I currently have almost every toy my kids own spread out in the living room. We can’t keep anything in the basement for a while so I’m trying to organize and purge some. I need to get it done quickly before n wakes up and sees my garbage pile.
H went down for a nap almost an hour ago. He’s still jabbering in his crib. I hope giving up the nuk doesn’t mean giving up naps too, or I’ll be giving that nuk right back!

Sunny41 in a deep pool? Maybe not. But I would let them supervise in a blow up pool or a toddler pool at a public swimming pool. Yes, I would take someone else’s kid to a pool with me.

Sunny41 In those circumstances--a weak swimmer with no CPR training, etc., plus one of the kids still being pretty young at 3, no, I wouldn't be comfortable. I might be more open to it if it was at a community pool with lifeguards and other adults around, but I'd probably still hesitate--beyond my own children's safety, I don't want to put a 16 y.o. kid in the position to potentially feel guilty for the rest of her life if the worst-case-scenario were to happen. I sat for a couple families with pools as a teen and the parents' rule was no swimming while the parents were out. That will be our rule now that we (temporarily) have a pool, as well. Your SD could likely make comparable money with a regular job, plus I feel like an actual job that she has to interview for, etc. looks better on a resume than babysitting, depending on what she wants to do for college and beyond. I guess that would be what I would encourage her to do--approach it from a more practical standpoint.

I would not be ok with that Sunny41. However I would be comfortable taking another kid to the pool. But I’m a good swimmer and likely more observant than a teenager (I think). |

I had 5 mimosas a brunch with the in laws. Then we hit up Home Depot for some pits and went on a bike ride to the park.
Now h is napping and M is snuggling me on the couch while watching Peter Pan. I wish I could take a nap though.

Sold the truck!
And a woman came for a dresser and also bought a China cabinet.
Then, I went to a neighbor down the street who has constant yard sales and asked if he wanted some inventory. He came by and practically cleared the house. It was great!
I think I'm done here. There is still furniture, but the buyers have said if I can't get rid of it they can after they move in, so. Yeah. I may just pack up my car and be done. I'll still need to.come back for the closing, but that's it.
I'm exhausted. And I may have broken my foot after two pieces of furniture landed on it, same spot both times. Oops.

Dh is off tomorrow because he works in Boston and it’s Patriots Day and marathon Monday. I can’t believe it’s been 5yrs since the Boston bombings. It feels simultaneously so long ago and just yesterday.
I’m jealous of his day off but he also is bringing C to school and I can get to work early so I can’t complain too much. I’m anxious to get some stuff done there and feel a little better about everything. My anxiety and insomnia are pretty bad right now so I’m hoping but gaining control of my to do list, it will improve.

That’s awesome @klongoria! Not about the foot. When do you close? Originally June 1st, but the buyers are ready when I am. So it will likely be the beginning or middle of May. My Aunt needs to come get her piano out of the house, which she is hoping to do at the end of April. I told her if she wants anything still in the house then she can have it. |

wedding My sister and BIL are in Boston right now! My BIL is running the marathon. However I don’t think the race will go well for most people because of the weather! They said it’s super windy and rainy.

Letty has become a nightmare to put to bed at night. Unless I give her melatonin she takes FOREVER to fall asleep. And I don’t wanna give melatonin every night! I’m considering doing away with her nap. Because this is terrible.

I’m considering doing away with her nap. Because this is terrible. All 4 of my sister’s kids stopped napping at 2. How long of a nap is she taking? Would just shortening it help? |

So I was flossing M’s teeth and part of he tooth came off. Remember how I told y’all she’s had a cavity there and the dentists were watching it because it was so close to the gum line and then my dentist put a filling there?
MH said it’s possible it’s just the filling. It looks pretty big to be only a filling to me though. I saved it just in case.
Looks like I’ll be calling the dentist tomorrow.
