I'm getting some major cleaning done today since H and J are both gone. I've gotten the main bathroom, the kitchen, J's room, and about half of the living room done.
I don't remember who it was, and I can't find the thread, (jessila, maybe?) but we just bought a Tempurpedic. I am so excited. It is being delivered on Monday!!
I should be cleaning or something, but I'm laying on the couch watching Olympic volleyball and mentally reliving my glory days of high school volleyball. Because playing high school volleyball is basically the same as the Olympics.
My productivity for the day was getting a nice(ish) bra for $8 today from a going out of business department store. So I have one real bra that fits me while I'm still deflating and won't care if/when it stops fitting.
kemdupuis happy temperpedic! You will never know how you slept on anything else.
At a beerfest in kemdupuis's home state. It's so awesome. But I had a little too much fun. I knew when I collapsed on the floor in a pile of giggles singing Adele to myself that it was time to relax a bit. Hanging out in the hotel now. Hope you all are having as much fun as me!
OMG. Jealous you are in VT right now!!! Where are you?! Let me know if you need restaurant recommendations or anything! Wish I was home so we could meet up!
Pretty lazy Saturday! I got my hair chopped off this morning, took V to get her passport, but the line was too long, so we went next door to eat Mexican food. We did a Target run and left without spending over $100 so that's a win. Now just lounging on the couch watching the Olympics and debating whether or not to have a glass of wine.
I'm at okemo...very far south of your people. Trying to motivate my party to dinner but everything in VT closes so darn early!!! I got a surprise Cosmo that I am nursing now after saying I was done... H didn't take no for an answer. If you know of anything in ludlow that is open after 9 let me know!
Eta I wish you were here too...next year???
I'm not super far from Ludlow/most of Vermont. If you make a return trip (or ever come upstate in NY) let me know!
Hey now! budders you must be visiting the wrong parts of VT, because the greater Burlington area is AWESOME. stcyct Don't really know anything in Ludlow, unfortunately. I hope you have a good time anyway!

I was missing DB when I heard him crying in his sleep. Tried to hold him back to sleep but he just screamed super hard and pushed back at me. Sad fail! I guess that's what I get for usually letting him cry back to sleep. Had to set him back down and he was out in 5 minutes.
It was our anniversary whilst we were away, so there wasn't an opportunity to celebrate this year. Never mind!
Yesterday was a nice low key day. I even conquered the entire ironing pile, so get to feel virtuous. No particular plans for today apart from church. H is back at work tomorrow, so we'll be back to reality with a thump.

Not sure what you mean by visiting the wrong parts. We go to Vermont often and Burlington usually once a year. We even got married in VT.
Oh! I misread your post! I thought you wrote that you were not super FOND of VT. Sorry!! Haha! Where did you guys get married?

Almost through a week of Whole30- not sure I've been completely compliant but I'm definitely trying to keep with the spirit of things!
I also think we're officially done nursing- She hasn't asked in several days. It's kind of weird because she's "grown up" but also super freaking awesome!!
wegrowsheep , I'm Impressed by your cake making skills. Once my hair is actually fixed, I'll post.
mrsmonogrammed , did you give up sugar and alcohol completely?
I'm eating breakfast while V eats hers trying to make my meal plan for the week. This is my first full week at home without traveling since May. I'm completely stuck on what to cook this week. Do y'all still do the meal plan thread?

txngrl31 yes ma'am. You can have naturally occurring sugar (aka fruit) but no added sugar. It's been really eye opening to read all of my labels and see what has added sugar. SPOILER- basically everything

Happy Sunday! The decluttering continues here this weekend. We had a garage sale yesterday and will again today. It's been a beautiful weekend so I hated to "waste" it, but yesterday we made $1200! The girls had a lemonade and popcorn stand. They wanted to make enough money to pay for my mom and dad to come to Florida with us. So cute! I'm going to surprise them with tickets! How everyone is having a great weekend. I can't believe some are gearing up to head back to school already! We go back on September 8 here.
Yay Sunday! I'm feeling a lot better today, and for all the hard work we did yesterday, today is a little more laid back. Going to see Bad Moms with my BFF later and I'm so excited!
Happy Sunday. We're headed to the state fair today to meet up with some friends. E has been hating the stroller lately so I really hope the distractions help. Cannot wait to eat something fried and on a stick!

$1200 from a garage sale prettymama36?! That's freaking awesome!
My parents brought J home a little after 11 pm last night. Kid is exhausted still, but he's up eating breakfast already. He had a smashed bug as an appetizer.
Nothing planned yet today. Hopefully finishing the laundry (haha, if there even is such a thing) and maybe the grocery store.
prettymama36 your kids having lemonade stand to buy tickets for their grandp totally made me tear up, that is he sweetest thing ever! Our first day of classes is September 1st but we have three days of meetings and an open house first.

Ooh yay we had our first rolling in the floor kicking screaming tantrum this morning. Awesome.
Hoping to finish my bookshelf today. A let me get most of the boards cut and sanded yesterday and I was able to assemble the main structure. He's an awesome 'helper'....
Am I the only one who writes my plans for the day up here and then doesn't get any of it done? Toddlers (yes I said toddler, he's walking more than crawling now 😥) have a way of throwing wrenches in plans it seems.
