Just a normal work from home day. After nap the kids will get to play with the water table. I’m trying to figure out dinner for tonight.

Morning.
We’re in a Zoom meeting for B’s class right now; the teacher is asking the kids for questions/comments. B is a kid after my own heart—he doesn’t have questions because he wants it to end, lol.
Weather looks bleak today; we may have a plumber coming bc the shower in our master bath is draining super slow.

Just finished up some work with Josie and Charlie.
Getting an Instacart order this morning.
I took chicken thighs out. I might try to do a fried chicken.

I have an icloud question. I've been paying $1/month for extra storage. I received an emailing saying it's almost full and I need to pay $3/month. Is anyone else having to pay this every month? Do I suck it up and pay it? how do I delete stuff from the cloud?

So if I delete things I won't need to pay for the extra storage? |

Hi ladies.
From my other job they asked for assistance this week. 3/5 of us have done extra help lately. The other 2 quickly responded back that they already have plans this weekend. I was eye rolling so hard. It's a pandemic. Everything's closed. No one got plans. 😒

I'm focusing on the small blessings. I thought my continuing ed classes were due this June and because of Rona 2 f2f courses I had scheduled were canceled so I thought I'd have to do a ton online. Not due to next year so I can go at a leisurely pace.

Do I suck it up and pay it? how do I delete stuff from the cloud? I pay $10 a month for storage. I have a lot of pictures and videos I want to have a back up for. If you delete from either your phone or your cloud it is forever lost (unless of course you have a copy saved somewhere else). |

Probably b/c I have photos on my phone/cloud from 2012 :facepalm: You can go into the cloud at icloud.com and delete stuff there. eta: I see Chrisy has already helped! |

That sounds delicious. My thighs are boneless skinless bc I can’t deal with bone in. BUT I do have everything but the bok choy. I’m sure I can replace it with spinach or broccoli. |

MH and I use it for all our shared pics and albums of the kids so it's worth it to me. |

tgrimes I use google photos for pics. It’s free and just an app that downloads to your phone. Whenever you are connected to WiFi, it automatically downloads any new videos/pics. That may help with the storage issue. I have never paid for cloud storage. Mine actually says it’s full now, but I haven’t checked to see what I can delete or manage it.

Morning.
We just got our fridge this AM. Once they never called by 5pm, I called back and got the paperwork out and the delivery date on the invoice was Wednesday, but where they wrote MH’s number in the notes, it had today’s date, and the delivery people had it as Thursday. I wasn’t happy and he made sure we would get it first thing in the morning. So glad it’s behind me now.
Not sure what’s on the agenda today. I was planning a Costco run, but because of everything, I have to wait until we have a cold fridge.

The other day when people were talking about Target, it's Costco that I think someday when this is all over with, I'll rush in and dance around like Maria on the hillsides of The Sound of Music. I miss me some Costco.
TFFC: Even though you are allowed as many samples as you want, MH and I have a code in Costco. We say "I think you'll like this," to each other if we know it's something one of us would normally pass on but want them to get an extra so the asker can get a double sample.

I so want a recreational trip to Costco. We don't need to go yet, but we probably will need to soon. My neighbors got instacart same day with them, but I can't find an open spot for weeks😣. I don't want to pay the extra, but I think we would if we could get a spot. |

Hi friends. Today has been a day. My children are grating on my last nerve, S specifically. She won’t stop whining and crying about everything. H doesn’t want to do her schoolwork. We had to run to the bank so on the way home I stopped and got an iced coffee at Panera, so I took that out to the garage, opened the door and drank it in silence. It was a much needed break. I spent a lot of the morning dealing with stuff for the van, and it looks like we will go check it out and probably purchase it on Saturday. The dealerships all closing at 6 is really harshing my vibe.
The weather is super nice right now but we are supposed to get a thunderstorm later this afternoon. Of course it is because I got a car wash yesterday. When we were playing outside yesterday H thought she was going to be helpful by washing my car...with just water and a rag. All she did was smear the dirt around so I had to wash it, it looked real bad.

Hope your afternoon turns around trtlcrzy, or that you can get a break at some point! B has been...not really complaining about school work, but trying to bargain. Like if I ask him to write 2 or 3 sentences, he tries to weasel it down to 1 or 2. (In the time we sit here arguing about it you could’ve written a paragraph so not really sure what to tell ya, kid.) |

Writing assignments are the worst. She has one that all she needs to do is write 2 sentences about what she saw outside. I gave her 10 ideas and still wouldn’t do it. I really don’t have the patience to try and get her to do stuff today. DH will have to do school after dinner tonight. |
