Another day of laundry, cleaning, starting to pack. Trying to decide if it’s worth sending DH to the semiannual kids consignment sale tomorrow night for some more baby gear.

Laundry day here. Tonight we are surprising the kids by going swimming at my sister's pool. Our internet is being weird so we have them coming out tomorrow.

Went to bed with a migraine last night, it did not go away till the morning. DH was over at my sister's this morning, clearing some of her brush in the backyard as a birthday present. Her goats are loving all the extra weeds to eat.

V just told me he and A are astronauts. He is going to go camping in space, with a helmet so he can find a moon bear.

Well it decided to storm here all evening so we had a family game night instead of swimming. Anna is working on not being a sore loser...even when most of the games we played were cooperative. She has Annatude! But she is very cute and I love her with all my heart. We are also still working on potty training. We are now passed the date of getting a deposit back on totschool if she can't go but I still have hope she will get it before the Sept start date! H thinks I'm crazy and she won't be get to go.

kartish your sister has goats?! 🐐

Hi! Yesterday I took the day off to take J to a follow up appt with the urologist. DH decided to work from home so I took both girls to music class to make up for a class we missed a few weeks ago because everyone was sick. It ended up being a pretty long day, we left the house at 9am and got back home at 2 but we had fun. It would have been slightly easier if it wasn't pouring rain and we could have gone to the park but we killed the extra time time at the book store between music and lunch.

We were checking in at the doctor office and they told me her referral had expired so we ended up being there forever, but at least we were lucky enough that our pediatrician was able to submit a new one while we were there so we didn't have to reschedule the whole thing.

We're getting ready to pull the plug on E wearing pull ups at night. Lately she refuses to use the potty before bed and then immediately goes in her pull up. She's fine all day and during her nap (when she still takes one ) I am stocking up on mattress pads and sheets and dreading the middle of the night bed changes.

kartish omg 😍😍 I want one! And great names haha.

dmorgendorffer I can't remember the urologist issue but hope the appointment went well! Glad you were able to get the referal while you were there! That's great about E! I'm jealous!

lilyelayne didn't J need surgery soon?


ETA: Well Comcast didn't happen today bc H couldn't stay to wait around for them, who were of course late. We met my parents for lunch at a Polish restaurant. Tonight we are going to try swimming again after those crazy storms last night. It warmed up again!

[dmorgendorffer]

dreemkin you would think by now cable companies could have figured out how to keep their appointments. Hope you’re able to get your issue resolved.

J has a mild kidney condition that they keep telling us should resolve on its own, but hasn’t yet. She goes in for ultrasounds to monitor it. The doctor said to bring her back in a year and if it hasn’t gotten any worse he’ll discharge her. I guess it’s mild enough that he isn’t concerned. I mean, I hope it’s actually resolved in a year but I guess if he isn’t worried about it we shouldn’t be.

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer GL with going pull up free! My nephew had a similar kidney situation but he ended up being monitored until he was almost 3. Never needed any treatment though. Hope J’s resolves so you don’t have that worry any more.

dreemkin my J has his urology consult the last week in August. We’ll know more about when he’ll have surgery then.

This morning I had my annual eye appointment and tonight we are at summer nights at the zoo again. Haha, there are not many left we can go to 🙁😢😭.
