What's everyone up to?

studyinpink

E woke up at 2 with a fever and upset stomach. She just now fell asleep in the car. H has been up with her so he's going to need to nap.

K is fussy because of teething. We are going to the store but otherwise all plans canceled.

Maebb

We're having my SIL and her family over for grilling out and swimming.

I feel kind of bad because my parents texted me yesterday inviting us down to their house for BBQ, but we already had these plans. I've told them before that we need a little more advance notice. It's my mom and brother's BD, so that's why I feel bad. Maybe we can go down there for dinner.

Sorry about your babies, @studyinpink  Hope they feel better!

I am looking forward to trying to wash the rest of this coconut oil out of my hair. Then DS and I were invited to a friend's house for burgers this afternoon. She said she scored some organic ground beef at Costco, so I'm extra excited about that.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning & couldn't get back to sleep...why does my body hate me?! DD is still at her dads so I'll probably swing by my parents later. My mom is making corn avocado salad & I fucking love it!

We have to see about buying a new stove. Husband is being grumpy about it which is annoying me because he's the one who broke the existing stove. Hopefully we can find a good deal.

Might meet my parents for Chinese food later. I haven't had really good Chinese in a while so hopefully it works out.

Sorry to all with sick/cranky kiddos and those who got little sleep.

We are headed to a cookout with friends later. I need to chop some veggies and get a no bake dessert in the fridge.

@spooko sometimes a new deodorant will work for me for like, a week, then stop. I fear my hormones will never even out to be unstinky ever again. I should just give up and move to Europe.

@Studyinpink sorry the kiddos are having a rough day.

We don't have much today. It's rainy out. My husband's kickball league starts today. It sounded like a good idea at the time but now we're both like...uh, why did we think that? Not even past the first game and already ready to flake out. Finding out how much we have to pay for goddamn parking did not help our enthusiasm levels. -_-

Omg, a kickball league does sound awesome! I probably would've signed up for it too. Paying for parking always sucks. Hope it's fun though!

My kid loves flags. He's going to flip his shit today

Good morning!

Not much planned here today. DH has to take a trip to drop off our broken motorcycle (on a trailer).

DS and I will be taking a trip to Wal-Mart to fet a pair of summer shoes/sandals. My mom was really nice and bought him a bunch of summer stuff, but unfortunately the shoes are way too big and need to be exchanged at Carter's (love that place!). So a pair from Wal-Mart will do just fine until we can get to Carter's to exchange.

Gah...those military family homecoming stories they always show on the today show get me every damn time. I've been up for all of a half hour and I've already cried.

FrickandFrack

It's already hot outside so pool time ASAP.

PeanutButterFox

I have an awful cough so not sure how much I'll accomplish today. FFMC: I have to cross my legs when I cough. Every time I have a particularly bad coughing fit, I piss myself.

MrsT0514

Sorry to all of those with sick kids. Poor babes!

LaurelBee

Hope your kiddos feel better @Studyinpink‌ ! And @spooko that love tit was for standing your ground bc I'd be sad to miss out on mini golf and would be tempted to give in.

I went to bed early last night bc I had a migraine. Felt better today, so I got up with the kids and let Dh sleep in. Going to the parade, then filling up the kiddie pool in our back yard for Ds.

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who have served our country! And to all their families who make sacrifices for us, thank you.

nonoemily

We went to dinner last night, but I felt really sick for the rest of the night. Fell asleep thinking I was going to throw up.
Got up with DS and made coffee. Now I'm drinking coffee in bed with DH while DS watches cartoons.

More cleaning today and then my friend A is coming over this morning to look at the house.

DH is still on the fence about getting a roommate, but last night we were discussing buying an electric car to replace his POS Sentra. Between the $ we'd save in gas, and the $ we'd save in bills, I think we could afford a car payment and make an extra payment toward our house.
We'll see.

Hope everyone who is sick/has sick kids starts to feel better soon.

Just had to try to explain what war is and why we have Memorial Day to DS (almost 4).  Ended up having to give up and walk away because I couldn't stop crying.  Can't check FB because it will make me cry more since everybody is posting about my Dad's Cousin who was lost in Afghanistan in 2010.  Then they fired off the 21 gun salute for the end of the ceremony in the cemetery across the street.  Basically, I am a mess and need to just go hide for a little bit.

Later we might try to go to the parade and then to the playground with our neighbors.

ShakeyJakey

I hate holidays on FB. It's like who can write the sappiest thing and be the most patriotic. I have military members in my family too but I usually don't post about it because seeing everyone else show boat leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm also pissed because my cousin listed our grandpa, her dad, her cousin and a nephew as veterans but left out my brother who's in the army. I almost commented on it but I think I'm just going to block her cracker eating ass.

MrsT0514

@msdrdg‌ im sorry for your loss. I am eternally grateful to those such as your dad's cousin that have given their lives serving our country. How incredibly selfless and courageous. Amazing.

msdrdg

Thanks @MrsT0514.  Didn't mean to Eeyore the thread.

I just turned on the TV and Edward Scissorhands was starting, so I know what I'll be doing for the next 2 hours.

Hope everyone who is sick or has sick babies get to feeling better.

We just got up at 10 this morning. She had so much fun at the park and then we went to a friends house and she was being so good we let her stay up until 1130.

Not fully sure what we are doing today probably just hanging out and grilling here.

ready-or-not

@ShakeyJakey‌ you should absolutely call her out on it!

Got way to much sun yesterday so am happy to see it cloudy today. Kids are all over me, like I have not peed, shit showered, slept, or basically moved w/o one of them next to me since last Tuesday & I am nearly at my breaking point. I love my children but omgosh. DH will be home shortly & is all happy go lucky rested up from his good times golf trip & is all "what are the plans what are we doing today". I wanna do nothing but I suspect I will be sucking it up & doing something.....I really don't remember sunburns hurting this bad when I was a kid!!

ShakeyJakey

Ready-or-not I wanted to and so did my mom but my brother told us he doesn't care and to not start drama. But it's still messed up, especially because she's the nicest cousin we have on that side so I was surprised she'd leave him out.

We're going to look at a house in an hour or so. DH found it this weekend and is in love with it. We shall see.

Good luck!

@ThisIsBrea‌ blow Lucroy a kiss for me!

Monkeybabe

I got a phone call at 7:30. My kid was sleeping, and so was I. I guess I'll go buy challah and then demand birthday naps as soon as I get home.

I spent about 45 mins pulling weeds in the 90 degree heat yesterday. I almost died! My really good guy friend loves yard work, so I'm thinking of doing a trade...sex for pulling weeds??? Not to shabby of a deal amirite?!?! Lol.

DreadLoc

my gym is open but yoga (and all the classes) are canceled and childcare is closed.

why even bother opening at all?

@ShamyCooler, I also hate pulling weeds. So does DH. That sounds like a good trade if you can find a guy who enjoys it!

I don't understand that either.

E is my shadow today. I just want to curl up in my chair and die in peace, but noooooo. Instead I'm sitting on the floor building Mega Blok towers for her to knock down.

littlestjerry

I just spent too much on this shitty little rug for DS' playroom that is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse farm scene and came with a tractor. Thankfully, he is loving it right now, and moving all his little MMC figurines around it. I am so painfully cheap, but I can't resist when it comes to DS! But, it really is tiny and shitty haha.

I really think exercising in the AM is REALLY helping me be productive during the day. Other weekends I was super lazy, like seriously wanting to veg and read and go on the computers, etc. But since I really started working out this past weekend by about 7:30am, I feel like I have gotten so much accomplished. I cleaned out DD's room, and the guest room, packed the suitcase for the hospital, and did all the normal cleaning stuff. It is amazing! DH has been on kid duty-but Reese has been lazy so that means that they have been laying in bed watching a lot of Care Bears and Daniel Tiger.

jesuisfatiguee

@Starearedkid - morning exercise can be such a great energy boost, good for you! 

Welp, DS and I just got rained out of our plans  My friend just moved and the inside of her house is not toddler friendly… so… Bummer. I wouldn't want to drive if the rain stays like this anyway, tho. 

loling at DS watching the rain out the window and periodically yelling, "uh-oh!"  Like, whats wrong, kid? Is something wrong with the sky?  

NotSharknado

Going to Lake Geneva for lunch and look for some houses for *maybe* summer home.

studyinpink

Grocery shopping done. Starting to rain here so we will just hang out and try to catch up on laundry and cleaning.

E took a nap and seems okay. She's needed Motrin but is still playing and happy.

just a tiny bit more low key than usual. Low key e is a silver lining so we can rest and watch tv/movies for most of the day.
