Friday and weekend fun? Post it here!

[dreemkin]

Welcome to the weekend!

[seamonster]

I need to swing by my house before I get DS. I forgot to write a check for the teacher gifts. And I didn't have him do a flower. Every day I just breeze past the basket.

[lilyelayne]

Waiting on DH to finish up at work so we can get on the road. Spending time with friends in Texas this weekend!

[dreemkin]

Well A's cold turned into an ear infection. Poor thing is a mess.

[kartish]

Poor A dreemkin! Hope she's over it soon and it doesn't stick around.

lilyelayne have fun in Texas!

Just got back from my friend's commencement. It's been a long road to graduation for her and I'm proud of her that she's stuck with it.

Now we are out looking at baseboards for the basement. The carpet is going to be installed sometime this week or next, not sure on the timeline yet.

Aww poor kiddo!

[mishka29]

Life's awkward around here. Dh is grumpy at me for not paying more attention to him. Well I can't say he's wrong. I'm definitely guilty of putting him/us last. Between work and kids and house etc I'm just tapped out by the end of it. Ugggh

[lilyelayne]

Made it safely to Texas! G is excited about his hotel crib so FX for a decent night.

dreemkin poor A hope she feels better!

mishka29 can he help more with the house & kids so you've got a little more energy for him? Or can y'all hire stuff out if that's an option?

[lilyelayne]

Tapatalk updated and everyone's posts look like one big block of text. Ugh.

We already have a cleaning lady that comes once a month and in between I can't say I use a lot (if any) time cleaning lol. Dh does help a lot with the kids and cleaning the kitchen so I can't fault him there. I think his issue is more with me and the fact that I'm just not a super affectionate person. Maybe that's what I grew up with and it's what I know. Right now I feel like he is giving me the 'me' treatment. He's never touching me or asking me questions about my day or anything. I don't feel like I'm all that bad but close enough I guess. Maybe I need a taste of my own medicine to understand what he's saying cause so far I'm not loving it. Lol

Happy weekend. My in laws had flight problems so instead of arriving after bed time yesterday they will arrive at nap time today. Less time with the in laws. Aww shucks.

I think my parents and I are going to a winery today with the kiddos.

[seamonster]

dreemkin hope she feels better.

mishka29 I hope you guys figure it out. It's good that you're recognizing how he might feel when you act a certain way. It's a good place to start from. But it helps if he recognizes how you feel when he does certain things and how he can help you feel less overwhelmed.

Swimming and the maybe the zoo this weekend. The weather cooled down so we can be outside longer.

We're dropping this swim place after May. Every class is identical and DS can do everything, but he just doesn't want to do it. I feel like we're making no progress. And it'll be hot enough we can swim all day in our own pool. I may try us at a different swim school in the fall or winter.

Work today. V was up from 2am to 430 am this morning. I gave up and brought him to my bed at 4, when DH started getting ready for work. We had both been alternating trying to get him back to sleep to no avail. The night before last he was up at 2 ready to go; maybe he's got some developmental thing coming soon?

[dreemkin]

mishka29 it seems like a lot of us are having some SO issues lately. It's hard with kids and I think it's natural to have rough patches. For us, talking about it always helps! DH processes things different then I so we need to re-understand each other once in a while. Hope you sync back up soon!
kartish sorry for the rough nights lately!

Thanks for everyone's well wishes! A is feeling better already! I think we caught it early! We might have to follow up with pedi since it's only been 3 months since her last ear infection. How many and in what time frame does it take to consider tubes??

Not to be whiney but now I have a sore throat and feel worse again. I'm hoping it's not the strep. Saw a white spot on the back of my throat this morning. Hoping to get rid of it on my own as it's most likely a virus. FIL is over too. I apologized in advance for his cold he will have in about a week.

[seamonster]

I burned toast earlier this week because my 30 something year old toaster isn't popping up automatically anymore. Getting it fixed is probably the cost of a new toaster. Despite cleaning, my house still smells like burnt toast. I'm trying boiling lemons to replace the toast smoke smell with lemon.

[dreemkin]

Just ordered an otoscope on Amazon. Why haven't I thought of this sooner?

[kartish]

Well the baseboards are put up. Carpet comes Tuesday, so other than moving furniture and sweeping we are ready. I think we are going to paint handprints on the cement before the carpets come though, something fun to leave behind for future remodelers.

[dreemkin]

aggiebug Happy and blessed baptism day! Hope it goes wonderfully!

I have the girls' baptism days reoccurring on my calender and we talk about them and celebrate them that day!

[dreemkin]

kartish that's a cute idea. You make remodeling sound fun!

I got the idea from one of the previous owner's. When the kitchen flooded we had to tear up some flooring in one of the bedrooms, and there was a message and a name written in sharpie in the cement. So I figured we could continue with something of our own.

[kartish]

aggiebug hope everything goes smoothly today! Happy baptism day C!

[dreemkin]

Because I can't help it

Thanks! It went wonderfully. He was perfect and smiled and blew raspberries the whole time they actually gave us a candle to light on the anniversary in remembrance. It's a different pastor than with S we didn't get one with her.


Prechurch insanity included my fil taking a shower with the bathroom door wide open. The bathroom is at the top of the stairs so you have to look in as you come up. Yeah he was toweling off when I came up to go to my bedroom... Thank the Lord I realized the situation before I could see anything but seriously? I think that is the last straw for them staying at our house until we get an actual guest room hopefully a guest suite.

[dreemkin]

Just watched Homeward Bound on Netflix with the girls. DH thought I was joking when I said I cry at the end of this movie. Nope, I burst into tears lol.

[lilyelayne]

Home safe from Texas!

aggiebug prayers for C! Glad it went well, minus FIL's pre-show.

dreemkin I'm not sure I'll ever voluntarily watch that movie again. So. Many. Tears.

What area of Texas were you in? I was thinking about you and the tornadoes.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug Beaumont. Not in the bad weather, actually further out of it than if I'd been home.

oh glad to hear it. I figured you either drove toward the worse weather or further away from it. (Ha that sounds like a duh statement but I figured it was either Beaumont area or right towards the storms). I am glad you drove away from it this time.

Today was the last relatively nice day for the next several months. The really hot weather rolls back in tomorrow. Leaving highs in the 80s this weekend for over 100 next weekend.

If someone would market a toddler sized rock and play or swinging crib, I'd buy it. Or if there was weekend nap daycare. I hate retraining naps. They're so much harder than night sleep. Maybe because it's harder to drink after you get them down. Brought to you by my kid fell asleep on the way home at 10am both days, thereby destroying any hope of him napping in his own bed. And my own hope for a nap.
