The girls finally started school today. I don't know why it started so late this year. They were thrilled. Hopefully they had a good day. Lily was thrilled too because she loves to go to the bus stop and seeing all the kids. There were about 20 at that stop.

tgrimes I love it! I'm on the hunt for a headless doll for Cadence's Wednesday costume. She said I could just cut the head off one of hers.

I can't wait to see pictures tgrimes! I had every Baby Sitter's Club book! I loved them! Interview went well. They actually asked me to come in an hour early, so I ended up cancelling my PTO for the afternoon. I have work to do anyway. I have some questions I need to email the owner, but I won't be surprised if they offer me the position. It is a little less than I currently make, but I see the potential for long term growth within the organization. Plus, the owner/president had his dog with him, which I love! I do think their benefits might be a financial issue since they're smaller, but we will see what happens.

Cass was thinking about being Coraline, but then switched to Jack Skellington. I'm not getting any costume stuff yet because I have a feeling she'll change that 6 more times.

Urgent cared called and asked if we could bring C early in case he needed X-rays because their X-ray tech needed to leave early. DH took him. They think his leg issue is viral so probably covid. He got another covid test done. After some ibuprofen, he was able to walk better.

My home test was negative. Phew!
I’ve been cleaning and searching for travel options. I have to book my flights to use my credits by this December, so I’m looking at my options. I want to book spring break, but everything is so high then. I’m looking at a New Years trip since M doesn’t start school until the 6th, but I’m not sure if the kids will be vaxxed yet. Decisions decisions.

We canceled our St Lucia trip for November. T and C are missing almost the whole month of September already and would need to quarantine again. We were told we could test positive for 3 more months. Do not want to test positive trying to fly home and end up in government quarantine in another country.

My migraine got worse. I napped with Mallory for an hour. Then my mil came to watch them because I had pto stuff. Then it was manageable without me so I slept while mil watched my kids and got M off the bus. Bless her. Then A got home shortly after she left and I've been in bed since. I'm not feeling any better but it's not worse. Mj is hanging out with me in bed. Hopefully I'm good by morning. Both boys have soccer pictures and games.

Hang in there, your body is building an immune response, so it's working! I think I felt off for 2-3 days. Hopefully this is the worst of it for you 🤞

kim22 I’m so sorry. I’m hope your family is over the worst soon. It sucks that you and your kids have to miss the beginning of school. Oh I’ve been meaning to ask. Do you get to decorate your own class? I would love to do that so bad… and probably would spend a fortune! ETA and the trip sucks even more… any chance you can go somewhere close to home? Just to get out?

klong11 oh I feel you dd came home Thursday with ‘teachers name voice was all weird and she was tired’ it’s like sitting on a time bomb. I’m guessing we would have heard something by now if I had something to worry about.

Ugh I’m sorry kim22. Can you rebook for spring break? Spring break is tied to Easter so it’s more expensive and probably sold out. I think in a few weeks, we will antibody test any kid who doesn’t end up positive this week and if we all have antibodies, I’ll see if there is a last minute trip within the US we can book.

Just to get out? I do get to decorate! I did not get a lot of time in the room because we only had a few days before we were supposed to start, then the school had some damage from the floods, now I have covid. I also need to rearrange because last time I was there, I had 4 kids and now I have 10. The teacher I replaced retired and left behind so much stuff, it’s going to take me all year to sort through it. We are not allowed to have rugs, dress up clothes, any soft toys like dolls and puppets yet because of covid rules. I’ll take pictures of the room so far when I go back next week. And yes, hoping to do a smaller scale trip closer to home. We haven’t told the kids yet we canceled, there week sucks enough right now.
