Another mistrial for Tensing. I am so glad my dad is out of town right now. He knows his parents, he grew up down the street and my dad thinks he's innocent. I do not.

Oh I forgot the house also has a "mystery" gas line, so odd. There's an extra gas line leading from the utility room to...nowhere? There's no outputs outside the home and no additional gas appliances anywhere. It also has an old paper note attached to it that says "do not touch, gas test in progress."
The homeowners say they have no idea what it is or where it goes. We're going to ask them to pay for an additional specialized inspection to figure that out.

Like when we had natural gas ran to our house we were using it for the stove and heat ASAP. But the plumber put a valve above the laundry room for a future gas dryer and the water heater for a future gas water heater.

Update on the situation with my Mom. She came last weekend, not for as long as she normally does, and after the kids went to bed she apologized to me. Let me repeat that, she apologized to me. This has never happened in my entire life. I apologized as well and we both agreed that this is tough, she wants to be fun Grandma and I'm trying to do it all; fun Mom, provider, disciplinarian etc.
She is also missing going to her summer lot, so we agreed on a new schedule. She'll come Tuesday's for JC weigh in day and help with the evening, then come back Saturday morning, stay until the kids are in bed Sunday then go home. So in total it will be help with 3 evenings and she'll just be sleeping over one night.
It also was an eye opener to me and have reached out to some friends, including some good conversations with my BFF in Vancouver. So although I'm not getting out, because I can't right now, I'm making an effort in other ways. So that's the silver lining I guess.

If my mother ever apologized to me, I'd probably die of a heart attack.

Hope that new schedule improves things, @vinolove. Sounds like the apology and discussion that followed are encouraging.

Less time together is what we all need and i'm glad we were able to talk, it's never happened. I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't skeptical but I'm trying to move forward.

xolastunicornxo I feel responsible for your ms. I hope it passes quickly. I finally feel better this week. Lol, I forgot you were the one who got me into this by jinxing me! 😉 I know it'll pass and I keep trying to remind myself of that, but when you're staring in the toilet for the third time in a day it can get a little discouraging. It's like the worse, nauseous hangover... but without the fun of drinking the night before!

I just got back from the house. I scrubbed the walls, taped, took down blinds, and painted the trim in ONE room and I'm exhausted. I'm going to make the boys nap so I can collapse in bed and also nap and we will go back later.

My shoes for tomorrow showed up just in time, I'm officially ready for the wedding. On the other hand, it's been raining on and off so we may have to back out of our plans to go to the carnival. Col will be so sad.

Bummer joelies. I hope he can still go. The girls have these because living in WA we just wouldn't go anywhere if we had to avoid the rain. They've been to many carnivals in them. WA rain usually isn't bad though, more of a drizzle. They're called Tuffo Muddy Buddy and are on Amazon. They run big and you can get use out of them for several years.

The kids don't really care much about the rain, we actually went to a carnival in a drizzle last summer. But there's a possibility of thunderstorms, which makes strapping my kid onto a metal ride seem... not ideal. It looks like the worst of it may now be holding off for a few hours though.

Cher did you find out if it was ok to do with your issue? I told her and she was not bothered at all. She said it was fine and she sees it on lots of pregnant ladies. So awkward. Lol.

Busy afternoon -- so many tacos, and one and half superstrong margaritas that that made me ask mh to drive home. Now we're in the couch with Starbucks bc we have big plans to start emptying the basement for a summer purge.

Are you making the room into something else?

I sometimes drink chardonnay. It depends on the brand. Jordan Chardonnay is amazing. Pricey, but amazing. So is Blindfold's by The Prisoner.
