hey you guys so we just decided to come
to the beach today and just enjoy family
time once again like I told you we could
live here technically that's what we
would like to do eventually in the
future is possibly look at maybe buying
something here on the beach or in the
coastal area at least as much cooler in
Salem in the hundred here is only 63 oh
so much nicer anywho I just want to
check in and let you guys know what's up
for the day and it finally broke one
down so I think I'm just gonna take them
all off while I'm sitting here and then
maybe I'll sit tonight and do something
else with them anyways so yeah I'll
check in with you guys and let you guys
know what's going on it's really cloudy
today like foggy but it's really nice
it's not bad
first down their plan he's being in a
hundred degree weather in Salem what a
quick trip that one well we were only
here for about 40 minutes cuz a fly
landed on Omar and that was blow as the
end of that he made Ollie take him to
the car so I sat down here with the two
little ones for a while and all he sat
in the car was Omar until it was finally
time to say let's go
so anyways we're gonna take off and head
back home I'm gonna have a steak salad
for dinner tonight
there was a ton of a ton of them over
there earlier thinking about and yes
well sitting here I took off my nose
although I'll probably do when I get
home and here's my yummy steak salad and
for the entire salad it was only 450
calories so you can't beat that
hey so we reached oh my god this weekend
went so fast like uh I was just sitting
here thinking a little bit ago I'm like
where in the world did this week and go
but I guess it's just because I've been
so busy with the cleaning and just
trying to get stuff organized and stuff
that is just like that we can just and
then today we were just sitting around
and I was just like you know we've got
to go to the store we got to get a
couple odds and ends for the beginning
of the week and we got to go do that and
then all he was like well do you want to
just go into that right now and come
right back or you know what would you
rather do and I'm like well
I don't know it's like I don't have any
plans I don't I don't really have
anything to do so he was like well why
don't we take a trip to the beach and
just take a drive and I'm like and you
plan on getting out all them sand or
what and he's like well he's like one
we're probably gonna have to because the
kids are not gonna just let us go to the
beach without us getting our feet in the
sand so I was like okay that's fine so
we loaded up the toys and got everything
situated and then we drove up there and
oh so nice it was when we left Salem it
was 101 and when by the time we got
halfway to the coast it was already
dropped to 70 and then by the time we
actually got to the coast
it was 61 and it was really hazy and
foggy which I took some clips so I'll
put him in like for you to see but yeah
it was really fate like just real hazy
and like misty it was really weird it
was really strange I've never seen the
coast like that before so that was a
little interesting but there was like
hardly any wind barely any wind it
wasn't cold even though it was 61 it was
almost felt like a blanket I don't know
I don't know how to describe it but it
wasn't cold I was like um and so we got
out and wind sat on the beach for a
little bit and then I I had to land on
Omar's car that he was playing and that
was the end of that with him he come
flying around the corner of me and he
stood there he's like mummy take me to
the car and I'm like honey just wait you
know Ezra and Maya are still playing and
mummy stole is just sitting here
relaxing and he's like take me to the
car no because he didn't want to be out
there with these bugs and I'm just like
oh my gosh what do we have on our hands
here
and so finally we seen that he wasn't
gonna let up like it wasn't just a
little cute phase that he was just like
you know take me to the card
it was like please get me out of here so
oli went up and put him in the car and
sat with him and I sat on the beach for
a little bit longer with the two other
ones the Amarna sir our espera and Maya
because they were still having fun I
wasn't gonna make them leave just
because Omar didn't want to be down
there and so once that's all he got up
to the car to take Omar to the car he
gets over in the car and there is a fly
in the car in the car so not only was he
freaking out because of the fly on the
beach
now he's freaking out because there was
a fly in the car and all he's like I
don't know how they find him but they
find him and so he wigged out and Tolley
got the fly out of the car and then he
settled down after that I'm just like
this good it's like his that is like the
thing that he is just terrified of is
bugs in general and I don't know I you
know I'm not one of those type of
parents that will just be like you know
forcing him to to get over it because I
really don't know what started it other
than a few years ago when I was I had
sure shared a the story and one of my
other videos but um how we were in the
car and there was a bee in the car but I
I really didn't see that it stung him he
had a couple red spots on his body but I
never they never swelled up they nothing
in like they didn't act like a bee sting
area but ever since then that's that
just killed it like that literally just
took him out of the game with bugs so
and before that prior to any of that he
was the kid that would be climbing up on
the couch and all over the place to
catch the bugs and be holding him in
their hand or in his hand but now it's
like he can be totally playing and by in
I don't care if it is the littlest
littlest
a little bug fruit fly that child will
catch up by the corner of his eye and he
will book it to wherever he can find a
blanket and he will crawl underneath it
so yeah that's the joys we have with
that but it was a really good time we I
mean we enjoyed it it was a quicker a
quicker visit it wasn't you know we
weren't really like planning it so um it
was nice just to sit down there for a
little bit I think we were there for
maybe about 40 minutes ish maybe about
an hour and then we left and so it was
nice and then we came home well we had
to stop at the store and get a couple
items and then we came home and I bathe
the babies Jeremy I just took a shower
and we're gonna start doing our nightly
chores and then after that it's bedtime
I am really tired today and in fact I
was just telling ollie that I'm hoping
I'm not coming down with a little bug
but my stomach was really kind of
bothering me on the way up to the drive
are up to the coast
my stomach was kind of hurting in it
it's on my right side and it happens
every now and then I had went to the
doctors about it a few months ago and he
had explained that it could be something
to do with the bowels and something to
do with the bowels and getting and like
kind of inflamed and it can cost major
pain well every now and then which it
hasn't happened for a good two months it
happens and it hurts and sometimes I get
worried because um my I still have my
appendix but I did have appendicitis at
one time and so I couldn't get nervous
like oh I hope it's nothing that's gonna
starting any issues because I really am
NOT in any form of wanting a surgery
right now like I I want nothing to hold
me back
so um anyways
and then tonight when I came home I just
was like oh but it's okay
I'll brush it off tonight for dinner I
had and actually I had a change up
I had my steak salad and oh my gosh it
was so good and you know we were really
as I was looking up steak salads from
just like quick restaurants like just
Dairy Queen and where else there was
another place I was looking up a steak
solid but Dairy Queen was the one that
pointed or like triggered me I want to
say the solid was and this is for
chicken salad not I wasn't a steak fella
love let me clarify that it was like
almost 750 calories for a salad that is
like literally little like little little
and I was like oh I think I'm going home
and eating my salad um and all he made
me a good I mean I took a thing so I'm
gonna show it to you guys a good sized
salad and for the entire solid it was
only 450 calories like big difference
big difference so anyways that's what I
had for dinner for breakfast I had um
oatmeal and then I didn't eat again
until dinner so that was kind of a
bummer on my part I really didn't
I didn't plan good enough when we left
for the beach so I didn't have anything
that I could really take I did have I
put him in my drawer because I was
emptying out my purse but I take these
on-the-go just the regular Apple sauces
there these ones are Costco brand and
these are for one pouch there are 45
calories and honestly one pouch does
like it really honestly it gets me
through when I'm like really hungry or
something happens and I'm just like oh
I didn't eat anything and I'm feeling a
little bit like I need to probably eat
something because I'm starting to get
hungry I'll take this and it says no
sugar added it does put on there not a
low not a low calorie food but honestly
45 calories for this is not bad like I
mean not for me anyways um so I'll take
those and stick them in my purse just to
have for on-the-go also I usually have
like beef jerky sticks which only when
my children don't get ahold of it then
leave me with none so those are some
things that I have to add to my shopping
list but um yeah I just you know I carry
little snacks and stuff with me when I'm
what I do get hungry but I ended up not
even eating that one we were gone
so I was fine I felt fine until we came
home and then I just ate my salad right
away and that's it um there was
something I was gonna say and now I
can't think of it and then when I closed
with you guys I'm gonna think about it
and then it's gonna dawn on me and then
it's gonna be too late well I know one
thing I know I was gonna bring up was
okay on Tuesday for the live chat I was
saying 7 o'clock my time cuz I was
thinking that would be a better time for
everybody but I kind of didn't even
think about like around the world type
of time so if there is a better time
that works for everybody let me know and
I do not mind adjusting and refiguring
times and stuff that's totally fine we
have plenty of time to figure out the
times I'm thinking if I did like to stay
even 5 they'd put 8 o'clock I want to
say London time I think um so just let
me know
um Shushi let me know because I know
that Australia is on a different time
level and I know that that was one of
the things we're trying to figure out so
let me know you guys and I will
definitely work around everybody's
timing to the best of my ability so we
can all be a part of it again thank you
