Hi! I read late last night. Hope you're niece is okay, lahdeedah! I hurricane prepped by Instacart-ing from two separate grocery stores while shopping at another. We have enough snacks to last us until 2024. The lines were insane. The kids swam and played outside yesterday while my and I cleared off the deck of furniture and plants. The predictions for ct weather don't seem awful but the predictions for losing power and the restoration times are terrrfying (50% of the state for 8-10 days and that was a conservative estimation). Fingers crossed for the rest of you east coasters! I hope you don’t lose power!

lahdeedah, I hope it stays mild and it doesn't spread through her family! chrisy01, congratulations! This! My sisters family is living the Covid hell right now. It started with my sister and one by one has taken down her H, then her son, then 2 of the girls. My 1 niece is the only one still holding strong. My BIL is the only one that had gotten hit real hard. The others just had fever for 2 days or so, and mild symptoms. BIL has had fever for a week now and doesn’t seem to be improving.

Morning! Like guster we have tons of snacks and are settling in for a bit. The worst of the storm is supposed to miss us but it’s still gonna rain all day. We just started our first movie of the day (paw patrol). After lunch we’ll watch spiderman. With some Legos, puzzles and Beyblades mixed in.

From Friday, we are now on our third showing of the Paw Patrol movie. After the first viewing, Josie gave up and half watched half played. I'm now quoting and poorly mimicking Mayor Humdinger on the regular.

I don't know what to do with myself so I just keep looking in the fridge to see what might go bad and what I can turn into a room temperature food for later. So far I've made a pizza, zucchini muffins and bread, and I'm moving on to an eggplant parm.

I guess I worded it wrong. I mean I dont know what to do with myself other than cook. I'm not really good at resting (unless it's night time then I'm a champ at bingeing Netflix), and days like this really highlight it for me.

He hasn’t watched the show in probably 3 years but he keeps telling out ‘that’s so cool!’ B will watch for a few and the color for a bit then pop back to watching.

lahdeedah hope your niece recovers quickly. How frustrating for her to get sick already week 1. How is your back pain? It went away the day after I asked about it. So weird. It had been hurting for 3 days. Maybe it was all the water I drank but I have no clue. Thanks for asking.

I'm having a rough morning. I've been planning to weedeat, mow, mulch flower beds and pressure wash my house today. I wanted to do it all myself and have the time alone after A was gone from 6am-2am yesterday. The lawn mower we bought this year, I hate the thing. It takes all the joy out of mowing for me. But it's fixed so I have no excuse to use my parents and after 45 minutes I was crying in frustration and now A is mowing.. so no alone time for me. And A kept asking me what was wrong and if I was mad at him and I snapped at him so now I feel bad about that. But damn. Just let me be frustrated and mow the damn yard since I can't.

Sorry you are having a rough morning. peachsmamalfig Hope your BIL turns a corner soon and the rest of the fam recovers quickly. nam2013 I still need to find a pair of white shoes for M to color. He’s been asking on and off for about a year. I just can’t find a pair of decently priced white shoes. I have a hard time paying $30-40 for a pair of shoes for him to color. Sorry about the illness but hopefully that’s the end of it for a while.

@lahdeehdah these were €7 😂. I saw some fake white Chucks on Amazon, but these are just very generic gym/dance shoes. I bet Walmart would have them too 🙂.

Still just lots of rain here. Our neighbor down the shore sent a picture of our lifeguard saving a kayaker. Who the hell kayaks during a tropical storm? I cleaned a bathroom, vacuumed, then ran on the treadmill because I had no excuse not to. C’s belly seems to have cleared up so fx he’s good now. Tomorrow starts my training for my new job. I hope I have internet access for it.

peachsmama I’m sorry for the rough morning. Maybe call it quits and go get yourself some coffee and just sit with a book. Or even better send A out to get you brunch, that way you can be alone now and have brunch later .

Be safe east coasters!
Took Cadence to the park and invited a friend. Friend faded fast and didn't appreciate Cadence telling her she was playing imaginary horses wrong. 😬 So we're back home. I need to do laundry and Cadence needs to clean her playroom.
While at the park mh called to say he woke up with brain fog, so he went and got otc covid tests and tested negative. I told him if it continues to test again in a day or two. He went to an outdoor concert Friday night, so, it is a possibility. He showed me pictures and there we so many freaking people. He said he wore a mask and kept distance, but idk about all that.
Oh and coworker got an email from her daughter's school and someone in her class tested positive. So she'll be out all week while her daughter quarantines. 😐 She seriously must have the worst luck with covid contact, I swear. Every week it's something with her, I swear. And her ex refuses to help even though they are his kids too!
