We spent the entire long weekend at the pool. The sun was out, humidity was low, just perfect weather. J has 2 more weeks of school and then summer can really begin! Heading to the beach now until it's time to pick J up from the bus stop.

Just making coffee now. I'm stressed. My parents got here on Monday last week. On Tuesday we drove out to the property to visit them. On the way home the van started knocking... took it to the garage and it needs a whole new engine. They gave us a ridiculous quote because, of course, the supply chain is effed up. Almost as much as the worth of the van, which we still owe more than. So we've been trying to figure out what we should do and every scenario just stresses me out more.

I'm sorry for the vehicle stress Speedy. That really sucks.

It's windy and raining today. I made banana white chocolate chip muffins with the girls this morning. I'm going to have one with a cup of coffee when C goes for her nap.
We're having N's friend from preschool (and her mom) over on Friday but other than that we have no plans this week.

Ugh Speedy so sorry. We also had an unexpected car repair this month that was so freaking expensive. And the car is 10 years old but we can’t afford to get a new one so we paid for the repair. It threw our budget so far off for the month.

My littlest threw the most epic tantrum this AM starting as soon as he woke up.😕 MH apparently couldn’t get him out of the car and into the daycare building this morning so he brought him back home. I drove him back and got him inside. But man, this child really knows how to crush your soul sometimes.

BM is between jobs from last weds til next monday.
So she has no cell phone.
As of 6/1 tomorrow, we have no health insurance until 6/6.
The night after her last night of old job she broke her finger. Urgent care and primary told her to follow up with ortho.
Couldn't get them on the phone until today. Obv can't get appointment today. No one will tell us if its actually urgent and we need to bite the bullet and sign up for COBRA to cover the gap. Im thinking its not. But also next week she starts a new job and time off isn't the easiest.
I'm working from home and VERY ready for her to go back to work. Cuz, no phone. So every 5 minutes she needs mine.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
end rant.

This is why I will never mix my business and personally mobile phones.
I will foot the bill for keeping these two things completely separate. And keep my personal phone number when I leave a job for another.

Thanks guys. I definitely had a melt down today. Hubby found a new vehicle for us that we're waiting to hear back on and we found a loan calculator that showed with the worst case scenario that we would be paying double what we're currently paying and I definitely screamed at hubby that if that was what we'd be paying that I DO NOT WANT that. He got me calmed down and showed me that it's likely we'll only be paying like $150 more a month, which still isn't great but I can live with it. Still very much going around in my head about it and freaking myself out though.

You guys, the weather is perfect this week. We're all a little sun-toasted. My girls are loving the time with their 2yo cousin. There's booze, and way too much food, and the ocean breeze is blowing. Our beach house is perfectly located just outside the busier parts of the island, but still ocean-front.... I couldn't do this all year long, but gosh it's a nice break.

We got an Alex craft cart from IKEA yesterday.
You guys, why did I wait to buy something for my craft stuff.
So much room, 6 shallow drawers so I can layout everything.
I have a draw just dedicated to ribbon and one to thread.

PSA
Just get rid of those buttons you’ve been saving.
No really, no one wants them.

I made it to Friday.
Hair cut today. I’m taking C with me since he desperately needs a trim. Then we will stop and pick up some Manic Panic for the kids. Plus Sparring tonight for the older two.
Saturday is belt testing, and I need to decide on if I want to do yoga or kick boxing.
Sunday is volleyball pickups and daughters book club.
Can someone tell me when summer starts to get lazy?

I went to bed at 9:50 last night.
It was amazing.
Also, a king sized bed is amazing.
Time for oatmeal, coffee, and some kickboxing.

We went to the farmer's market for the first time this year. There was a chilly breeze blowing but it was sunny and felt nice. The kids wanted cupcakes from a vegan + gluten-free bakery. I know v/gf baking can be delicious, but these were really bad. The girls wouldn't take more than one bite and L threw out half of his. So we got lemonade to make it up.
MH has to pick up the trees we ordered this afternoon then rush to pick up my parents at the airport. I have to come up with a dinner idea.
And we found out this morning that a friend of MH's is getting married in my hometown next June, so we have a good reason to make the trip back home!

We have an amazing gluten free (possibly vegan) bakery here.
Like I would eat their products over regular bakery items because they are so tasty and not overly sweet.
I’m so sad those cupcakes weren’t good.

MH just texted me that the tree place "ran out" of pin Cherry trees, which I ordered online two weeks ago. They gave him a lilac instead. I am very unimpressed because I don't want to put a lilac where I was planning to put the cherry tree .

T and the girls are backyard tent camping tonight. I very generously “volunteered” to sleep inside with the dogs. They went to bed around 845 and I’m drinking wine in silence while getting caught up on shows.
