Manic Monday

[chrisy01]

What’s happening ladies?

[chrisy01]

It’s the last week of the fiscal year at work. So it’s going to be crazy 😜. I am covering a walk for M1, which I’m not happy because he didn’t invite me to any of the meetings before so I’m going on blind.

For the other side of my job I am reviewing questions asked about a proposed job that is out for bid that vendors have. I need to help get them answered before tomorrow.

Other then that it’s all good in this hood

Morning.

I’m at work. It’s gonna be a slow day. I brought workout clothes so I can do that at some point before I leave. I forgot lunch was being catered this week. I cooked last night just for my lunches this week. Guess it’s dinner now.

[peachsmama]

This is the last week the boys go to the sitter. M cried this morning when I told him that's where hes going today 😔 my aunt and uncle are in town again so I'm sure we'll be doing dinner with them every night.

[wineallthetime]

Morning! I am hung over. Blah. Waiting for grocery delivery now and A has his 18mo appointment.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning. Back to the grind. I am going to run some errands while S is at preschool. Otherwise nothing else planned for the day.

[tgrimes]

I'm at work. SSDD.

Morning! Dh and I met 14 years ago at an alternative dance night. The ticket was for the 23rd, we met after midnight, so technically the 24th. Each year we question when our date-anniversary really is 😉. Since our trip to the us went extremely over budget (not in the least by all the baseball stuff that is currently littering our house) & I got that pretty ring, we decided not to do anything, which feels a little weird. So maybe we’ll let the tune melts wait until tomorrow and order in something nice .

Hi!
@peach, how did the sitter take the change?
Kids are at school, and I’m free for the next hour and a half, so I am going through some toys and making a donation pile!

Morning! I’ve been spiraling on funding sources to help pay for S’s communication device. Just found out that insurance will only pay $1200 and it costs $4000. So I’ve been calling multiple agencies in the area that allegedly help with that kind of thing for kids with developmental disabilities. We make too much money for some of the programs that are income dependent. But there are others that are based on the need of the child and not income. Hopefully someone has a soft heart for us. Lol.

I hope you can find something.

Morning!

We’re mostly hanging around the house today. B had speech this morning, now we’re waiting on the bus. I need to mail something but that will probably be it; C has come down with a cold so she’s kind of irritable.

[flamingo]

Fingers crossed you can find something to help defray costs lfig. I’ll ask my sister (SLP) if she’s aware of any resources that are not income-based.

[guster]

lfig, that isn’t something the school district would fund for S?

[nam2013]

lfig hope you find something! That is a lot of money 😟.

[lahdeedah]

lfig FX you are able to find something that will help with the cost. That is a lot of money.

At home with the girl. It's a teacher in-service day or some shit. She has made plans to go to the park and she has dance class later. Other than that we're not doing anything.

[lahdeedah]

I’m going through the AB thread again since I skipped over a lot of it last time. Doing my due diligence with a few info links so I can figure out I want to start with.

tgrimes Did you buy/try anything yet?

I feel like there are so many random days off. Our before/after care thankfully covers all half/full days except actual holidays.

Morning all! Busy weekend for me... Friday I left work early for the school's color run which S refused to participate in (he said there were too many people) but then he enjoyed the italian ice and dance party afterwards. After that I invited his BFF over so his mom didn't have to drag him to his sister's soccer practice. She wound up coming back to pick up and staying for dinner/drinks which is always fun and the kids all entertain each other nicely

Saturday was my birthday and I spent the morning at Soccer, then S decided he wanted to take me out for ice cream so while B napped he and I did errands and went out for ice cream which was cute. That night we had a sitter and went out with my friend and her H for dinner.

Sunday we went to a friend's football game, then our usual sunday ritual of open houses, then met up with a bunch of kids at the park.

And now back to work!

[tallb]

Mh got the kids out to school and he is now at Costco..we were super low on groceries. I've done the dishes and now lounging on the couch. My college gf is being induced today, so waiting for updates from her.

Our after care only covers the half days.  For full days off we have to sign up (and pay more) for "camp".  I didn't sign up early enough for all the fall holidays and one of them was full.  Fortunately my work is fairly lax and I'll be bringing S with me to work that day with a tablet and tons of snacks

That's great!  How long does your H have off of work?

Our aftercare doesn't cover any of it.  This Friday is early dismissal and luckily my MIL is going to pick her up.  We have a teacher inservice day Oct 9 and since we'll be on vacation my in laws will already be keeping the kids that day.

Ours does this for most of them, but she would have had to go to a different location today and I wasn't comfortable with that.

tgrimes Did you buy/try anything yet?

Yes!  I started with the KOSE SOFTYMO Speedy Cleansing Oil and the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser.  Just using these twice a day made my skin softer.  The [MIZON] Black All in One Snail Repair Cream I'm using as eye cream during the day and put it everywhere at night.  I really like it.  So far I've only tried this mask once and it was okay.  I'd like to try it a few more times though.  I've been using the COSRX Oil Free Ultra Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap for my daytime moisturizer.  It's very light and smells great.  

I did get the Biore UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen on Friday.  I used it yesterday when I took the kids to the park.  It's much nicer than normal sunscreen.  It has a great scent and isn't greasy.

The cruise has been booked and we got the drink package.



Now I need to look at excursions.

Happy belated Birthday jewels! Sounds like you had a great day.

Good stuff. I have both cleansers and the Mizon on my list. I’m about to start listening to a few of the podcasts mentioned since I’m basically done at work and it’s only 11am.

Happy Belated Birthday! jewels Sounds like you had a good birthday weekend.
