Hump Day

[lilyelayne]

My phone tried to autocorrect Day to Dad. Awkward!

[lilyelayne]

Bible study day. We’re already on track to be late, even though I got up half an hour earlier. Hopefully we’ll hit up the zoo afterward!

[aggiebug]

Bahahaha that is hilarious lilyelayne

Enjoy bible study today!


C had his best night ever, after feeling like I was about to break he has given me a little break. Hallelujah.

Today our realtor is coming for dinner. So I am getting the house clean and making homemade lasagna and sides. I didn't think she would say yes! Lol but it's good

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's a good one! And hopefully you got to bible study alright!
aggiebug that's really nice of you. Hope dinner goes well.

Today I am getting the pre-vacation packing "nerves" that I use a bohemian/czech word for and N goes "what's that!?!" Lol . I just always feel a little overwhelmed because I am always in charge of packing everything for the girls and myself, getting the dog instructions/supplies together, cleaning and laundry, and anything else we need. Sigh, it'll get done...I hope!
PS: it turned chilly today so I'm not sure what to pack for the girls. I'll need skirts and pants grrr.

Soon you will be vacationing and your jitters will fly away. Hope it stops feeling so frantic soon.

Does anyone have any advice for talking to V about grandma's dog passing away? My MIL had to put her dog down this morning and V loved that dog. He would always say "go see Grammy and Boo" whenever we told him we where heading over there.

Quiet day at home today, enjoyed playing outside with the boys on a sunny day.

Trying to be productive at the moment while V is watching his "one episode of Minnie mouse".

dreemkin enjoy your vacation! Hope you can relax once everything is set!

Oh man kartish it's hard. When we put Titus to sleep before our move we explained that he wasn't hurting and not feeling well and sometimes that means we have to say good bye to help them. She said ok and didn't say anything after but life was crazy. A few weeks ago she saw a picture and asked where he was I reminded her he was hurting and it was our job to help relieve the pain. Sometimes it takes more than a bandaid and medicine. That he was no longer here with us and we will miss him but he feels better.

I only sort of remember how it went, she blindsided me and the emotions were harder for me.

I didn't use heaven or death because honestly I didn't even know how to talk about them.

Thanks aggiebug I tried to explain it to him but I think it was all over his head. I don't know.

[lilyelayne]

We weren’t late to bible study, woo! Lunch with my mom and then a great afternoon at the zoo. G finally went in the splash pad for the first time.

dreemkin hope the packing is going well! That’s a lot to coordinate.

kartish I’m sure there are picture books about pets dying - I accidentally checked one out of the library before, but I don’t remember the name. That may be more than you want to get into. I wouldn’t make it a big thing, and you’ll probably have to remind him for a while that he won’t see Boo any more.

Ten Good Things About Barney is a good one.

Getting ready for camping this weekend. I'm ditching work early, but trying to leave my coworker in a good spot since our boss is a mess and our other coworker is gone until Monday.

I am quite certain it mostly went over S's head. I think continuing to talk about it will help some. And a gentle reminder that he isn't at Grandma's when you are going there will help some.
