M has strep. I really hope she doesn’t pass it along to H.

How was your first night home elle? We actually got to sleep in a little yesterday thanks to my sister still being here and watching A. Sorely needed for both of us. Baby has started cluster feeding now so I was up with her every hour last night but we've made it through so I'm hopeful it'll get easier from here on out. M is a surprisingly chill newborn, as long as she's warm and tightly swaddled and listening to her Ewan the sheep, she falls right back asleep after I feed her and put her back down in the bassinet. I'm hoping this is her and not just a fresh baby fluke, lol.

I’m sorry tgrimes! I didn’t plan dinner tonight! Went to the church’s chili cook-off! I did bring queso and chips to go with the chili but it was good! Thank goodness L likes chili. Surprisingly, his favorite was the vegetarian chili lol. It wasn’t my favorite but it was Now I have a few minutes before bath-time and he’s watching his 2-3 episodes of Shaun the Sheep! He also begs for Wallis and Gromit!?!

Y’all, so my neighbor asked to carpool once L is adjusted to school. After the shooting in Cali, she posted an apology for thinking we were safe in our bubble, and copied a post from her friend whose child was at the school and it sounds to me that she doesn’t carry but she intends to start? 🤯 Her spouse is the highest ranked enlisted person on the east coast in charge of all of New England so I believe he carries. We’ve never been places with them, but I’m not comfortable especially with them dropping off or picking up L.
How do I navigate this? DH isn’t reading it the same. Would you like a copy/paste?
Edit words. Also, in NH you don’t need a special license to carry or conceal carry.

Cheshie6 what if you just say thanks for the offer but we really like that time in the car together to prepare him for his day/decompress after (ham it up a bit, however you want to word it all), so aren't looking for a carpool situation at this time. Follow up with an offer to give her LO a ride if she's stuck any day (if you feel comfortable doing that).

Cheshie6 just curious what about that bothers you? Are you worried she or he would improperly store the gun and L could get to it?

How many reports have you seen that kids found the gun in the car and it accidentally goes off! Also, she could become a target because she is carrying. I just picture a tv style police shootout with my child in the car. As well as if the police don’t know she’s not the perp she becomes a target to them too.

Surgery day for K to get the internal distractors out. They actually ended up getting her back there on time this time. I hate that I'm getting so used to all this. They said the plan is to take her to the PICU after for recovery which I'm happy about. I like knowing that she'll be monitored closely. Hopefully they let us stay there for a few days instead of sending us back to the general floor again.

Welp, so much for that nasal lavage they did during surgery on Tuesday. Saturday morning H woke up with disgustingly thick yellow/green snot. Great!
It backed up into his eyes so I started the pink eye drops to get rid of any infection. WTF UNIVERSE?
At least M is feeling better. I just hope H doesn't catch strep throat from her.

Poor H. Get a sample and mail it to the immunologist's home address. Do this every time with a note asking if it's normal.

I'm meeting my MIL at sushi after work and then going to see Dear Evan Hansen. I'm really looking forward to it.

My house is officially listed for sale!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Yay that's so exciting! How is the search going for a new place? There was one we wanted to put an offer in on, but were too late. DH and I both found listings online we'd like to view. I ccan already tell he's going to drive me bonkers though. The one I found looks really good. Not too fancy, but that's stuff you can change as time goes on. It's a great size plus has a HUGE storage area in the basement. DH "doesn't like the doors" and thinks the kitchen looks small (it's the same size as our current kitchen, just laid out differently. The one he wants to look at is in a completely different community than we wanted. It's 400 square feet SMALLER than our current house!!!! The kitchen is literally smaller also, but they have pretty new cupboards and fancyy appliances. Now the back yard is landscaped beautifully and it has an amazing patio. But also a built in swimming pool in the patio (built down so no barrier or anythiny around the pool). I am absolutely not interested in the maintenance of a pool like that. AND I wouldn't be able to let the kids play in the backyard solo because it would be too dangerous, so we'd need to pay big bucks to get the pool removed and the patio essentially rebuilt. But apparently we can work around ALLL THAT because the details are so pretty. Someone come knock some sense into him for me.

Haha danib. Don't you guys only have like a month of summer up there? Pools are a big nope for me. It's barely worth the effort required around here. Hopefully you can find something you both love and your H won't drive you too crazy.

And it is a fancy one with like a heat pump and stuff, so on top of the chemical maintenance there's the mechanical stuff to worry about. And the biggest kicker being that it's built into the patio so that the surface is level with the patio. So no stairs or railing or anything. Kids could just walk right into it.

OMG y'all. I just got a bill from the auction we went to Friday night. I had planned on it being around $100. It was $455. Apparently MH put us on the silent auction list for a membership to the Jewish Community Center.
I...am not happy.

Not unless you pay additional $ for classes. You just get a discount on the fee. I explained all of this to him when he brought it up and said it was a waste of money and not to bid on it. Obviously, he did it anyway. Now he's trying to tell me it's false advertisement. I freakin told him it was a waste of money.
