Watery Wednesday

[guster]

So much rain here!
Hope it's drier in your parts of the country!

[guster]

Good morning!
I hope everyone is feeling better, trtlcrzy!
lahdeedah, how affective will you be by the next storm?
I made lunches for tomorrow and I have to pick up my car at the dealership at 10. They've had it for about a month. I'm going to miss this rental! I probably will stop for coffee on the way home.
Charlie is doing three-quarter days until next week so I'll grab him at one and Josie at 3.

[tgrimes]

I'm at the office. Hopefully I can get out of here early because I have a crap load of stuff to do before I leave tomorrow.

[klong11]

I'm at work. Cadence and I were conspiring this morning to ditch all responsibilities, go to the movies, and get ice cream. We of course finished getting ready and went to school and work, but it was fun to dream.

[inthekitty]

klong11 you should make that happen in another month or two when you're both burned out.

[inthekitty]

SSDD.

I know you all really care, but my favorite video game is a 10 yo zombie game, Left 4 Dead. I have always played it on Xbox but finally downloaded it for my computer because people have made custom maps that you can only play on PC. There is a Disneyland map and it is do accurate and realistic it feels like I'm strolling through my favorite place as I take out a bunch of zombies. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

[klong11]

inthekitty, I need to tell mh about that game. He enjoyed it on xbox

Morning!

Wow, Sept. 1...happy to see fall a little closer on the horizon.

Currently on the phone with my pharmacy...or rather, on eternal hold with the pharmacy. I must've jinxed myself b/c I was just saying recently how smooth things have been

We had a crazy storm come thru this morning right as the kids were heading off to school. We needed the rain and the temp dropped (appreciated), but it made getting the kids out the door a bit nutty. My sister and I are meeting up for lunch before we get C and my nephew.

[lahdeedah]

I’ll have to check to see about the next storm. I didn’t know another was on the horizon. guster

klong11 Definitely take a mental health day at some point with your girl.

Hope all you east coasters stay safe with the storm rolling through your area.

Before summer we took the kids to the zoo on a whim because we all needed a break. It was so worth it. If the kids can mis months of school because Covid, they can for sure mis a day for mental health purposes;).

[lahdeedah]

I need to be productive today. I didn’t get much done yesterday since it rained all day. Going to the gym and I think I’ll pick M2 up early to take him to karate. I took him to the early class yesterday and there was only 5 kids in class. I like those numbers much better than 15. Today is another day they have an early time for his age group, so I need to make that happen.

[chrisy01]

E’s first day of school. I held it together until after we left.

[tgrimes]

chrisy01 OMG she's so freakin cute!

[peachsmama]

Shes adorable chrisy01

[chrisy01]

L told E to hang out by the fence at first recess. He’ll come by and say hi

Oh, I think I meant this one. I thought it was coming Thursday. I don't know anything.

[guster]

So cute, chrisy01. I hope she has a great day!!

[inthekitty]

Hope she has a great day chrisy01! M saw the pictures and commented about how cute she is and that she can't believe she's already starting preschool.

[inthekitty]

I wanted to go to the state fair on a weekday when it will be less crowded and avoid the indoor areas. They just announced that masks will be required outdoors too. Yes!

*insert Nelson haha gif*

I'm thrilled most of the dumbass antimaskers who'd be more likely to spread Rona will likely throw a tantrum and stay home.

[tgrimes]

The abortion law for Texas just went into effect today. Stupid supreme court.

It’s ridiculous, the six weeks, but also the ridiculous fine. So many women don’t even know they’re pregnant at that point… Anecdotal but with dd I didn’t test positive on a hpt until I was over 6 weeks (my mom had the same with me) it took a bloodtest to confirm I was indeed pregnant & an ultrasound a few weeks later to conclude I was almost 7 weeks along.

Cute chrisy01 ! (and I love your outfit--I'm always a sucker for navy/white stripes!)

mamabear Do you mind my asking your newest little's name?

I've been glued to my phone this morning and need to take a break. Our community is in the midst of planning a massive/expensive revamp of the amenities and as you can imagine it's like herding cats. The engineering firm held a meeting last night, and I'd say there were MAX 200 ppl there, out of 5000+ households. Today everyone is on social media griping about a myriad of stuff, but since 95% of these folks admit to not having attended the meeting nor reviewing the proposal, it's a super productive discussion (<--sarcasm).

I recently volunteered with a friend to join the "monuments committee", which is figuring out new signage. We figured it's typically mostly older ppl/retirees on these committees, so we need a younger demographic represented. I may be regretting this decision shortly, lol.

I was about to say the same, it feels a little vintage, which I love!

And E is beyond adorable, hope she had a good day!

It passed here yesterday. No flooding in my area so we’re good

The county where our state fair was is now out of school this whole week with no remote learning.

[klong11]

NEVER TALK ABOUT SKIPPING SCHOOL AND WORK TO DO FUN THINGS!!!

Just got home from picking up Cadence from school so we can start her close contact 10 day quarantine. 🤦

I know what you're thinking...why can't yh watch her since he's already working from home....right? Yeah, but then he would have to cancel his golf game tomorrow. 😐🤬

[lahdeedah]

flamingo At first I thought you were taking about your immediate neighborhood, but over 5000 households must mean the whole suburb. Godspeed with the signage.

[lahdeedah]

chrisy01 I can’t with how excited she looks. Super cute!

[nam2013]

@klongoria this. To all of that!
