Shit I need to meal plan and make a list so I can too. 😭. I don't wanna. I was planning egg salad sandwiches for S this week too. Dang that is more work. 😜

[dreemkin]

Egg salad sandwiches might be a hit with A since she's pretty vegitarian by choice. I will have to try that!

I am going to do them in a pita because I am hoping it's a little less messy.

We are going camping on Wednesday through Friday morning, so I need to try and get everything together and meal plan. And hope the weather forecast turns more favorable.

Also, we got family pictures taken Friday evening, and we'll get the pictures tomorrow. I'm excited to see how they'll turn out.

I'm pretty sure I'm planning an egg salad lunch sometime soon now, that sounds delicious. Not sure how the boys would go for it though.

Oh have fun camping. Fingers crossed weather is good. We have talked about camping this fall but gave nothing set yet.

So glad for the good report aggiebug!

I made chicken salad a couple weeks ago & G wasn’t interested, even though he loves every ingredient 🙄 he was excited to eat the hard boiled eggs when I had extra, though.

kartish hope the weather turns!

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne egg in chicken salad? Interesting. I boiled eggs last night as a back up for Anna's dinner.

Today is Gatsby's appointment to remove stiches. I'm hoping he'll be good to go because I feel bad for restricting his living space and making him wear the cone.

Tonight is RE for Nor. It's nice I can drop her off and go home to start dinner. I'm so excited for tonight; I'm making an Italian sausage and broccoli dish! It's so good!

[lilyelayne]

G finally had his first dentist appointment. He did great & is cavity free. He told his teacher yesterday that he was going to the dentist for the first time, so at circle she read a book about the dentist & other kids got to tell what their dentist appointments were like.

J has decided to forget how to say every word except momma, so he goes around all day babbling momma, and he points at everything and says momma. At least he still signs or we’d have no communication anymore.

Already went to the grocery this week but I just remembered we have a potluck at school Saturday so I need to figure that out!

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin my fav chicken salad is chicken, celery, eggs, pickles, lemon juice, and mayo. Sometimes I change it up with onion, pecans, walnuts, craisins, etc but I really like the simple one best.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin I feel like I need a recipe!

lilyelayne I love chicken salad but never make it. My favorite has grapes in it.


S had tried my egg salad before and liked it but I was still unsure what she would think today. She loved it said it was the best. Well hooray.

[lilyelayne]

J is having a hard morning at bible class drop off. I hate leaving him when he’s crying.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's rough. I'm sorry
aggiebug I will try to take a pic of the recipe and post here on Thursday

Today I finally left Gatsby home sans crate and started the couch to 5k program. It went really well but my legs are feeling it. Good thing I have a rest day tomorrow! Tonight - holy rough bedtime Batman. H is away over night for work. H is the usual bedtime routine parent. They were a mess. Finally was able to get it under control an hour later. Disney bedtime playlist and cuddles for the win. Phew! I always am amazed at single parents but it's times like these that I really really am in awe of them and bow down 🙌

[dreemkin]

aggiebug here's the recipe. Penzeys is the spice/seasoning company that I like and it's from their magazine. Ruth Ann's is like a Mrs Dash. I would recommend salt-free ingredients because the sausage and cheese add a lot of salt.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin I love Penzey’s! A friend gave us a box of their spices as a wedding gift, and I got hooked. Now I give Penzey’s for wedding gifts too.

[lilyelayne]

I need to get up & get ready so I can go to G’s school to watch their peace day ceremony, but the baby is sleeping with his head on my stomach and I just so love the snuggles.

Haha, that's how I got hooked too but with them being from WI, I've always kind of heard the name. They make great gifts! Are you on their mailing list? They often have good deals including free shipping and free spices.

Yes! So many good deals! I wish we had a storefront because they so often do free without purchase gifts!

[aggiebug]

dreemkin I know penzys we have a store about 10 minutes from my house .

And thanks for the recipe!

Getting a little anxious about my drive on Monday. It's about 11 hrs which you know for me is generally no big deal except for pregnancy symptoms. I am taking a half a unisom so I can sleep but 7 am is tough to pry my eyes open, a cup of caffeine and I am good but it's hard to get moving. I generally leave by 5am so last night I tried a quarter of unisom. I think it works for sleep but my nausea is out of control bad today, I can't drive like this so this is going to be messy. Breaking it up is really not much of an option either.*sigh*

I hope you can find a solution that works for you! Would you be able to cancel if you're not feeling up to it?

Ish?

My parents would be highly disappointed but ultimately understand my kids would be disappointed and not really understand. My mom has been making a ton of food already in prep of me being there 4 days lol.

[lilyelayne]

Maybe the half of unisom earlier, aggiebug? Though I know I’m always up late packing the night before a trip.. I hope it works out well whatever you decide!

Yeah that is kind of what I am thinking but I usually take it at 9-9:30 so that would be about 7 which is quite early! I will probably shoot for 8 and get extra caffeine if I need to

[kartish]

Thats rough aggiebug I hope the trip works out though.

Camping was fun. The weather held for us till the last morning, but we had already planned on leaving early. The boys enjoyed their time in the "spooky woods", as they call it.

[dreemkin]

Yesterday H and I went to a beer fest with some of H's work friends. It was fun! I got pretty drunk but feel okay today. Except for that I fell on my front porch stoop trying to get out of the rain. Something that's happened sober too. So now I have a really swollen, scratched up knee and feel achy in general from trying to catch myself. "The things we say now"
