I dropped my Jeep off at the dealership closer to my work, then walked back to the office. It was 1.27 miles, temp is only 77, but the humidity is 77%, so by the time I got to the office, I was kind of gross. I have a fan blowing under my desk, directly up at me. I have a call in 15 minutes, so I plan on sitting her and chilling out during it, since I never talk.
I got the sweetest email from Evie's teacher last night. She said she was glad to have Evie in her class and can tell she's going to be a hard worker all year. It made me so proud of her!
Other than that, just waiting to hear the verdict on what is wrong with the jeep and work today.

Hello! I'm taking the boys to BILs and L to a tour of her new school. Other than that not much going on today. Kids go to their dads tonight for their long 5 day stretch.

I’m at the office supervising a furniture install. Should be a slow day otherwise. I might dip out early for a pedicure. We have a puppy social tonight and I can’t wait. I also emailed dh to see if he wants to do the puppy jumpstart class I did that goes over potty training and nipping. She had one accident yesterday the whole day but in the half hour that I was up and dh was supervising this morning she had two and I hear him loudly saying “we don’t owe in the house!” That’s not helpful so I think He need to go to training!
It’s drying out today but it’s going to be hot and humid all week. I can’t wait until cooler weather so I can actually play with the dog more outside. Her Bernese Mtn Dog half makes her pretty heat intolerant.

Morning - kids are home this whole week and j and N are working on some Discovery project that they have made up...they can do whatever they want if they keep busy.
We just got J's class assignment and he has the one girl we know well, so that's a relief. I don't know many other parents since we were virtual last year.
I did a Costco run last night and I asked when they will get their gf cheese pizza back and they said it's been deleted from the system. I am so sad, that was our weekly Friday dinner😭

I'm at the office. I need to do some research on goodwill/salvation army/habitat for humanity around my parents' house to see who will do pick ups for donations and when they will do them.

Hi ladies. We've had a nice trip to OR. Took the girls swimming and shopping yesterday. Visited my grandma. We head home today and the girls are bummed about it. They haven't been able to see my mom all summer.

My sister is still "figuring out" and "asking the school district questions" to try to decide what she's going to do with her kids with school (aka see if she can get her special snowflakes out of mask and quarantine mandates). She's so anti-mask she's considering having her son who should be starting his junior year of HS drop out and get his GED and take community college classes. 😒😒😒 Bang up parenting job. She'd be 2/2 of kids not graduating. This kid needs someone over his shoulder harping him to do every assignment and turn in his homework so college would be the perfect environment for him. 🤨
She has custody of my niece's daughter now and I told my mom once vaccines become available for little ones she should not say a word to my sister and take her to get vaxxed.

Morning.
It was supposed to be my day off, but yesterday they asked me to come in, so I’m here. It’s steady. Hoping to leave a few min early so I can drop off the paperwork at the new school for M2. M has his first drum lesson tonight so that’s exciting.

It is so ironic that people here are considering homeschooling bc of LACK of protocols. What twilight zone are we living in?!

tallb isn't it something? The government is taking away my right to give my kids full exposure to a potentially deadly virus! I'm so persecuted against! I didn't see her this trip and I only have contact with her a couple times a year, because *gestures* It's especially irritating that academically speaking, my sister is smart. She has no reason to act this stupid. She doesn't use the brains she was given.

I just found out my dad's house is up for sale. I shouldn't care, but I felt some type of way when I looked it up and they still have some of his furniture and his freaking curtains! Idk, I shouldn't care. Anyway, the escrow agent on it called me to ask some questions. Uh, not my house, I have no answers.

Woah 😳😳 You always have some interesting family stories. Our district just made a mask mandate for school and there are so many people pissed saying they're unenrolling their kid. What!?!?

Morning! We thinned the bookshelves this morning, cleaned the pool, and I'm making a grocery list. Kids are watching paw patrol again so mh and I have about 90 minutes of quiet.

Anyone tried any version of period panties? Ever since j's birth, Tampons just don't fit like they should. I've tried different brands and cups and everything hurts or leaks. I saw a tik tok review of these and decided to try them. Of course I'm currently on my period so won't get to try until next month.

But ever since I’m on the mini pil (not sure if you call it that to over there) my period had been missing. I’m not sad about it.

Also hi! Today dds first day of school! She was so happy and had a great time . It was also the first morning baby girl and I had together in weeks and of courtage today she decided more time with mummy was better than sleep. I wanted to prep for the interview, so I had to do that with my little chickadee distracting me 😂. The interview was short, but I think I did okay. I’ll hear if I have a second interview tomorrow afternoon. This girl grew about 7inch in a year 😳. Yellow cardigan is last year .

MH got to go on his helicopter ride today with one of his pilots. They fly him up for like 30 min to show the performance guys what it’s like for them when they are in the air. Pretty cool and I’m a little jealous. They get a better feel for what exercises and conditioning may help them to perform in their training.

tallb I’m with you. Our town is quite upset that remote learning isn’t an option through the school. We do have a State wide online learning available but obviously it won’t be the same. I don’t want the distance learning since I think it made it so hard for everyone but I am a bit concerned about everyone being in school and that the States guidelines right now for quarantine are minuscule. We do have a mask mandate and our school has 93% of their staff fully vaccinated.

I’m getting a mani pedi. It would be relaxing but it’s kind of hot and I can’t seem to cool down with the mask on. Oh well. At least I’m not at work or dealing with puppy antics!

I scheduled some movers that were cheaper than the Pods and they'll deliver it when we need them to and load/unload. Score! I also found out the the College Hunks will pick up my parents stuff, donate what they can, recycle the mattresses and give my parents a tax receipt. It will cost us about $700, but it's better than having to fly back out there later this month.
Now I need to cancel my flight back and rebook it for a later date. My sister will be leaving with my parents on the 7th, if all goes according to plan.

Yes, we found a place and it's only 15 minutes from my sister's house.
