Good Morning.
How is everyone doing today?
sueg , I'm thinking good thoughts that baby Enzo comes home w/his family today and that Lucia is feeling so much better.
My migraine and I are going strong. I have to kick this thing to the curb. I have a weekend to heal.
What's on your plan today?
Dinner will likely be takeout or tacos for dh. I'm in no condition to cook.
What's on your menu?
May this weekend be fun, restorative and so relaxing for all.

scrapmaven - Enzo came home today mid afternoon. The girls are thrilled and it was an effort to get Sophia to her swim class as she didn’t want to leave him! Lu is back to her normal, cheeky self. She had her first ballet class and made it through swimming as well. Little kids are so resilient.

Have an enjoyable day. sueg , thank goodness that the baby is home with his two big sisters and his Oma. You are going to need a vacation after this trip. The girls are keeping you busy. How are the new parents doing? Linda, enjoy today. Thank you for the well wishes.

I have been cleaning up dog vomit ALL day😢 It started at midnight, and I thought it was a one of...We woke up to vomit in every room downstairs that she has access to. At this point it is bile....messy none the less. The vet cannot see her till 3, I was happy they had time for her. I feel bad as this is a girl who loves her kibble and cookies and despite feeling poorly she is looking for food.
Our dinner will be shrimp scampi, I have some baby spinach and grape tomatoes to add to it..so should be yummy.
sueg...Glad the baby is home, and the Girls are happy with him!!! scrapmaven hope that migraine is history soon, you have to be well for your vacation!!
Has anyone heard from the Bird house lady?? I am missing her!!

Hello from Tacoma!
Made it in last night and then had dinner with friends on Puget Sound. It's so nice to see Mt Rainier and be back in my hometown,
We're getting ready to head to the eastern side of the state for wine tasting. The weather is very cool here on the west side but should be in the upper 80s in the east.
Dinner tonight will be at our favorite Asian restaurant. We'll play games and hang out at the hotel in the evening.
Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Friday everyone and have a wonderful weekend! My daughter and her family went home the middle of the week and I miss my sweet grandbabies. My dad is still in the nursing home doing therapy but it's been a struggle he doesn't want to do one thing to help himself. The nursing home has threatened to kick him out. At this point I am worn out, we have a meeting next week to discuss his future with the center. As far as dinner it's been takeout most nights as we sit at nursing home most nights.

We had another brutal thunderstorm last night. Walker must be beginning to think that he lives under the bed since he’s there so often. Crazy climate change, I can’t remember ever having so many thunderstorms. The storm didn’t help the temp though, still very hot and humid.
I need to pick up Walkers preventative heartworm meds today at the vet, then pop into the grocery store and get some veggies. We are going to besties house tomorrow night for supper and I’m taking a veggie tray.
Thinking of those dealing with dog vomit, new grandbabies, stubborn parents fun travellers and everyone else.
Supper is undecided as of yet.

Got back from AquaFit and showered. We found out the heating system in the pool malfunctioned so that's why it was so cold on Wednesday. It's normally 82-84° but it was 78 Wednesday. Brrr. sueg , I'm so glad Enzo is finally home! scrapmaven prayers being said that you kick that migraine soon! Big hugs to everyone facing challenges, enjoying vacations, getting nails done and looking forward to the weekend. taylortroop , when I lived in Louisiana we had unbelievable thunderstorms just about every afternoon in the summer. The sky would turn black as night. DH and I got engaged during a really bad one ~ I took it as a sign from God that I should accept his proposal! Dinner will be pizza! TGIF!

leannec , I have a manicure buddy. Do you have a friend or neighbor who likes to get their nails done? Have an enjoyable day. My mum goes to the same salon but I would rather go alone I just hate that it takes 90 minutes for a fill (I have gel nails) ... too long and it's boring! Has anyone heard from the Bird house lady?? I am missing her!! I'm super worried! What colour are you going for leannecI always get some shade of pink because it's my fav colour! Last time it was neon ... this time it's a pale baby pink!

There is currently more food here than I know what to do with, and I’m going away for a few days on Monday. Trying to finish off rechauffe/food gifts at this point. I didn’t even make my pork & squash soup last night … guess I’ll wait a week on that. Dinner out tomorrow for DS’s birthday. oh scrapmaven, I’m so sorry the migraine is hanging on. Hope you start feeling better soon. sueg, I’m glad to hear Enzo is home and Lucia is feeling fine. Now fingers crossed that Sophia doesn’t catch it next. karenlou, hope your puppy’s tummy issues are easily fixed. Tearisci, so glad you’re having a great time on your trip. I’m sorry you’re dealing with an ill, difficult parent at this point in your life, hutchfan. Wishing him well, but you, too.

The birdhouse lady hasn’t posted since April I just checked. I hope everything’s OK. leannec 90 minutes for a fill? I have gel nails too. I’m only there at most 45 minutes. I don’t think I could sit for 90.

Boo to migraines scrapmaven. I hope it’s under control at this hour. 🤞🏻 Just got back from Michigan. Dd is doing well on the crutches. Helped her shower. Changed her dressing. And fed her. Her fiancée is on duty for the weekend. Drove through big storms and they just got to my house. christine58 has your mom had any luck finding her winter rental? littlemama are you familiar with Planterra? Dd wants to look at it for her wedding. There’s plenty of online pictures but no real info. leannec I wanted to get a mani-pedi today but got home too late. Having some Panera broccoli cheddar soup for dinner.

teddyw. Well, that’s the question of the day lol. That’s part of the crap that’s going on right now. We found a spot it was perfect. She would be a little bit closer to my niece and family than she was last year and it has a pool in a hot tub. My niece Erin actually knows where it is and said it was in a great area. So my mom was asking for a lease agreement to sign. There were a couple mistakes in the first like her name was spelled wrong, and they changed the amount of the security deposit. So she got an email saying that she’d have it at the end of the next day. It’s been two weeks. So she sent him an email today and we’ll see what over the weekend brings. Meanwhile, we keep looking. Thanks for asking.
