H's truck is gone! I filled out the form to drop off at the DMV on my way home from work and get a refund for our registration. It will only be about $40, but I'll take it!
We drove by the new house last night, they have the forms all set to pour our foundation. Of course it's storming here this morning and there is a chance of rain everyday in the extended forecast.

Morning.
We’re on the road. Hair appointment for me and then birthday dinner early this evening for M2.

Hi ladies. I have a lot of random crap to do and no motivation. I need to get moving because it all needs to be done before the maids come at 1. The girls have a half day for their (finally!) last day. I'm going to take them out to lunch. Probably Chuck E. Cheese. Send thoughts and prayers to my bowels.

Hey! I was trying to clean the house this morning but instead spent most of it dealing with V. I am at the salon getting a mani/pedi and my MIL and SIL are at my house watching the kids. We don’t have anything planned for the afternoon but I should probably work on cleaning up the garage and house so it’s ready for Saturday. Happy birthday to M2 lahdeedah!

I've got my extras today and we're at the splash pad. I love this one because it's completely fenced. No one can wonder off. I did payroll this morning and did my deposits. Now I'm just waiting on guys to call me and tell me what I screwed up 🤦♀️ we have swim lessons 4-6, a baseball tournament at 6:30 and I have my extras until 8. Long day... and I have more paperwork to do tonight.

I've decided I hate people who bring toys to the park. Like you're at the damn splash pad. Play in the fountains. No, they brought buckets and squirt guns. So now I get to referee that while the grandma that brought them reads in a chair.

I just did school supply shopping via the internet. I'm saving $30 by not buying the pre-made boxes of supplies. And by reusing what didn't get used last year, like folders and spiral notebooks.

Oh Lordy. I watched the first episode of My So-Called Life for the first time since I was a teen (I think wedding mentioned watching this recently). Lolz. It's like watching The Little Mermaid as an adult and thinking "Sit down, child" every time Angela has one of her like, super deep insights. I found myself being sympathetic to the wench mom. And lol for dayz at dying your hair red being a major rebellion. Kids in elementary school have rainbow hair now.

Speaking of hair, M wants us to let her shave her head bald. She wants to be El (Stranger Things) for Halloween. I told her that's committing to the theme a bit much and it would take years to grow back. She doesn't care. I told her we'd revisit this when she's 13 or 14 and if she's still really serious about it we'd discuss it.

I was allowed to do it when I was 14. By that time I had braces and glasses and felt that adding earrings would make me look like a hardware store, so I never got my ears pierced. Long story short? My mom got her way 😂. ETA she did dye my hair black, purple, hot pink, red & some other coulours 😂.

Also hi! Long day today, I picked some wild flowers for the annual flower wreaths (this is not as picturesque as it sounds, picture me with my cargo bike filled with kids stealing flowers along side a high way 😂). Lots of laundry and end of year tired kids.

I decided to do that this year. I bought ordered the pre made boxes the last two years, but this year I’m just going to use some stuff we got back and add whatever he needs to save money.

Hi! Just saw the tag from wedding from yesterday. The past two weeks have been nuts and not slowing down anytime soon. Besides kids activities and co-chairing our town festival, I’m trying to wrap up details for our remodel. Construction is about 4-5 months out which means if I want to start in the fall, I need to make decisions now. Met with the contractor today and he’s coming over again tomorrow. Then we leave Sunday for Denver with the kids. (Trip with dhs company) Hoping July will slow down and bit and be back to normal.

I re-watched 90210 a few years back and loved it for the cheesy/dramatic mess it was. Then I watched Party of Five and hated just about everyone on the show but remember liking them when I first watched. Because of that, I didn't want to ruin my fond memories of My So Called Life. I still think about young Jared Leto. I can't lose that!!

wedding, lolz. Stay away from My So-Called Life then! Jordan Catalano is a douche right in the second episode. I remember he seemed so, like, deep and stuff. Nope. Moron who would make me cringe if one of my daughters brought him home.

The kids can entertain themselves longer with a couple of cups or buckets.
