Wednesday/Thursday thread?

[aggiebug]

Since we've made it till 4:30est without a thread why not combined the days

Had moms group this morning and then had a service in to clean my house in prep for family next week. Ahhh the freshly cleaned home is amazing.

I am tucked in my basement where they didn't clean to avoid all the smells though.

We went to the zoo this morning then it rained and turned cold so we came back home. Turned on the cub game just when it was starting (due to the rain delay). Score!

AND, A napped today!

I hope our bmb isn't dying 😢

aggiebug nothing better than a clean house that you didn't have to clean!

dreemkin me too. i'm often lurking but don't have anything exciting to say.

i am beyond exhausted today. like i've cried about being tired 3 times today.

It's so hot here already. Time to set the AC programing. Blah.

My sister did not come over yesterday. It's a 40 minute drive without traffic from her side of town and over an hour with traffic, but she wasn't leaving her house until peak traffic time. Which would have put her at my house as I normally start herding DS up to bathe. I picked up a chicken and a veggie heavy pasta salad from the grocery store deli for dinner since my whole plan of getting home to dinner wasn't working. She's supposed to come over today, so we'll see how that works. I'm doing chicken quesadillas and raw veggies and fruit tonight, so it's ok if she's later.

I hope it isn't dying too, but I do think Wednesday is always our slow day around here. We must have more planned IRL on Wednesday


agm04 it is so nice! This is a one time deal for us just because of the guests and such a huge stress relief to have it done.

Oh and also I am now sitting in the cleaned living room and both kids are napping elsewhere. The only sound is the clock. This has not happened since C was born.

seamonster I hear you on the heat. We seemed to skip a lot of the spring weather

We had A's 2 month appointment this morning and he's been screaming at me for the last hour. I guess it's from the shots, poor kid. V was sweet trying to comfort him though.

[lilyelayne]

Visited my grandmother & cleaned out my car & did one last load of laundry & cleaned the bedroom & started packing. Getting ready to head up to DH's office - they're taking new photos for the office website & want one of the whole family. Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll be at the beach!

aggiebug I'm investment jealous of you right now

Eta that was supposed to say insanely jealous...

agm04 hope you get more sleep. Exhaustion just amplifies everything.

Re: cleaning service

Highlight of my day: we saw the baby reindeer at the zoo. A male calf born only 1 week ago. Here's a pic of him and his mom (sorry if huge; it's my phone bruh)

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin sooooooo cute

[agm04]

Thanks for the hair pats you guys.

We are having someone come deep clean as soon as the painter comes to do the base boards and patch a couple places in the walls/ceilings that the floor people messed up. At first I was annoyed that I couldn't have it done as soon as the floors were done, but it's actually going to work out great because it'll probably be cleaned not long before baby's arrival. I can't wait.

DD helped me make lamb meatball gyros, asparagus, and all the fixins for dinner. She's really loving helping me cook lately, and it feels like such nice quality time together. She totally cheered me up this afternoon.

[aggiebug]

*yawn* I don't do well on limited sleep. C is up twice a night still which isn't really terrible especially since he is usually easy to feed and get back to sleep, but I am struggling to fall back asleep. So it's like 2hrs of sleep between feedings.

Today I hope to do something... I haven't been inspired as to what but something.

[dreemkin]

I can't believe it's Thursday already. A and I went for a walk/playground and to a store before we pick up N. Then it's chilling this afternoon before I finally get their 4 and 2yo pics done tonight! Fingers crossed for smiles and cooperative hair!

[lilyelayne]

2 hours down, 5 to go in our beach drive. We got off the interstate to lunch at Chick-fil-A but there was a 7 car line just to get into the parking lot, so we went next door to Chinese buffet. G has been an angel so I'm hoping for a long nap this afternoon. He is sooooooo excited about the beach.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin how's your nephew doing?

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne hope you have a great rest of the drive and time at the beach! My nephew is doing well, thanks. I haven't seen him since he was born sadly. He'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. My sister is having trouble with enough milk supply but so did my mom and I. She is still trying though...for now (I lasted 4 weeks with N, tried everyrhing). Hoping to visit in two weeks; the girls can't wait to meet their cousin!

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne safe travels!
dreemkin I hope your kiddos cooperate for pictures.


We ended up heading to the local trampoline park for toddler time. It was perfect, the crowd was pretty small and calm with the lack of big kids and S had a blast while I was able to catch up with a friend. Of course S spent part of the time collecting all the colored spots they had tossed around, organizing them by color and then making quesadillas with them and serving them to everyone . She cracks me up.

I have flowers sitting at the neighbors'. I appreciate that H sent them, but wish he'd sent them to my office instead. The florist was supposed to deliver after 5pm, but came at 3. Now I'll have to wrangle a toddler over there. Oh well. At least I'll have nice flowers.
