I just found out that I'm being observed by the Auditor who's deciding if my entire program will be put on probation.....no pressure. Oh, and she'll be here in 10 minutes.
Yikes billyhorrible ! Was there some sort of sporting event yesterday? I can't think of anything big. If not, what was the reason for your H to get so drunk on a Sunday night? (ETA If you don't mind sharing, of course.)
The only reason is stupidity.
The only thing he ate at all yesterday was 2 doughnuts at the race. Then he had a 24oz beer at the baseball game. Then he claims he only had 2 beers at the brewery a couple hours later. Although I reminded him he also had a bunch of tasters, which he claims only added up to 1 beer. I'm not as certain of that. Then when we went to dinner, he asked if he could run next door and grab a beer from a brewery he liked. Silly me thought he meant grab a bottle/6-pack to bring home. He actually meant go sit and drink a beer while I sat in the restaurant with the kids waiting for our dinner. And when he came back he was so excited to tell me they gave him tasters for free there.
So he's like "I don't know how I got so drunk off of 3 beers."
I told him it's because he didn't have 3 beers. He probably had closer to 8 on an empty stomach.

I stayed up last night watching Pride & Prejudice (w/ Colin Firth), drinking chai, and getting the bags unpacked and laundry going and house picked up and schoolwork planned. Today is cooperating. Dishwasher is going, laundry is down to one load, schoolwork end is in sight, animals are fed, stinging nettles around garage are sprayed, and T is FINALLY napping. Oh, and DS1 wanted to vacuum, so how could I say no? I'm taking him to school later to register for kindergarten (doing a happy dance!!), and then we go do farm chores, ballet, and then a work mtg out for Italian for me while DH watches the kids at IL's.
txngrl31 we specifically bought outside the flood plain, so it's not too bad here. But it just keeps raining. It's so weird because I have never experienced this in the 10+ years I've lived here, and now it's twice in two years. I hope your family is staying dry!
I hope it goes well mrsmonogrammed! E sent his first text last night. He'd gotten hold of DH's phone without him knowing, and a few min later I received "If the ubyhyñrubyhyñrbu4".
Also, H just took Jude to play in his bedroom so that I "can get ready for the day..." I guess pjs and messy hair are a no go for a rainy day. Jerk.
Lol, I'd go back to bed. Or take a long bath.
Lol! I'm just taking my time. To his credit, I took a nap on the couch with Jude earlier, and when he woke up I passed him off and turned back over to sleep for 30 more minutes. Sometimes H is a saint.
Saturday was mostly spent at H's sister's house for our nephew's 2nd birthday. The party started at 1:00 and by the time we left at 5:45 they still hadn't done cake or presents. H and MIL got in an overblown argument with SIL because MIL wanted to start cooking at like 3:30, H said we were all hungry, and SIL didn't want people to eat yet because more people were maybe coming later and didn't want them dictating the timeline of her party. Everyone was sitting around bored and hungry though and hello the party started at 1:00! It's always some sort of fight going with SIL, and it just reminded me why I am glad we don't see them too often. It also made H and me discuss G's birthday party and how we want to get the main party objectives done early on and then people can leave and not feel like they're waiting around forever. I also think we're going to start the party at like 4:30 and have it be a dinner thing so people have their whole day to themselves and the temp should start cooling down around then.
Also, H and I started de-cluttering this weekend. We're also supposed to meet with a Fence person today. I'm excited to extend the fence on our side yard. We have an unnecessary amount of front/side yard so I think it will be nice to bring some of it into the backyard. It will be nice to have even more space for G's birthday party and any other gatherings we have this summer, and hopefully it will make the house even more appealing to buyers.
I'm also thinking about buying this patio furniture set from Joss & Main:
I like the lounge furniture look and at $500 for the set it's way cheaper than anything else I've found. Anyone know of anywhere else I can find affordable patio furniture? I want an outdoor rug too, the cheapest I've found is at Ikea so far.
Does anyone use the Zipadee-Zip? I have one on the way for G after a recommendation from 2 moms in my wedding month group. I'm crossing my fingers that it will help Gianna start sleeping longer stretches.

We do, and it's amazing. I'm just concerned with summer coming that DD will be too warm in this extra layer. Bonus, she can't pull herself up to standing in her crib wearing it, though she is fully capable without it on. She's a daredevil, so the extra restriction to keep her from climbing out is nice.
@imapenguin gigi3126 How are y'all doing? Any flooding by your homes??
Just a little. It's mostly okay though. I know it's much worse in the city. A bunch of friends have posted pictures of their flooded parking lots and the bayou is out of control.

Glad to hear! Did your LO always sleep well or did you see a difference once you started using the zipadee-zip?
This weekend was a busy one. We had a crawfish boil Saturday for H's birthday this week, and had like 30 people at our house. So many babies and kiddos!! The food was delicious. I was super antsy about having that many people over with a messy house, but H cleaned top to bottom all day Friday, and I came home to a spotless house. It was amazing and I feel so good walking in the door.

No, she is not a good sleeper at all. We used to swaddle wraps as long as we could, but she started rolling early so we had to switch to something else. She still doesn't nap great (30-45 minutes unless I lay down with her), but, teething/sick nights excluded, we usually get a 9-10 hour stretch *knocks on wood *
belle0720 I really like that! ETA-the patio set, never used a zippity zip, better clarify lol. Joolschweets beautiful pic! I am so jacked for summer. Usually when DS is doing his make believe vacations driving his jeep around the backyard he says he's going to the city my siblings my siblings live in, but he's started saying 'I'm goin to the lake!' now haha. So anxious to get going!
blueskiessmiling that's awesome! G's longest stretch of sleep was 6 hours, I'm not going to get my hopes up that she could sleep a 9 hour stretch LOL. But I'd love to get back down to 1 MOTN wake up!
billyhorrible, he sounds like an amateur at beer and worse than an amateur at parenting! Hope he's learned a lesson.
L is fast asleep and snoring, and there are no more chores to do. I might actually manage to get to bed before ten tonight! And it's my first scan tomorrow, hurrah. (I have dozens of scans - a perk of being high risk, especially in the early days!)
billyhorrible I love cost plus! I was looking on their website yetserday and they have the coolest line of midcentury style patio furniture, a little more money than I want to spend though.
I got a jury duty summons last week. Fuck. I just found out that the three week civil law suit trial from the mass shooting at the Aurora movie theater is scheduled to start that day. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck!!! I realize that they probably summoned hundred of people and that the odds of me getting suck on that jury are slim, especially since I'm an attorney, but still. Fuck.

Oh man! I'm hoping once they find out you're an attorney, they'll show you the door pretty quickly. DNW the months long ordeal that would probably be!
