Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day!
We used out kitchen for the first time Sunday. DH cooked eggs benedict with mimosas. It was yummy.
We still have a lot to get moved over there, but it's nice to have it functioning.

Happy belated Mother's Day all! It's a rainy day here. Really hoping they cancel soccer practice today. Really over this wet season we've been having. Of all days, practice & games are always on days it's raining. So annoying.

We really do. & what's annoying is when we go, we hear people say "now this is soccer" as the adults are under umbrellas. Like wut. Our kids are on average 6 years old. My kid is the only one that wears glasses too. Playing in the rain may be all hardcore & nonchalant for the older kids but for the little ones is unnecessary. That's my opinion.

I will have to travel to our corporate office for some training and sometimes on other occasions but that's not a big deal. I have to do it sometimes now too.

DS had a dentist appointment after school. He loves those which is wild because he hates brushing his teeth. Anywho.. soccer practice got cancelled so I'm happy. Apparently someone is 'confused' why because we play in the rain & other teams are practicing so I guess we're not the only ones feeling some tension but the coach said there was puddles everywhere & thought it wouldn't be an effective practice. I really don't care anymore. Wasn't in the mood tonight.

After two weeks holiday, DD is back to school. She’s been asking about ballet lessons so looking into those, think she will look adorable. Also the last week of MIL visiting, she’s been great at keeping DD entertained but it will be nice to have my house back.

I know! I wish is were Friday! The good news is that I still have several days to get my house cleaned up before we have people over this weekend. With the kitchen project we've kind of let other things go, so there is just stuff everywhere.

A woke up in the middle of the night with a wicked sore throat and congested head. I ended up sleeping on the couch so I could be upright. My throat is still hurting quite badly and I have to host a call in a little over an hour. It's really going to suck b/c it hurts to talk. I would reschedule but I'd be pushing it out weeks to get everyone available at the same time again and that is just too far away.
I have cough drops and chloraseptic spray. Anyone have other suggestions for things that help a sore throat?

DH brought home some boxes yesterday so I spent a part of my day packing some of DS' toy baskets in his playroom. It's amazing how one child can create such a mess. He'll be looking for something & just dump them so the plan for listing the house is getting a storage unit & moving some stuff out so he doesn't have access to every single thing so it's easier to keep the house clean on a regular basis. Also I want to do some staging this time around so we'll have to get rid of stuff/de-clutter & have to put it somewhere. Can't just load up the garage. We need to show how big it is so storage unit is the answer.

I’m hanging out in my car while my son is at dance. I got a new phone on Monday and it’s so nice to be able to use it without having to worry about the battery dying!
My son had early dismissal yesterday so we to the children’s museum for feeding time. He was the only kid there for most of it so he got to go in the back to help feed all the animals. That’s always a nice treat for him!
Slightly blurry AW (I was too slow getting my phone out!) PDQ
*poof*

We're having some issues with some kids at DS' school & of course we've had it & there's only two weeks left. The thing also with DS is he is so defenseless. He'll go & sit at their table at lunch like wtf? Yesterday he came home with multiples "x"'s on his arm. He said he didn't realize a kid was doing it to him at the afterschool program because he was drawing. Like how? Another kid made a marking on his shirt with marker during class. Like it's always him. I just don't get it. So over it.

Wow NamasteBirches - I'd be super pissed. Sounds like your DS goes to school with some little jerks. Does he know the kids names so you can report them?

Ugh...another rough night last night. I went to be early and fell asleep rather quickly, but woke up at 1:00 and it took me an hour to fall back asleep. I went and slept on the couch again to be upright and not keep DH up too. I am so freaking exhausted. This cold needs to GTFO. I've been drinking tons of OJ and taking vitamin c supplements, in hopes that I can get rid of this thing by the weekend. We are hosting a party and I don't want to be sick for it.

DH had enough last week & actually spoke to the principal about other incidents that occurred with DS being called a baby multiple times from one specific kid. We both thought it was best for it to come from him vs me since I have this weird presence at the school being a sub & parent & when I'm pissed I don't really know how to talk without getting incredibly mad. DH is more put together. Lol The administration is weak at his school (& this whole district for that matter) & his teacher is too focused on becoming a principal so there's a lot that has gone by unnoticed this year. It's been a year. I've never looked forward to summer so much than this year so that's saying a lot.
