At the airport waiting to board. And this time we forgot the diaper bag. Holy crap airport diapers are expensive. And thank goodness P was holding his bottle when i loaded him into the car at home. Vacation karma owes me.
We are leaving for the lake this afternoon until Monday! It will be our first time out with our little tent trailer we bought at the end of last summer and I'm so excited about it!
DS's birthday party is tomorrow and fingers crossed, it's looking hot and humid all weekend so the risk of storms is always there.

We were planning on leaving for the zoo this morning, but we've pushed it back to this afternoon, after J's nap. DNW a cranky toddler. Nothing else planned here yet.

We got back from vacation late last night. Just dropped O off at his sitters house for a few hours so we can rest and put away everything from the trip. After being with him 24/7 for a week it's nice to have a little break!
No big plans this weekend. One party tomorrow we have to stop by, but it will be brief.
blueskiessmiling How scary! @jimbobcooter I hope your flight is uneventful and you have a great vacation! billyhorrible That sound like a great day! purple I hope L and your DH feel better soon and that you can get a break. tiffbot Have fun! Camping is my favourite summer activity!
I got my hair cut and colored this morning, which was lovely, especially since DS was a cranky mess all morning. No clue what was wrong, except he didn't want to eat, drink, or be happy in any way. I think he's starting to wake from his nap now, and I'm just praying he was able to shake it off while he slept. No other big plans for the day.

Wish me luck, we are off to DH's family reunion... they have it EVERY year and they all live in the same city. Haha. DH is in Houston so I'm going solo with the kids. I get very overwhelmed with his massive, opinionated family, but I know that the kids will have a great time so I'm trying not to be selfish even though I'd rather hide out at home.

I've been trying to convince DH to go back to school for years, at least for a trade or technical degree, since he didn't finish college and I think it holds him back. Well yesterday he says he WOULd like to go back, and I'm all excited and then he says... For a writing degree.
I literally laughed out loud and then saw his feelings were hurt. I was like "take on 30k more debt? So you can do what kind of job after that?" And he was like ".... I forgot you have to pay to go to college."
Well, Laura's still poorly and so is Daddy, and I'm looking forward to another night of sitting on the recliner, but we've had a very clear, very definite first word, and it was duck. Our Ducky's first word was duck!
I've told you the story of the night after she was born, when I was in intensive care and they found a room for H to stay in, but he didn't sleep because L kept hicupping and it sounded exactly like a rubber ducky. She's been our Ducky ever since and she loves ducks :-)
I'm still exhausted and not very happy, but I no longer feel in a pit of despair.

The sushi party/cookout went well last night. I left early because I'm antisocial , even more so around people I don't know. Babies make great excuses though it was past A's bedtime. I did find a lady that's going to give me some chickens though. So now I've got to build a little coop for them on the side of the shed. I can't wait for fresh eggs.
Tackling storage solutions for small spaces and sewing blackout fabric to my curtains today.
Another enabler alert - if you have a once upon a child near you, see if they have a 70% off clearance sale. I scored a huge bag of clothes for next summer (& 2 cute Hanna Andersson and Vera Bradley dresses for now) including an adorable red, white, and blue Jack & Janie dress for like $2!
I'm trying to catch up a bit since I have a bit of time. Our trip is going well, and V is both feeling well and doing awesome.
We got word yesterday that we close on our house next Friday, which we were hoping for, but it's less than 24 hours after we get home from our trip. Then we have a week to do as much as we can at the new house (painting, floors, etc). while simultaneously cleaning and packing at our current house before we have to move out. Then summer school and prep for next year begins.
So much for summer break.
Glad you're having a wonderful time, but that sounds like an exhausting summer!
G had a terrible night's sleep. Damn teething! But she has napped a ton today so at least we've had time to clean and I was able to package up Etsy sales. We're up to 18 sales now, which I'm ecstatic about and hoping to do sew some new styles tomorrow!
Also planning to try and take some 1-year pictures of G today. Hopefully she cooperates!

How long is the time following MMR where our LOs can get sick? Because M has been warm and crying the past day. Seemed better at bedtime though. This was our saturday situation.
H tiled the balcony and I did laundry while my parents came over.
Tomorrow Mexican and beer garden with our bffs for my birthday. So excited!
Today was a long, long day with a cranky baby who was cranky all day. No clue what was going on with him, but hoping it was a one-day thing, we've got a busy weekend from here on out!
holliberry28, 14 days with MMR, 21 with varicella.
LO is feeling fine but she has had a diaper rash for a while now that is just there & some rash around her mouth. H thinks it's irritation from her nuk, but I'm convinced it's a reaction to shots or HFM. Thanks, anxiety!
billyhorrible Thank you I just realized how silly it is that I've spent so many nights feeling so alone and depressed and angry and worthless when I had such a lovely large group of friends to vent to. I still have some deep crap that I need a counselor desperately for but this is important too.
budders Oh my gosh I love our new place. I want to live in Missouri for the rest of my life. Little did I know I was born for the country life! And DH is a farm boy now which is hottt. I'm so happy my LO is going to grow up with raccoons and deer in her backyard and cows, geese, and sheep at her grandparents' farm. I'm actually super jealous because I only got to visit my aunt's farm twice when I was growing up and I was absolutely in love with it. If I could just get our whole families to move out here (his sisters, my brother, and my parents--everyone else is here already) then it would be completely perfect.
