I've been slowly feeling better and better so I'm hopeful my stomach issues are coming to an end 🤞
This morning I poured Cheerios and milk for N. She took a bite and said the Cheerios tasted bad, so I told her I'd eat them. I took a big bite and yeah I've never tasted milk that was so disgustingly off before 🤢🤢🤢. And it was a brand new carton.
It's still smoky here and it's been raining on and off, which is nice. I'm expecting a call to pick up a new pair of glasses today and that's all I've got planned.

I have been knocking things off my to-do list like a madwoman this morning.

We just got back from taking a tour of J's new school, since he was virtual all year but will be going in-person this fall. It is almost brand new and so beautiful, I was very impressed. What a long way school artchitecture/design has come since I was in elementary school!
I need to go pickup a home depot order so I can do some very minor gardening outside and clean the grout in my shower. I am having an internal debate of whether or not to go to the pool for a couple hours first, before it starts storming.
Also trying to figure out where to board my dogs next month when we visit my parents. I have guilt leaving them - the puppy has never been away from us for any length of time and the older one is, well, old, so I worry about being away from her if something were to happen. But I cannot drive 9 hours with 2 kids and 2 dogs by myself, nor do I want to. So. I need to make a decision between a kennel and a rover person who boards at their house.

I need to clear my calendar for the upcoming olympics! DS1 is at soccer camp this week and I feel like he is really blossoming this year. I look forward to seeing his hard work pay off for him when the fall season starts. He’s not the most naturally athletic (which is beside the point IMO), but he’s been giving a great effort at training camp this summer & really enjoying it. 🤗

^FTR I think the olympics should’ve been cancelled because of the number of unvaccinated athletes and the COVID disaster that it will be. But if they’re happening, I will be watching! I waited 5 years for this!

Hubby went out with my dad to the property yesterday and they marked out our driveway and clearing. My dad sent pics this morning. No plans today, but my bestie reminded me that strawberries are almost done so if I want to make jam this year I should probably get some lol

Halfway through the week! I am about to head to my two clients today. One is a puppy that doesn't love walking in this heat, so it's hard to work with him on much right now. A has Lacrosse this evening, so I'll be taking her.
S just got tested at the allergist today and he's basically allergic to nature (trees, majorly to all the grasses, cats and dogs, mold...) He can't take allergy pills b/c of side effects, so now he's got to get set up for allergy shots.

E and A went to MIL's today. I took R to Target and bought all her school supplies. Then we had lunch, spent over an hour at the library, got ice cream, then picked up E and A on the way home. It's like 70 and sunny right now and my favorite type of weather so I will be on the back porch for the rest of the day.

It's been (and will continue to be) like 90-95°F here for days and days 🥵🥵🥵

I just want to say for the record that I secretly hate going to the pool. But I pack the kids up every weekend and take them so that they will be able to swim and save themselves in water. Internally, this is me the whole time

Internally, this is me the whole time I also hate the pool. I was so glad it was MH that had the girls at his sister's house (with a pool) so I didn't have to be miserable every day when they asked to get in the pool

Internally, this is me the whole time There is a big difference between going to the pool before kids and with kids. I can only take so much of my 3 year old while she tries to climb/tackle/ chase her much taller siblings.

I am so excited for Dune. I forgot it was becoming a movie (or is it a series?). Have you read the books? I read the first one several months ago and I plan to read the rest when my dad brings them to me in August.

I read the first one several months ago and I plan to read the rest when my dad brings them to me in August. Read the first. I believe this will be part 1 of 2? At least that’s the rumor. Hopefully that does the book justice. The casting looks amazing as well.

My neighbor bought a wasp trap from Tractor Supply and posted a photo of it full of wasps. We have a wasp problem too, so I bought the same one.
They are just flying around the wasp trap laughing at me. Haven’t caught a single one.
It is catching gnats, though, and we have a TON of little frogs and lizards hanging out, eating at our new gnat restaurant.
