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. 😐🤬 Got dammit. I’m sorry. Does she have remote learning? Eyeroll to YH.

I’m over the sub par grocery shopping here. Never stocked on what I need. Both Kroger and Publix. Good news is they are building a new Publix closer to me, so I’m holding out hope that store will be better. None of the current stores are as big as I’m used to and cannot keep up with the demand here. 🙄
Like why can’t I find my preferred thin style tortilla chips?? A girl needs them to eat her guac. 🤦🏽♀️ when I do find them, I’m buying all the bags.

So cute chrisy01, I hope she has a great first day! flamingo we just got out of our HOA board (H was president and I handled all the paperwork/letters). We have a small neighborhood, 95 houses, and it was a shitshow. When we had the meeting to discuss turning it over to a management company, ~30 people attended, so about 10 houses-ish? I sent out a letter to every house for votes, only half were returned. I included a self addressed, stamped envelope. But you can bet, the first people to complain, would be the ones who didn't attend/return letters. I told H we are never volunteering for HOA crap again.

lahdeedah they gave her some seesaw lessons to do, but there is no virtual options as far as class time goes.

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. Ha, yes we're a "master planned community". It was a relatively new concept when our neighborhood started in the early 90s but now it's very popular down here.

klong11 I'm sorry she has to quarantine! You're a better person than I am...I'd tell H to fuck his golf game! But hey, at least you're finding out now instead of 7 days after the fact.

I think right now there seem to be supply chain issues still, as a result of :all this:. Lately I cannot find any V8 products for H, for ex...every store, from Target to Publix, is completely empty of anything V8.

Neither is easy to find here. I did buy a brand a while back that I like a lot, but regular price they are more than I want to pay. I think it’s XO chill and they usually are like $5-6 a bag. Don’t go on sale often from what I’ve seen.

I just haven’t been there in a couple weeks- only to actual grocery stores.

Hi hi - dramatic day here. We were up at 3am with crazy storms and a window leaking in the basement. Schools closed early due to the storms and a tornado touched down near my parents. Mh interrupted a work call to make me call my mom, who was doing yoga and unaware that there was a warning 🤦. My best friends nextdoor neighbor lost their entire roof. They are SO lucky.

tallb it’s here now. It’s been pouring for a few hours and we have a slow leak coming down from out attic into the kids bathroom. We had a tornado watch about 1.5 hour ago but I think that’s passed. Streets are all massively flooded around me. Hopefully the worst is behind us but it’s supposed to rain all night so we shall see

C had a first half day at school but it was optional so the office start day is 9/8. He got to meet the teacher and his classmates and he was thrilled!
I went to the office today and worked 10 hrs since I am off Friday and Tuesday. I still have so much to do to feel ok with where things are at and I have so many meetings tomorrow. I’m dreading it because it’s crappy weather so no dog park for Miss Lola which means she will be insane! I’m equipped with raw hide to at least get through the morning until I have time to walk her.
I can’t wait for the weekend!

It's been a day. Mallory woke up at 2 am with a fever. We were up until 3. Then again from 5-7. I got up at 8 and quickly got thr boys ready. I let her sleep and just drive the boys to school when she woke up. We've had about a dozen poop diapers today.. her poor bottom is raw. Hoping it's a 24 hour thing and she's good by morning. It's a bug going around the schools here. Both kids I put on the bus had it and tested negative for strep and covid.

wedding yes, I'll work from home for the next 10 days. Which, I'm fine with because I need the break from the office peeps. Plus, I want to make sure Cadence isn't miserable while she's stuck here and that she gets her assignments done and actually understands them. If I just leave her with mh nothing will get done and she'll be bored out of her mind all day. She's already saying she loves and misses school.

Can I say I’m glad your lame coworkers get to cover for you and actually do in office stuff. I know you will technically still work, but take that smoky and crew.

peachsmama hope she’s feeling better! Ugh went down in the basement to check and there was 3-4” of rain down there. MH runs his business out of our basement so there is tons of shit down there. Spent the past hour hooking up the extra sump pump while wading in the water. I am not amused.

Well had to get my tire patched. A piece of metal got stuck in the tire. So 90 minutes of waiting. Luckily my dad bought the warranty so no cost.

Schools off to a great start. C started today and his antibiotic induced tummy trouble returned. DH convinced himself he has covid (he doesn’t), and DD and I have been stranded in the car due to flooding for over 2 hours. We are safe in a parking lot but not getting home anytime soon. School has been canceled for tomorrow.
