interest in helping me with any other prep but everyone that would usually help me is busy so he's going to have to help. Sad day for him.
Sorry about the rain Joolschweets, hopefully you and your guests still have some fun!
E slept in till 7:45, this almost never happens! I'm off today and don't work until Wednesday! We have E's 1yr shots this afternoon. He had a temp when we were at the ped for his 1yr appointment so we delayed until today. I'm really hoping he's ok after this round and doesn't get a fever. Of course I'm stressing because there's nothing I can do about it.
E hid the remote somewhere and I can't find it. I just want to watch Good Morning America. #firstworldissues.
It's H's first full day off and we are getting right into summer!
Canada Day today, going on our first (mini) camping trip tomorrow, DS's birthday party at said lake Sunday, back Monday! Wish me luck with all the above! Me and a friend planned the community Canada Day BBQ today, and it will be our first time taking our little camper out!
ETA Joolschweets aw sorry about all the rain! We're forecast for some stuff all weekend too so we'll see-currently sunny though.
TGIF! Last night we went to a park with a big wood structure that had lots of stairs. LO loved climbing around and going down the slide! (He still hasn't figured out how sit up while going down the slide, he just lays on his back, it's so funny!) Here are his cute little knee pads I made, they worked perfect!
Those knee pads are adorable veggiemo! I found out last night that instead of spending the weekend up north with family, we'll be home so that DH's friend can come play video games with him all day on Sunday. That means I get to try keeping E out of their way all day when they'll be in the only room he can play in. Now that I think about it, Sunday might be a perfect day for the splash pad and soft pretzels.

Sorry about the rain Joolschweets, maybe there will be a break for the party.
Still unpacking here and then we have a welcome 'us'/going away 'someone else' cookout tonight at Momas cabin. We'll see how long A holds out for. Somewhere in between I have to get to town and sign one damn piece of paper for a records release from A's old pediatrician. It makes me ill. I was just on the phone with you, I gave you all the info you needed to identify me so send the records to the new doc.
Oh well A's finished with his oatmeal and H is still in bed so I guess I'm going to go attempt to turn both solar panels while carrying a one year old....
Welp, we're gonna try this vacation thing again tomorrow so we're just wrapping up loose ends today. We never even took our luggage out of the car so at least we don't have to pack. I'm gonna hit up a yoga class, go pick up DS1 from his dad's house, and try to act like it's just another day as much as possible since I don't want to fully believe we will actually go anywhere in the morning. wegrowsheep, how are those asshole roosters doing? Just saying...
Yay Friday! We had an insanely productive morning - grocery shopping, sheets washed and back on the bed already, towels about to go in the dryer, and our bathroom cleaned. I don't know why it seems like it's harder to get stuff done when H is home than when I'm home by myself with DS. But still looking forward to H hopefully coming home early, and going out for dinner tonight - I think margarita is needed to kick off the holiday weekend... and the bottle of Moscato that's now chilling in my fridge
Also - mommy brag moment, when he had eaten most of his peanut butter toast this morning for breakfast, DS looked up, raised his arms and said "all done!" I looked at him, asked him if he was all done, and he said it again. I mean, not in super-recognizable English, but I could tell it's there. Where is my baby??
Happy Fri-yay! H got a free vintage trailer and just sent me pics! We've been wanting one to fix up but didn't want to spend a ton, I'm amazed that he got it for free! There's a place by his work where people rent space to store their cars and I guess the guy has had it there forever and hasn't been paying and no one wants it so they said he could have it. Supposedly it's in really good condition on the inside too. I'm dying to paint the stripes blue or pink and put checker flooring in 😊

DD has seemed to have given up crawling except in circumstances where extreme speed is needed. It's oddly disconcerting to just randomly see her strolling around the house. Obviously I'm happy she's doing so well, but I'm used to looking for her on the floor, not 30" off the floor.
