Everyone has such an intense head cold here. Scratchy voices, snotty noses, eventually into a cough. I Instacart-ed a bunch of tests. Everyone only has a single lines-- mine has the FAINTEST secondary line so I'm going to the dr to get a real test (Apparently because I'm a patient in the books for October, they can see me for a Covid test). Fingers crossed it's just beginning of the school year germs.

I have to start work later then norm so I took E to school, she can be dropped off at 700, L can’t be dropped off until 745 at the earliest. Just dropped E off and waiting for coworker to get here to walk in. She asked when dance class starts…it’s starts in two weeks. I need to find L’s birth certificate so I can finish his soccer registration. I feel like im so behind on L and sports.

I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep at all last night. And the kids are off for a teacher in-service day. J is being awful and MJ is terrorizing the house. I need to start laundry but don't have the energy to sort clothes right now. Ugh.

The donation/dump people will be here soon and the movers come between 4-6pm. At least they all won’t be here at the same time.

Negative over here so I guess it's just back to school germs! I still don't know what to do about the kids tomorrow. Maybe they'll improve today

I almost clocked out instead of clocking in. While it’s a Tuesday it feels like a Monday.

I’m having a morning. DH had to be at work early so I took the kids to the bus stop, which is normally DH’s job. We got outside at 7:50, which is when the bus is supposed to come and it never did, so after 7 mins we got in the car and I drove them to school. I guess maybe it came super early today, idk. Tomorrow we will be out there at 7:45. I’m glad that both girls are back at school today. V and I are going to Costco soon. Tonight is H’s first soccer game.

Waiting on IT to help with my remote log in issues. I've been dealing with this crap since last week and he doesn't seem to be in any hurry to fix it. In order to even get him to respond I have to cc a partner on the emails. So ridiculous.
I'm also realizing that my work friend is clearly not a friend. She hasn't texted once to see how Cadence is doing and the last text I got from her was questioning why I was out in the first place since mh works from home. This is the same coworker who is out constantly and she has the audacity to question me.
Idk, it's just aggravating and disappointing.
And just for that I'll be staying home an extra day even though Cadence will be back at school. 🖕

That's so shitty klong11. I've been struggling with a friend lately who isn't being much of a friend and it gets old.

I have the day off. Nothing really planned except back-to-school night this evening. I wish I had Thursday off because the girls have conferences then (?? Why I don't know, school doesn't start until Friday), but I'm not sure I'll be able to get away from work to attend. I have to be at the office every day this week.

Lola woke up with conjunctivitis. She’s been itchy since we got her but it’s been worse the past few days. She got a lot of junk over the weekend. I am in the process of switching her food to one with more salmon it now that she got the pink eye I am wondering if I need to do a hypo allergenic food trial. Since it’s allergy related (bacterial conjunctivitis in dogs is a bit rare) she was able to take Benadryl and head off to her first full day of puppy preschool. I spoke to the vet and am picking up some eye lube to help soothe but she agreed with my diagnosis based on the pics and symptoms.
Anyway, C is at daycare all day too. School starts tomorrow. I took the day off to stretch my long weekend. Basically I’ve eaten, read, had a long snuggle session with Marty, tried and failed to nap, and now I’m going to eat and read again. If only everyday was like this!

guster Glad the test was negative! klong11 She doesn't sound like much of a friend. I am the worst at communicating with friends now. I can barely keep track of my own things, let alone remember to reach out to see how they're doing. I don't know if it's having a kid or being lazy! I should have taken today off. I'm exhausted. I changed my password to my laptop Friday and couldn't login this morning. And I feel like I haven't gotten anything done. I did just have a call with a different company about a potential job, but I don't know how it went. Managing 5 to 10 buyers kind of sounds like a nightmare.

Hi.
M2 started coughing a little Sunday night, but from experience any time we travel a few days in he gets like this. It’s why I always travel with allergy and cough meds and his breathing machine. Yesterday he was a hacking mess, and of course the thought popped into my head, but again, this is normal for him. No other symptoms, so he just got a ton of breathing treatments yesterday in hopes he’s not a coughing mess today. He seemed fine this morning- didn’t cough much at all.
Dropped him off at the new school and he did well. As soon as he saw the animal figurines, he started playing with them and I was able to walk away without him bothering with me.
I’m at work. Steady day. Not much else happening. M is at gym camp today. I sent him in a mask, but they said when they are on the mat, he can’t have it on. Some rule in gymnastics. They said enrollment is low for today, so I was happy to hear that. Taco Tuesday tonight. Looking forward to it.

@lahdeehdah I hate that part about these symptoms that are soooo freaking common. I mean I sneeze a lot (seriously a lot) I’m guessing it’s allergies, but never got tested or anything, because other than it being a nuisance, it’s no big deal. Ds coughs a lot, he sleeps with his mouth open and His mouths gets dry and he’ll cough. But I hate ‘that’ thought creeping in ever other day.

Also I don’t think I said hi properly today… sorry! It was a crazy day. I had a zoom meeting this morning, which I figured was no big deal, since dd has been steadily napping from 9 till 10.30-11 for about a month and a half now. Well not today… so I had baby girl with me on zoom. Where I found out that practically nothing got done on a project I normally start around feb/March. They were all looking at me. Project is due early November, but all pr, mailing, invites etc need to be out in 5 weeks… I’m not officially due back until two weeks from now 🙄. Dh is at work tonight so I had to bring all three kids to bed, I managed . Also Dutch summer in all its humid glory decided to show up, i hate this heat.

Definitely feels like a Monday, so glad it’s Tuesday.
I got a walk in with my sister this morning, then took L for a haircut. Just finishing lunch now and our contractor is coming over soon. Hopefully they’ll be able to give me a timeline of when we can start.
N starts dance tonight. She’s trying a new class- acro, so we’ll see how that goes. Her regular tap/jazz/ballet class is tomorrow.

I woke up to negative tests for me and the 3 boys but still nothing for DD. The school nurse from DD’s school called and said we all need to stay home and retest Friday, then return Monday if we are all negative. Now my nurse just emailed me that I can come in with proof of negative test and vaccination. Tomorrow is virtual meet and greet day so I just want to do that from home but my principal is not responding to that request and I really need to know so I can let the parents know if it’s canceled or not. I can’t exactly go in all week because that would mean I need to bring DH home and then quarantine would be extended. All these rules are worse than covid itself right now.
