My parents just bought a new 24' trailer. I love it. It's nicer than their actual house and I think they're paying like $157 a month.

yeah we sold our older camper last weekend to the first person that saw it, for exactly what we asked for. they're going quickly! We ordered our new one in Feb and it just came last week. treeofheaven, our camper kitchen/flooring is 100% more updated and nicer than my house kitchen/flooring as well.

I think I'm still sore from camping last November.

I think I’m in the minority, but I did not like owning a trailer. ExH and I had one and I just felt like it was not worth the work. I much prefer tent camping. ExH wanted to keep it when we divorced and I was more than happy to oblige.

I love camping but I’m not looking forward to my trip in July. I think it’s not what I want for my first post pandemic trip. I’m trying to psych myself up because my kid is so excited and it’s to a place I’ve always wanted to go. But like, I’d also like a pool by the beach.

I'd also like a pool by the beach. And a hot tub. But I'll take what I can get!

We did three days of tent camping last August and it was so goddamn hot. Never again. Fall? Yes.

We are going to the beach in 2.5 weeks and I'm very excited even though it will be a nightmare trying to get DS to sleep decently. We rent a swanky house and the one this year has a pool and hot tub. I am allll in.

My grandma is coming and I can't believe I'm going to get to see her in person. It's been 14 months. Everyone except DS will be fully vaccinated. Thank you science!

We usually don’t go that far for camping but our friends are doing a whole route and we are meeting them at this stop. Plus it’s an hour from my family so we will stop to stay with them on the way there. It’s supposed to be wonderful so I’m sure I will love it.

jaygee, that sounds really great but I get what you're saying. Camping trips are TRIPS not VACATIONS

I was 100% skeptical about the camper until we got it and now I love it. MH empties the poo so it doesn’t factor for me.

Our provincial government is so fucking inept I’m on the verge of crying. I don’t know why because this isn’t new. Yesterday at 1pm Minister of Ed confirms schools will reopen next week. Today at 3:15 pm the Premier announces schools will not reopen and are in fact closed indefinitely. I’m so tired and feeling like we’ll never get our shots.

So how do you people feel about tent camping with a 5MO and a 4YO over Memorial Day weekend? 😅

I just watched a 5 part tik tok of a woman paying a doctors bill in pennies. I don’t know why I couldn’t stop.

I think I posted on here awhile back that I was excited that my daughter’s social security card had finally arrived. That was premature. 😒 When I opened the envelope, it was a denial letter. My H’s parents allowed him to reach adulthood with his last name misprinted on his birth certificate and about a decade ago he went through the process to legally change his name to the correct spelling that matches the rest of his family and got his birth certificate updated. But he didn’t realize he needed to update Social Security so when we sent my daughter’s application they denied it because his name/SS number didn’t match their records.
So we had to send an application for both of them. I get those USPS informed delivery emails and I see two social security envelopes- one addressed to each of them- and my husband’s name is spelled correctly on his. I so so so hope these are their cards. I would like to file our taxes and get that adoption tax credit in our account.

The nerve of Lecce to announce they’d reopen yesterday when we all kinda knew they wouldn’t was something. Obviously I SAH so it doesn’t impact me the same, but I know these things fall on moms more, and I’m sorry you’re having to juggle work, covid and now virtual learning. The way this has been handled is shameful.

I did not enjoy it when she was young, even in a trailer. I also really enjoy adult only camping trips, except H's friend(s) are idiots at times.

I cancelled practice for DD’s team tonight because the weather looked iffy and has been gray and yucky all day, so naturally the sun came blazing through at exactly 5pm. I have so much anxiety over coaching this team already, this isn’t helping. Hopefully the parents just enjoy a night off.

Our 2nd grader is back twice a week since the middle of March with mandatory testing and it's been great but our fifth grader has been out since December along with a few other grades and they don't even mention them anymore. Like apparently they're never going back. And my youngest got to go back for two weeks on a hybrid schedule before they cancelled it again. It's so frustrating.

Literally just got an email that a kindy class at our school was just declared an outbreak. So lucky I was able to keep my girls home this week by choice, they share an after care group with kids from that class.

This will be happening with their dad and not you, correct? Because if that's the case, then I'm a strong yes. Otherwise, I am a very very strong no.
