Yeah, I've heard of this with charter schools but at the preschool/daycare level I find that a bit much. At least with preschool they are only requiring 50 hours. If he stays there for kindergarten and above it's 120 hours Holy shit that's a lot! When you first mentioned it I didn't think much of it because our preschool also requires service hours, but only 6 for the entire year and doing things like working a booth at the school carnival for an hour or joining your kid on a field trip counts, so stuff you'd do anyway.

The good news is if C and I do the same event for 4 hours each it counts as 8. If I bring other adult family or friends their hours will count towards our hours as well.

Tgif! Gorgeous day here but there's a rabid racoon lose in the area, so going to stay inside today.. 5 people were bit yesterday, well I guess one had a flip flop stolen by it! Drama! Explain to me how a raccoon steals your flip flop. All I'm imagining are the raccoons in The Great Outdoors. I love that movie. Watched it so many times as a kid. Years ago in the summer I left our garage door open about a foot at night so my cats could come and go. I was getting ready for work and it was still pretty dark out. I went to let the cats in and saw glowing eyes staring at me. I turned on the lights and a pair of raccoons were in the garage and dragging a 30 lb tub of cat food trying to take it with them. They stopped dead in their tracks like "oh shit we're caught." My cats were wigged out and slinked all the way around the garage and ran in the house. I told the raccoons "that food is not for you." They eventually took off.

My morning started off good. I was in a great mood, but now I'm trying not to seep into a funk. I can't wait for my lunch break.
We have teeball tonight, and my friend is coming over after to help out with the boys. She came over Wednesday and I got so much done while she was there, so I'm hoping I can do the same tonight.
Anyone watch Grey's last night? I am not looking forward to watching it. I'll probably be crying for most of it based on the preview. I may save it for when I'm home alone.

I took yesterday off to go to Cass' preschool Mother's Day performance. So cute. I got so much done yesterday--cleaned the shower, did a ton of yardwork. Felt good. Plus I got a semi-nap (not fully asleep but good rest).
We're going to my parents tonight since soccer was cancelled tomorrow. It's going to be warm which is nice. I'm debating on doing a 5k down there tomorrow morning or sleeping in. Decisions, decisions.

I haven't read yet. Today is Our Family Day for my Mother's Day. Because Sunday we're spending with my grandma and mom and Alex's mom. We went to a pottery place and painted and now we're going to go get lunch. The boys did surprisingly well with everything. Even when it took Alex forever to paint LOL. We're in the car while he finishes because they were starting to mess with stuff. He kept saying "just 2 more minutes" for like 15 minutes..

tgrimes , any chance you can get to he ticket line first thing? Maybe lessen the amount of time youd have to wait? I feel bad that you’re going to miss this chance! Everytime I've done this I wait at least an hour. Get there an hour early to be first in line or get there 30 min early to wait an hour. KWIM? The outdoor theater is located in a park so I'm sure M would take off at any given moment. No thank you to doing that with 2 kids.

My 4yo has done this to me many times, but for some reason, my battery never dies the day he does it. It's always a random day when I'm least expecting it. I think it causes the battery to have weak cells and eventually it catches up to me.

Parents magazine just posted on FB the top baby names of 2018. Em.ma is #1 for girls so far this year. I need to make sure C doesn't see that because he will be annoyed. It's the main reason he didn't want that name because it's a top name every year.

Our IT guys were setting up an office for a temp employee we’re going to have next week. There was no phone in the office so one of them went to grab a spare phone from another hot desk office. After he hooked it up, he noticed the stream of ants coming out of the phone. It appears an entire ant colony was somehow living in the phone! I have so many questions. Why? How? What were they using for food?? 🐜

It's the main reason he didn't want that name because it's a top name every year. My name is/was top 5-10 for basically ever. It's fine. N is very popular in this area, but haven't met an Emma though. J's class has two Ella, Fiona's and Nora's...

It was on my list for a long time, to bad it’s my SIL (the one that eats crackers for me) is named like that. Your E will be sooooo much cuter!

Yes, you probably want to be alone. It’s very emotional. ETA: I follow the actress that plays April (Sarah Drew) on IG and she posted the sweetest thing about Jesse Williams.

Except replace phone with coffee maker a few weeks ago. I thought I combatted them and won...but last night in my LIVING ROOM they were all over the end table! So I got out the spray and went crazy. Then I called Orkin this morning and they are coming out tomorrow! ETA: I promise my house is clean! I don’t understand!!! 😩
