Re: Manic Monday

  • Highs - Everything. We went to a BBQdinner a friend coordinated to help some families in the area meet other families. All the families had much younger children than Chase, but he swam in the pool and shot water guns back and forth with the little guys. We had a great time. Chase did not want to leave.   

    Saturday - we went to the beach and hung out and relaxed at the house, just the three of us. It was very nice.

    Sunday - Chase was invited to spend the night with a friend from school so DH suggested we take my parents out to dinner at their favorite resturant. They havent been in a really long time due to finances. My mom is currently under the knife having her gallbladder removed so we thought a nice dinner out the night before would help keep her mind occupied and calm her nerves.
    Then we came home and DH made up a nice little fire in the fire pit on the deck and we sat and had a glass of wine and talked about all the upcoming things we want to do with the new house. It was so nice to just sit and talk without Chase interupting every 30 seconds.

    Lows- Nothing really. Besides Chase being super super clingy to both Chris and I these last few days. Its like he wants our attention 24/7 these days. I think hes ready to have a house to ourselves back too.


  • Highs- being back in my own bed. Vacation was awesome, but my bed is a million times comfier. 

    Lows- having to make the drive back home. We didn't hit any traffic, which was a plus. My house looks like a bomb went off with open suitcases and laundry every where. So I'll be spending my day in front of the washer and dryer.

  • high: everything. lots of family time:) which I don't expect this time of year

    low: we had to be out and about a bit which I didn't love but its not reallly a low.  its still exhausting taking the baby out. we had a graduation party to go to and then my SIL's parents were in town so we had to go over to their house to introduce the baby. I mean I prefered going there to having people at our house, but again its exhausting
  • Highs - picnic was fun and relay for life. I ended up getting a tablet Saturday night :)

    Lows - I overdid Friday and that night I woke up to cramps in my legs and pretty much whole body hurt.

    Also my mom's friend came over Sunday. And she kept rubbing my belly says how big I am. It was awkward. And she kept going really low and I didn't know how to stop her... I mean I've known her my whole life, but boundaries people!

  • Highs - We had a bbq on Friday night that was a lot of fun. Shawn ended up not working on Sunday so he was home at least one day of the weekend.

    Lows - We went to a birthday party for my friend's son on Saturday. It was nice but all of the kids were in the pool and T is too little to really play in the pool. He normally just sort of floats around or clings to me when we're in our pool. He didn't understand why he couldn't play with them and had a meltdown. It was sad. We didn't stay long.

    Highs: The summer weekends are always awesome. We went to a pool party on Saturday and had a lot of fun. It was 4/5 families that are going to OBX with us, so it was a great preview of what's to come. Last night we went to a kids' concert in the park by our house and had a great time.

    Lows: not much....

  • Highs...We had a great Friday family night. We swam in the pool, had a quick dinner and just relaxed.

    Lows....One of our cats was not.eating so I had to take her to the vet. Turns out she's in kidney failure and we made the decision to put her to sleep. I'm taking her tonight.

     

  • @klm42404 I'm sorry to hear about your cat:(
  • Oh no, @klm42404!  I'm so sorry! :-(

    Highs - Our anniversary date was lovely.  We went to Chesapeake City.  First we stopped at Chesapeake Inn (aka where we had our first kiss) for a quick drink.  Then we strolled by the water and eventually headed to Bayard House for dinner, which was delicious.
    On Saturday I took my daddy out to lunch, which served as his Father's Day gift.  We had a nice time.
    On Sunday we met some friends for brunch at Kid's, which was so yummy.

    Lows - I felt like I was eating all weekend.  Probably because I was.  I need to make some changes to my diet soon and I got in a funk Sunday night just thinking about how hard it's going to be.  Sigh.
    Also, the US/Portugal game was exhilarating to watch...but ultimately SO frustrating!
  • @klm42404 - I'm so sorry about your cat!! 

    @amccul20 - Thanks. Teddy :(

  • @klm42404 - sorry about your cat. :(

    Highs - I got some actual cleaning done & the boys got to play outside.

    Lows - I'm worn down & I miss my husband. He's been working a lot & when he's not working, he's working on the truck. I understand it, but I don't necessarily like it.
  • Thanks everyone. This cat was M's buddy so that made me worry about her too. DH said she asked this morning about where"white kitty " was. Not sure how.many mornings she'll do that.
