It's a holiday here. Normally MH tries to work on holidays, but he decided not to today. He took the big kids to the park to release a giant water bug they found last weekend. C just fell asleep for her nap and I think I'm going to go sit in the backyard with my coffee and book. The grass needs to be mowed today. And I need to order the bathtub and light fixture for our bathroom.

Testing starts today.

They upgraded ALM this weekend and now everyone is having issues.

My users who should have access to forms don’t.

And I have to lead a 2 hour training from 2-4 on a application that is still being built.

For now I’m going to make myself a yogurt, finish my coffee and just keep pushing forward...

mc13 so freaking cute!

I def have a case of the Mondays today. I’m cold & tired.. I wish I could hide under a blanket and take a nap.

Instead I did a workout this morning and ate way too many pretzels. Need to hit the caffeine.

It’s a holiday today so we’re taking it easy after getting way too much sun yesterday. I cleaned a bathroom and tidied the kids’ rooms. Going to cut the grass today and that is all. I do have to work tonight though.

After much debate, R finally made her soccer decision (staying Rec or doing a higher commitment level team) and staying Rec until next year's Select season(which I think is the best thing for her). She wants to improve, so we'll see if she commits to that goal.

I have a really light week, but gotta start packing for our trip on Saturday. S left for a client, so the house is empty, and part of me wants to be really productive sand part of me wants to be really lazy 🤣

I'm cleaning my house today because that's been very neglected lately. Drinking iced coffee. It's "cold" and cloudy today (63! lol) so we are not going anywhere except swim lessons, after 5 days in a row at the beach.

Also woke up to no hot water this morning because our tankless hot water heater needs a new motor fan, so mh had to take a polar bear plunge style shower before work. They are coming to fix it later this afternoon.

I just tackled some good digital parenting jobs. We're going away for the weekend and then some, so I contacted all the appropriate authorities (school, DCx2). Then I organized a playdate with C's BFF. And while organizing that, the BFF's mom and I decided to sign both of our kids up for the same summer gymnastics program. They only had two spots left, so we both jumped on it and got our kids enrolled. They will be so excited.

This is the kind of parenting that I excel at. DH is great at the "doing fun things at home" parenting and I'm all over the "socializing with the rest of the world" parenting. I've definitely been coming up short over the last year, so I am thrilled to be able to play my own game again.

I just got home from a short trip to the new house to meet the termite guys and an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. Surgery is happening in July.

There are 3 wks and 2 days of school left and his teacher sent out a note yesterday saying they finished the science/social studies curriculum for the year so the last zoom call of the day is canceled for the rest of the year. I am v excited because now J is done for the day at 12:45 instead of 3:00 and oh the possibilities!

I hope the recovery time will be short!

it's a little chillier this week, but still nice. I'll probably work in the garden this week a bit, and hubby is supposed to go out to the property at some point. Maybe.
Just enjoying my fruit the past few days. Love the time of year it's all (relatively) cheap!

Thanks, friend! It should be pretty quick and easy.

We just had an impromptu trip to my parents to drop something off and their neighbours invited us and the kids to come catch frogs in their pond. We left with some frog spawn and newly hatched tadpoles for a spring/summer science project.

This is L's last week of homeschool kindergarten, and she started it by doing one of her Camp Kiwi crates before breakfast. She was already at full speed with MH before I even came down for my first cup of coffee LOL. Homeschooling has gone well for us this school year which I needed since everything else in my life felt so rocky. If we stay in this area, our co-op is already lined up for the fall! We have a playdate and PE with some of them this week, and I'm so grateful to be making IRL mom friend connections again.
ETA was this the coffee post? I just got a 2nd bag of Dunkin Donuts medium roast for home. For not fancy coffee, it's affordable and tastes good.

Just moved my lettuce and broccoli outside and put my nasturtium out as well because it got huge fast. Both the kids wanted to "help" and I'm pretty sure that W got a mouthful of dirt before I could get it from her 😂
