Morning! Good luck camping slenle ! Hopefully by starting L out early he'll learn to roll with it  Yes, I saw that about Madeline McCann. Definitely sounds like he could be the guy, hope if so he will be brought to justice and her family can have some closure. Well, we finished B's last school assignment for the year, it definitely involved tears (B) and gnashing of teeth (yours truly). They have some 'fun activities' next week, I guess to hit the 180 school day count, but sheesh, I am so ready to be done. School goes back here Aug. 12, or thereabouts, and it's sounding like we will be back in actual buildings, praise Jesus, so it's kind of a short summer. Tonight we are going out to dinner at a casual seafood place on the water. Our restaurants are already at 50% here so I guess next phase will be 75? Bars can reopen to 50% capacity as of today. Ohio is talking about going back in July so if another wave hits we can take some time off. I just want him in a building. I font care when 😬 haha, right? B will be back even if it's an empty school parking lot to which I am dropping him off, lol. |

Hi vino ! I’ve been late catching up this week but I’m thrilled you are back! Hey! How's it going? Work and school for C going ok, when's his last day? That's great that you're able to widen the germ circle a little bit, a little socialization goes a long way for sure. Good. School is winding down. He just had his end of year math assessment this morning and has his reading one on Monday. Now that I actually see how their assessments go I realize they are crap so it makes me feel better that he wasn’t as behind as I originally thought in reading. He has school through June 18th. He started going to daycare on Wednesdays this week and he was so happy. He starts camp after school ends. I’m doing ok. It’s hard to get motivated with work when you don’t see people. Re germ circle- I never thought I would look forward to seeing my in laws but I do a little! We also have a great excuse to get out before dinner. |

Morning. It's a gorgeous day here but the weekend is supposed to be rainy so I'll try and kick the kids outside while I work and take a few breaks with them, then over lunch I've got to run to the vet to get Zoe her meds. I'm looking at a company to come and spray for mosquitoes so hopefully they call soon, it'd be so nice to have a bite free zone for the summer months. Our yard is a war zone. No matter what we do to spray, it doesn’t end. Super frustrating. |

Our restrictions sound a lot like yours, wedding. Phase two either just started or is about to start. It feels very odd to me to lump us in with the rest of the state. We are so close to New York that it would make more sense to follow their restrictions and they are just starting phase 1 I think this coming week. We have lots that we’d like to do but nothing we need to do, so super close to home this summer. |

I don’t think it would fly here (well I mean by bc I know a little more about their strength) |

Also, hi! Charlie had a little parade for school this morning. It was cute. We’re back home now. I’m trying to buff the kitchen floors but the kids won’t stay in one spot so I might have to quit.

Someone from IT showed up awhile ago to fix something. Now we don’t have internet and the phones aren’t working. Ha ha ha! He went to Best Buy to pick something up so I’m watching Netflix.

Because C was so grumpy this morning I really tried to give him a chunk of my time. I did and he was happy but within an hour after lunch he was back to being a grump and I had a lot to catch up on. I can’t wait until camp. I love him but I’m so exhausted doing this every day.

Also I have doubts that this guy is the abductor if Madeline. Trigger warning!!!
Trigger
He has a horrible background but his sex offenses were not with children. In the first section it said something he did at 17 that was hands off and it doesn’t state an age. It very well could have been a 16yo for all we know. These guys usually have a type that they stick to. If he’s into violently raping adult women, he isn’t going to get what he desires from a child. They rarely deviate from their patterns. I think this guy is horrible but I don’t see him breaking his pattern like this.
Plus the guy he showed the video too in the bar- I think he was just being a sicko braggart. Like “oh I know what happened to her” and then showing what he did to someone. I don’t think it was an admission of him doing it to her. It was just his perverse line of thinking that the child was being molested.
And one other note- this guy has a drug and alcohol problem. I don’t think someone who has those problems could have covered his tracks very well and he would have been caught ages ago.
I hope it is him so there are some answers, I just really don’t think it is.

I’m tired y’all. I will be useless the rest of the night. I hope MH is up to doing most of the parenting. I’m ready to retreat to a room and zone out to Netflix or something. It probably won’t happen though. :/

How does one diy buff floors? It’s a wax (feed and wax)product, you mop it in, then wipe the excess off after 20 minutes and then go over it with a soft cloth. |

I just saw my sil for the first time since everything came out. She doesn't even look like the same person.. I'm heart broken. I was frustrated and angry with my brother before but thought they would make it. But the look of defeat and just sadness on her. Idk. I'm afraid they won't make it..

I’m sorry A said to give it time before I assume the worst. It's only been a week. They've had 2 counseling sessions already so maybe with some time. My dad told my brother if they get divorced he's to give her the house so we can still see the kids grow up. |
