aggiebug how was the first night in the new house??
Weather is a bit cooler in the morning thanks to all the rain but not really cooling off yet. I'm hoping summer weather rebounds so we can get a few more weekends on the lake.
Laundry and finishing up the kitchen declutter, today I hope. My low back bothered me a bit yesterday morning but by the afternoon it was killing me. DH had to finish the pantry organization.
Leaving Florida tomorrow. Gotta get home and get some stuff taken care of at home. My mom didn't come with so I'm hoping to try to get her to come back down in 2 weeks if she's still on the machines. I'm not sure how long her kidney Dr wants to keep trying the dialysis.
It actually is a bit cooler here but I'm sure that will change at least a couple times before actually Fall weather kicks in. Today was a busy day. N's totschool open house was this morning. H worked from home to go with. She has a lot of her friends in her class again! Then we did some food shopping and cleaning for a cookout tomorrow. My sister, BIL, and nephew just got in town. Staying with us.
A got his six months shots and flu shot I Thursday and I basically haven't slept since then. A is super fussy and unhappy.
My mom retired Thursday; she took us out to the spa yesterday morning. It was really nice and I think I fell asleep on the table. Then her party was at this top golf place and it was a mess (for me, she had a great time). Mom wanted the kids there and I thought it'd be more enclosed. Should have left V with a sitter I guess.
Is the weather turning cool? Are you thinking of fall yet?
There are no seasons here. Just horribly hot and pleasant. It'll be hot until at least the end of September.
But we we're able to go to the park this morning. Our plans for toughing it out with the screaming for diapers and potty training was derailed by the discovery of ants in the playroom. I did manage to get DS in a pull up and in the car with a tablet of Daniel Tiger while H cleaned. I was ready to hold off some more on us doing potty training until he wants to do it. H came to that conclusion when he talked to his mom while he cleaned. She took a week off to potty train him as a toddler and he refused until he wanted to do it. I was the same way. DS has got our stubborn streaks.
We're looking at campers this weekend. We want something on the small side. H likes vintage ones but they're in rough shape for the most part.
H's TX family is in The Woodlands and didn't get much from the storm.
I found out that I was not told (for about a WEEK now) that my sister asked my other sister to be Godmother to my nephew. I figured she would ask her because she has no children but why was it so secretive. It did not feel good to walk in on my mom and sisters looking at the baptism gown (in MY family room) and my sister teller the godmother how it'll be done in her church...um hello...no one wanted to tell me ever. Secrets don't make friends!
ETA: and here I am trying to be a good host and not seem petty but the hiding it from me hurt. And I woke up fuming today 😤
Tonight we are taking the girls to the Last Fling, a fest around us. We are seeing Barenaked ladies (with soul asylum opening). They are excited to listen to a band, dance, and have a lemon shake up lol. It should be fun.

My mom asked if she could keep G this afternoon so DH and I ended up day drinking on the patio at a restaurant with some friends. G came home wired from no nap & post dinner ice cream but he & my parents had an awesome time.
My first full day home was interesting. We let H sleep in and went to target. DD fell asleep in the car. If I didn't have things that needed to get in the freezer, I would have waited it out. So she's been off the wall all day. I have tomorrow off but I'm already dreading going to work Tues.
They are amazingly only 2 carbs!! I stopped drinking bc of the hit on my diet so I'm happy to have an option now! I tried a different brand at a beer tasting recently too so they must be gaining popularity (along with non alcoholic sparking flavored water). Kind of like the hard ciders taking off a few years ago.

Not much here. Potty training did not happen, but we're at least not having fits over pull-ups so that's a start? Haven't tried the training pants yet. I'm sending DS to daycare with both and telling them they can give it a shot but if it's just fits we'll keep taking baby steps.
Went to Ikea with my sister. My other sister is visiting my mom and supposedly did a practice test for the social work licencing exam.
Potty training went really well only 3 accidents in 3 days which was awesome! She did amazing I knew she was ready which was helpful since we didn't give her as much attention as we maybe should have. We painted the garage doors and inside of the garage. What a damn workout. I'm exhausted. Days of painting!
My attempt to rehome my cat failed. They cancelled at the last min. Which is a total piss off but obviously for the best if they didn't really want her. The search continues.

mishka29 hope you find the right home for your cat soon. Yay for PT going so well!
Not much going on today. Hung out at my ILs. I'm just getting home from yoga and looks like DH and G are still out with the cousins so I get a couple minutes quiet before bedtime :-)
mishka29 I was gonna ask how it was going! That sounds very successful! I'm sorry that the deal fell through with your cat. Hopefully something better comes along.
Today was very chill. Relaxing long morning. This afternoon we went to the wildlife center for a bit. I like seeing the owls! I am proud of us for not going out to eat afterward. I am back into (again) starting my diet (like I should have been all along). The struggle is real... I worked out tonight and logged my meals today huzzah!
I also cleaned out a drawer and found old birthday money I never used. While I worked I just would save/bank my bday $ but now it's the only $ I feel comfortable spending on fun stuff for me. Now what pandora item to spend it on...🤔
Work was crazy yesterday, seriously. did not get home till after the boys were in bed. Today was chill that goodness, I worked but they have a chilli cook off that was fun to sample while I was up there.
Tomorrow I'm home and I need to clean, the poor house is a disaster after the busy weekend.
All you guys with the potty talk makes me feel behind, but I know V isn't ready yet.
