Took the kids to soccer and lunch, then came home and put L down for a nap and sent the kids to the basement to play. I had intentions to be lazy, and watched the last episode of virgin River. Then I got a wild hair to rearrange all of our current furniture to try and visualize the layout for after our remodel to get a better idea of what I need to buy. I’ve already ordered dining room table, chairs and barstools but will need an new couch and accent chairs.
I’m counting it as my workout moving furniture around by myself. Haha

Definitely a workout slenle! Rearranging is my favorite! Sadly our current living space has maybe two possibilities. You will post some pre and post reno pics, right? Poor kid lahdeedah. I don’t even remember cheek swabs! I hope whatever it is is quick and accurate. It’s amazing how different every region is and quite startling at this point.

tgrimes my gram got very confused due to a UTI. Leave it to your mom to take it the extra mile though! I hope she turns a corner and the movers arrive. Your poor sister must be stressed.

Cs soccer team is not very good. It’s almost like half of them don’t know how to play the game and some of those kids I know have played for years. They lost 0-8 and C got scraped up by a cleat after getting trampled so he was a beast after. Luckily he turned it around and had a great time at my work picnic. It was a beautiful picnic site on the water and there were a lot of cute dogs, good bbq, and some games. C was super great at teaching my coworkers three year old daughter how to play volleyball. It was adorable. Now we are all exhausted and DH is out getting takeout. If he could serve me too, that would be great.

This is the one thing I miss about MS. Their state health officials were on top of it regardless of the governor. In TN the state health officials are just as bad as the governor.

Our dog ran off earlier and while I was looking for him, I stopped to ask a neighbor if she’d seen him. Her (notoriously aggressive) dog came around the house and immediately attacked me. Like Jumped up and tried to pull me down and bit my arm and almost my leg. Luckily i had long sleeves on or I think it would have broke skin. But it did leave marks and bruises on my arm. Like, wtf?! Neighbor was right there trying to get him down, but my goodness. This dog always barks and runs to the edge of their invisible fence when we walk by, but had never crossed it. Now I’m scared for the day that might happen and him attacking my kids or dog. And on top of that, our dog has been acting weird all day and even more so after he went missing. Like, sort of lethargic and has a little limp. He didn’t even bug the kids for food at dinner hoping he snaps out of it by morning.

Lol. They aren’t able to start until early November and have promised it will be done by Christmas. But I didn’t hear a word from the contractor this week to sign the contract and give him a deposit so who knows.

My sister had to call 911 because my mom collapsed. They gave her some fluids and a stronger antibiotic. She says she seems back to normal now and has been telling her about the past couple of days. My mother has no recollection of any of it.

klong11 do any OTC drops help your eyes when your allergies are raging? Mine have been so bad lately and Zyrtec isn't doing a thing. I want to rip them out. The upper and lower lids around my left eye look like a wrinkled ball sack because of how puffy it gets. You're welcome for that visual. Not klong11 but B’s allergist recommended pataday drops. I think they are just 2x daily but they were life changing for him. He used saline in between Pro tip. They sting like hell but if you keep them in the fridge they aren’t as bad

There's a kid on M's team that walks around the field with both hands in his pockets. DURING GAMES. makes me crazy..

Also the movers totally screwed me. They were trying to charge me more but I fought it and they corrected the amount. However now they’re saying the salesperson have me incorrect information about delivery dates. They have from 7-30 days to deliver, blah blah blah. The issue is my sister only took 2 weeks of my parents’ pills with her. The rest are all packed with the movers. So Monday they’re out of pills. Wonderful. Oh no, I have been hearing about movers scamming people. I think Chrislovesjulia has a post on Instagram about red flags and what to do. They moved and the movers kept demanding cash and put some of their stuff in storage. Hoping it arrives soon.

She was very apologetic, but I don’t think it’s new for the dog to act like that. We found gus after about 20 minutes. Well, the neighbor across the street found him and put him inside while we were out looking. There’s definitely something up with him though. He laid by me in bed all night and literally did not move positions. Normally he’s in and out of our room and the kids room all night. 😔

slenle how scary...and irritating. I don't know why people who have aggressive dogs don't do more to keep them away from other people and animals. I hope your pup is ok.

Thanks for the advice on the allergy stuff, ladies. I'm going to head to the drug store today and try some out because I'm tired of my eyes looking and feeling like Night of the Living Dead.

Going to a farm place today for some goodies. I'll make waffles this morning and this afternoon setting up the fall decor.
We watched The Help again last night. The girls love that movie.

tgrimes hope your mom feels better. We once thought my grandma had a stroke and it was a UTI but she was more just laying in bed talking strangely. With all the UTI’s I get, I fear I will be like that when I’m older. slenle WTF to your neighbors? Hope you are okay and your dog is feeling better this morning. Poor DD was so excited to be able to play in her soccer game today and then the other team canceled. This week will be busy and I can’t wait! Virtually back to school nights Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, plus all sports back (except gymnastics which flooded so badly that night I got trapped that they had to gut the gym.)

E has a cold. First one since she was a baby. She’s so sad. I told her because she sick we can’t go to Knott’s and she said it was ok and just wanted snuggles. L was super sad he couldn’t go to Knott’s so before C leaves for work I’m going to target for cold medicine for E and something special for L.
So just taking care of E, laundry, and homework today.

My kid let me sleep, so when I got up I made french toast and fruit bowls.
She has a bday party to go to at 4, so she needs to get her play room cleaned up by then.
Other than that it's just laundry and cleaning.
