I went out to dinner with only adults last night and it was amazing! MH couldn’t make it because DS had his first high school game and he was soo nervous so he went to that. They won 9-1 so I think he feels a lot better now. Today was DD’s soccer game and cleaning around the house. My new dryer comes May 5th so I have had stuff hanging all over the place all weekend and now some stuff is drying at my parent’s house.
I’m super nervous but excited for my meeting tomorrow about the job transfer. I don’t know if it’s an interview or what. It’s only 15 minutes because it’s between my classes but I hope it goes well.

No drama to report. It was a bit emotional at times but the wife wasn’t there, only her step dad. She left strict instructions on what they were allowed to take. 🙄
Anyway, now we’re grilling steaks and corn on the cob. I’m baking potatoes and I already made banana bread for dessert.

kim22 not having a dryer would be so difficult, and there are only 3 of us! I can't imagine! Good luck with the talk tomorrow, so exciting!

Hi. We just got back home. We went to the zoo and the boys had fun. Weather was real nice and then we left from there. Boys napped most of the way home, so I put on a podcast and it was an easy 2.5 hours.
My friend/coworker from AL happened to be in Memphis at her brother’s house for her mom’s birthday, so we met before the zoo. It was so good to see her in person. We talk and the boys FaceTime her al the time, but it’s just different when you get to out your eyes on them. So glad. We are probably stopping overnight at her house on the way to the beach in June, so we’ll get to spend more time with her then.

We have a chance to go to The Park on Tuesday. I’m super nervous about taking the kids especially E. But I know if I don’t take this opportunity now it’s going to be at least another 4 months before we can go again. I’ve just been keeping E in a controlled environment for so long and for the most part L too. I know they have lots of sanitizing going on but I’m still nervous. Am I doing the right thing?

Just used dish soap in my kid's bubble bath. I'm sure she's got grease and food particles somewhere on her person that needs to soak off. Really it just makes the best bubbles.

chrisy01 I think you will be fine. I went to a six flags which I consider way below the type of park you can go to and I was super comfortable even though I have yet to dine indoors in over a year. (Even our adult only, everyone fully vaccinated dinner was outdoors last night). I say take them and if you are uncomfortable, leave early.

It’s what the old people used back then, right? No harm in it. At least my grandmother did. I took many a bath in dish soap bubbles when I spent the night at her house. Squeaky clean. 😂

chrisy01 I’m assuming the capacity will be low and limited, right. I say do it. Maybe go early to do as much as you can before it may become uncomfortable for you. If it’s keeping you up at night, then scratch that. Not worth the loss of sleep.

I’m annoyed. My realtor just texted me that the appraiser is coming tomorrow. Tomorrow! And she is not sure what time. I need more notice to make sure my house is ready. The house isn’t that bad since we were gone this weekend, but since it’s the appraisal, I would like for it to be damn near staged.
She is lucky I don’t have to work tomorrow, because I would have straight up told her no. And to think I was going to take tonight to just chill out amd relax. 🙄 lolme

Is it just here, but I really don't think the appraisers went into our house when we bought it. I think for our refi they just looked at comps and drove by. Hope it goes well🤞

We walked around the block and some neighbors had a blanket full of toys out for free...so we now have a frozen little people set, a toy story 4 RV, a puzzle, 2 books, an airplane and a transformer 🤦. Mh was like wtaf when we rolled up with all this crap. It was some good stuff! K is alarmingly into frozen for a 1.5 year old..so figure it's okay to steer into it for a bit. chrisy01 will she wear a mask? I'd go and only go on rides that are open air or just walk around and enjoy the park. If it's too stressful, just call it a day and head home. The risk of getting it outside is low and vaccinations are picking up, which should be bringing down the community spread.

chrisy01 I'm team go to The Park. That was one of the cleanest kid friendly places I've ever gone pre-Rona and I'm sure with the precautions they are taking it's extra clean. Especially if they'll both wear masks and are low-risk (no asthma or other breathing issues). Like others said, you can always leave if it doesn't work out. If you do go have a churro for me.

We got raspberries from Costco yesterday and today I opened them and there was a whole inch-long caterpillar in there. 😬 🐛 I'm guessing the refrigeration was enough to do him in, but I had Cass take him outside. But her flinging him into the patio probably didn't help matters.

She yells nose when it slips below her nose.

chrisy01 I’d go. I’ve always felt relatively safe outside and just avoid crowded places. I really can’t wait for the zoo to open again. It’s one of my happy places, not because I love the zoo that much, but because the kids do so much, and those faces when we tell them we’re going... priceless! Hope you have a great day and make wonderful memories ☺️.
