In the latest saga of my Jeep, the dealership contacted me yesterday. They are now thinking it is the Security Gateway Module not communicating with the radio, so they want to replace both of those. They have no lead time on this refurbished radio they plan on putting in (because only brand new vehicles get brand new radios), it could be a week, it could be months. I should know more by the end of the week. He did ask if they put me in a decent rental and I said it was fine. Depending on what they say, I may end up contacting my finance company and see what we can do...I don't want to pay my full monthly payment if I am not driving the thing. They should at least prorate it from a 6 month old vehicle with 6k miles to a 3 year old vehicle with 37k miles.
Our agent reached out last night and said she thinks she may have an idea that will keep us getting everything we want for without the price increase and to be patient. I didn't even respond. I've let most communication go through H since I became very frustrated in this process months ago.

The doctor at the assisted living facility met with my parents yesterday. She's recommending hospice for my dad and she also thinks he needs a wheelchair. Neither one are surprising. She doesn't want to move him to a nursing home yet and said she'd re-assess in 30 days. She's calling in home health to come every other day for wound care. The place he had his cancer surgery on his face last year is still oozing and gross.
Anyway, I'm not hoping for any miracles, but I would like it if my parents can stay together for the time being.

That's a lot tgrimes. I'm sorry to hear your dad hasn't completely recovered from his surgery from last year! Hopefully they can stay together for awhile.

Lola is home with me on Wednesdays and I'm trying to work in a fog of dog farts! I don't know what they gave her yesterday but good lord! It's also too cold to open the windows but I might need to.
Aside from living in a cloud of farts, its pretty routine here. I sent C's Gizmo watch with him to school so he knows he can reach many of us in an emergency. I am hoping that helps his anxiety a little. This afternoon Lola is getting her first haircut while I go to the salon myself. I don't really want to go. I hate sitting around for hours, but I know I will feel better after.
Tonight is a virtual open house for school. We will see how that goes since DH won't be home to help manage the kid and dog.

My sister just got a phone call from the movers! They're stuff is being put on a truck and should arrive in 3-5 days. They'll call when they're 24 hours out.
I guess they were tired of talking to me. Lol.

mwhip , I don't know how you aren't torching things yet! I would be a hot mess! tgrimes , I hope they don't get separated. I'm glad they are in capable hands though. Believe me, I am. But I know there isn't much I can really do about things other than work it out rationally, which is difficult. H said if they aren't able to drop the price down and finish the basement off how we agreed, he's going to talk to the agent about cancelling things. So I think him and I are finally in the same spot on things. He was asking all kinds of questions about the other houses we had been in that were the same floor plan as ours, so he must be getting all his information together to go over with the agent.

wedding I wish we lived close so we could get our doggos together for play dates...when Lola has cleared up that gas issue. C's spelling list had all these words in a row: bad, gas, fan, wags. MH didn't appreciate it when I used them all in sentences involving him having bad gas when I had C practice last night. The girls found it more amusing.

MH and I are testing for our second degree black belt next month and I'm terrible at weapons so we're going to try to get in some extra training when we can to learn a weapons form. We have swords that we've never used so I'm going to channel my inner ren-fair self (that I don't think exists) to see if I can muster the passion to learn a weapons form and not look like a moron.
I'm also going to try to get to Costco today because I've had their stupid flyer for 2 weeks now and it finally goes live. The girls could use bigger jackets and they have nice ones in there.
Otherwise same old, same old.

Hey. This morning V had her 15 month checkup. She has been getting better with being around strangers but I guess that doesn’t apply to the doctor because she cried most of the time. Everything is going well, she’s on track with her weight and height. I brought up concerns about her diet and he said if she doesn’t start trying new things in the next 3-6 months he might refer her to feeding therapy. She got a couple of shots and also a covid test because of her cough. She was very upset about all of that. We are hanging at home while she’s napping and I might drive out to my sister’s house a little later to bring her a couple things. I’m so glad they’re finally coming tgrimes! mwhip what a mess, I’m sorry

Also hi. So I started the day getting soaked twice, I forgot to bring the kids rain gear to school, so instead of then getting soaking wet during outdoor time, I went back to school to bring them. The cargo bike is amazing, dd is very happily sitting nice and dry in her car seat. I think dd2 is teething, her sleep is worse then ever (like if I get 4/5hours a night split in two it’s a ‘good’ night…) I’m a little overwhelmed adjusting to working life again, my house is a giant mess, there’s laundry and chores everywhere. I should do it in the hour or so dd naps and the other kids aren’t around, but during those spare moments I sit on the couch and mindlessly watch tv 🙈.

Don't feel guilty about it nam2013. It's a tough adjustment. Everyone needs downtime. Maybe eventually try instituting setting the timer for 10 min which everyone (except for that freeloading baby 😉 ) focuses on an area to tidy up a bit around the house just so the mess doesn't drive you crazy.

kim22 I hope C is able to go to school today! Nope, didn’t happen. If he were in high school, he’d have been denied credit for the year already. DH took him to the doctor. She said it’s just a cold. FX tomorrow is the day he goes back.

I love my job but wow is it crazy. I used to have a 55 minute lunch, 55 minute prep and 55 of photo copy duty in middle school. Now I get a 30 minute prep at the start of the day and a 30 minute lunch and that’s it. I have also been teaching my class and half of another class almost everyday because we are so short staffed.

I'm sorry kim22 . That's tough. Especially since you have to be "on" so much of the day and it's not like you can space out with a bunch of little kids around.

I can radio for a floater but usually they end up assigned to a class.

Low key day today. H had a birthday party in the afternoon at an arcade and then dinner at the ILs. I’m ready for the kids to go back to school.
