 You know what to do (crawl back into bed and deny it’s a new work week) |

[mention]rugger [/mention] what Spanish subscription box do you use?
I want to go introduce more Spanish in outlet home so the kids are exposed to it more.
I found mama llama and hola amigo.

Also, coffee with 1% this morning. I had some egg cups with spring greens as well.
I’m not ready for this week and I just want to crawl back into bed. 2 weeks until my vacation. This is not coming fast enough.

Drip coffee with hazelnut creamer this morning. Barely got M to the bus stop on time. Wednesday M is getting her tooth pulled, so I took the day off. Hopefully it will go fine and I can clean the house and do some relaxing.

I had two cups of cold brew with coconut creamer.
I am deep into several overlapping excel projects and my brain is hurting.
The kids are with me today and all they seem to do is fight. Thank the gods I'm dropping the girls off with my parents this afternoon to spend a few days with them at their cabin in the woods.

Back to work after taking vacation last week. I still need to figure out my own routine in the mornings now that the bigs catch the school bus. I think I need to peel myself out of bed a tad earlier so I can start working while I pump and then wake all the kids to get them ready. They were in good moods this morning and got ready without a fuss at least so I'm thankful for that!

Columbia coffee with milk and sugar.
Back to normal this week after a weekend of fun with my family in town. We have 2.5 weeks until school starts so trying to enjoy these slow days with the girls until then. Today we’re just being lazy and doing laundry. I might empty out their dressers to get ready with school clothes. Horseback riding starts up for R tomorrow and gymnastics for E and A next week. I’m hoping to get them back into swim lessons in September too.

Aaaaaand the school just called that E needs to come home with fever, sore throat, headache, and runny nose. Cool cool. She overslept her alarm and was out the door in 10 minutes this morning so I didn’t even notice. Oops.

I forgot to make more cold brew decaf, so I had hot Hartley Paris decaf tea this morning. I drank it in my robe on the front porch while watching my kids play/fight. Sigh.
My sister is coming to stay in my house (for the first time in a year!) along with my “cousin” (my parents’ godson who I grew up very close with).
I haven’t had proper houseguests in ages so I’m sort of enjoying my to-do list of terrifying length.
T’s old nursery is turning into a second guest room. We brought the full bed down from storage in the attic.

Coffee with hazelnut creamer. I need more. My girlfriend brought over a bag of clothes for W that I need to organize (I just need to organize the clothing period, really) so I'm going to try to do that today. Unfortunately my stomach is trying to kill me with gas pains or ovary pains or something, so I'm working my way up to it. Oh! But I did put up shelves in my bathroom last night, and now our meds are off of the counter. Only took almost 3 years of living in this apartment for me to start getting some organization going lol Hope E feels better soon tj! |

She overslept her alarm and was out the door in 10 minutes this morning so I didn’t even notice. Oops. Ok so she never had a fever when she was home last night. But she obv feels poorly. She is sneezy and snotty and has a cough and says that her cough hurts her throat very badly. I kept her home today too even though she doesn’t have a fever Bc she doesn’t feel well and the cough is pretty gross. Pretty sure that would spread even with a mask ew. Poor kiddo. |

F had this as well. For the record we had her tested and she came back negative for flu and COVID. There are some nasty sinus colds going around. |

I redeemed the code and got $25 off. So a free phrase book. The kids are in Spanish classes 1/2 of the day. I’m hoping they can benefit from more use and F picks up on some before kindergarten. |

Per usual, we are life twins and R has something that we THINK is allergies (ragweed is really high right now and we have a family history of ragweed allergies)... No fever, but congested, post nasal drop that makes her cough, and she says her head hurts. I am grabbing an at-home test kit today for some peace of mind before we send her to soccer (in addition to school). I'm sure it's allergies. Or just a cold. But yeah, this is where the "do I send my kid or not" struggle comes in. |

That's awesome! I love the way they have you work through 2-5 phrases at a time and really nail those before moving on. And it starts with FOOD b/c who doesn't love to start in kitchen and say the phrase "I'm hungry" all day long LOL |

I snagged an at-home COVID test at Walgreens today, and tested her as soon as she got home. It's like a freaking pregnancy test (2 pink lines = Positive!) but like, way more intense on the instructions. And you have to wait 15 min. But it was Negative! So, off to soccer she went. Pro tip: don't trust Walgreen's online inventory. Just call and check with the store(s) before running around all over town. |

I had to read it a few times to make sure I was reading comprehensively. Im glad she was negative. FYI same for cvs. Ours keeps insisting they don’t carry them. But they do. I’ve seen them. |

Ours had them in the photo department and we had to ask because they were just opening boxes as needed.
