I think I might have bronchitis. Is that when you're constantly coughing, your throat is on fire, & you're spitting up mucous?

NamasteBirches oh no! Several people I know are sick right now. I blame the colder spring. With bronchitis I feel all of that plus "wet" lungs.

We had flurries here this morning. After having a nice weekend.
There was one spot available for private swim lessons through parks & rec and I managed to snag it for DD. She's been begging to take lessons again and based on her previous lessons, she did better with private than group.

E has her 18 month developmental appointment at the hospital she was born. I always get so nervous something will be wrong or she is far behind in meeting her milestones. Having anxiety and parenting isn't a good mix sometimes.

It's snowing here. O____________O This past Saturday was our 1st soccer game & they only had one practice that Friday night because the fields have been closed & due to the weather. It was raining too. I was pissed they didn't cancel it. The coach kept saying 'this is what spring soccer is'. Yea ok but I can still disagree with it. You're talking 5 & 6 year olds here. It's not that serious. Sure, older kids can handle it but it was frigid cold. There were kids clearly not dressed for it & shivering. She wanted us to come 40 minutes early for practice. Yea right. We showed up right at game start. It was bad enough. Anyway, our fields are closed until next Monday now & Saturday's game is a home game so I guess it's canceled (last week was away.) We're just not off to a good start here. I'm not complaining especially with this sickness I have. Blahhh

DD went on her first away playdate today. Previously she didn’t even want to hear about going to play at someone else’s house if I wasn’t coming as well. Today after school a friend invited her and she handed me her bag and was ready to go. Went to pick her up a little while ago and she had a great time.

I’m currently sitting in a message chair, just got a mani/pedi. So relaxing.
It’s so gloomy here today. Better than the downpours we had yesterday though.

It's nice here again, but it's still cold. We've been looking into buying a new grill. Ours needed replaced last year but we put it off. I'm liking the tabletop grills with a griddle instead of grates.

DS' speech therapist at school emailed me the other day so matter of factly with a day & time which was in the middle of the day during a special with when her & his teacher is available for the end of the year IEP meeting. Does that work? I feel like they totally take advantage of me because they know my schedule is somewhat flexible but you know what, DH wants to be there so no, you're not just going to get it easy here to squeeze it in during the day like it's nothing. His 2 years of preschool all our meetings were after school. This year everyone is starting to get a bit ridiculous. DH & I are a team so excuse me if I want my husband there. These people are really starting to annoy me. I can't wait for this year to be over.

NamasteBirches that's annoyingly presumptuous of them. Glad you said no. Your DS has two parents, they should know that.

A tree crew has been in my back yard most of the morning. They're working on the trees behind us that belong to the neighbors. One tree is nasty and rotting. I really hope it comes down but my idiot neighbors probably want to just trim.

NamasteBirches I just had the same thing! Got an e-mail this morning saying DD has an appointment with a speech therapist next Tuesday. Erm, ok...... I knew she had one coming since that is a standard check here around the time kids turn 5. But let me know a little more in advance!

I told her the earliest we could meet is 3:30 & she must have interpreted that as meaning that specific day she gave because she responded with is there any Wednesday you can meet during that time period DS' teacher is available? NO!!!!!! What's funny is she's going to school to become a principal. If she's not prepared to stay late at school, then she's in for a rude awakening.

We had our first soccer practice last night. Our fields are closed so I guess they arranged to have it at the middle school football field. The team level above us practiced inside like smart people because the field was still kind of swampy & we were outside in the cold. This coach is something else. We were also supposed to scrimmage with them but they didn't bring their cleats because they were practicing inside so practice was just a mess. Then we're like the only people that bring chairs to sit on. It's so awkward. I heard someone say that she didn't even think of it & someone else say like they're not even in the mindset of it yet, etc. I wasn't sure whether or not to take it as snarky. Excuse us for not wanting to stand for an hour. DH is on his feet practically all day & I'm (fx) coming off of this sickness I've had for weeks. Soccer practice is our time to relax so yes, chairs are on our mind. TBH, it's probably because we only have one kid to focus on. All we hear with their talk is shuffling their other kids here & there, it's just so unrelatable. Lol

DD has a dentist appointment after school. DH is going to game night after work so it's just me and kiddo all evening. I'm irrationally excited because afterwards we'll come home and have Mac & cheese for dinner. Yummy!

oy so our soccer game tomorrow is canceled because our fields are closed. This coach I guess is anal about rescheduling it & put out a poll about whether we'd be okay with a Sunday game next week. We have a game next Saturday too. I was the only one to vote no. Like wtf, I feel like our whole weekend would be a goner then. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH sorry, I feel like all I've been doing is complaining about something lately but wth, everything has just been a mess.

No thanks. thanks especially when at practice she mentioned it was good the other team practices the same nights we do so she was hinting at doing it one of those days later on. I asked DS his thoughts & of course he was all yeah right on (as long as it doesn't rain) but I worry about his enthusiasm when the time actually comes as well. He'll probably whine about "anotherrr soccer gammmeeee". Whine whine whine. Lol

Unless the parents are pushing for a professional contract at 18.

A note came home from the school library that a book DD checked out is overdue. I know she's had this book at least two weeks and kept asking her why she hadn't returned it. There's no fees....yet. I told her she's to turn it in on Monday or the fees will be paid with her piggy bank. She got this worried look on her face when I told her that. Kid, you're 7. You were given plenty of reminders to return it. It's called being responsible for your actions/inactions.
