If by pantry you mean bathroom, then yes.

We had 95% and it was soo cool to watch through the glasses. We had glasses for everyone and I attached them to a paper plate to keep the girls from looking over or around them. DD2 wanted nothing to do with them. But here is a picture if DD1 with them on. At 95% I expected more darkness and such that would go with it. But it dimmed just slightly. The crickets did start chirping but nothing else weird. I do want to go see totality next time as does H. I read as I have a few minutes here or there during the day. 90% of the time I start typing something and get interrupted and can never finish. No pantry here and unless H is home the bathroom door is always open. No privacy here

No pantry here, but I definitely hide in my kitchen while they play upstairs. Lord knows I spend enough time cooking that they expect me to be here. 😂

I think splash pad days are jut about over. We haven't had a high in the 80s in weeks. Today is a whopping 71 degrees. It's beautiful, but definitely cooler. I need to change my plans a bit I guess.

I received some thieves cleaner at an oils class I went to yesterday. Now I want to clean all the things. Not a bad thing considering my recent motivation.

Lord knows I spend enough time cooking that they expect me to be here. 😂 That's how I do a lot of my posting, too - from the kitchen in between getting things ready. Every morning while I get my coffee ready I briefly catch up on the news, get on here to see what's going on, and check my email.

S was a champ at the dentist today. He had to get a cavity filled and he barely made a peep the whole time. He said "ow" when the dentist used the needle to freeze his gums.
I've taken my drugs, I don't think they're helping. I'd see about going to the chiropractor or for a massage tomorrow, but as I understand it, H's benefits only get direct billed for vision and dental, everything else we have to pay up front and submit receipts.

dizzycooks that sounds like my version of a nightmare. Amusement of the night L now showers on her own. We don't have a tub and have been using the utility sink and or showering with her. Tonight she got in the shower on her own and demanded water. How are they becoming their own people already?!?

dizzycooks - have you seen the movie Hot Fuzz? It satirizes community associations quite fabulously! Do you live in a community with an association? You have my deepest sympathies.

I'll have to check that out. Our townhouse is in an association. We moved and I will never never never live in one again. Ever. So much more drama than I need.

My ability to shower (which I don't recall doing that young) is part of the reason I only have one sibling. My mom was considering going for #3 when she realized that I was showering on my own, and had just made a pb&j sandwich for myself with no help, and my sister was potty trained and she was like "NOPE!!" Lol. And then she made my dad get snipped, because we were both the result of her skipping one pill.

I just had to try to explain depression to my 5 year old. He asked why I was so mad all the time. I think he got the gist of it. I compared the chemical imbalance to a seesaw. We agreed to try to give each other a break.

Like they get that fights make us sad and our partners are like "why are you crying?". Or they'll just give you a hug bc you're quiet. It's so sweet. Adults don't do that for each other. Oh to be little.

I'm heading to the arboretum today. It's starting to hit me that my biggest is going to school in 8 days. 😭 not ready. If I were working I'd just be I denial about where she was spending her day, but she's actually going to be gone. I got her bus info yesterday. My baby....is getting so big. And my actual baby is definitely a toddler even if she still doesn't weight 20lbs or talk.

I really wish I knew what I did to my neck. I'm dying. dizzycooks I feel you. We have to buy S's school supplies this weekend. He's going to grade 1. It's the first time he'll be going full days. It's going to be an adjustment. I have to figure out what time we have to get up to get him there on time. Last year he only went for the afternoon, so we woke up when we wanted. This is a whole new level of structure for us and I'm not sure how we'll all react to it. I'm also not sure what I'm going to do with myself all day. There's like 3 extra hours to fill in the mornings.

The preschool that S went to has a crappy website. I'm trying to figure out when I need to register M, this coming January or the next. I can't remember when she needs to be 3 by. If it's March like the public schools, I'll need to go for the registration day in January of 2018. If it's 3 by the first day of school, it will be 2019, and she'll be almost 4 when she starts in the 3 year old class. I'll have to email them to figure it out.

We're finally most of the way over jet lag. It has actually gone a bit faster this time than usual - probably because we were so exhausted after our travels that we've just collapsed. It also helps that DD3 is the most flexible sleeper of the 3 girls. Definitely glad she was our third!!
I'm struggling at the moment deciding what to do to help out a good friend. We've been like sisters since we were kids. In her family money was always tight, and she never learned how to save. That got her in big trouble 2 months ago when she lost her job and didn't have enough to pay rent (she divorced last year so no other income). I helped, and Tues I went with her to a financial planning office to help her figure out how to set things up so she can put a little something aside. During that meeting, I found out that her total credit card debt is way less than I thought it would be, which is great. It's actually well within the realm of what DH and I donate each year, so I'm trying to decide whether we should give part of our donation to her to pay off her credit card debt. On the one hand, that would be a huge help to her and not a big deal for us. On the other hand, I don't want to just pay off this debt for her not knowing whether she has really changed her spending habits. If I pay off this debt, will she start getting more? She has told herself she won't be getting any new credit cards, but I don't want to turn into someone who polices that. But if we paid off this debt and in a year I found out she got more credit cards and got into debt, I would be kind of annoyed. So I don't know. I want to help, but I don't want to damage our friendship in any way.

@crimsonand clover I wouldn't touch that for so many reasons. Honestly I think the satisfaction and accomplishment she feels for paying off her own debt would be very beneficial for her long term. Perhaps there's another way you can help so she can work on paying down her debt? Take her kids back to school shopping? Buy her a supply of groceries for back to school (granola bars, applesauces, easy snacks, etc) so she can focus on other things?
