It's so beautiful here. Every day should be 78 and sunny. With only 40% humidity. That sounds like a lot but let me tell you how heavenly this weather is after the interminable July we had.

Where is the best place to shop for tween dress clothes? DS is 8, though he is the size of a 12 year old, and we need dressy clothes for SILs wedding next month. Not too formal, as it will be outside in the mountains, but I am having a hard time finding anything I like that isn't too expensive, and I don't want to buy off of Amazon. It doesn't help that I don't really want to take him into a store right now to get him sized, so a good return policy would be nice. ON khakis and a dress shirt like a polo or button up?

We went down to the harbor for lunch and I had fish tacos and a beer. Then we got ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s. DS slept the whole time in the bassinet in the stroller. The weather is perfect and we just sat and watched the boats. It was soooooo nice.

pobre how is your DS today? He has a pretty good staph infection but otherwise fine. We got abx this morning. We had a family emergency last night though and that has us all down. Oh no. I’m sorry stuff keeps piling up for you guys.

Omg I have been trying to watch tv but having to get up every few minutes and stick my ear against appliances, walls, check the faucets, I even opened the oven.. I could swear I heard some sort of crackling oil or water type noise. I finally found it… a stuffy fell over on the kids white noise machine and touch activated a setting, and it was a sound we never use 🤣 fuck that was making me feel crazy!

microworm, if you are going rafting on the Truckee River, the restaurant patio where you can stop and get drinks is where H and I honeymooned right after our wedding. Have fun! Yes! Def doing that. Update. We had a great time but I got flipped out of the raft at the Rapids at the end and pretty much did a back flip into the shallow rocky water but miraculously only scraped my thumb. I watched my family float away with ds1 laughing his ass off (he said later it was top 2 funny things he's seen in his life) and ds2 terrified for me (he said he didnt know if he would see me again). I made it back ok and we were about to get rum runners at the restaurant at the end but realized we left our wallets in the car. Womp womp. 10/10 still would do again.

I am going to need used car prices to level and go back to normal please and thank you I bought a car two weeks ago, I happened to stumble upon the model I was looking for at a reasonable price. It’s a 2020 and dealers here are selling the 2020s at above MSRP even with miles on them, it’s insane!

Beginning of Covid the exact car I wanted was 21,000 but I didn’t need it then plus nervous about Covid and my job. Now those cars are going for 26,000+

Beginning of Covid the exact car I wanted was 21,000 but I didn’t need it then plus nervous about Covid and my job. Now those cars are going for 26,000+ On the plus side, my leased car was worth about 4K more than what I owed on it, so I got a good deal there! I wanted a specific model and a specific year, so I just kept checking cargurus.com every day. Eventually I found what I was looking for at a CarMax in Ohio, and it was only $250 to have it shipped to me in GA. The car would’ve easily been 7k more if I had found it at a dealership here so I really lucked out. Just be persistent and know that it’s not always unreasonable to have it shipped to you.

Tlex that reminds me of my trip to Seattle in May with my sister. Our flight home was at night, so we found a place that would store our bags for the day for a small fee. Turned out to be a basement level smoke shop that was just weird. There was a strange beeping noise right in the doorway, but we decided to go down there anyway. I hand my suitcase to the shop owner and he asks me what that noise was. I was like “uhhh…you’re store? I don’t know where it’s coming from.” And he’s like “I know that, but what’s the other noise?” He’s getting a little panicked. And I’m just weirded out. Eventually it dawned on me that my white nose machine turned on inside my suitcase. Poor guy thought I was handing him a bomb.

I’m admittedly not the greatest driver and so far she’s taken curb hopping like a champ 🙌

My kids were so bad this morning I had to abandon my cart at Aldi. We made it down one aisle before I lost my shit. They just would not. stop. fighting. with each other. They were horrified. I did get a good job mom from a lady in the parking lot. They are usually pretty good, it was a normal morning before we went. It’s like they took obnoxious pills today. I took them to swim at my moms this afternoon and even she was like wtf is going on with them? SO ITS NOT JUST ME!? 😭

Omg I would lose it too. They usually straighten up if I threaten them with leaving. I don’t think they expected me to actually do it. Today was it. They discovered the top of my bullshit threshold.

I test drove the new Civic and love the interior and features of the Touring. It’s on my list but not sold on the sedan quite yet. I’m eyeing the hatchback and want to see it when it comes out. I’m also wanting a little sports car so I’m torn. Either way I need a car soon and need to figure my life out. Not the greatest time to be in the market for a car. The one we bought my husband two years ago with less than 1k miles is now going for $6k-ish more and in the 30k mile range and is the same year.

I only have one kid so trying to justify my need for an suv just because I want one with my niece and nephew is lessening the more I am seeing these civics.
I theoretically don't NEED one but mine is a 2010 so probably do plus my H wants to keep his newer one in the garage in the winter so that we keep that nice because it will go to dd so he wants to use mine as his winter car.
