After evie took her shot last night, we went outside to do a few fireworks. Two neighbors ended up coming over and hung out until 1045. It was fun, but I didn't really plan on being up that late.
Today is cleaning, laundry, food prep day. My mom invited us out on the boat, but I dont know that we will have time.
One of our soon to be new neighbors in the new house, invited us over this afternoon for driveway beers, so we might do that. Our builder agreed to finish our basement 75% of the way (paint and carpet will be done later) with no additional up front money, so we agreed to that.
Some other neighbors are doing their big fireworks show tonight, so we will likely sit outside and watch their stuff and have drinks.

Cadence just got up. My brain however has been up since 7:30 because why would it want to sleep in a nice and quiet house?
She has already yelled at me for helping her blow her nose wrong...

Hi ladies! I don't have any plans. Just so glad it's a long weekend. Work has been relentless.
We need to figure out what places are doing fireworks tonight and what would be a good viewing spot.

Morning.
We all slept in late this morning. The boys were up late and I stayed up way too late watching Zoo. It was on at my hair appointment and I was in to it, so I made a mental note to start it when I was back home. Didn’t think about it until last night. It must be newer on Netflix because I don’t remember seeing it in my browsing in the past. Any of you seen it?
No real plans this weekend. I need to look for a place to watch fireworks and we may go to the city one day to do something fun, but other than that, just hanging around the house.

Not on Facebook, but always curious ! The teacher already got back to me, so we can make some play date after our vacation. Number were steadily going down for weeks, but apparently our government though it was time to give people back their freedom and ditch the masks (except in schools and public transport) and open up everything… numbers have doubled in one week. I get that opening things up will probably result in increasing numbers, I’d just rather not have it one week before my sister is supposed to come over after a year and a half. Norway is very very strict (like for now all children above one are banned from entering, period.) and I’m scared that they won’t allow her to come. Send sister reunion vibes this way please!

Today is cloudy and cool so instead of day drinking, I went for a run. My sister is on her way down for the next few days and then my friend who moved to Florida is coming Tuesday. She had a baby last summer I never met and she has her stepdaughter I also never met so I’m looking forward to that. I head home Wednesday to get ready for the wedding I’m in next weekend.

Lol! Hey everyone! MH vague posted...lol! So yesterday I got a phone call from a lady with a company that sells adaptive equipment for kids with special needs. Someone has apparently made an anonymous donation for Sierra to get an adaptive tricycle. The price range for these is about $1500-$7000. The lady that I spoke to said her only instructions were to tell me "don't be frugal". She said she went over the price range and they did not bat an eye. So now I am trying to decide which one will benefit her most.

I have been sooooo incredibly busy so it's been hard to find time to keep up! I don't know if I ever told you guys that we bought a camper and have it on a yearly campsite at the lake, so we don't have to haul it back and forth. And then we rented a yearly boat slip so we don't have to haul that either. So now, when we go to the lake we just hop in the car and go! It is great! But this last weekend Sierra fell out from the screen door to the ground and face planted. He poor little body folded up in crazy ways. I think I might have cried more than she did. So now we need to find a way to secure it better. She just has no spatial awareness and no understanding of danger. She was fine other than a bruised cheek and eye, and some scrapes. There was a nurse camped with us so she checked her out real good and gave us peace of mind.
My parents are driving 3 hours to come to my house tonight just so they can babysit for me tomorrow and then driving 3 hours back home. They are the best! I hate that I don't have a back up babysitter for in a pinch like this!
Today at work we have been dealing with assholes who think it is funny to set fireworks off in the vault/pit toilets at our backcountry campgrounds. You can only imagine the mess it makes. All I have to say, is our maintenance men need a raise this weekend for cleaning that up!! And I am glad that I don't have to!!

jewels When we do the cleanse, does she need to be on a clear liquid diet? That’s what we’re supposed to do with the miralax cleanse, so I didn’t know if I needed to do the same with this Calm one.

lfig that is awesome! Do you have any idea of who it might be? We suspect a group of MH’s clients, who have become good friends of ours. We think they may have gotten together to do this. But don’t know for sure. As we think back to some text messages that were exchanged, at the time seemed like nothing, but now we are connecting the dots.
