Morning. Started the day off with a COVID test... negative off course, I’m fully vaccinated, known to have hay fever & when I’m tired I very often lose my voice, but once that ‘maybe....?’ Voice is in my head 🤦🏼♀️. Any of you girls have this too? Baby girl is very clingy due to yesterday’s shots. So lots of lounging on the couch with a half asleep baby, because god forbid I put her down . Veggie burgers on the menu tonight and we got some nice strawberries and I asked Dh to pick up some cream...

I have extras today. Hopefully everyone will get alone and be happy. The girl won't stop tattling on mj though so I'm not to hopeful.
I'm debating signing the boys up for a week long summer camp. It's campinvention which from what I gather is a nationwide program and they host it at schools. So it's at our middle school. A doesn't want to spend the money of course. But I think it would be fun for them and give me a break.. its 9-2 for 5 days.

Morning! Same old here. The dog ran away so we had to search for him. Every time we would find him he'd hear A screaming and bolt again.

Summer camps are so expensive! I lucked majorly because our city does a park program for ages 5 to 9. It's ALL summer, 9:30-1:30 and they go to various parks to play. You won't even believe the price. $250 for both kids for the whole summer.

I'm all about camps. It gives Cadence a chance to explore different things and maybe find some new interests or hobbies. And if it ends up being something she hates, she only has to do it for a week.

I say do it. peachsmama I agree with klong11 It gives M social time and to do different things- mostly have fun. At home he would mostly be in front of the TV or iPad or it would be on me to find stuff for us to do. I think it’s worth it for them and me. Right now M is registered for a camp at a college recreational building, but it’s every other week. I’ll check for some other camps for his off weeks, but if I don’t find any, I’m cool with every other week. It’s really just for the month of July because we won’t be home for most of June. wineallthetime 250 for the whole summer! Wow. There is a camp like that by the city park in our new city, but it was something that didn’t make it work for us this summer. I think it was inexpensive, too but not that inexpensive!

That was my thoughts. It's about making things which both my boys love. There's also a science one. I wanted to see about the zoo camp but I don't want to drive 45 minutes each way for a week..

I'm jealous. Our city does a similar program, but because it garners so much interest its on a lottery system. Last year (registration was before everything shut down) the system crashed multiple times. Then they had to cancel them all anyway.

Hi. I’m tired. I didn’t sleep well last night. Woke up coughing. 😒 I have some sinus drainage- probably from M2 because his allergies had got bad a couple days ago. nam2013 Yep my first mind goes straight to covid, but unless I have multiple symptoms or about to travel, I hold off on the testing because it’s most likely just allergies or a cold. M2 had picture day this morning, so I had to do some extra prep on my boy. I have a laser appointment in a few and later we finally get to have a baseball game. The weather is great today, so M will be excited. It’s a late evening game right at dinner time, so I have to decide if we are doing dinner before or after the game.

Hi! . I took Charlie to the park to see the peacocks that live there but for some reason they weren’t there this morning, so instead we drove back home where there’s a cute little horse farm around the corner from us and we took a walk up there. No summer camp for my two this year. We’ll go to the beach most mornings and swim here in the afternoons. The town camp is okay here — They spend their morning playing games and then walk over to the beach for the rest of the afternoon. There’s a better one about 15 minutes away and if the kids want to do that for future summers we’ll send then.

@lahdeehdah ‘happy’ to hear I’m not the only one... I now had no less than 8 (!) tests. The silly thing is, I’m not even that worried for myself, but idea that I could make someone else very sick is making my anxiety go through the roof.

Summer camps are not really a thing here. You have a few, but it’s not very common.

Morning. The weekend flew by, Fri was insane getting everything cleaned up in the yard and of course the plumber comes at the same time. I dont know if I mentioned here but the husband was asked by me to clean the tub drain Easter Sunday before he left, used a bush and got it stuck. I had to wait two weeks for the plumber to come, the only way to fix it was to cut a hole in the wall, cut the pipe and replace it. So $210, 1.5 hours and a hole in the wall later it was fixed. then he was like 'oh good, glad thats done 'to which my response was 'there is a hole in the wall, its not done' Anyway. another thing on my list to take care of. Yesterday I took off and went to look at a property at the golf community. It's a good size and has a double garage on it, so it would be clean up and then have a cabin built on it. Lots of moving parts but I think I'll be putting in an offer this week!

Hey! We are supposed to get snow today...WTH?! I am so ready for spring to stay and summer to get here!
My BIL is at my house for 2 weeks and is driving me nuts already. He is a slow talker. And monotone. And it just grates on my nerves...among many other things. I know it sounds petty.
Thursday we are headed to STL for my grandpa's funeral and then that evening we have friends from GA coming in. Basically I am going to be a crazy person the next couple of weeks trying to keep my house picked up with all these people there, cook for everyone, entertain everyone, sanitizing everything constantly. Blah Blah Blah.
And lastly my boss told me to hire someone else because he was able to secure some more money...so I did the leg work, found someone, got them excited for the possibility...and now my boss said HE found someone but forgot to tell me. Grr... he is trying to come up with more money for my person, but doesn't know if he can pull it off.

I'm jelly of summer camps for $250 all summer. That'd be a dream. Those kind of programs are expensive around here (easily $125/wk/kid). I really wanted to get the kids in swim lessons. For a town of our size we are seriously lacking in pools. It's annoying. The Y will not allow anyone who isn't a member because of Covid so I need to look into if I want to do that and how much it would be on top of lessons. Another place that would a 25 minute drive away charges something like $45 a lesson. It's insane. I need to see if parks and rec is doing anything. I'll get them back in horseback riding too. I'm not even going to look into most camps because I know they will be limited due to Rona and be expensive. If our TKD studio does summer camp I'll probably send the kids for 2 weeks. I have a lot of leave saved up though so I think I'll take some days off to hike in the middle of the week so the crowds will be lower. The girls better start training now because I'm already planning on taking them on my favorite 7 mile loop up Mt. Rainier again.

I'm the lead this week at work and the assignments have been piling in this morning I haven't even had a chance to do my actual work. I'm watching The Mouse and His Child in the background so I can relive the fever dreams I had of this nightmareish cluster when I was a child. It was on Disney Channel a lot and is up there with The Brave Little Toaster at being a creepy mess. Another really effed up old Disney Channel movie from the 80s was The Peanut Butter Solution. I rewatched it a few years ago and it was just as bizarre and creepy as I remember.

Snowy rainy day here so t-ball and soccer were cancelled. The kids wanted to take baths this morning so we did that and I got them in cozy pajamas and we have just mostly been playing board games and such all day. L did get a big wad of gum stuck in her hair so that was fun..

Holy crap Derrick Chauvin was found guilty of murder. I'm actually shocked and was anticipating being pissed about the verdict. Me too! I’m so happy. C and I watched together and continued our discussion about racism in our country. I know most wouldn’t talk to their kids about a murder case but for us I felt it was really important that he understands the big issues surrounding this and why this particular case has been so important.
