Morning. tgrimes Safe travels today. Woke up with a slight headache. I think I need to give myself a news break because this week has sucked. We’re going to ATL tomorrow for the weekend. I was contemplating cancelling, but we’re going to hope for the best and play it as safely as we can. Today will be packing and cleaning.

Hi! It's a gorgeous September day here after the storm. K has realized she wants me to play with her instead of just sittervising while I work, so this is fun🥴.
I'm pretty angry about SCOTUS so probably should get a workout in today.

I'm here. I got the boys on the bus and went to deposit payroll and run some errands. Got lunch, got J off the bus and ate lunch with my mom. Now I'm working while the kids play. Mallory brought her tricycle in the house and rides it everywhere lol. It occupies her a lot. She's also become obsessed with Tigger who hates her.. so I kiss a lot of barely there scratches from him batting at her when she tries to kiss him.
I'm due for my second covid shot today but it's J's birthday this weekend and I don't want to be sick for it. So I called the pharmacy and they said 4 weeks is fine but no longer so I'm going next Thursday.

Crazy busy day today, sorry! I was at work. And I feel like made some steps. I stood up for myself and put my cards on the table. I don’t have much to lose their, so I figured I might as well see if I can gain something.
They have a social outing in three weeks that gave me heart palpitations immediately (150 people inside, I’m just not comfortable). It’s mandatory if you work that day or you need to take the day off. I told my supervisor I wasn’t comfortable and that I could take the day of or to switch my workday that week. She was very happy I wanted to switch, so win win solution.
Dh cooked a nice dinner and the kids were very happy to see me, so all in all good day.

Helloooooo
Went and got my allergy shots, mh is out for golf all day. Cadence has done all of 1 assignment and I've had 2 opinions from work to read. Cadence helped me prep dinner, pot roast cooking in the slow cooker. She said cooking is her new hobby, so I let her do what she can.
We've also played a rousing game of Horton Hears a Who, which we got as a hand me down from my brother and has no instructions, so really we make it up as we go.

Hey. I wrote a post yesterday but apparently forgot to actually hit submit. I think H is over Covid. Yesterday she was complaining about her ear so dh took her to acute care (which is what the doctors office told me to do when I called at 3:30 and they didn’t have any openings) and they guilt tripped him for taking her. She didn’t end up with an ear infection but I feel like it’s better to be safe than sorry. I also had one of the wires pop out of my brackets so I had to make an emergency ortho appt. I left the kids in the van running for the 5 minutes I was inside. I felt that was better than exposing all of the orthodontist’s office. This morning I picked up some worksheets for S at the school and then picked up my target drive up order. It’s raining today so we are just hanging inside. I have to work tonight and I’m ready to get out of my house for a few hours alone. No one else is showing any symptoms so I think we might be in the clear 🤞🏻
I hope storm clean up isn’t too bad east coasters!

Took C to the doctor and she said his stomach hasn’t recovered from the antibiotics yet. He is on a non-dairy, mostly carb diet for 1-2 weeks. He keeps coming over and asking me things like “is peanut butter cups good for my belly?” So at least he understands. He’s so much better already. She wrote him a note that he can return to school but I will probably keep him home again tomorrow and then we have a 4 day weekend and hopefully he will be better by next week. We are waiting to hear if schools will open tomorrow. They said a few buildings were hit pretty hard but they didn’t say which ones and we can’t go remote unless the closure exceeds 3 days.

Or maybe there aren't quarantine rules if you are vaccinated. It is all so confusing- CDC vs State vs School vs After care. I can't keep it all straight!

Or maybe there aren't quarantine rules if you are vaccinated. It is all so confusing- CDC vs State vs School vs After care. I can't keep it all straight! CDC says fully vaccinated people don’t need to quarantine after exposures, just monitor for symptoms for 14 days. I wore a mask in and only pulled it down for her to do the work and then pulled it right back up after. She was wearing a mask. Plus I tested negative on Tuesday. I wasn’t worrying about me exposing her, I was worried about bringing the kids in since H is positive and exposing people.

We had a crazy loud and wet storm overnight but otherwise fared ok. Work was nuts again today and I am so happy to have tomorrow and Tuesday off. I just did my out of office voicemail and plan to sign off soon. I just need people to stop throwing work my way! I'm glad you all in NJ ended up ok. Sorry for the rough 24 hours! Good luck tgrimes! I hope everything goes smoothly for once!

I've just been super busy with work and around the house. The week has been moving quickly thankfully.
My mom finally seems to be improving thankfully. She broke a vertebrae (ouch!) and it apparently caused problems with her diaphragm. She was having serious problems eating and breathing (she lost 35 lbs in 2 months). After a lot of stupid doctor experiences she finally found some good doctors and is getting treatment that is helping.

Hello. H has been enjoying kindergarten. Although, his favorite part of the day is the bus. He’s going to be disappointed come tomorrow when they will apparently have their assigned seating on the bus, and he will have to sit with N instead of his cousin and friend.
I got in a walk with a friend this morning with L and her babe, then stopped at our contractors showroom to look at a few things and then to the grocery store for 3 things which turned into $130. But I made a pot of chili to have for lunches and bought ingredients for wild rice soup too. It’s a cool, rainy day so perfect soup weather.

I got a workout in, did some Ulta browsing, picked up Chipotle for lunch, and now I’m doing laundry and packing. M2 is home now after they called me saying his eye was bothering him and it was bloodshot. They said I didn’t need to pick him up, but when you call me like that I rather him be home so I can figure out what is wrong. Get there and his eye seems normal and he’s fine. It looks a little red, but apparently it was worse a little bit ago. 🙄 I ask him questions and he’s like no/nothing. Kids man.

Schools are staying closed tomorrow and then we had a 4 day weekend already scheduled. Soccer was canceled because the bridge to the park is underwater. We are also under a boil water advisory so we just packed up and headed to the beach. Here’s to one last weekend of eating ice cream (after C goes to bed) and drinking margaritas.

I’m sorry for all of the rain east coasters. inthekitty Ouch! Your poor mom. However I would like to lose 35lbs in 2 months. Actually, I probably could if I quit drinking. Lol Yesterday was crazy so I didn’t get to check in. We’re here. My dad looks like shit. Like skeletor. We the doctor should have received the results from his MRI yesterday, so I’ll be calling them today to see if they’ve looked at them. I hate to say this, but I’d be surprised if my dad makes it another year.

Oh that so hard tgrimes. Seeing your parents so helpless is just so heartbreaking. I hope his MRI is ok and he starts to improve a bit with the move.
