Stupid Weather

Today was my mom's birthday! I called her about borrowing a cooler and dropped a happy birthday on her then. I was happy to find out later that she and my dad had decided to go out. Even if it's something small, I feel like everyone should treat themselves one way or another. Doesn't even have to be your birthday!! Treats are good for lots of occasions. :)

I'm kind of bored right now, sitting here alone with YouTube going on 90s hits(thanks to a 30 day song challenge going around on Facebook that I just cannot participate in because my music interests are so undefinitive-I'm gonna google that-yay me!), and listening to the thunder. I'm thankful that Ally hasn't woken up yet. This isn't my weekend with her, but I'm off and I have her... Something else I'm very thankful for. Tim thought up this cook out idea to get the family together, so we got it planned for Sunday and asked to have Ally for it. I think she's been enjoying the extra time together. It's hard when I work like I do. The weather's being yucky and I'm wondering how things are going to go tomorrow...

I am so stiff and sore lately. I have this stupid rash on my thumb, mostly my right thumb but on a few other fingers. My sleeping patterns are wacky again. I can't tell you how many hours I slept the other day... It was a lot. I slept the night before, part of the day with Tim, then 9 hours the following night. It's crazy, but I felt more rested then than I had in a while. Still stiff as a board...

I worry about Ally. She seems to be like me with all these sensitivies. Poor girl was all red after her bath. I've stopped using the bubble bath. Boy, does she hate that!! Just doing the cream that was previously prescribed and getting new...WHITE...undies. Do you know how hard it is to find white undies for a girl?! Omg. Ugh. I don't care what anyone says. Kids in general are hard. Forget the "This gender is worse!" argument. No. It's all a hot mess. We love them nonetheless and with all our hearts.

Stupid weather. Stupid achy joints. How old am I, 80? Come on. Yawn, roar. Hoping for a quiet rest of the night. It'll be good to see everyone tomorrow and have the kids running around together again. Hopefully everyone enjoys themselves regardless of where the weather leads us. Til next time...
