I thought of @jemomma and Kristykristyleelee today while peeing in airports with 1ply tp. Dnw that in my home.
I had a peanut butter crunch burger for dinner. It was strangely delicious. Burger, bacon jam, potato chips, pimento cheese, and crunchy peanut butter. And a beer. Then a frozen margarita as we walked around. I highly recommend vacation. So far my impression of Vegas is lots of butts hanging out. So many butts.
Yesterday was super busy ad B didn't get to bed until 10. I am hoping she will sleep in a bit today, but I doubt it. We are heading to a softball game again today. After that I will be cleaning my house. DH is cutting back a ton of trees today so I'm sure I will have to help clean that mess too.
Hugs budders, you're more than justified feeling the way that you do. Yesterday was busy, it was DH's birthday and his department had a softball tournament. I loved that we got to spend time with friends and there were kids E age everywhere, but events like that are tough to plan around naps. E seems extra crabby this morning. Hopefully he will go down for his morning nap soon, then our day involves, church, a stop at our church's festival and lots of housework.
Good morning. C and I are up and out for a walk. Trying to get a head start on my steps for the day. DH is working this morning and then planning on yard work all afternoon. Maybe I can convince him to go hiking somewhere before or after yard work. Planned a trip to the Lincoln Zoo with SIL at the end of the month and am currently trying to plan when to take C to the Day Out with Thomas exhibit at the train museum (happens in August) budders, hope this phase passes soon! I know the feeling, C has been super clingy to me for the last few days. I'm guessing yours is more to do with V growing used to you being around 24/7 while on vacation. Don't beat yourself up though.

Hopefully V will come out of this phase soon,budders. It's so tough when they're so clingy. DD is trying to phase into 1 nap a day (and sleeping later in the morning) but apparently can't quite commit to it. Make up your mind, kid! It's hard to plan our day when I have no idea when she'll need to sleep.
Dh and I had a great date day yesterday. Walked around ikea, picked out playroom furniture, went to the Missouri history museum, went to urgent care for dh (just an ear infection), and then went to dinner and started actually planning out our vacation for September.
Drinking coffee while dh mows the lawn, then we're going out for breakfast, checking out a potential lot to build on, and then we'll get the kids.
The clingy-ness has been strong in our house too. It's tough, especially when there are so many other things you have to do (like prep for a move). I just keep trying to remind myself one day I'll miss how snuggly he is now, and just learn how to do more things one-handed every day.
We've had a successful morning of pancakes, grocery shopping, and more house prep. DS is finally down for his nap, I'm finally enjoying some coffee. I also cut his pre-nap bottle today, so now he only has his pre-bed bottle and if he wakes overnight bottle. So far he went down with no issues, so fingers crossed were almost there! Later we're going to my parents for a swim and checking out the new house. Should be a good day overall!
Hugs budders! I totally understand how you feel...its been the same here lately too. It definitely wears you out physically and mentally. Here's hoping this phase passes soon!

Sorry budders, I know exactly how you feel. A was the same way while we were packing up our house to move. I couldn't get anything done and it just tripled the stress of everything.
budders, so sorry you're struggling. A big holiday so far away immediately after the end of term, and then moving house, was always going to be hard work but that doesn't make it easier to live with!
L is still under the weather from those wretched jags and yet another cold. At least I've been able to rest over the weekend whilst H was here!
Time changes are not my strong suit. I woke up at 4:45am. Guess I'll be napping before we go to a 7pm show tonight!
That happens to me every time I go to Vegas. Then I'm in bed before it gets dark. And by the time I get adjusted, it's time to go home. It seems the only people up at that time are DH and I and anyone who hasn't gone to bed yet. Hope you are having fun! Like blueskiessmiling, I feel the need to live vicariously through you.
We are back from camping trip #2 of the season. Kids once again loved it, I told DS today I'm so glad he's happy because it means we can keep going haha!
Working on the mountain of laundry that comes from these trips now.
Yesterday was mine and H's anniversary. We left the kids with my ILs who we were camping with to drive into the city and go to a neat, nice little cafe. It has been on the Food Network before and also came highly recommended by my sister. Seriously best breakfast I've ever eaten, and had a mimosa. Just a nice little date and break and then we went back to have a beach afternoon with everyone! It was a pretty great day!

Nice low key Sunday today after being gone most of the day yesterday. Of course because we had only planned to get one nap for LO yesterday she took a short one. And today we were going to try for two naps, she takes a super long first one. Kids, man....

Spent a few minutes at a park this morning before a quick grocery stop, had lunch and now DS is napping. Debating between reading the paper and a nap. Did not sleep well last night, but I am also not a good napper, so I probably should choose the paper... decisions, decisions.
jessila Mystere was so great, you guys will love it! We were in the 2nd row and I was terrified the entire show that they were going to pull me up on stage...DH's dream and my nightmare lol. Enjoy it!!!
