I woke up with a burst blood vessel in my left eye. It looks gross, but doesn't hurt. This used to happen to my mom all the time, she always said it was stress related. I didn't think I was as stressed as I had been. So I'm hoping to avoid people today.

Evie's first day yesterday was good! But kid was TIRED. Today she has school, swim, then we need to drop my Jeep off at the dealership to be serviced tomorrow. The dealership is like 40 minutes from our house, so she's going to have a long day today. We have no plans this weekend, so hopefully she can get caught up on sleep then.
I'm also annoyed. I still haven't heard from the nurse or counselor regarding the email I sent Monday. Evie's teacher confirmed the PE teacher email was also in his spam, so it sounds like my email went to everyone's spam folder. But I had asked her teacher to check with the others to make sure they saw it, which I guess she didn't. Which I get, first day, new school, things are crazy. But the nurse called H yesterday and sent him an email, regarding the zofran I sent to the school, saying she needed a drs note. Um, that was in the email Monday. So if they didn't get that, do they have her 504 plan? Because her teacher still hasn't confirmed that. And one of my friends said she thought teachers had to acknowledge the plan within 24 hours. It's only the 2nd day of school, so I'm trying to keep my shit together. But if I don't hear from the counselor and nurse today, I'm contacting the principal.

Waiting at the bus stop. Our pick up time is 8:45. She got here at 9:02 yesterday. Hoping she's earlier today, I have paperwork to do and then mj gets her cast off. We also had trouble with m getting off. He was an hour late getting home. Theres road construction going on around us and it delayed 2 of the busses from high school on.

nam2013 hope everyone starts feeling better today. mwhip I have done that to my eye twice. The first time was from drunk vomiting in college. I was substitute teaching (while my eye looked like that, not while drunk) so everyday I had multiple children telling me my eye was bleeding. The second time I just woke up like that the day we were leaving for vacation. At least that time we were mostly outdoors so I just kept sunglasses on.

The school board meeting went okay last night. I really like our superintendent and he started out by saying we will not be debating masks, we will be wearing them and he will not be discussing it any more.
The hockey team one age group up from DS1 has 5 cases right now. I’m not pleased because those kids are 15-18 years old. I get there are break through cases but I doubt 5 kids on the same team would have had breakthrough cases so I’m guessing most of them were not vaxed.

My kid woke up CRANKY!
My coworker is working from home AGAIN. This is getting beyond annoying.
Today is my early day and I get to leave at 2. I'll be picking Cadence and her friend up from school and taking them to dance and then her friend's mom will bring her home afterwards. Cadence is nervous about being in someone else's car. I've never allowed it before.

Morning. So much throwing up last night… I put ds in the shower this morning to wash him up and he threw up immediately after… the image of that intensely skinny boy hunched over a bucket. hurts my heart. He is hardly ever really sick, has energy for ten and is developing great, so I know he’s healthy enough, but he’s just skin and bones… baby girl is her happy little self. I’m still not feeling great myself, but which mom has time to be sick 🤷🏼♀️. I’m just crossing everything that dd1 & dh get spared.

Morning! I am off today and trying to catch up on things around the house. I also need to try to puppy proof the house because we are bringing our new pup home on Sunday.

I left a voice mail with the nurse earlier and she already called me back. So she has the email and form now and said she would start checking her spam folder. And she would make sure the counselor gets the email. She said I should hear from the counselor by the end of the day, so I feel better about things.

Remember how about a month or so ago someone made an anonymous donation for Sierra to get an adaptive tricycle? Well last night the mystery was solved. MH went to GA to pick up something a friend was working on for him. They had some other friends over for a bbq. But the surprise was on us. They got me and S on n FaceTime and had MH there and told us they were the ones behind it. They sold raffle tickets and raised the money. She’s getting the trike which $2k+, then they gave MH an envelope with the remaining cash in it which was almost $5k 😳. So we are putting that in an account to go towards training for a service dog for S. We plan to breed Java and keep a pup from that liter for her. We were shocked and speechless.

lfig, so cute!!! We are one week in with the puppy and I am exhausted. She doesn't even wake in the middle of the night either. It's just a lot of physical and mental energy. klong11, the people you work with are the worst! kim22, any meeting that starts out like that works for me! One of my coworkers said she wouldn't vaccinate her children. She says it's their body and their choice. SMH! If your body lives in my house and its under 18, its my choice! So dumb!

lfig, gah! Puppy cuteness! That was so sweet of those people. klong11 they suck. I kind of want to to randomly stop showing up and just say your working from home. nam2013 aw, poor boy. I hope he's better soon. mwhip glad it seems like the school is getting it together. kim22 best way to start a meeting. I love your superintendent too.

My energy is low today. I'm living for the Qdoba salad I plan to get at lunch.
The girls put in 5 hours each the past two days assisting with the horseback riding lessons and loved every minute of it. MH has been thinking of getting a horse and I'm saying neigh. Which should be the opposite because I'm always the one who wants more animals. I said we at least need to wait until my student loans are done and he is working because boarding would be $$$. I don't think my neighbors would appreciate having a horse in our small backyard.

Hello ladies.
Is it Friday yet?
I just booked us a Bahamas vacation for next year fall break. I guess I should do our passport applications before the end of the year. We’re slow now and I’m hoping I get flexed out. I could use some extra hours at home today.
