Happy Saturday! I’m in the car wash line while Dh is home mopping floors. Winning! We are mostly packed (well all my clothes are in piles, waiting for my packing cubes to arrive from Amazon) there’s an edible cookie dough food truck in the brewery parking lot. I might have to stop and pick some up on my way home. The line was too long when I drive by the first time.
I need to make a quick stop at target and then once L wakes up we are heading to our friends for a couple hours to celebrate her 40th. It’s almost 50 today so hopefully the kids will run outside and burn some energy.

jewels oh nooooo are they allowed to do that?!? I’m so sorry, I hope you find a new place 😕. They said a tub leaked and they had to repair the damage and that was the only time they could do it I think they are lying but what can I do. We just found a new house in the Hamptons that is great. Not as great as the first place. But we'll have fun anyway.

jewels , that stinks! I don’t know if you’re heading in this direction or not, but If I see anything on our local boards, I’ll let you know! Haha I don't even think i really know where you are! But I think we found something, as I just posted. MH is not thrilled with it, and it is not as great as what we were originally doing. But the families will be together and it will be fine.

So remember how I told you guys we booked a house in CT for spring break week? Yeah, the AirBnB lady cancelled it this morning. My friends and I are in a tailspin trying to find somewhere else big enough for 3 families in an area we don't have to quarantine from/to. I am pissed. The house was PERFECT and in the perfect location and everything. Well that’s rude of them, I’m sorry. Hopefully you’re able to find something else.

jewels I’m glad you found something, the company probably matters more than the location. Teachers were very suddenly allowed to get vaccinated after Biden’s announcement the other day and my sister found me an appointment right away so I had my first dose last night. I’m so relieved because my school also has a case already yesterday on day 4 without any students yet. I have a massive headache today but I also woke up to my period so I think it’s more than the vaccine.

With each kid you learn something new. For example that apparently, it is possible to latch on to a part of your boob that isn’t the nipple and that it is soooo painful 😱😱😱.

You all said you like Skipbo for the kids? I've never played but watched a video on Amazon and it seems.... complicated? So many piles?

wineallthetime i started playing Skipbo around 2nd grade. Yes there are a lot of piles but it's easy to learn. Basic counting game.

lahdeedah I love it! That's so sweet of her! We picked up a bundt cake that my mom randomly ordered for us today, so we are eating well too. kim22 I'm so glad you got a vaccine🙌 I can't believe so many states hadn't opened it up to teachers yet. My NJ cousin got hers last weekend, but had to drive down to south jersey near her parents. My mom gets her second dose tomorrow! My BIL was able to get a cancellation/extra dose appt yesterday and I may be in a qualified group now because the language on the website says "higher ed staff".. which I am. Still have some reservations about optics of cutting the line since I'm otherwise the lowest priority group, but there was a NYTimes article about still getting it even if not on-site and not feeling guilty.

kim22 yaay!!! When will you get the second dose? The 23rd. It’s less than 3 weeks but I asked the guy if he was sure that was okay and he insisted so I guess the sooner the better. It’s also a Tuesday and Wednesday I still work from home and only teach 27 minutes on then 27 minutes off and I have a teacher’s aide that day so it I don’t feel great, I may be able to suck it up.

tallb I still felt bad going even though I have actually qualified for a while because of my kidney disease. I figured while I was working from home, I could wait but now that I go back, I really am happy I was able to go.

tallb and guster I am conflicted as well. They just changed the rules in nj and as of next week you qualify with a BMI of 25. Which at 5’1 is not very much. In fact, when I was at ‘wedding weight’ aka my thinnest in the past 20 years, I was 1 pound under that. So officially I qualify now. But I’ve been feeling weird about it since so many teachers and people with true dangerous conditions haven’t gotten it yet. I still think I’m going to book it. But I’ll probably be pretty quiet about it.

kim22 Yay for the vaccine!! So glad you were able to get in since you will be back in the classroom. jewels Glad you all found something so quickly. I agree that the reason they gave is sketchy and probably a lie. ETA: and don’t feel guilty about getting the vaccine. With so many more available doses now and in the future months, take it whenever you can. My dad got his this week because someone at his church works at one of the places that is administering here and she put him on the waitlist for extra doses not to go to waste. He just gave her my mom’s info, so hopefully in the next week or so, my mom will have hers, too. They are both 60, but not 65, so don’t meet the states qualifications just yet.

Between us, my grandparents, and my brother’s family, there is less than 1/4th of that cake left. 😂 This is the fastest it has been eaten. My dad and brother’s fam finally tasted the cake at Christmas time and now they know what they have been missing all this time. It’s really not your average red velvet. Anyway, I’m glad I don’t have much left to eat.
