My six year old hates writing. Throws epic fits over writing three sentences. Takes forever. Tears. Then he rushes through it and it's sloppy and needs to be redone. I hope we can figure out how to get him over it or it's going to be a loooonng year Sounds just like my 8 year old. His handwriting is horrendous. He also writes almost all of his numbers backwards. They kept telling me he would grow out of it. They were full of shit. He is being evaluated this week for OT and other learning problems, possibly dislexia. We fight every night over the 1 sentence he has to write for his reading log. I hope you can figure it out. I’m dyslexic and have (always had) terrible handwriting no matter how many lessons I had. I also used to write numbers and letters backwards. Writing homework sent me into crying fits too

We did the Terry Fox Run this morning. It’s a beauty day so I’ll get on top of the laundry and then hit the beach later this afternoon.

sweptaway would he want a pen pal? DS1 has one from my bmb and other than "writing" his own comics it's the only way to get him interested in writing. I'm sure DS would love another pen pal if you'd be interested in trying.

Its been a lazy day here. We went to a football game last night and didn't get home until 12:30. The dog woke me up at 5:45. The only thing I'll be doing is working on DS2's Halloween costume.

Laundry is done. Clean sheet night tonight.
Our downstairs is totally cleaned. Swept, vacuumed, cleaned the oven, counters, etc. decorating for fall and waiting to start my applesauce. Such a great Sunday so far!

I'm prepping my egg roll filling and contemplating a mimosa. Football soon. H is getting ready for a quick motorcycle ride since it's finally sunny and dry.

Trying to cut all bills here since dh is 99% sure he won't have a job as of Nov. Experimenting with fire stick for tv stuffs. Probably should get a Mcbenny instructional time about it. Lol.
Trying not to get into $ worries with my son who came home from univ this weekend to visit. It's a cloud over my head but He's already freaked about other things. Last sat he called me in full blown panic attack I had to talk him down from. Classes were stressful and he had disagreement with his girlfriend and then he just spiraled from there. I've never heard him talk so fast and he regularly talks a mile a minute.
Getting everything in place so we can help him pay for school stuff no matter what. Most is covered by scholarships so I'm just covering food and books and gas for his car.
Dh has no idea how to look for a job. He's made it thru a couple of corporate take over/sale of companies and hasn't had to search or interview in 25 years.

It is raining like mad today, we might go to the mall later but otherwise it’s a lazy indoor day +1 exactly! We were talking about what to do today and came up with either walking around/shopping at the mall, or just staying at home. It’s pouring here!

DD1 and I played outside for a while since the baby was napping. We did chalk, bubbles and she rode her scooter. It's nice having some one on one time with her.

I have DS' birthday party this afternoon at 3 and then a cocktail attire wedding at 6 so we're cutting it close AND I just realized that the more comfortable pair of my heels has a bad scuff mark so I should probably just go buy new ones. And a clutch. And I can't find my favorite lipstick and I haven't decided what dress I'm actually wearing and why is tomorrow monday.
Hi. Good morning.

We’re also discussing the space centre

AmyG that really hard. I'm sorry you guys are dealing with this. My dad had to start over after a medical leave. He hadn't looked for a job since I was little.

So our friend came over for football today and he brought his fucking girlfriend! I have posted about this before, but I hate having to be around people. I’m making a sandwich and then heading out to the backyard to swim and read. She better not fucking follow me. It is not my fault you don’t have friends.
She is nice but I am extremely selective with how I spend my time. It’s sunday. I have plans with myself.

My kids are watching Pinky and the Brain again. I’m so glad they are starting to grow out of the cartoons that make me want to stab my eardrums. We took a break from working on the porch but we really need to get it done so I can bag the carpet pieces and get them in the dumpster before the rain starts this evening. I told H it will be done before we go to bed tonight. Then I can work on cleaning the glue up this week on my own.

We are lazing about. Roads are starting to flood. itsmemeg and @karenwalker are y’all ok? I went to work today because our pastor is insane! But I earned my brownie points and am safely on my couch snuggling DD. Ugh, it’s been a crappy weekend (literally.) We have a stomach virus going through the house. I had it Friday, my 3 yr old started yesterday afternoon and my mom woke up with it this morning. The 7 month old is pooping constantly (but thankfully drinking constantly as well) so I’m assuming that’s how it’s showing up for her. So far H is the only one that’s been spared. He’s supposed to fly to NYC tonight. I keep waiting for his flight to be canceled, but flights have been taking off all day. I am shocked. We left a 10 inch bucket outside on the back deck on Friday and have already had to dump it. 😳 Luckily, the wind hasn’t been near as bad as I thought it would be so we still have power. I think if we can get through the next couple of hours we’ll be okay. Thank goodness for the paw patrol marathon on right now. 🙏 I can not believe you went to work today! Do you guys have school tomorrow? Our daycare just closed. Not that we’d be going anyways with the state we’re in.... I know! He was thinking the news was oversensationalizing it. H was NOT happy. They haven’t called school yet, but I’m sure they will. I hope all of your tummies are on the mend today.

All but 2 small squares of carpet are up. I’m taking acetone to those. I’m done. I give up. My hands hurt (combo of the hot water and the roughness when I was pulling), my back hurts, and I just really want a nap.

I don’t think it’s ever going to stop raining here. We got a few days break but it’s supposed to start again tonight. And if we get what they are forecasting we’re looking at a repeat of last week’s flood.

But I earned my brownie points and am safely on my couch snuggling DD. I haven’t ventured out but my road and neighborhood are fine. We do have a section of sidewalk that caved in the neighborhood though.

My mom is supposed to drive home to NC tomorrow. She's in NY. I just suggested she take a detour to Ohio and visit us for a while until things settle down in NC.
I'm awaiting her reply.

She found me out by the pool. I was freshly baked when she found me. I swear that she has been talking nonstop for the last 40 minutes. No joke, it’s tripping me out. Just rambling and rambling and she hasn’t seemed to notice that I have not said a word. Just nodding and smiley and the occaional yep uh huh.
I am going to KILL my H and his friend.

The mosquitos have been awful here too for the past month w/ the rain and humidity. I hate to think about the amount of DEET I’ve coated myself in this summer. Still better than being covered in bug bites for weeks, tho.
