Today was so long. I love the sports, but 6 hours of baseball/tball is a lot. Landon’s team has been together since they were little and playing tball, and they are actually really good now. Like, undefeated. Unfortunately Landon is.... not that good. He’s not awful, but he’s definitely one of the worst on the team. And it’s sucks because he knows it and gets in his head when he makes a bad play and then plays even worse. And it’s hard for S and I because we are both very athletic and very competitive and Landon just doesn’t have that competitive drive. I keep telling him he doesn’t have to play if he doesn’t want to, and for know he says he does want to, but I wonder how long it will last. It makes me sad and it makes my heart hurt for him when I know he’s getting down on himself.
Also, C is three months today. Why is time Moving so fast.

Oh, and my kids most likely won’t have school starting Thursday, until who knows when. There’s been a huge movement here called redfored trying to get our governor to increase school funding and actually get our teachers a liveable wage. It’s not happening and if it doesn’t by Thursday there is a statewide walkout. I’m proud of the movement and support it 100%, but it’s a little scary too.

Did you hear the Kentucky governor blamed teachers for their students being sexually abused while they were on strike?

The movie was ok. Not as good as I was hoping, which is kind of disappointing. There were a few jump scares, but it wasn't really scary. I give it a sideways thumb. 💁

But we have our own assholes here making idiotic statements... I have to stay out of the comments sections.

They have the lowest wages in the US or sumshit. It lasted 2 weeks. They didn’t get what they asked for & the legislators already repealed the main way they were going to increase their wages. It’s ridiculous. Hopefully AZ will pull their heads out of their asses & actually help the teachers.

Hi chickies.
MH went out last night with some friends so he’s still in bed, I’m drinking hot coffee and using the force to melt the last little bit of snow in the yard. B is ‘reading’ a new Star Wars book that he got yesterday, and J is nattering in her crib.
Another busy day here, after the house clean this morning we’re all going to the shoe store, I already know it’s a terrible idea but damn do i hate buying multiple shoes for the kids then returning them after they try them on.

What you can do is trace their feet on cardboard and take the cardboard cutouts with you. This has helped me avoid having to take LO with me shoe shopping.

It works even better if you take the sole out of the shoe and measure the cut out on that.

Good idea chrisy01 and nam2013 and that may work for B but I’m in the awkward phase of figuring out what kind of feet J has for shoes, hers are wide and a little fat so i need her whole foot for trying on.

I am hoping for a lady Sunday. The cousins will stop by for just a little before they head home. I did so much walking and standing over the last 2days my legs are sore and need the foam roller. MH is going out with friends tonight so I get some alone time that doesn't involve the gym

She tried to negotiate to get my Monday mid shift versus the closing shift. I said no. She's late coming in for the closing shift. I would get angry if she is late to the mid shift and I had to work the closing shift.

Does anyone here wear Rothy's? I need a new classic work shoe and I'm wondering if they are supportive enough.

Awesome news, lahdeedah! That's certainly daunting, xolastunicornxo. It's an embarrassment how we (fail to) fund education in this country. I don't think it's a coincidence that our country is constantly falling lower on all the best country for xyz lists. Our priorities are so messed up.

I tried my long run and gutted it out to 16 miles with 3 more miles of alternating between walking and running to get home. I thought I had it in me, but by mile 12, it was clear that I was wrong. It's such a shitty way to end my training cycle, so I may try to get in 10 miles or so tomorrow to at least make it more of a 2 day hard workout, then taper.
Anyhow, now I'm home with Chase while DH and Colin are at skating. He's so bruised up - the remnants of a black eye from last weekend and last night he ran into either the door or the table with the other side of his face. Thank goodness he's equally clumsy at school, I guess, no one ever side eyes us about his poor little face. The number of times Colin bonks himself in the face at school and gets a bloody nose probably helps. They are so my kids!

I have a little fold up plastic foot measure at home that I use for ordering shoes online, but have the same issue with wideness/fatness. Stride Rite XW and Keens work the best for us. The Keens are extra tall and lasted me through 3 kids!
