We started putting a roof on the chicken run this weekend. I am TIRED. We didn't get the panels up, but cemented in posts and put up the crosspieces. It doesn't sound like much, but why does doing things with three kids make everything 6x harder?!
I drank some decaf earl grey, and had a bowl of cereal.
I am about to put on podcasts and clean because we weren't inside all weekend, except to make a mess, apparently, and it SHOWS. I have the big kids doing virtual school, so I have 40 minutes now, and 60 minutes later this morning, which is a LOT of time.

It’s a rainy morning and I had a teeny frog jump at me in the garage this morning. Scared the crap out of me.
Everyone is at school today. Our screened porch/deck project is starting this week and swim lessons start again on Friday. R starts back full time next Monday (masks and 3ft separation except for lunch which will still be 6ft). Her class had 5 kids until last month when 4 kids from the virtual cohort joined. But now her class will go from 9 kids to 18 kids when the rest of the virtual cohort comes back. I’m not sure how to feel - I’m both nervous and excited for her. We go until the end of June so she’ll get a full 10 weeks of in person *almost* normal school. At least all of the adults in our lives are at least partially vaccinated -T and I get our 2nd shot on the 30th.

I’m sipping my coffee and thinking about making eggs.
I have a long todo list this week but blahhh I’m feeling bad after getting the jab yesterday. I want to go through all of my clothes and get organized. My closet is just a mess and I can never see what I have.

My husbands car won’t start, mine had a nail in the tire, and I have an 11am I need to talk during.
I set a 9:30 service and pray I’m back by 11.
Coffee, no breakfast, need to work on things.

We had a really great weekend, that was both pleasurable and productive. However, spring break is now over and so we are back to virtual schooling today and I am OVER it. Supposedly the district is slowly working through their list of wait-listed kids for in-person schooling and if we get the opportunity I think we will send him.
I woke up grumpy this morning because I didn't sleep great so I'm actively trying to change my attitude. We seem to have a bit of an ant problem in both our bathroom and sunroom, which is annoying me and I am trying to figure out if I need to call a pro or just keep handling it ourselves. Not much going on this week except I have a very long-overdue haircut scheduled for Thursday and I am very excited about it!

J is back to virtual school today after being on spring break last week.
I am working on pre-k applications today for the twins for next year. Apparently the program is super competitive and hard to get into.
I also applied for 3 jobs this morning because my boss is a mess. I have a meeting with her new boss today to see if I can report to someone else.

I have drip coffee with half and half and vanilla stevia. Weekend went by super fast, and we were out of town seeing family, so it was also not very productive. Nothing too exciting this week.

To add to it, I was going over my taxes last night and daycare sent me someone else’s form.
I also had to email the camp director, since Turbo tax is making me report a EIN number for my child care for once. I think I got around it before because C was still in daycare part of the year in 2019.
I hate Turbo Tax. As an accountant I just want the option to look at the damn form and instructions.

Coffee with oat milk. And I made sausage and egg on english muffin.
Girls are back to school after a week of quarantine. I have one mid-morning client today and then that's it. Might do some curtain shopping

It's snowing and will snow all day today and tomorrow. Feels strange after so many days of nice weather.
I'm still working on my first cup of coffee and I think I'm going to make scrambled eggs for myself.
I need to make some decisions about tile and vanities for our bathroom reno. I think I'll make a thread later.

I treated myself to a pour over coffee and a pastry from a new local place. Worth it!

Had coffee with sweet cream creamer and eggs, bagel, and ham. Got the call this morning that the offer made on the property was accepted so lots of planning needs to start. 40 acres of pure thick woods. We won't be moving there until next summer at least but just thinking about the possibilities is making me super excited and nervous at the same time.
First thing is to clear it out a bit, then... house shopping!

Are you going to build separate houses? the plan right now as I understand it is that we're going to get somewhere between 5 and 10 acres to do with as we wish and the rest is going to be turned into an RV park for them? Eventually my parents would build a house to be here permanently, but that's down the road and may or may not happen |

Arg. Hiring has never been super easy in Vermont (one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country), but I've always been able to find someone. But right now it's bonkers. Folks don't want in-person jobs (or so it seems). I posted a job opening three days ago and I've gotten three applicants. Two of the three are top of google search criminals (domestic assault for one, cocaine and violating parole for the other). The other one has applied to every job that I've listed over the last year and didn't show up to the interview that I offered for the first listing. Blerg.
