TGIF & the Weekend

[dmorgendorffer]

[dmorgendorffer]

DH has been super cranky all week because of the current state of our house so I think we're going to need to get out a lot this weekend. It being his first week back at work is probably also a factor.

E's fall activities start this weekend - Music class Saturday morning and she's starting soccer on Sunday. I'd like to get her into a swim class too but its impossible to find one with timing that works and I don't want to spend my entire weekend going to kids activities.

dmorgendorffer is it bad I don't want to sign up A for swimming? She doesn't seem interested and we already do 4 things throughout the week for N... 😩

Totally missed yesterday. Was doing some visiting with my patents. And then a friend stayed at our house due to being in town. Hotel Dreemkin.

Today is the usual. Not sure what I'm going to do for dinner which is bad bc DH is a terrible baby about leftovers. Also there is a sale on Rue La La this morning for retired PANDORA jewelry that I'm way too excited about. This is my thrill now haha. This is what I'll be spending birthday money on!

dreemkin I'm picturing you in 15 years totally draped in pandora chains/charms ;-) glad you've found something you can splurge on for you!

Well we made it to Wisconsin. V is still getting used to the idea, but A is loving all the attention. The car trip was not bad overall, but the last few hours were pretty miserable. The boys were so done.

Other than that it is pretty chill at my grandparent's house.

Hey hey!

It was a good day around here we didn't leave the house till dinner but it was a good day. DS climbed over the gate on the lowest stair... I am in trouble. Granted it was pretty slanted but still he did it with no problem. I see him breaking out of his crib waaaaay before I am ready.

Tomorrow we are headed to Disney on Ice. S is going to be thrilled. I can't wait to take her.

[dreemkin]

kartish have fun in wisco! I love it there!
aggiebug the girls would live to see that! Hope S loves it!

Today I'm hoping H takes the girls on his errands/honey-do list. I'd like to workout this morning! Hopefully church tonight but we could probably do tomorrow morning too. Sunday afternoon DH leaves town on business for a week. Headed to Houston. 😔

[seamonster]

aggiebug I hope she likes it. We went a few months ago and it was great. Just watch out for all the kids getting all the things.

Our plans all got thrown out when G woke up with a full blown cold. He napping now, poor thing.

[dreemkin]

Almost took Gatsby to the vet today. It looks like his legs are bothering him. He wouldn't do stairs this morning, was trembling (which he does sometimes) and didn't want to eat his greenie which is VERY unlike him. But he improved so we cancelled the appointment. I think he pulled a muscle.

On a happier note: I got my workout in this morning!

All. The. Things! We avoided buying anything there and both kids had a blast.

dreemkin what breed is Gatsby? Any issues before? Glad he's feeling better.

We got back to Florida thursday night. No real damage thankfully but no power at the house. My niece and her boyfriend had power at their 1 bedroom apartment so all squeezed on the couches and an air mattress for the night. Power came back on Friday morning sometime. Our flight home friday was another mess. Issues with the plane caused a delay, and ended up needing to get on a different flight with a layover in Atlanta. We got home at like 2am. DD spent the night at MILs and I was supposed to sleep in but I was so excited to see her, I woke up at 7 to go get her. I missed her so much.

I feel like this month will never end...

He's an 8 year old schnoodle (miniature). He's been having a few issues going up the stairs at night on and off which I thought was bc it was dark. But could it be arthritis or something? I do recall what he has now happening before and it resolved on its own but he seems fine otherwise. Maybe I should take note of how often it happens. It seems to be his back legs but I suppose it could be front or neck...??

[dreemkin]

Well DH had an early flight (my mistake) so I'm glad we got church in last night. The girls choose to donate some change from their piggy banks every week and they let the children come to the front of the church to give their offerings. It's so cute but A fell and her baggie of change broke and went flying across the aisle. She was okay but I was embarrassed. DH, being on the end, ran to gather the change and everyone was looking lol. At least she didn't burst into tears too!

Solo parenting for a week - here we go.

[dreemkin]

mmarie I'm so glad you finally got home to DD! Sorry for all the hiccups along the way. Did you end up getting a tattoo with your BIL? How is your nephew after leaving his wife?

My first thought is neck. Sounds like it's mild so I would just watch see how often it happens and consider elevating bowls a little bit and using a harness instead of a collar for walks

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it! I will by elevated bowls! He's due for a new set up anyway 🐾

We ended up not having time for tattoos so we are getting them when they come up to Wisconsin next weekend. My nephew is doing ok. She took their kids to her dad's house in Texas to evacuate Irma and has been threatening to stay there. My nephew knows his rights so he's not to worried about it.

[kartish]

mmarie glad your home and with DD again. Hope things cool down soon with your nephew.

Turned cool today up here, I'm glad! I forget how humid it is up here. I'm sitting watching a football game with my grandparents and aunts while the boys nap. It's pretty perfect.

[dmorgendorffer]

We all have colds except for DH. I guess I should have expected it since it was the first week being back at daycare full time.

We took E to soccer for the first time this morning. The grass was wet and for some reason she really hates being in wet grass so she kept running off the field. Then the "coach" had them pretending to be animals at the zoo and that just confused her and she kept running to the fence saying she wanted to go see the animals. Hopefully it goes better next week now that we know what to expect.

[dmorgendorffer]

mmarie glad you're finally home. I hope things settle down for you now.

[lilyelayne]

mmarie glad you're home. I hope your nephew's wife goes back to FL soon and their separation is as calm as possible. Still sending loads of love to you & your family.
