Just got a text from the girls' riding instructor. They are helping again today. She asked if they can stay the entire shift (so 2:30-7:30). The girls requested it before they left and were prepared with snacks and water. I'm so happy because it's mutually a big help. They were getting the summertime boredom blues and this gives them something constructive to do. Plus, I can get some work done.
They've been having major listening and sass issues with us recently and we've had some major talks about their behavior. I think this is a good thing for them and helps with earning rewards instead of expecting them.

We stopped at the new house last night. The framing is going quickly and there is already siding going up. H noticed our pantry is a little different than the 3 other houses we saw, which was good because our refrigerator doors would have hit the pantry pocket door, had he not brought it up.
When we were walking away, a neighbor started waving, so we went and had a beer with all our new neighbors. I dont know of I'm excited or scared to move to a neighborhood that does whiskey shots on Monday nights!
Evie got her class assignment today and her best friend from last year is in her class. Masks are also required, although we get to have back to school night and drop off school supplies and meet the teacher.

Our schools follow our county guidelines. Anyone on school transportation has to be masked. Once at school they are encouraged to wear it but don't have to. If they aren't and there is an exposure in their class our county board of health decides who quarantines. If they are masked and/or vaccinated they most likely won't have to quarantine. Our area has had very low numbers for a while. Most of our area is back to semi normal.

We get back to school night to mwhip but they are dividing it alphabetically and each half gets a half hour to limit the numbers in class rooms. I'll be manning the pto table moat of the night so A will have to help the kids.

lahdeedah I’d be mad too. Not so much at the change to not prorating, but the fact she treated you like a delinquent. I’d definitely have some words for the director.

We don’t start school for another month. I doubt we’ll have back to school night (it’s usually a few weeks into school) unless things drastically change since as of now, no visitors are allowed in school (I think that’s a statewide mandate). Bs school has back to school night in 2 weeks but no kids allowed and I have no one to watch the boys so I won’t be able to go.

Meet the teacher is Friday and back to school night is in September. lahdeedah that is not ok. They better not try to charge you late fees on that bs. I think they already did because the balance is for last week and this week and there is a $10 discrepancy. Hell to the no if they think I am paying that. tallb They do weekly pay, but it’s easier for us to pay monthly. MH pays at the beginning of the month for the month. It just so happened that the 10 day window fell at the change of the month. They told us they would prorate, so that’s why MH was waiting to find out what the credit was so he could pay for the month. He asked 3 times. To treat us like it was on us is not ok. And it’s not like the girl that talked to me didn’t know. MH asked her specifically both mornings at drop off. As annoying as it is, I am understanding at the paying for time not there. They have to be able to pay teachers- not that they said that. Ok. But her delivery and how it is being handled is the part that pisses me off. I don’t want them to get anymore of my money after how this played out. I’m already not impressed at all with this school- so this just pushes me to look elsewhere.

Two things going on:
1. Waiting to hear what the school board decided. If they don’t require masks I’m going to be pissed.
2. My professor doesn’t have power so he can’t do a live zoom so he used a previously recorded lecture. The week I planned to watch live and ask questions. So now I’m trying to figure out something that I’m not sure how to do it 100% for the timed test.
Pray for me on both counts.

[mention]klongoria11 [/mention] I couldn’t put to words how I felt when I read that comparison. It’s not the first time I’ve heard it either. It enrages me to a point where I don’t want to talk. They need to be re-educated and backhanded at the same time. I’m not going to say all the words I’m thinking right now.

I drove home from the beach for soccer and then it started thundering and lightning 3 minutes into practice. DS1 has his yearly checkup in the morning though so I needed to be back. T found an Apple Watch in the ocean this morning and his friend found a dead crab. It was the best day of their lives. They turned the watch into the lifeguards and then carried the crab all over to show it to every other kid at the beach so they “could make more friends”.
I’m also so over the covid stupid people. We are definitely back in masks for school but I’m still hating that DD has to go to middle school with over 1,000 kids and is not old enough to be vaccinated. I really hope they require teachers to be vaccinated and they drop the age for kids soon. I’m also hoping C will be able to manage preschool all day in a mask because that boy need the structure of school in his life.

Finished my test. 5 minutes later we lost Internet and now we are experiencing a brown out. So no Internet and no air conditioning, now I’m miserable.
[mention]wedding [/mention] I passed my test.

We went from a brown out to full on blackout for about 3 hours. So I didn’t use my phone just in case. Luckily E had fallen asleep so she didn’t notice her white noise machine off.

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 accident 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 blond...she looks like an adorable little Groucho Marx. I need to get her a pencil that matches her eyebrow tone. 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 I also have black eyebrows and brown hair.
