Good morning ladies! It’s been crazy at work. I’m waiting for the furniture movers at work to move a large conference table so I can setup a site for something else. Busy days but I get to leave at 130 since I started at 5.

I’m also about to smack the security officer who keeps coming in and making comments. Not a fan of what’s she’s saying and I’m just trying to do my job.

Nothing exciting today. The girls will probably help out with horseback riding.

MJ woke up crying and proceeded to cry for 40 minutes. Nothing wrong, just grumpy. J has his 6 year check up and kindergarten vaccines so I called my mil to see if she would watch the grouch so the appointment wouldn't suck. She came over so j and I are here now. And he apparently got those vaccines last year 🤦♀️ so just a quick check up and we're headed home.

So covid carrier is back in the office. He looks and sounds like shit, but apparently tested negative yesterday. He is breathing hard just sitting. Old boss man asked him what it was like and he basically stated all the symptoms and how he was taking like 20 prescribed pills a day and couldn't get out of bed most days, etc.
Old Boss Man: and you were vaccinated right?
Covid: no.
OBM: oh. So are you all gung-ho telling people to go out and get vaccinated now?
Covid: weeeeeelll, no, because I just feel like idk. My wife's sister had a bad reaction to the vax and I mean, I know she had underlying conditions(cancer), but she just didn't respond well to it, so I'm just not so sure about it.
WTF?
I just can't.
Between that and some girl I went to highschool with, when I asked her her reasoning behind not getting vax'd, and not in a snarky way, I legit wanted to know, and she compared it to the holocaust....
I'm just...huh?
I don't get it. I just. don't. get it.

Morning. We are headed to the fair. It just opened a couple minutes ago so I’m hoping it’s not busy yet. I’m excited for all the fair food. We didn’t go last year and the year before I didn’t get to go because my ectopic surgery was that week. klong11 what an idiot. The Holocaust comparison really boils my blood. |

klong11 I would like those people to visit auswitz and then see if they still feel that way. At first I thought I’d like them to experience the holocaust, but I cannot wish that horror on anybody.

Morning. Breakfast with a friend this morning, it wasn’t really warm yet, so we sat on an empty terras, very COVID proof 😂. It felt okay. And it was nice to talk to her. Her and her h are in a rough spot and I’m not always sure what to say.
Wrote my application letter todayand we played games with the kids. Not much else today.

H has the kids tonight til Sunday night. Looking forward to some quiet and time to completely clear out and organize my laundry room, but I'm going to miss them so much. I might see if I can pick them up Friday after work for a few hours to help break it up.

Hi.
Not much happening here. M had a good day at school yesterday. He said he wasn’t the only one with a mask on and that his teacher didn’t have hers on. 😒 Guess she fooled me at open house. He’s at a school day out camp today and tomorrow. Those make me more nervous than school because it’s a lot of kids in groups. First full day is Thursday.

We’re on our way home. The rides don’t open for a couple hours so we’ll go back later this afternoon. It was pretty quiet, so that made me happy. The kids liked seeing all of the animals. They even had a vaccination booth by one of the entrances. I hope people take advantage of that.

I might see if I can pick them up Friday after work for a few hours to help break it up. That’s a long time. Is that how it will be every other week? My brother only sees his boys every other weekend but he has arranged a morning a week where he picks them up for breakfast. Maybe you could set up a regular thing so the kids don’t miss either of you too long. Just a thought. Lean into your time alone though! |

So I have 2 days, he has 2 and then the 5's. Honestly the schedule works well because I work part time and I have them on all my weekdays off. He saw the kids twice in my 5 day stretch and I'm sure I'll do the same! We met up at a park once and the second time he picked them up for a playdate at his house with a friend and his kids. Obviously I'd love more than 50/50 custody but he would have fought me on it and this is best for the kids. Sorry for the long response! |

wineallthetime, all things considered that sounds like a good schedule. As you adjust it'll get easier over time. When we finally get past Covid and when the kids are older and in different activities, it will probably work out really well to attend their different events and practices on your "off" nights.

A's cousin went through a divorce and for the 1st 6 months she would just sit at home when she didn't have her kids. She felt guilty doing anything without them. She finally realized that was a little ridiculous because it's not like she was ignoring her parenting duties or neglecting them. They were safe and cared for so why shouldn't she have fun?? |

My governor just announced state employees and healthcare workers must get vaxxed or face termination.  I'm sure all the morons are up in a huff about it. MH said someone he didn't know was an antivaxxer on FB was ranting about it and now considering moving. Buh-bye. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. ETA: Oh, and a giant FU to all the asswipes who compare this to the Holocast or slavery. I hope every time those fuckers take a step they experience the sensation of stepping on phantom Legos and chronically have that feeling like they are about to sneeze, but can't. |

Seeing David eyebrows reminded me...I have one eyebrow pencil. It is the only one I have every owned (I don't make-up). I used it when I accidently weed-whacked one of my eyebrows with the electric trimmer when I unfortunately discovered the little attachment has two sides and I accidently put it on the way-too-short side. Well, Cass is Ms. Razzle Dazzle and loves all things girly. She found the pencil and has been using it. I'm a brunette and she's a blonde...she looks like an adorable little Groucho Marx. I need to get her a pencil that matches her eyebrow tone.

M2’s daycare just pissed me off. We were told that he wouldn’t be charged for the days he was out. MH called end of last week to ask what he needed to pay on Monday because he pays monthly and they told him they still had to figure it out. He asked Monday morning and this morning and was told they were still working on it. I go to pick him up and when I go to do the fingerprint scanner, the lady at the front says that it won’t work for me because I have a balance.
Me: ok… MH has been asking about this everyday.
Her: well the owner decided she isn’t going to prorate those days and you have a balance of $xxx. If it isn’t paid by tomorrow morning, he can’t come back until it’s paid.
Me: ……………. We didn’t get a phone call to let us know. Who can talk to about this? Let me just get my kid.
I couldn’t gather my thoughts because I was just like- what is happening? It just rubbed me the wrong way.
As I’m driving home I’m like - who the hell do they think they are?? It’s one thing to go back and say nevermind, you have to pay, but to all of a sudden demand it and say you won’t take my child until it’s paid like I was neglectful on the payments?? No ma’am. Y’all got me f’ed up. Why should I take this from the people that’s supposed to be in charge of caring for my child? And 2nd- if you gonna charge me for him not being there- I need to see some safety measures so I know you are trying to keep it from happening again. The staff needs to be masked, parents entering need to be masked. They weren’t my first choice at all and just put my kid there because it seemed like the only option. I’ll be damned if I don’t call every school I can tomorrow to see if anyone has a spot for him.
The owner is supposed to be calling me tomorrow. I have words for her.

Lol make sure to get a few pictures for posterity. my grandma once asked me if I was darkening my black eyebrows...she's the only one in my entire family with black hair, so I got them from her! My hair is brown, but eyebrows are def darker |

Man lahdeedah they should have a policy in place so you know if you pay or not when they are excluded, they can't flip flop like that. I'd be pissed too and get on those other waitlists so you can leave asap. Fwiw, I've only been at places where you have to pay even when out sick (monthly). I'm already dreading our new place closing due to cases and being out a lot of money. Maybe you could look for a little prek pod of like-minded parents? Or a nanny share situation? That's my backup plan if this all goes to hell. And the lack of protocols is 🤯. I'm training K to wear a mask and she's not even 2 yet so she can start next month. At the daycares here, parents aren't allowed inside at all, masks for teachers and kids, and our new one is even requiring proof of vaxx for parents. |
