Well, it was spitting snow when I woke up but it looks to be the end of it. Thank God! I'm dragging today. Why do we have conferences on a Monday? Then we are exhausted the rest of the week. Tonight N starts his first T-Ball practice. My H is going to the office so that means I have to bring N and E, then run home for dinner, and then get both boys into bed. Great. This week it's today and Thursday but starting next week it's 3 days a week. Ugh. I'm really glad your sister is getting better thatgolfb, because the real travesty in this thread is THREE T-BALL PRACTICES A WEEK! My gosh.

A had one tee ball practice her week and that's quite enough. And I don't even go, LOL.

Tuesday and Thursdays are practices and Wednesdays are games. Normally, my H would be going but he's not home until 7 tonight so that means I have to go.

Ds1 is doing 3 sports this summer- tennis, t-ball, and soccer. Each one is twice a week. But they’re during the day on mon-thurs so we don’t have to worry about it at all. My parents and ILs will take him and are happy to do it since it’ll keep him busy when he’s not in school. I am kind of sad to miss watching him play though.

Tonight after we got home from daycare, I asked N for a kiss and he gave me one! First time. Heart exploded. 😍

I survived N's first T-ball. It looks like it's really only going to be two nights a week but it will be tricky because I think my H is doing his golf league and so that means I will have to bring N to practice. Plus, it's not long after I get back home so it's a very rushed evening. E had to go with us and he was all over the place. I'm thinking I'm going to lose weight this summer just for the fact I am going to running after him constantly. Bot boys didn't get to bed until 8 which is late for them. But neither would fall asleep when we got back.

Ds2 is just over 25 lbs and 33.25 in long. He was a grumpy mess his whole appointment and ds1 didn't help. 🤦 I will try harder to find childcare in the future lol. Like we survived but it would have been really difficult if I actually had any concerns about ds2 because ds1 would not shut up. Gr.

We're stuck in a perpetual cycle of rain and gloom... I need some sunshine in my life! H and I were talking about planning a kid free vacation for later this year and I said my only requirement is warm and sunny lol.
Ds2 started giving hugs and open mouth kisses the last week or so and I agree with everyone, it is the BEST (maybe not the open mouth part but still).
Just a PSA teacher appreciation week is next week May 5-11. I'm thinking of bringing bagels in for daycare and mini spa kits with bath bombs, face mask, nail polish etc. I normally completely forget and do something last minute so I thought I'd put this out there so people can share ideas.

jules1614 Ds1’s pre-k sent home a flyer for teacher appreciation week. They’re doing/asking for something different each day. On Monday they’re asking for each child to bring in a single-stem flower for their teacher. Good luck having that survive the bus ride but we will try! Another day they are asking for a homemade card- easy enough. Then they’re doing a luncheon and asking for monetary donations so I’ll definitely contribute to that. I like your ideas!

Today is Ds1’s 5th birthday! I’m a bit crabby though because I made plans to meet him and my parents out for lunch but I forgot about a work meeting and my boss won’t let me skip it. Totally my fault and ds1 didn’t know about it so at least he’s not disappointed. We will celebrate with dinner of his choice and a cupcake tonight, plus DH and I hung up some streamers and blew up some balloons so he was pretty excited about that. His party is this weekend and I’m hoping the weather is nice!

Our DC has like a regimented week next week. Potluck breakfast one day, potluck lunch another, "pampering" gifts another day... I mean I appreciate them very very much, but it's going to be hard to keep up with stuff. Last year for the pampering gifts I did a nail file, small polish, and a lotion. I may do it again but I'll see what else I can find. Maybe some small bath bombs? As much as I want to bake for the pot lucks, I was generic enough on the sign up to do store-bought if I have to.

As a teacher, I think the specific gifts on certain days is dumb. Granted, I have no experience with it and have only heard people talk about it online, but it seems like unnecessary pressure. My school just asks for dessert donations one day that week.

Lol, right up there with three day a week t-ball (I know it's only twice now ) I didn't know this was a thing, but maybe I'll bring something to the daycare teachers.

My school just asks for dessert donations one day that week. We don't even get that. Pretty much teacher appreciation week is just a regular week for us. It would be nice to be acknowledged for all that we do though. It doesn't have to be a big deal or during a special week.

Just catching up quick. H is at the marina all morning cause the lake levels are rising substantially again this spring and the flooding is going to ruin his dock if he doesn't do something. The main concern is his boat going over his dock.
Ds1 has an orthodontist appt this morning and I have to take the babies with me. Should be... interesting 😬

I was actually thinking of booking myself a spa day on the next Monday I’m off. I may do that.
