Re: Thursday randoms!
i want summer back. I can't recall the last time I pulled the cover off of the pool. Booo. It has probably been a week or more.
we had someone come look at the worst of our 3 bathrooms yesterday and are waiting for the quote. I am super excited to have the room improved. hopefully the quote will be in align with what we expect it to cost.
i am on vacation next week! just staying home with EJ most of the week. K is taking a couple days too. Should be fun.
My weekend includes 24 glorious hours of husband and kid free time. I can. not. wait!!!

Not a fan of this weather either - I need a little more warmth and a lot more sun.
I don't know what to eat for lunch and I'm starving.
We bribed Brody with a new airplane (from the movie Planes) if he slept in his bed all night for 3 nights. He did it! Last night was the 3rd night and he gets his new plane and I got 3 nights without a 3rd person in my bed.
I went to a zumba class on Tues night for the first time in a month. It was 90 minutes and I'm still kind of sore. (in a good way) I missed it and I hope I can get back in to a routine.
I'm in love with the current weather and would be ecstatic if the warm weather did not return.
My sister's coming home for the week and I'm excited about a family trip to the zoo (minus steve, who's friend from high school is coming to visit to see a Pirates game). She also convinced me to take a barre class with her monday night. I think I'm going to regret saying yes to that.
I'm crushed about the big fire at the Conneaut Lake Beach Club. We loved to dock our boat, listen to the music and buy drinks from their "down under" bar.
The park was slowly improving, and there's a travel channel crew there this week filming some renovations they're doing, and then this fire hits and destroys the businesses there that were actually making money.
My youngest sister has been going to barre classes in Wexford and loves it. She occasionally drags my other sister and she always says she is so sore but loves it. I would love to try it but I am way to cheap to spend $15 per class at least 3 times a week.
I wish the mailman would get here so I can get lunch, I am starving.
I really want someone to come unpack all my boxes for me and organize my house. Sounds like an exciting weekend for me!
I really want to paint the new house, but we have to decide what we are doing with the wood first. Also, if one more person tells my husband they love the wood just the way it is, I may impale them with said wood.
ITA! I need to swealter in the summer so I can warm up and appreciate when the weather starts to cool off. I can't believe how hot it was 2 weeks ago and now this! And it doesn't look like its going to change. We are going to amusement park on Sunday that has water rides and I seriously think it will be too chilly...Can't believe that is possible in August!!'
i really wish we could take a week off for a quick trip to the in laws (near beach) but dh can't get away from work until September or October. But then dd will be in school and I don't want to take her out for a week.
I can't believe it's already August! I feel like the summer has flown by. Dd will be done with daycare in a few weeks and I seriously can't believe the first day of school is around the corner'!
I love, love, love this weather! If it never broke 85 again I'd be totally fine with that. Don't get me wrong, I hate the cold as well, but I could live in the 70's for the rest of my life and never complain. Especially since our firepit is officially operational. I can't wait to enjoy it this weekend!
I feel so bad for Lanna. She had to have another tooth extracted and a root canal/cap yesterday and now she's in so much pain. And to top it off, she's got this random fever. I really hope she is better by the weekend.
I'm taking the kids to an art class tomorrow. I asked Wes if he was excited to go to art class and he said "what da heck is dat?" I don't really know what they do at an art class for kids so I couldn't even tell him!
Add me to the "loving this weather" club. it's the perfect setting...no humidity, sunny, but not hot enough that it makes me cranky just to step outside. I will be thrilled if it stays like this the rest of summer, then goes straight into fall.
I had the day off yesterday for a dr's appointment, got all confused on what day it was when I woke up this morning (thinking it was a weekend since I wasn't at work yesterday)...imagine my disappointment when I realized I had to drag myself out of bed and come into the office! Blah. at least it's Friday.
We really need to move Liam out of his crib & into a bed; he continues to try to climb out and I know we just need to bite the bullet and do it because I don't want him to get hurt, but ugh...I'm nervous so I keep putting it off. he's such a good sleeper, goes down without a fuss, rarely wakes up, and takes his naps without any protesting. I'm so scared to mess up a good thing!!
