Bluebird I would rsvp No and make plans with your family for the day. If your relationship with MIL/FIL is good I would make it a point to see if there is time in the AM before they head to SIL’s house where you guys can get together and they can see the kids.

I need my coworker to stop narrating her day out loud and join an online group like the rest of us.

I honestly don't know how it is Friday already. It feels like Monday was just a few days ago.

We are supposed to head to the mountains for a few days tomorrow but the weather looks awful and maybe snowy at our destination so we may delay til Sunday morning which is kind of a bummer.

I had to cancel yet another vacation for my kids because my dad is in the hospital (he has Alzheimer’s and now has pneumonia- when will this end). That coupled with a snowstorm where we were going means no spring break trip. So now I’m considering spending a small fortune for one night at a water park hotel just to do something.

That's a bunch of crummy reasons for the trip to be canceled. I bet the kids will have a nice time no matter what.

We made it to the mountains but the drive was nerve wracking. Thankfully we are now warm and mostly dry even though the dogs are being crazy.

This spring winter storm has been a doozy. We lost power last night along with more than 90% of our town and many of the surrounding towns. We were fine the first night but tonight we’re camping out at our old house, which also doesn’t have power but is warmer with the wood stove going. Hopefully we’ll get power back at both places tomorrow but I’m not sure school and daycare will be open.

UGH . i hope you get power restored soon. My sister is also without power and no restoration time in sight. Usually my neck of the woods is the area that loses power for days.

Yea I heard a lot of places got a ton of snow but were spared from power outages. We only got like 4” of snow but freezing rain all night, which made it really hard for any restoration work to happen for a good while. We have power back at the new house but not the old one yet. I hope your sister gets it back on soon. At least it’s supposed to warm up a bit. Schools were closed today but daycare was open.

Saturday's soccer games got cancelled because of Thursday/Friday storms, so I'm 99.9% positive tomorrow's games will also be cancelled because of Sunday/Monday storms.
This is what happens when Texas thunderstorm season mixes with Texas spring soccer season... half the season gets rained out and they scramble to fit all games in by the time summer season needs to begin.

Our softball season has been a mess. The front half was messed up because the county decided it was a great time to replace the lights on half the fields and then we had 1 or 2 good weekends before the rain started. We haven’t had a game in almost a month and maybe half of the practices have been able to happen. I don’t envy those in charge because it’s weather so they can’t really do anything but people are irritated that they’re getting like 30% of what they paid for.

We haven’t had a single rainout yet! I am shocked. There have been some very muddy games though,

Honestly, I think the softball complex is suffering from extreme mismanagement. The same 2-4 people has run the board for nearly 2 decades.

I wrote a whole thing earlier, but apparently didn't post it. Anyway, the baseball (and softball) fields flood here every time it rains, so games and practices are often cancelled even when it's not actively raining. I'm surprised that DS is able to have practice this afternoon.

I'm on a four-hour flight for work taking off late afternoon and I just saw in the American Airlines app that my plane is a Boeing 737. As if my travel anxiety wasn't bad enough.

Sometimes I think I have faith in humans again, and then I am scrolling through a page about contact dermatitis and the question listed first on it's common questions is "what's the difference between contact dermatitis and herpes". Also I have contact dermatitis all over my face and neck and not a clue why. So that's nifty.

This is probably too late now, but American doesn’t have any 737 MAX planes. If what I read is correct, United and Alaska are the only domestic carriers that do. Safe travels 😁
