Hi! Busy day here. I had to pick my niece and nephew up this morning who are also 2 and 4. Dropped N and my nephew at preschool and took H and my niece to ECFE, then picked the big kids up from school. Brought everyone home for lunch and now 3 are napping. I need to get so much done since we have a babysitter tonight and we’re leaving again tomorrow for the weekend. Also wanted to work out, but not sure how to squeeze that in.

Our friends met us at the zoo and we had a great time; I may join, it would pay for itself after 2 visits and they have a splash pad, so that would be fun this summer. We're home now, had lunch, and C is literally bouncing up and down with happiness watching that Disneyland Sing-along video we've discussed here before. She calls it "mouse" and it's the cutest thing. So here's my question about these crunching, snoring, generally noisy husbands...is this a nature or nurture thing? B/c my husband, while not perfect, doesn't really have these issues, and is a pretty considerate person to live with. So I just wonder if I just got lucky, or if his mother beat all this into him at an early age, and if so, that will be my plan with B

flamingo we got an unlimited pass for the zoo, it was so worth it! Plus My husband is like yours . So either we’re both lucky, they had similar moms or we tamed the stallions 😉. ETA words...

I just got a text that my grandmother is in the hospital. She's not a delightful woman, but I do have sympathy for the amount of loss she's had in her life. I'm sure losing my aunt this last month is contributing to her worsening condition. Aww, very sorry to hear. It just goes against the natural order of things for a parent to lose a child. To lose 2 would be incredibly difficult. Hugs to your family. Unfortunately, she's lost four children. Only my Aunt M (the youngest of five is still alive. It's very sad

Pete is the loudest everything ever. I would swear he was raised by wolves. His family never ate at the dinner table and he doesn't know about this thing called a trash can.

I just saw that they are giving the teachers their raises xolastunicornxo! I hope they are substantial enough to make a difference. Eh, it’s really not a win. Our legislators are the worst and so is our governor. They’re offering 20% over three years, but it doesn’t include any support staff and they really can’t promise the funds will be there. They also didn’t do anything for school funding and class sizes. Basically they’re turning people against our teachers by claiming they’re being greedy for still fighting after the got the raise. It’s a mess, but I think we have momentum going and the walkout *should* end tomorrow and they will pick the fight back up in November. So it’s a babystep in the right direction at least and the I meant had a lot of momentum and support that will hopefully carry until elections. Also, hi! Sorry I haven’t been around! Obviously this teacher walkout had been a bit crazy and by the time I catch up on the threads is so late in the day I don’t feel like I can jump in! Happy anniversary yummeecookee and snoopmommymom and happy late bday lfig! I apologized if I’m missing anyone else!!

I can sleep through anything, so maybe I would like to trade snoring and grunting and coughing for putting something back in the fridge where it belongs (instead of the top shelf which is where he thinks everything goes)

I guess this world just wants to pay the big dollars to reality "stars" and athletes instead of the people who give us doctors, lawyers, dentists, and well, government officials. It's a sad world.

Cadence's little friend just recently broke her arm from jumping on the bed. Cadence likes the purple cast she "gets" to wear now. I've explained to her that having a cast means you don't get to swim, or do gymnastics, or even take a bath without a lot of struggle. The cast can't get wet and has to be wrapped in plastic. She still thinks it's cool and wants one.

Alex lost his wallet on Tuesday. We cancelled all his cards and reordered and I got him cash to get through. But he also had $150 in cash for his truck project in it and he was very upset to lose that. He literally never carries cash and never loses his wallet. But of course they both happen on the same day. Well I just got the mail and someone found it and sent it to us! And everything was in it! So sweet of them! I saved their address and am going to pick up a card and gift card. They even sent it priority so it got here fast.

Happy anniversary yummeecookee and snoopmommymom and happy late bday lfig ! I apologized if I’m missing anyone else!! I feel the same way about the situation in Oklahoma. The teachers were told they could get a 6% raise. They wanted 10% and continued the walkout for another week. The legislators said that's all they were going to offer and moved on to other things. The media portrayed the teachers like they were being greedy and should just take the 6%. So they did. Guess who already repealed the funding for the 6%... Total bullshit. I don't know where AZ falls on the list of teacher salaries, but OK has one of the lowest. Starting salary for a teacher in my sister's school district is like $32k. Starting salary here in Houston and the surrounding areas is around $51k.
