That is horrific mwhip. I'm so sorry for their loss. I can't fathom their pain. If a gofundme or anything of the sort is started, please share it. There was one that has already closed because they met their goal quickly. It's very kind of you to offer! I dont know if there will be a new one if the child taken off life support passes. The gofundme was another weird thing...it wasn't started by family since they were so distraught, but a neighbor who was also a priest, started it, without contacting family, so the 10yr olds dad said it wasn't a legit GFM. They then found out who started it and why, and all the money was sent directly to the funeral home. I cant imagine having to bury my child. Let alone multiple..

I know...also while dealing with insurance because your house is destroyed and all your belongings are gone. Its just too much and not fair.

Oh that's devastating mwhip. I'm so sorry. The kids are on the second floor at our house too. We have these fire ladders, which are on sale now for $29. It helps give some peace of mind.

mwhip that is absolutely devastating, I’m so sorry for their loss. My kids are on the second floor also (ground floor living, 1st floor us & baby, third floor kids). We have fire alarms everywhere, but it’ll always be a worry. I liked it much better when we all slept on the same floor, knowing we could walk out on to the kitchen roof & climb in to the yard.

Morning. I’m at work. I told DH to bring V to me at my lunch break so I can nurse her because I am very full. I stopped pumping and then being gone last night resulted in a not good combo. The big girls start VBS tonight, MIL is taking them.

Morning from vacation! The weather is cooperating, we put up a kiddy pool in the yard of our bungalow & we’ll head to the pool when it’s less crowded. We did nothing all day, which is so not for me, but I need to learn to surrender to doing just that. BBQ in a a little bit.
We made plans to spruce up our house, the living room needs a fresh coat of pant and I’m redoing the accent wall in dd2’s room. I’m going full girl with a dusty pink 🥰.

Help. My keurig is brewing weak coffee all of a sudden. The other day I thought it was just because I tried the reusable pod, but ever since it makes horribly weak coffee. I’ve googled and tried to clean out the needle, but that did nothing. Anyone have suggestions?

I don’t drink coffee so I could be totally off but could it be the water tastes different in your new area?

I have feelings about drinking faucet water after watching brown and yellow water shoot from the faucets in the cafeteria at my elementary school. 😬

T and C are both ocean swimmers now! Low tide was early so we have been on the beach a few hours. DS has a few friends coming this afternoon. Tonight they are showing Home Alone on the beach. I’m hoping the weather and the children cooperate so I can watch it.

lahdeedah have you tried brewing just hot water to clean everything out? Yep. I did a descaling and that did nothing. Why didn’t I listen to my first mind and buy a new one on prime day?😩

Also, which model do you have? On some models there is a stronger brew option.

I got it back in 2017, I think. No strong brew option. It’s something with the puncture needle and how the water is flowing. One of the k cups I tried I shook it and there was still some dry coffee grounds in it. I also tried messing with the little rubber thing around the needle. That did nothing.

I worked yesterday and took E to Knotts for a few rides and lunch. Trying to get our moneys worth of the meal plan we bought.
I’m finishing up one assignment and then I’m done with homework for the week and I’ll start week 3 as well.
I haven’t even started laundry 🤦♀️

FWP/whine ahead. Just want to get it out of my thoughts.
One of the pilots MH met at work invited us over and it’s gloomy out and I don’t want to. They have some land, animals, and a pool and he thinks the kids will enjoy and I just don’t feel like being social today. 😩 We have to leave in about 40 min so I need to get myself together.
