We woke up at 4 and left around 5:45am. Without stops we'll be to the beach around 12:30. Hopefully traffic won't be too miserable. Ftr, I did not need to get up at 4 but H insisted I get up with him. O is definitely my kid. I snuck into his room and he fussed until I picked him up then he was all smiles. I'm typically a perky morning person. Today is the exception...whoops. I need more coffee.

Headed down to see my college bestie (C's godmother) and have a girls day with her! We have lularoe open house parties on the menu, and possibly pedicures. Yay!

I'm the first one awake in my house and I'm enjoying the silence!
And another random- I've been buying different pairs of jeans online to try and find some that I like. The first pair should arrive today so we'll see if they are a hit or a flop....

Have a good drive jessila! mrsmonogrammed I hope you find jeans that work! Jeans shopping is the worst.
J went to bed early(for her) last night, but starting about 1 am she tossed and turned all night. So tired. Nothing on the books for today. Hopefully going to the dog park.
We're probably going to a food truck round up if the rain stops. I had wanted to go to a vegetarian festival downtown, but with the rain and the Clinton/Kaine rally downtown, I am just imagining a shit show.
Oooh and h wants to go see ghostbusters and go to dinner tonight. Hopefully my mom is available to babysit!

Happy Saturday! Up early here this morning, wondering why we bought LO a ball pit. I spend half the day picking up those balls I'm sure. He loves that thing though. Today we are going to an eagle release fundraiser for a wildlife rehab group. Should be fun! Good luck with the drive jessila! ETA words.
Morning everyone! E slept in until 7:30 and so did I. Just made pancakes and am currently drinking my coffee.
We're leaving to go camping tomorrow, so plans for today include packing, haircuts for DH and E (his first one) and I need to head into work for a couple of hours.
DH is going to stop at his grandfathers house while I go to work. He was diagnosed with cancer about 4 months ago and has been struggling with his treatments. I want to put a nice little care package together for DH to take him but I can't think of anything to put in it. What can I get him; I need ideas (he's 84). They are set on food for a long time as everyone has been making dinners for them for a while now.

What about slippers and a nice pair of pajamas? Something comfy.
Had a liter of margarita last night at Hacienda. Going back to Hacienda tonight for a friend's sip and see. Being around her new baby is giving me the fever so bad. I'll probably just drown that in margaritas though. Nip that shit real quick.
We're off to lake #1 on the weekend this afternoon because we are also going to a birthday party!
This morning likely pretty chill. I was saving Monday for a camping packing day and I ended up doing a lot yesterday so we considered leaving Monday instead of Tuesday. We'll see.
tjanca22 I second the slippers/pajamas/bathrobe idea. Does he like crossword puzzles or anything like that? I fondly remember picking out word search puzzle books for my pap.
tjanca22 it's maybe too late to do this for today now but does he have lots of pictures of you guys?
I suggested to DHs family that we put together a photo quilt for him. I coordinated one last year for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and they loved it! MIL is getting that together for him, but I don't know when it will be ready. That's why I wanted to get something of our own together. I know he hasn't been feeling the best lately and wanted something to cheer him up. I think I'll go with the slippers/robe or pjs ideas. Thanks for the suggestions erbear and billyhorrible. As always, you ladies are awesome for ideas!
Morning! Just a grocery run and some laundry here today. I am loving how independent my lo suddenly is. He's just quietly playing little people as I type this!
tjanca22, I think the girls had great ideas magazines might be a good idea too if you know he's interested in.
turtle, you could always just bring a bottle of wine or a plant if you really feel you need to bring something but aren't sure. I always love it when people bring little hostess gifts like that, it's so thoughtful.

My in laws are visiting this weekend and my mom keeps trying to "coordinate" so they can come hang out with us. Like, her and my dad, my sister, and her two kids. The thing is, I never invited them or said it would be nice for us all to hang out. DH and my relationship with his family is growing and I feel like we have enough to focus on with just them, without the added craziness of my family. As usual it's more about my moms need to feel wanted then anything else.

tjanca22 you could add some mints or candy to the package. I know treatments can give patients a dry mouth. My grandpa liked those big white mints and they seemed to help. I second anything comfy, a cozy sweater or maybe a deck of cards?

Korean dohl to attend for my nephew today (1st bday party). Looking for motivation to work out and shower, and then pack and leave in 2 hrs. Tomorrow I'm going to a friend's LLR popup with SIL to help out.
We've been itching to get back camping again so I just changed our reservation to leave Monday now instead. So 3 different lakes in 3 days starting today now! And I'm so excited we are adding a day to our trip!
carolyngrace it's a party to celebrate a friend getting a breast reduction. Just an excuse to party. budders, I don't know what happens at a party like this but I will be sure to report back.

Attempting to make some freezer meals for A today. I found a bunch of recipes online and I just feel like it would be more convenient to have some things I could just warm up quick for him that are nutritious.
