Workin Wednesday

[jewels]

I had to check 3 times to make sure it actually was Wednesday.  I'm so confused this week.

Anyway, I'm back in the office.  Got here early and can't get myself motivated to actually do anything lol.  Yesterday, instead of going to the dinner I was nervous about, I ran to pick up the kids and met their friends at the park by our house for a bit of bike riding/playground fun before dinner.  It was a beautiful day and I was so glad we got to play outside!

Morning! I’m getting my 2nd Covid shot today 🙌

My house is in a state of post vacation disaster. My H is off today and claims he is going to work on putting things away and cleaning up. But I’d bet anything he will get distracted tinkering on something in the garage and nothing will get done inside.

My BIL will be here Friday for turkey season and is staying for 2 weeks 😬. Then next week friends from GA are coming or a week (I’m excited for their visit, just not BIL). So we will have a houseful. Hence the house desperately needing cleaned.

Morning.

jewels Glad you did what you wanted and had a great afternoon.

lfig I can’t remember, but did you lose your cleaning lady because she moved? If not, schedule her to come. One thing off your plate.

Hi.

Going to workout in a bit. I have almost 2 months to get this body beach ready before our week at the beach, so I’m trying to be consistent. It’s going to be a wet, rainy day. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon and I need to make sure the guest room and bathroom get cleaned and ready for my mom. She is coming For a visit this weekend because it’s my work weekend, so helping out with the boys.

Morning! I get my first vaccine today. Other than that, SSDD.

No, we still have her, but she had to cancel last week. 😞. She comes again Tuesday but we’ve got so much shit piled around I have to put away before she can clean. Lol.

I'm at the office today. MH is getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow so he's on a liquid diet today and already delightful this morning.

I got both boys to school and cleaned our bathroom. I don't think I had done anything but a counter wipe in a month. Promptly took a shower. Now doing puzzles with Mallory until I need to get Jackson. I scheduled the 4 of us for dental check ups. I couldn't get any of us in at the same time. So 4 separate appointments. So annoying.

I have an insurance audit tomorrow so I need to prepare for that.

Brought Cadence to work today. She's doing well.
Mh was confused as to why I brought her. Uh, so you don't yell at her in your frustration with work. Simple as that.

We are supposed to have a play date with the same little girl from this weekend. We are going to a different park after work to meet them and feed some turtles. It looks like its going to rain though, so we may have to postpone.

[guster]

Dropped Charlie off at school and took Josie to a nearby parking lot to practice riding her bike. Any tips? She’s not afraid to fall, which is great, but she tends to lean, and then out her foot down.

[nam2013]

Sounds like a good day jewels.

Yaay for vaccines!!!

[nam2013]

guster the one thing we did wrong was getting a bike that was to big! Seriously we got ds a tiny bike and it made him feel a lot more secure and he learned within hours.

Eta he did ride a balance bike for sometime before that.

[nam2013]

All kids were home today. No school today for Ds, his teacher has been in contact with someone with Corona, so I had all three kids today. Luckily my h could come home a little early. I made a shopping appointment to get some random kingsday crap, no celebrations of course, but I can deck out the the area around our cottage & create some games with prizes.

I got falafel for tonight, but I’m not feeling it...

[klong11]

Mystery red chair has made it back home. It came out of the IT closet. No idea why it kept coming back to mine, but it's home now.

[inthekitty]

Morning ladies.

Yay for getting dose #1 mwhip!

Nothing exciting over here. It's another gorgeous day though. It's supposed to be beautiful all week and almost 80 this weekend.

I have no answers for you. H leaned a lot with her training wheels. DH just kept working with her and eventually she got it.

Morning. I went to the ortho after dropping S off to get impressions done of my teeth and make my first payment. Goodbye money. Then to target and now back home for a bit before I have to pick S back up. I have a bunch of laundry to put away this afternoon, which sounds like no fun.

This is what I figured would be the answer. She is on her small bike (thanks, @nam) because I don’t want to get her a new one until she’s really ready to ride so I know that she feels confident in it. She’s great with the training wheels and a real speed demon on the scooter, so I guess it’s just 20 or 30 minutes every day of trying it out.

Do you have a balance bike?  M was great with her training wheels on but just couldn't balance without them.  She had the scooter down, too.  It wasn't until a friend of ours lent us their balance bike for a week that she figured it out.

We'd try to see how long she could ride with her feet up on the balance bike.

Funny - B has been riding his balance bike forever.  But we tried to put him on a regular bike both with and without training wheels and he FREAKED out.  He is so fast and secure on that balance bike that I'm surprised.

[lahdeedah]

It’s raining out, my legs feel like jello, and I have no desire to leave the house for the dentist. I would rather take a nap. I know they are over a month out on scheduling, so I must go. Boo.

That's the way H is!  MH tried to take his training wheels off because he's excellent on the balance bike and H couldn't do it.  Lol!

Of course it's the same way.  Those boys are so similar!!

[mwhip]

Evie never learned to ride her bike with the training wheele and its too small now, we got rid of it last fall. Her new bike doesn't have training wheels so I have no idea how she will learn. I'm hoping her watching me ride will motivate her.

My shot is done, there was 0 pain, I want to ask the lady who did it to come to my house every Friday to do Evies! Im just waiting 4 more minutes then headed back to work.

We bought one for Charlie two years ago and they both just don’t like it. I still have it somewhere in the garage so maybe I’ll give it another shot

I’m so glad you got the first shot. I may have mentioned this to you before but our pediatricians office uses something called a shot blocker. It basically looks like a bristle block that has a hole for the needle in it. It makes the sensation of the needle lessened because they’re already poking the child with a gentler material.
I think a bike might be in my near future. If I want to take them to the trails, there’s no way I can keep up with them while running.

We tried something similar this last Friday, Buzzy Bee. It's a little bee that vibrates and the wings are ice packs. She said it helped a little. Its mostly in her head, although I have read that methotrexate burns when its injected and I think that is the biggest problem. The needle I use is so small, its for diabetics to inject insulin, so its tiny!
