I leave on Friday, so of course my blinker goes out. I replaced the bulb...still not working. Now I have to take it in at some point between now and Friday, but not miss any work.
OH AND accountant who is out 2-3 times a week sent out an email "ADVISING" everyone that I would be out M-W of next week and that she had "previously scheduled appointments" that she would have to be out for. She's full of it because I booked this damn hotel back in February or March. She can take her "previously scheduled" appointments and shove them up her ass.
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!

Morning! Kids at school this morning. I was ticked of by a mom at school. Ds had a birthday party. They asked before the party that if you wanted your kid in a car seat to bring the car seat to school, so I did (not easy on a bike!) I saw them driving away and my kid was not in his seat. If you did not plan to install the seat, why ask?! I hate other people driving with my kids. I’m OTT with control, I know… people with older kids, this will get easier right?
I had a very sensible meal of grilled chicken breast, broccoli and potatoes planned. I switched it to nachos 🙈.

Morning.
Another night of crap sleep. The boys are getting too big to sleep with in a Queen bed. M2 must have been having a nightmare because he woke up sobbing and it took me a while to get him back to sleep MOTN. I was up early and my back hurts from the bad sleep. My sister and nieces left this morning and I am heading up to my ILs later this afternoon. We’ll have two beds there so I get to starfish and hopefully get some good sleep.

Morning. We dropped H off for her first day of camp this morning. She was excited to go, and it’s going to be a really hot week for her. I dropped the other 2 off with my step mom a little bit ago because I have an ortho appt. I don’t remember if I mentioned but one of my brackets popped off on Saturday and I have a wire that has been stabbing me so I’m happy to get that fixed too. Not sure what we will do for the rest of the afternoon until it’s time to pick up H.

We all still have a cough and runny nose, but everyone is getting back to normal. H hasn’t complained about her ear in a few days so I think that’s feeling better. Almost done with S’s eye drops. I’ll be happy when this all passes.

nam2013, are kids his age not using car seats still? Was he in a booster or just straight on the seat? I would be upset if I was told to bring the seat and it wasn't used. I would be crazy if DS was not using anything, but the norm here is a booster seat. Happy Birthday to E chrisy01! lahdeedah, that sleeping arrangement sounds horrible. Hopefully tonight is better!

This is my last full week working from home. We go to 2 days in starting next week until August and then 3 days in until September. In September we can telework up to 2 days a week, but I am guessing it will end up more like 1, but we will see. I need to go around and collect office supplies and a couple of decorations and plants I took home. It is 90+ degrees so no walk today but the weather will break Wednesday. Other than that, SSDD here.

wedding a lot of kids his age are in boosters. Since ds is so light, legally he is allowed in one, plus I’m a stickler with seats, this seat is up to 12yo, why not use it?! Apparently this car had build in car seats in the back, which okay fine, but why then ask me to bring a seat 🤷🏼♀️. Over here, for incidental trips, say like a birthday party or a taxi ride, kids are allowed to not be in seats.

The only time j has been in someone else's car was a buddy and the mom and I discussed which carseat he'd be in. We got one of those little ones that can fit in a backpack though just before covid in case of playdates and all.

I don’t think my kids ever rode in anyone’s car besides my parents or my sister until they were out of seats.
DS just got his second vaccine, fx my other kids will be able to get theirs before the fall.

I'm working from home today. I had brunch with a friend from Mexico City. She was supposed to fly back tonight but **trigger warning*** her best friend's 11 month old passed away over the weekend so she is going to stay for the funeral. She'll drive to Louisiana tomorrow so I told her she could just stay with us instead of trying to get another hotel room. She's currently shopping and will be here later. She's a lot of fun so I think the kids will be happy to have someone else to say "watch this" to. lol.

Thanks girls for validating my feelings, we try to go on field trips every single time to prevent our kids from riding in other peoples cars, because I don’t feel comfortable, but with things like this what can you do?
I texted the mom, saying that ds sometimes get car sick when he’s tired and I’d like him to ride in his own seat and hope that that would help, apparently she listened, he was in his own seat on the way back.
Eta other people exclude my parents, they’re in their car every week.

tgrimes that is heartbreaking. I just cannot (and don’t want to) imagine that. It’s the worst thing about having kids, the always present worry that something might happen to them.

It’s the worst thing about having kids, the always present worry that something might happen to them. ****trigger warning**** It was the craziest thing, too. They went to the beach for vacation and he started throwing up. They took him to the ER and that's when they found out his intestines were all kinds of twisted. Something he's always had but it just began to effect him now. They lifeflighted him to LA and performed 3 surgeryies. They were only able to save 5% of his intestines and then he became septic. It's freaking terrible.

Me in my nanny state is still shocked every time anyone talks about kids on field trips in other parents cars. In my district, my own parents were not allowed to drive me home from gymnastic meets, I had to take the team bus for “liability reasons.” I was in high school....

Part of it is that school busses do not exist over here. In middle/high school they would often rent a coach for field trips or we would take a train (not fun for the teacher I know now because of Dh…). Apparently for Thursday they rented a horse drawn carriage to take the kids to their field trip as a surprise for the while class .
