We’re good! Kids are off school this week so I’m attempting to keep them entertained and do some gardening/spring cleaning.
Really, I just want a longggg nap though.

N goes back to school tomorrow! They had a very long spring break 😒
I’m in such a good place with my meds that I’m contemplating a second child 😱
Work was so exhausting this weekend with a very bad social/living situation that I wish I were on vacation from work for a week or two.
Really I just want ONE DAY where I can sleep in, uninterrupted. Not a 6am wake up and DH takes N and N let’s me sleep. just straight sleep until you wake up on your own. And I’ll help by taking plenty of sleeping aids lol.

Hey all,
Work has been insane. We went from Kids hybrid on an A/B schedule to special kids can come 4 days a week to everyone comes 4 days a week and now everyone 5 days in the span of 6 weeks. It's been exhausted. Plus I still have some virtual kids so I'm still doing mostly in person but some online. I come home every night exhausted.
J is loving school. He just thrives there. They said he's the only one who can identify his numbers above 20 so he's in charge of the calendar everyday and sings the song. I love that!
My parents came down for the first time since December (though that was a window visit) so first time they've been inside since November. It was nice and J had a blast. He ran around so much that he napped which was awesome. He naps maybe once a week at this point.
Potty training is still exhausting. He does well at home. He's going 6 or 7 times here when he's home but he refuses to go at school. He of course isn't night trained yet either.
I'm fully vaccinated, my parents are fully vaccinated, and DH just got his first shot today so I'm feeling better about things.
We got our Pre-K registration packets yesterday. I'm registering him for Pre-K and his learning center and we'll decide this summer. I'm so undecided because his speech is still hard to understand though he never stops talking now. Plus he'll be the youngest in his class. I just can't believe he's old enough to go to school with me in August.
J's been sleeping really well and getting up betwween 630 and 7 every day EXCEPT the weekends. He's up by 6 at least one weekend day every week. I don't get it. But since he's in bed before 8 I guess I'll live with it.

Ok, I'm back to write more but my life is boring AF and I have nothing exciting to write! LOL
M continues to be a big boss and refuse to PT. I admit to being the worst and not pushing it but I was hoping it would just click eventually but no dice.
D1 will play soccer starting in a couple weeks. It is really the only interaction she has with kids so she is excited.
Numbers are spiking up here again, ugh! I'm not eligible for the vaccine till the 19th so here I sit, waiting impatiently. I just want to feel safe with some level of protection. I know it isn't a solve-all but it will feel good for some peace of mind.

I just want to feel safe with some level of protection. I know it isn't a solve-all but it will feel good for some peace of mind. We enrolled N in floor hockey and soccer classes. He was SO happy for soccer class and loved it per my nanny and he was terrified of floor hockey at first and wouldn’t even get off my lap but then he slowly went by the coach. Then an older girl held his hand and showed him how to hit the puck and by the end of the class he was running all over getting into the group trying to hit the puck. It was an amazing transformation, I was so happy I was able to get out of work and make it over there in time. They’re growing up so fast, it blows my mind that they’re so big. But still so snuggly when they want to be. |

DD has been going to gymnastics since it reopened in December. And DS finally got off the waitlist and In tiny tots class a month or two ago. They both love it so much.
There are some insane people there that bring a kids toy and stick it on whatever part of the obstacle course. Then and tell the kids they have to go up there and do whatever to get the toy. The kids scream and cry get their toy and then their parents just takes it away and puts it on the next thing. It’s horrible. Thankfully those types drop out fast.
DD is doing great in preschool. Hopefully next year it can be 4x a week. We will see what happens.
DH and I pre-registered for the vaccine. Impatiently waiting ...

addymac I really deleted it. If I wanted to go back I’d have to make a new profile. I was frustrated with having so many eyes on me with professional and semi professional “friends” I posted something I found funny , self deprecating and sarcastic. And then decided I needed to delete it. And I was like I this is my page. I have every member of my extended family and my husbands that if I didn’t have Facebook I would have zero contact/association with. And really I’d Facebook contact ? My life is just available for them to creep at or judge. As I’m judging them for who they vote for and all there wrongness. So peace to everyone who isn’t in my pandemic bubble. But I miss my Facebook moms group. That’s my only regret.

I’d like to remove a handful more, but haven’t been upset enough to do it. I was close to deleting, but I really like participating in my local Buy Nothing group and my daughters PTA page. H doesn’t have one at all... |

This week is Spring break... I sign T up for a coding camp and she loves it after one day.
R is a handful. I still waiver on leaving her at daycare for the summer or sending her to the Y for camp. She loves daycare and we love her teacher. But camp will be at the school she’ll go to for pre-k and she’s a little shy so I think that’d be good for her to know the environment/some people. But, I think NYS won’t allow for swimming this summer again unless they’re independent and my big draw is getting her exposed to swimming....

bsouls. That’s tough. Is the camp split into sessions and she could do part daycare and then camp the second session? N is signed up for six weeks of summer camp. It’ll be an hour longer than his current half day so I’m excited about that extra free time haha. Then it’ll be Lucky camp for N- lucky is our nanny’s dog and she just takes him to her house and with her dog and husband they go on hikes or go fishing or boating. N looooves his “Lucky camp” time so I’m excited for him. I know being in school 5 days a week is hard bc he doesn’t get his adventure time with her family. Except it’s like 80* today - amazing - and N is like uhhh I wish it were colder 😒 WHO ARE YOU?!? I told him he should move to Alaska 😂

I got daycare! I’m sick of the babysitter shuffle and madness always worried about whether or not I can keep my job. Going back to a daycare provider we had when It was only DD.
DH got his first vaccine two days ago and my first one is next Friday.

Yes i am sure. We do have a YMCA but their camps are very limited for this summer ( not sure if that is always or just covid related). We live inthe middle of nowhere so there isnt much else for little onez. Once J hits 5 there are a lot of other things to do.

You guys.....My birthday is on earth day, and I love that. I got DD a shirt with a picture of the earth that says we are in this together.
I said to her here is an earth shirt, it’s earth day let’s wear this today.
She looks at me very seriously and say. No mama, I don’t like the earth. Like what!?! That was such a funny moment.

Had my outside table umbrella open it bent under the weight and shattered the glass table. Wtf to alternating spring summer and winter this April. |
