I turn 40 this week and yet I’m fine with it 😂
My sister also will most likely have the baby this week so I will become and auntie again.
I got to spend time with her and the kids yesterday. I know we aren’t supposed to have our favorites but my nephew gets me in the feels every time with his hugs and need to be right next to me

Also dd is sick again and it’s been the worst school year for her wfh sickness.
Luckily she was off today for the eclipse so she has time to rest but they are doing an attendance contest this month and I’m irritated by that

Also happy birthday

My oldest is in competition dance and we have competitions 3 of the 4 weekends this month. We had the first one this past weekend and it was crazy but she had a lot of fun. This month is going to be busy.

I might be that mom over this- it's such poor policy for so many reasons. I hope she feels better.

My library was giving out eclipse glasses but we, predictably, ran out a couple of days ago. We have gotten non stop phone calls so far today asking if we have them. Non stop.

I need this day to be over. The kids' schools said no parents. So I'm at work where there are way too many people in my building who don't know what to do with themselves.

This is also week 2/2 of soccer and baseball overlapping. So we have 2 soccer games, 2 baseball practices, and swim lessons. It's great. I love it. I'm already tired and we haven't even started it yet. At least after Saturday we're done with soccer until September.

And the amount of people being actually angry at us for running out. I work at a used bookstore and we were giving them out for free but ran out on Thursday. We had multiple people try to talk us out of the pairs we sat aside for employees, who yelled at us because we didn’t have any more available. Dude, if you are so hard pressed, go buy some! Our science museum just got restocked!

I’m assuming they have been having attendance issues because all year they have been sending out things about how important attendance is and I know they have state testing this month but also 🤷♀️ Covid taught us to keep our kids home while sick

Today is my only day working this week. SO is coming to town this week so I took the rest of the week off and I'm going to spend what I can with him. Still have to do get DS to and from school (he's back tomorrow) and do the normal dinners and karate and whatnot.

I'm thankful the schools got all the kids eclipse glasses. It's happening literally at pickup (the peak) and I'm sure it's gonna be a shit show for the teachers, I don't envy them

I bought a bunch of new bras online on Friday and when I got the shipment emails today, I was reminded that 2 of the orders are coming internationally, so hopefully I get to see them sometime soon 🤞

I made eclipse cookies with DS2 this morning. Our block is having an eclipse party this afternoon and it should be fun! DS1 is all about it- his teenage self has lived his best life this spring break! He’s so into the science behind this.

I'm always so baffled when schools do stuff like that, why are we encouraging kids to come to school when they don't feel well. There are a million other things that they could recognize that would be more impactful and less Typhoid Mary.

I fully believe my dad’s must go to school minus vomiting or fevers for why I constantly feel bad when calling in sick and end up at work. My old boss didn’t help that either as she had the same mentality

We've seriously gotten hundreds of phone calls. Did all these people just wake up today and find out?

My old boss didn’t help that either as she had the same mentality For sure. A few jobs ago, a girl came to work obviously sick and I heard her on the phone telling someone that she had just gone to the doctor and got a positive strep test and I was so mad that she came to work knowing she was contagious. It was the only time I ever reported someone to HR.

One douchey man called to ask what was happening on campus, and I tried to direct him to our website when I didn't want to read him the entire list of events. He snapped back "Well I'm DRIVING right now." And you didn't think to look at where you might go when you got here??

Apparently between classes was getting bad for a while.

Y'all I'm a dumbass. I was 💯 sure I saved our glasses from the ring of fire eclipse last year. I figured I put them in a drawer where I usually keep stuff. Did I check for them before today? No, no I did not. I work at a grocery store and I could have bought some weeks ago.
I opened that drawer an hour ago and nope. Tore the house apart. I'm incredulous that I would have decided to toss them knowing this was happening. But I guess I must have and blocked it out and figured I'd buy new ones.
MH saved the day and found 3 pair at a gas station. We're driving up to DS's daycare and will pull him out to see it. They were going to take the kids out but decided not to, so we're going to do this instead. I'm hoping he goes back in without a fight so I can still have a couple hours to relax lol.
