nam2013, what is Blue Monday? I've never heard of this? It is the most depressing day of the year, but apparently it’s a European thing... I’m sorry, I was not trying to make you girls (more) depressed! www.lexico.com/definition/blue_monday |

No school today for MLK day so we are going to my Sisters house. I haven't felt comfortable taking the risk of going to a salon and my hair is soooo long and gray. I finally ordered box dye and I'm going to have my sister cut it today. Say a little prayer for me because my sister is not a hair stylist lol

Anxiously awaiting the email once mh realizes the kid isn't home. She's here at the office with me, but I don't recall telling him she would be.
Coworker didn't have childcare, so I am here all day. She didn't ask me if I could come in, just took the day off, but I figured I should probably come in so there would be coverage. I wish she wouldn't just assume I can cover though.
Cadence set up her gs cookies in the conference room, but of course, no one is here today, so she probably won't sell much. Official selling doesn't start until Wednesday, but today was the only day she could come to the office, so 2 days isn't going to hurt anyone. Especially if she only sells 2 boxes. I just won't input them into the system or whatever until Wednesday.

mamabear how are you feeling? I forgot how far along you are. Do you want to find out if it’s a boy or a girl?

nam2013, that's interesting. I thought, before clicking the link, it might have something to do with the longest day of the year, but after googling that appears to be in June.

That’s solstice/midsummer. The kids jump over fire/hot coals & wear their flower crowns on that day  . Eta I sound like such a crunchy weirdo, swear I’m a normal person... |

Morning.
I’m home with the boys today. M2 has been coughing all morning. I want to stick him in his room with the nebulizer, but I caution against it now with Covid.
I had planned to do something outside with the boys, like a park or something, but we will see.
Hope everyone has a good start to the week!

Also, Target has a circle offer for 50% off shoes that ends today. I just got me and the boys one pair each and the total was under $50.

The difference between me and Cadence:
me:just set the cookies up in here and send out an email. If they want some, they'll come to me.
Cadence: who's here? I'll go talk to them about buying cookies.
Girl has no fear.

I'm off today, in honor of MLK. Evie is also out of school. I took her to PT this morning then dropped her at MILs. Came home and did the elliptical, getting ready to shower than I have a hair appointment.

Hi! No school today so we are on a little road trip...my parents, me and my kids, and my sister and her two packed into my dad’s Suburban and headed to a state park where the manatees come to spend the winter. It’s a little slice of old Florida—still woodsy and natural, and the springs are so clear you can see the bottom. There were 292 manatees there today So now we’re en route to a drive-in restaurant in the area for lunch before heading back. |

I'm working today but have had almost nothing to do. S is off but B has school so he's playing for a bit while I "work" (AKA catch up here), then I promised him he could watch Harry Potter 5 before we get B. He's been asking for months but B is definitely too young for it.

I "adopted" a manatee for my Soon to be sil a couple years ago and they went there(or a place like it, not sure exactly which one) and they were able to point out "her" manatee. It was so neat. |

Sierra’s teacher has Covid so now S is quarantined till next Sunday 😩. She’s supposed to get her infusion tomorrow, but now don’t know if she will. The nurse is asking for an exception to the policy because she’s had Covid just a month ago.

I've been cleaning and doing laundry. MJ has a new habit of waking up sometime between 2-5am and being happy for a bit and then crying for about an hour before finally going to sleep again. Today it was 3:45-6 am. Then up at 8:30. Its killing me. My mom came and got the boys and she's napping now. I should be pulling paperwork from 2020 to store so I can put in 2021 but I'm watching the Crown instead. 🤷♀️
