Hi girls!
Dude loved his horse lesson. No riding yesterday, just grooming and leading her. He’s working with a psychology intern and an equine mental health therapist. Seems like it’s going to be great for him.
I am about to head out for my walk, Tim is taking X to speech, then we’re getting ready for his very small birthday party this afternoon. We’re doing Toy Story, and I have the Pizza Planet truck coming. Pete’s dad built a huge projector screen, so we’re going to play the movie for the kids.

cagoldi It seems like Pete has really changed his attitude and I'm happy you all are able to co-parent so well. I really hope it continues!

WFH today. I got a ton done yesterday so I'm hoping to get done early and knit and nap this afternoon.
The girls have been begging me to Roblox with them so I finally relented last night. 🤪
I got some marshmallows so we can use the fire pit tonight.

Morning. I dropped the big girls off with MIL and now I’m at S’s preschool for the parent meeting. Mask are not required and I’d say only about 1/4 of the parents are wearing them. None of the staff are. Not surprised.

Cadence came to my bed before I even fell asleep last night. She didn't say a word, just got in bed (on my side) and fell asleep. So I woke up with horrible neck and shoulder pain from sleeping on the wrong side with the wrong pillows. She woke up while I was in the shower this morning and asked what the crap she was doing in my bed, as if I had put her there. Girl, you came in there all on your own. She doesn't recall any of it. She said the last thing she remembers is fighting with mh over cat litter in her bed (?) Welcome to sleep walking,although she's done it in the past, this is the first time she's realized it.
Then I had to go first thing this morning to pick up her ipad from the school and the entrance they said to use was in fact the beginning of the line, the end of the line wrapped around the block. Fun Fun. Finally got it then had to come to work. Joy.
I'm just very tired and looking forward to dropping Cadence off at my Mom's tomorrow so I can actually get some sleep.

Morning. Work this morning. It was clear for most of the day but it poored when I had to pick up the kids of course.
I’m a little annoyed at school. It is normal over here for parents to come in to school a few times a year and check the kids for lice. I do not think this should done in these weird times, this is something we can do perfectly ourselves. Apparently none of the other parents thought this... I mean I tell my kids to keep distance from my sister/aunt etc. but a random parents can come in and get up close?!
I know the parent who comes in check, and it’s one of those virus deniers who overtly won’t keep distance from anybody. Which is off course part of my annoyance... I gave ds a note to give to his teacher, stating that he was not allowed to be checked. Apparently I’m that parent during these times😔.
ETA rant over, sorry.

nam2013, wait. A random parent just comes in and says, "I want to check the kids for lice?" That's not ok. Our school nurse does this and it's a scheduled thing. Then they put a note in the backpacks if the kids have it. It's weird that a parent can just randomly come in and check like that.

Josie and I went to her school this morning to pick up her “to go” bag. It literally has everything in it down to two balls, a jump rope, a ballon, and jiggling scarves for PE. The secretaries have a large open area with plexiglass in front of the desk for parents and students to wait, and they also have a large piece of plexiglass between them. One secretary told me they had to put post it notes on it because they don’t remember it’s there and because it’s clear, they walk right into it.

The manager slammed into one with a full cup of water and it rained down on him like a waterfall 😂 they pulled the security footage and showed it at meetings 🤣

Hi! DH took C to school while I did B's online orientation with him this morning. After that we met some friends at the pool...they have kids in 1st and 3rd at our other neighborhood school so B enjoyed playing with them. Got C and we're now home and I need to start assembling lasagna for tonight before I lose all motivation

Who signs up to be a lice checker😬?! And yeah I would be doing the same thing. No need to expose my kid to another adult for something I can do at home.

I just got Cs teacher assignment and I’m so happy! There are two teachers and one is known to be very strict which wouldn’t work well with Cs personality. He needs someone firm but that can dig in a bit to what he is doing. My neighbors have had our teacher and really like her. Apparently our new teacher was doing a year end visit to one of my neighbors and saw C and I riding our bikes and asked if that was C. My neighbor said yes and she said, in a cheerful way, “that one’s got a lot of energy!” I’m glad she knows him and can be ready!
The Governor is announcing on Monday what model we will open with- in person, hybrid or full distance learning. Our numbers have gone down and our town has a 1% positivity rate so I hope it is in person. I don’t like that it isn’t a district decision since there’s a huge difference in numbers from us to the larger cities.

Hi.
So glad it’s Friday. I don’t have to be back at work until Wednesday. M was invited to play at his friends house this afternoon, so I got to home to a kid free house for two hours until I pick them both up. Still planning on Mexican takeout, so looking forward to that.
Hope everyone had a good Friday!

Hi!! WFH today. I was productive this morning and now not so much. L is at summer camp and E is napping. She has started to take pants and diaper off. She then says TaDa when she does. So that’s fun. Good thing was are potty training this weekend.
After work I’ll pick up L and we will be going to X’s party. Both kids are so excited [mention]cagoldi [/mention]

If anyone needs a laugh, the "Barbie wedding" posts in today's Confession thread on the General board are amazing. I had tears rolling down my cheeks at one point.
ETA: and the Tesla one... omg 😂😂😂😂😂

C is upset because we pushed movie night to tomorrow. We were set to go but then he wanted to play with our neighbor. They were having such a great time so I didn’t tell him to come in and he’s mad at me. I was also enjoying chatting with the mom. Of course he would also be mad if I did tell him to come in. It didn’t help that he got hit right in the nose with a basketball right before everyone had to go in. I’ll have to monitor that to make sure it’s not broke. It kind of more bounced up under so I think it will just be some bruising.
