Do we have a weekend thread?

[dreemkin]

It's the weekend! What do we have going on?!

[lilyelayne]

The Thursday thread was so lively we didn't make a weekend one yet!

We're heading to the lake today, first time in our boat! DH and FIL have been working hard getting it running so FX everything goes smoothly today.

We also get to see how G does with a morning on the lake. I'm predicting a 45 minute car seat nap for today.

My H and I caught up on some much needed "us" time last night after our Friday Family Fun night. He's been having a rough time at work lately and bc of that we've sort of... disconnected this week.

Today we are going to H's work friend's house to hang (kids included). They have two boys (one A's age, the other 7 months). Tomorrow is church and then nothing else planned. Weird for us!

TMI but looking for advice. I have been having sore/sensitive breasts. It feels like when I was pregnant...gulp I hope that isn't the case. Otherwise, I've had this issue before but it was due to having caffeine in my diet (I have fibrous boobs). So I'm trying to cut back down on all caffiene (it's been sneaking back in my diet) to see if that helps. Any other suggestions? It is both of them, otherwise I'd be concerned of bigger problems.

dmorgendorffer i think we are going to tackle potty training next but it's not the same situation as yours.

She has seemed verbally interested in it lately so I'm just gonna keep talking it up and getting her excited about it until it's 'go time' and we really decide to do this!

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne oh fun! A pontoon boat? Swimming? We had a pontoon for years at our family owned lake house but then it broke and there's been some drama in other family members about replacing it... Anyway, I miss the slow trips around the lake in that thing; looking at mansions and wishing our lake house looked like those lol. Have fun today! I'm sure G will love it!

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin like for reconnecting with your H! Sore breasts are an ovulation / luteal phase / period symptom for me; no advice beyond that.

It's a ski boat, and yeah we'll go swimming if G wants to :-) no skiing or anything today, just going for a ride.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin are you on hormonal bc? That can cause sorry boobs. Glad you are reconnecting with H. C's motn wake ups and now all the life stress had a huge damper on ours. I just am trying to get through the day.

lilyelayne have fun today!

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne aggiebug I'd say period symptom for me too but it's been a whole month. And I've been on the same bcp for years. Nothing has changed recently. Thanks though!
(Ps: they are sorry boobs 😔😜)

We had a great time hanging out at ours friends' new place yesterday. They grilled these amazing brats that had either jalapeno/cheddar or habinero/pepper jack. 🌶I'm going to have to get those (from a local grocery store)! And I kept true to my diet by not having a bun! The kids had fun too!

I think no caffiene is helping with my sorry boobs! Anyway, church today and nothing else planned! Maybe go out to eat? I forgot to thaw ribs 😔😢😭

I'm back from a week off at the cottage. It was a fun time but the kids always have the worst behaviour there. LO is grandma stalker and would throw a fit if grandma didn't sit beside her at every meal. Dd1 wants to do everything with her big cousins. And of course I feel like sometimes my sil and bil are judging us when LO is in meltdown mode or dd1 is rude or doesn't listen bc it's so easy to forget what your kids were like when they were 2 and 4 bc now they are 8 and 6.

The weather was crap but that didn't stop us from swimming in the freezing lake and eating ice cream a bunch. Even hit the local farmers market.

Well it's back to the grind tomorrow...boo!

Probably swimming this afternoon. We went to a fire truck museum yesterday. DS loved it. Had champagne and soaked in our hot tub last night to celebrate our anniversary.

dreemkin could it be dehydration from it being hot (I'm thinking this might be why caffeine is an issue)? Monthly self exams ok?

[dreemkin]

seamonster self exams seem no different; thanks! Fibrous breasts are tricky bc they always feel like little grapes bunches. I'm not sure the science behind the no caffiene thing but my GP recommended it years ago and it seems to work for me. Hopefully it's just a slip up in caffiene consumption from the holiday and having company!

I did poas just in case (-)

[dreemkin]

Happy anniversary seamonster!

[dreemkin]

We made chocolate covered bananas tonight! The girls enjoyed helping (especially putting coconut and sprinkles on them). They are in the freezer now; we'll see if they turn out!

[lilyelayne]

We had an awesome day on the lake yesterday! And today DH and FIL built steps up to the playhouse. The roofing should be in tomorrow, so hopefully we get that done sometime this week.

mishka29 glad y'all had a fun week! Hope the girls adjust quickly to being back at home.

Chocolate covered bananas sound good.
