Paging jedi what can you tell me about Twin Cities Marathon? Registration opens this week and I'm contemplating it. I haven’t ran it. I’ve been registered twice and had to back out both times. I’ve heard great things about it and hope to run it. October is weird though. Never know what temps you might have

I’m doing ok here.
S1 turns 7 tomorrow. 😭😭😭😭
We get the results of E’s special Ed eval this week. Since my last update we found that he has one leg slightly longer than the other and his spine is slightly curved. Nothing of concern at this point but something we will monitor. But these two things can happen with his Neurofibromatosis. He’ll also probably be on glasses within the year.
Over winter. More snow likely coming this weekend.

Sorry to all of you ladies stuck in winter. I can’t complain, it’s slightly colder than usual here and we’re getting a lot of rain, but that’s about it. It does cause some problems because of all the burn areas (mud slides, rock slides), but mostly it’s just turning all the black charred hillsides into a beautiful green. We need the rain desperately.

Anyone else shaken by Luke Perry dying? Aside from the fact that I spent my pre teen and teen years being absolutely in love with him, he was pretty damn young. It’s just sad and scary.

Confession time. I’m kinda embarrassed.
After reading a bit about technology and it’s impact on kids in regards to brain development I decided to start monitoring my screen time. You know, if I’m on my phone a lot I’m not setting the best example to my kids. My iPhone has the screen time thingy. When I looked at this I was spending about 6 hours a day on my phone with the 7 day total for Facebook alone being 24 hours. AN ENTIRE DAY ON FACEBOOK IN A SEVEN DAY PERIOD !
Anyway, I’m working on it. It’s been 3 days and I’m surprised at house easy it’s been.

I’ve been monitoring mine too- I had an average of 7 hours a day at one point- I was down to 3 hours a day at one point, but I’m using my phone for the eBay store and Amazon right now, so I’m averaging about 6 1/2 hours a day... (still bad because only about an hour or 2 a Day is on eBay).

jedi, I bought an Apple Watch so I wouldn't have my phone in front of me so much. I think it helps? Some days are better than others. Its nothing to be embarrassed about. Just try to cut back.

I deleted the facebook app, so when I want to go on, I just on the internet and punch it in. That alone has completely cut down my usage.
Instagram is another story.... I don't even want to see where I'm at with that.

My new position has really cut my screen time down. Most days I work through lunch. At home M tells me "no phone" so I'm really only on it a little in the morning and after he goes to bed. It's actually pretty nice.

Ive considered deleting the FB app too. I have considered getting rid of it completely but there are many groups and businesses that I follow and I think I would miss out that way.

I'm mostly there because my IF group moved there. But there are some pages I enjoy, such as a few dyspraxia ones and now to get field updates for soccer. But it's so rare I post there. IG is where all my pictures end up.

I'm on vacation next week and my brain has checked out as of today. I gave my team their reviews, so I'm hoping to have minimal work come in tomorrow and Friday.

Currently visiting FIL in Florida. We are having lots of fun at the beach. DD1 lost her second top front tooth at dinner tonight, so it looks like the Tooth Fairy is going to have to make a visit. I had a feeling this was going to happen while we were away, and reassured Ava last week that the tooth fairy makes visits to Florida too!
