We finally fed the ducks yesterday...or at least attempted to. They were dicks and wouldn't let us within 30 yards of them. So I'm giving the rest of the alfalfa to my house plants thanks to trtlcrzy's suggestion. We actually had a lot of fun yesterday for our girls day, watched movies, made pancakes (including tiny ones for the rats), took them to McDonald's and went through a car wash, went to a different park, and then had dinner with a friend in our circle. Today I told them I'd let them each take a rat to Petco to get some rat treats and toys.

I rage vacuumed my car and feel fine.. so I'm saying I'm good and sending A to work tomorrow. He let MJ have a biscuit and juice box in her car seat. The car and carseat that I just scrubbed top to bottom 2 weeks ago.... now my seats and her carseat is stained and needs washed. Again. I'm doing laundry while he's here though. Not tugging on clothes from washer to dryer and then to baskets. He can do it. I'll just fold and put away.

Hi.
Work was easy this morning. I hit up Walmart after for a few things and now just home for the rest of the day. It’s wet and rainy today. I did nothing yesterday, so I need to be productive today. My sinus drainage that I just got rid of a week ago is back. M2 has been snotty all week, so I probably got it from him.
Off to do laundry and purge some spaces.

I think some people have family in the villages in fl - joelies or lahdeedah maybe? Any luck on getting appointments for family? My grandma, aunt and uncle still haven't last I heard. 93 and mid-70s. I'm hoping this johnson and johnson one gets approved soon, one dose will be a huge win if it's as effective.

Hi hi - I am enjoying my new Sunday morning habit of taking k to the basement and watching Sunday morning on CBS in peace. I used to watch it weekly but once j got old enough to ask questions it wasn't as fun/less enjoyable explaining the news segments to him. We also forced ourselves on a walk even though it is 30 degrees. I just had some Costco soup for lunch...I made the whole container, which mh later read was supposed to be 6 servings 😂
I replaced toilet seats with ones that have built in kids seats...why I didnt do this years ago is beyond me.

My Dad was told a couple months ago that he's first priority being a lung cancer patient, but nothing yet. I would imagine it'll be a cluster since they are ALL older there.

joelies tallb *some* Publix grocery store pharmacies are now administering the vaccine, with the plan for them all to have it eventually as supply increases. IDK if your family members have tried that tact yet but just another thought. 3 stores here in our county have it. People were coming from out of state to get the vax here which...kind of annoying considering our large senior population. So I think some counties, if not all, now require you to be a FL resident, esp. tourist areas or ones up near the border.

Love that line up nam2013, too cute. Glad your grandparents got the vaccine lahdeedah. Ugh to having to clean the car seat AGAIN peachsmama. tallb Those seats were life savers here as well, easy to install, no extra storage, easy to clean. They’re perfect.

Happy Sunday afternoon all.
Cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, week food prep, snow shoveling and lunch done. Now we’re all on our devices just taking a moment. B has found this Minecraft education, cause I wont get the regular app for him, and my gawd if I have to hear about building a portal one more time I’m gonna explode.
We never head out as a family to stores but we might make an exception and go check out the camping aisles, JUST FOR SOMETHING TO DO. It’s fine. I’m fine.

The weather is crap today and thus my allergies are shit. My face feels like it's going to explode and the headache is making me sick to my stomach.
Cadence has built a fort that she has since abandoned, but not taken apart in the middle of the living room. She made a sand art necklace that then broke and spilled sand everywhere.

My ILs are calling to FaceTime the kids in an hour. Yay.
I mean, I'm grateful I managed to avoid the holiday visit (long story) but I basically hate FaceTiming anyone--yes, DH included, lol--so sitting there prompting my distracted children to talk, etc. is fresh hell.

It makes me so happy to see how joyful they are playing with them. Some of the best belly laughs and squeals of joy I've heard in a long time. One of them is really attached to MH and purrs every time she is with him. Things are so boring that this was the perfect time to shake things up a bit. Even if it means cleaning rat poop.

Hey. Lazy weekend here. Last night we went and visited some friends for a little while. Otherwise just hanging at home. I finally got the picture frame I’ve been waiting on so I can hang up V’s NB pic with the other 2. I have to redo my collage because it doesn’t work there to have the 3 frame, but that’s a project for another day. chrisy01 and klong11 I hope you’re both feeling better quickly.

I’ve gone off the deep end.
The other day we saw a posting for a job for MH in Germany. It’s with the company he has been applying and interviewing with. He has actually spoken to the recruiter for overseas before. I want him to get that job.
He tried to make contact Friday, but the recruiter may not have been working on Friday. I have no clue what his chances are to even be considered, but it’s all I’ve been thinking about all weekend and I’ve convinced myself that we are moving there.
I just opened the Duolingo app to start to learn German. 🙈🙉 Somebody save me from myself. I really need them to speak tomorrow so I know whether or not we even have a shot so I can continue my manifestation or drop this charade. 🤪😂

She is 100 and hadn't been able to get one as of the last time I spoke to her. She is in assisted living and doesn't ever leave the property. Neither her or her aides have gotten it which is ridiculous

jewels it’s in south Germany. Where the bases are. It’s probably a stretch, but for some reason I feel very strongly about wanting to go. My grandmother was stationed there so it would be pretty cool.

My grandmother was stationed there so it would be pretty cool. No idea where the bases are but his brother is in south Germany. Close to both Switzerland and Austria. It’s beautiful th ere and I loved Munich.

My headache finally went away enough to function. Now we're waiting on chinese delivery.
Hoping Cadence will stay in her bed tonight so I can actually get some sleep. She says she has bad dreams. Hey, I'm fine with her coming to my bed, but she needs to bring her own pillow and blanket....and stop sleeping in the center of the bed!

I even reminded the kids about using nice manners--no 'yeah', grunting 1-word answers, etc. B ignored that and after about a minute kept trying to grab the Speak N Spell and play that, then started crying and stomped off when I gave him the death glare and moved it out of reach. C, at least, was friendly. I'm sure the ILs think I'm doing a super awesome job.

If anything S will take my phone and start showing her things all around the house, in an attempt to get her dizzy lol. H tolerates the video for about 2 minutes before she’s over it.

We FaceTime my parents almost every night. It calms L down (he reads to my mom) and E is just crazy no matter what. I’m not a fan but they enjoy seeing the kids. When E wears her nightgown she curtsies to them.
