Re: how was your weekend?
Sorry to hear about your uncle, Shmooz! Will be thinking of you and your family.
This weekend was kind of slow - it rained the whole time. We were supposed to go to a baseball game, which I was looking forward to, but we went to dinner instead. My first trip to The Melting Pot. Holy cow, was it good. I haven't been that full in YEARS - maybe in my whole life. I just kept eating one more bite...one more bite....one more bite. Had to unbutton my jeans right when I got in the car.
Mine has been okay. H has worked all 3 days so I've pretty much been on baby + house + dog duty on my own other than night time diaper changes. It's been a little rough since R has had an upset stomach and has been either fussy or nursing around the clock. So I guess the low light is being tired.
Highlight: went to lunch with friends yesterday, was very productive last night, and took H to lunch for Father's day before he went to work today. Also talked to a lactation consultant and am on a trial run for the next few days to see if that helps R's belly. Here's hoping because I hate seeing him miserable!
So sorry about your uncle.
Well, I worked saturday morning until 2 pm, then I had lunch with J and A. Then today we, went to church in the morning. We then had breakfast with my parents and the rest of the day we were at the beach. We had so much fun! A LOVES the water!
my weekend was so busy...i need a break now! ha!
Friday we prepped the house for the party, ran some errands and cooked some things. nothing crazy. i was in bed at a decent time which was nice.
Sat we had B's swim lesson at 8am...got off to a rough start bc the instructor had us go under the showers first with the kids and it was freezing cold+water being dumped on their heads=a lot of screaming toddlers. not good. so from there, B was pretty much not happy wiht being in the water. i think the class is too early for him...he doesn't love it. after that we came home and i finished the food for the party. friends started showing up at 5pm. the party was great! my Pina Colada cupcakes turned out amazing (so i'm told) and the one stand out recipe was Pioneer Woman's Firecracker Shrimp (check them out online). i had to put myself to bed at 915pm bc my stomach was sick...too many margaritas and i didnt eat that day. i wasn't drunk, it was wierd...i just felt so sick from the sugar i tihnk. oh well.
yesterday we had my grandparents and my dad and his gf over for a little cookout. pretty much prepped for that, took H to bfast to celebrate Fathers Day, and picked up the party mess.
i'm pooped.
Friday... after work I went shopping, got a pedicure, layed around inbetween laundry
Saturday... cleaned the house, went shopping, got my legs and other areas waxed, and had a ladies night and went downtown
Sunday... had brunch with my dad and then went to the Morse museum, took a nap, and did absolutely nothing the rest of the day
Here is a picture of me and my dad... don't think I ever realized how much I look like him until I saw this picture lol...
First weight loss goal - 40lbs... DONE! Second weight loss goal - 17lbs...
I'm sorry about your uncle Shmoozer.
My weekend was ok. Nothing too exciting. We had brunch at my grandma's on Sunday with my family and my uncle's family for Father's Day. We told them about my pregnancy. They were all thrilled and my grandma cried. I forgot to tell them not to tell anyone else though and my grandma has already told my ENTIRE extended family in less than 24 hours. Heck she probably did it in less than 5 hours. My second cousins and great uncles know already!
Shmooz - sorry about your unlce.
Blonde - cute pic! You totally look like your dad.
Madame - sorry R is dealing with tummy problems. Hope you guys figure out what's going on soon. It's miserable as a parent not knowing what is wrong. Once we figured it out with Genna it made a world of difference - it's like we have a new kid.
Weekend was ok. Friday I joined a parenting group in an effort to get myself and the girls out of the house more (and hopefully make some friends myself!). The air conditioned play area and water/pool days on Fridays is a huge plus as well. Ha. We were supposed to go to a music class there this morning but Gabby decided to wake up at 5am (wtf?) so she fell asleep for a nap right when we should have been leaving. Oh well.
Last week I won tickets for the circus. So we went Sunday afternoon before J had to work. Gabby LOVED it. I couldn't get over her reactions to the animals, the performers, the music. Even tho the tickets were free, we were iffy on going, but I am so so glad we did. Gabby would get excited at whatever was going on, clap/cheer/etc and then turn around and kiss and hug me or J - as if she was saying, "omg guys this is the best everrrr!" Over and over and over. LOL So funny. Genna was content thru the whole show as well. It's a shame J had to work tho, on Father's day. :-/
Despite the new job (which he is very happy with) he has held on to a part time position at the restaurant in order to keep our health insurance there - insurance isn't available yet at the new job, and when it is, we're not sure we want it - it will be double the price we're paying right now - ack!! - so he's thinking he will hold on to the insurance at the old job and just continue working just enough to cover the premium - which is usually one to two shifts a week - ugh - and then finally switch it over once he gets a raise at the new job. Or if I can find a job that will work me around his schedule in order to offset the higher cost of insurance. Boo! I've had zero luck so far tho finding something that will pay enough to make it worthwhile given the hours I am available. Gah!!
Ok, well THIS turned into a book.
