Last week in July

Can you believe it?! This summer is going by way too fast.

How was everyone's weekend?? 
I didn't do anything except work. And get mad at work because I got my August schedule and I'm working every single Saturday&Sunday in August. WTF. I have 6 days off, 4 of which are my typical Tuesdays off, and 2 Fridays. I'm so irritated. I sent an email to the scheduler  because that is bullshit.
J is gone for the week for professional development to end his summer program. I'm kind of glad. We had a fight the other day and I'm still irritated so it will be nice to have the house to myself.

Today I have my CPR class for my program. It's the last thing I need to do besides order my scrub tops. yay!! I'm exhausted, though. I couldn't sleep and had to get up extra early to be there at 8am. ewww.

Re: Last week in July

  • Thats lame about your work jlq! also crappy you and h had a fight. I hate when that happens...but nice to have time alone! I wish some days for time alone. 

    Saturday was dh's surprise party. He was totally surprised which was awesome. It was a lot of fun and he was really happy with it. I did get time alone that day as we had dropped off the boys at my ils so I could clean while dh was doing work for our business. But being able to clean without worry about kids running or waking them while they nap was glorious.

    Yesterday was my friends wedding shower....it was a long one but still fun. SO MANY GAMES though. I like games but there was a lot. Also there was 105 people at the shower! Crazy!!

    This is my last full week until holidays! Next Monday is a holiday and then i work Tuesday and Wednesday we leave on vacation for two weeks! I cannot wait!!! I need a break! But vacation as a mom isnt vacation lol....blah! 

    In baby news my baby has two teeth coming through. Its funny because theyre lopsided. He has on the bottom the left centre tooth coming in and on top he has the right outside front tooth coming in. It'll be cute when theyre out enough to see. lol 
  • Hola. Hello Monday.

    Jlq I hope you can get tour schedule adjusted. It has got to be tough. I hope dh's professional development goes well and things are better when he comes back.

    Echo one more week! You got this. :-) glad the surprise party went great!

    As for me I am at CE today day 3 of 4. As someone who doesn't sit for long periods for a living this is a little tough. But lots of good information and I have gotten to see several classmates which is fun. Just crossing my fingers I am not getting sick...

  • Ooh Echo I can't believe I forgot to ask about your party!! I'm so glad it went well. Did you have a funny theme to do with balls. Sorry if that's rude, but I'm a weirdo and would have thought it funny. hahah! Like a round cake and such. 
    That is one crazy huge wedding shower!! Who invites that many people?!
    Vacation sounds aesome!! Did I miss where you were headed? Can you pack me in your suticase??

    Aggie are you still in Denver? Have you gotten to do anything fun?! I'll keep my fingers crossed you're not getting ill!

  • No theme for the party. It would have been smart! We call dh the sniper.

    It's a Greek/Italian wedding so there is over 400 people invited to the wedding.

    We're going to prince Edward Island on the east coast of Canada. My moms family is from there. I cannot wait!! 8 days!
  • Apparently I woke up to fall. It's chilly out! Pants it is. Yay for not needing to shave my legs!!! 
    My little sister is coming over for dinner tonight! I'm already glad to have her here and she's only been here a week!! We decided to make Tuesdays our dinner nights! 
    Friday we might go to Knoebles Amusement park. I'm excited! We've never been, and everyone keeps telling us how awesome it is. It's free to park, free to get in, and you only have to pay if you want to ride. On Friday evenings after 5pm then do a $10 all you can ride pass! The only thing it doesn't include is the big roller coasters, but you can go earlier and just pay separate to ride those. It's like $2 or something to ride them. Should be fun!!! 

    Oh Echo your trip sounds wonderful! I'll meet you there. hahahah!!!

    I am back from my mini vacation. It was so good to see my sister. See is excited about her wedding but also hates all the planning and decision. My mom is driving her crazy Lol! She did decide on colors while I was there; grey, lime green and pink. I am guessing fuschia bright deep pink but I am not sure! I think she also selected a save the date idea. She wants to get those out by end of Aug.

    We went to the beach on Sat. It was so nice just to sit and be. We went to a party hold by her Future IL's. Parts of it were terrible. If one more person said I was from upstate NY and how do you live there it snow all the time blah blah. I was about to punch everyone. As you all know I love Buffalo! And I hate when people pick on it. And I kept saying I am from Buffalo but live outside of Rochester now. That's the same thing isn't. NOO! They are like 1 1/2 drive. I can be in MA and RI from here that's the same thing as CT right? Stupid rude people!! "Upstate NY" is beautiful you should visit it sometime! Much better than shitty ass CT.

    Also I can't believe it already almost August! Where did the summer go!

  • Degrea I loved your rant about people picking on upstate NY. That made me laugh.
    I'm glad you had fun with your sister!! I think it's funny she hates planning, so did I. Most people think it's so much fun until they get engaged and have to actually do it. 

    My semester starts August 18th. So soon!!!!

  • Another day another dollar. 
    My sister and I watched New Girl and ate ice cream last night. hahaha. We're so boring. She told me she doesn't know what to do with herself now because she's not used to not working. I told her enjoy it now because school starts in a few weeks, then she'll be wishing she wasn't busy. hah!

  • seriously what i would do to be on vacation NOW!

    I am beyond exhausted. DS2 hasnt been sleeping well because hes teething. Last night we were up at least every 1.5 hours but most often every hour. And dh isnt home till 730 tonight.....going to be a long afternoon after nap....assuming ds1 naps. I will probably be a bad mom once my daycare kids leave and watch a lot of tv with ds1.

    Being a bad mama is totally okay!

    Eating ice cream and watching tv is perfectly acceptable!

  • Yonana machine pretty much takes any frozen fruit and a banana and makes it into ice cream. You could achieve the same thing with a blende or something but this is perfect texture.
  • Uhm, that sounds awesome.

  • I just finished reading Heat Wave. Thanks for the recommendation Aggie! I very much liked it. Quick read that keeps guessing with a side of humor and romance. It is a crappy day here. Not raining but looks like it might any minute. Enjoy your holiday echo.
