Weekend! Weeeeeekend!

[nam2013]

I’m not creative. Well not today anyway 😉. Hope you girls have a fabulous weekend!

[nam2013]

Will you believe that after months of trying to get dd2 down at night, she fell asleep on her own last night! It was a lovely quiet evening. She woke up three times during the night, but I’m counting my blessings. Pyjama morning/day over here. The city is crowded, so we’re staying far away from that & I’m not in the mood to go to the dunes or something. We need some bread and other little things to add to dinner tonight, that’s about it for today’s agenda.

[mwhip]

I grabbed groceries after work yesterday and started laundry already. Our city rec group is doing water wars today, which is just a water fight in each neighborhood. So we are doing that at 2.

My SIL invited us to go boating today. I sent her a text about the email we got last night and she said its fine. Shes a teacher at a school district that isn't requiring masks. So as long as nothing changes, we are going to go to the lake and swim this afternoon. Its hot here, so it will be nice. Plus, we haven't been on a boat all summer.

Cadence has her girlscouts bridging this morning at the school playground. I told her she could stay and play after and we would just walk home since mh will likely want to go home right after.

Grocery pick up tomorrow and that's it for this weekend.

[trtlcrzy]

Hey. I’m at work. Yesterday ended up being pretty busy. I ran a bunch of errands while the kids were at school, then we went over to the IL’s for supper because DH’s aunt and uncle are in town. Then home and right to bed. This afternoon we are supposed to have the neighborhood block party, but it’s also supposed to be a severe thunderstorm so we will see if that actually happens.

Morning - mh and j are at dicks bc it's the little league discount weekend. He got his new team assignment and the coach seems a bit intense.."we play to win", etc. And asked new parents to call him - I call literally no one, so that's a hard pass. We can meet you at practice, which is Friday nights at 5:30! I find this ridiculous..so now baseball will take up Friday and Saturday of the weekends.

I was considering taking N for a haircut and a visit to my mom before she goes out of town for a few weeks, but not feeling motivated. There's a concert at the golf course tonight, so we may try to go to that since it's normally on Fridays and we won't be able to go anymore due to baseball practice 😑.

[inthekitty]

I'm working a bit today and aside from that I think we're just going to be lazy around town.

[guster]

Just got home from ballet and a CVS trip. I'm cleaning the house while mh plays in the basement with the kids. They want to order pizza tonight and I'm not complaining.

I know there's a thread on the other birds but is anyone hearing watching Ted Lasso. I fall more and more in love with the show and my crush on Roy Kent is 7th grade girl level right now.

You’re lucky practice is only once a week. We had twice a week practice and usually one game but sometimes there were two.

Soccer starts soon and practice is at 4:20 on Thursdays. So I’ll have to leave work at 3:30 to get him there in time. It’s so frustrating!

We had a puppy social this morning and then brought C to my parents. He is off fishing with grandpa so Dh and I are free until 5 with a nice tired dog! I have my snack and I’m going to read and nap. 😊

Hello! I've been binge watching Grace and Frankie. So funny! My mom is coming over and we are going to get our favorite chicken wraps and sell shit in my house. Bye baby stuff, bittersweet but I want it gone.

[klong11]

chrisy01 which fitbit did you get L? Does he like it? He creamed me in the challenge this week.

The second season started at the end of July. I think there are 6 episodes out there.

I’ve been hearing a lot about that show and want to watch. I’ll probably wait until the second season of The Morning Show comes out so I can watch them all in a month. It is on Apple TV right?

I picked that show back up this week, too! I stopped just before season 5 years ago. I was looking for a light show to watch before bed and decided to make it my mindless before bed show.

Hi! Happy Saturday.

I worked this morning- well I should say today because just before we were about to leave, we got an add on patient and didn’t get out until 2pm. 😑 It really wasn’t bad though so I can’t complain.

Not much else on the agenda today. MH is about to take the kids to swim at the gym before it closes for the season. I’m looking forward to a couple hours at the house by myself. I started The Stranger yesterday and was sucked in. About to finish the last few episodes.

Yep, it's on Apple TV. It's so feel good. It's right up there with Schitt's Creek for me.

When I got home from work H was complaining of a bad headache and she had a low fever so I decided to get her tested for Covid…and it came back positive. I’m now in the process of notifying anyone I can think of, ugh. She feels fine for the most part so I’m hoping it stays this way. The doctor said I can test the other 2 after 5 days or if they start showing symptoms. My boss said I can come to work (wear a mask and wash my hands frequently) as long as I don’t have any symptoms.

I hope she stays mild and everyone else stays healthy.

I understand that the current thinking is that vaccinated people don’t need to quarantine from exposure but it just makes no sense to me. I mean they’ve proven that you can still shed the virus right?

I know you are just doing what you are told, but I dunno , I think they should change that policy.

I agree with this, but I'm mostly hoping H's symptoms stay mild and the rest of you don't get it. Will her class have to quarantine?

Of course this trtlcrzy - I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad or anything. I was just thinking how so much of this makes no sense.

Oh no! I didn't mean to diminah what you were saying.
I shouldn't have put it all into one sentence.
I agree about the quarantine rules -- they make no sense with this variant as to who is protected. I just always feel like Im beating a dead horse with my uber conservative views on this and I feel like I talk about my fear over it so much that I was so I was trying to move it along.
Im sorry, jewels. Your comment didn't construe any insensitivity. Blame my lack of clarity, my frustration over this translation back to school, and apparently my inability to construct a sentence that is cohesive.

[jewels]

No apologies necessary @gustet

I reread my post and just didn’t want to seem insensitive to trtlcrzy at all. You and I are on the same page

[klong11]

I hope the other girls stay negative and Hs symptoms are mild and short lived trtlcrzy. Are you able to keep her separated at home?

I was worried I offended you. These times, man. They suck.

[guster]

So I guess while I'm still beating this dead horse I'll tell you I sent an email to our administration to ask about how morning drop off was going to work this year because they didn't go over it in their zoom. I read through the reopening plan and saw that the kindergarten and first graders will go to one playground and the second through fifth graders will go to another. So that somewhere between 50 and 100 kids anywhere from 8:05 to 8:30 hanging around outside without masks.
I wanted to see what the administration's thoughts were on that as they're keeping everybody cohort-ed throughout the day for lunch and recess.
I haven't heard back yet but just the thought of it makes me uncomfortable.

Iand then oddly enough, I also had about an hour of bliss after the kids had their meet the teacher zooms because it felt so normal just listening to them laugh and talk and having their teacher just share ideas on what they're going to do this year that I almost forgot that we are still dealing with Covid bc I got excited about how fun the year could be.

[trtlcrzy]

No worries guster and jewels. I also think the rules are dumb. Of course the reason I got her tested in the first place was because of my Covid anxiety and I thought I was being overly cautious. Now I keep imagining I have symptoms so I might try and get tested tomorrow. At work I stay far away from everyone, for the most part, wear a mask and sanitize my hands and desk frequently. I really am not worried about spreading it to anyone there. I did just buy a pulse ox on the target website for drive up, she’s not having any respiratory symptoms but I will feel better having it at my house just in case.

@klongoria I considered it for about 2 seconds and realized it wouldn’t work. The girls all share a room and right now the basement is a disaster so there really isn’t any place she can be separate from everyone. So I’m just going to hope for the best.

No, it doesn’t seem like the class will have to. She has worn her mask during class both school days, but takes it off for lunch and recess. from what I was reading on the website they are just going to send a letter to the people in her class notifying them there was a case in the room and to watch for symptoms. All Covid precautions have gone out the window here. It is going to spread through the school so fast. Makes me mad.
