Hot coffee with a little oat milk for me this morning. Starting our true Summer schedule today. I'm in charge of the girls until lunchtime, then I head out to clients until dinnertime while S takes over for the last few hours of his day (he's done working by 2:30-3:00pm)
I'm going to attempt a schedule of breakfast, morning walk with kids + dog, a Spanish learning lesson, then free time. I really want to get back on the language learning path, so I'm hopeful this schedule will work well ... S is going to attempt to work poolside while the girls play at the gym's outdoor pool. I'm skeptical that it'll go smoothly, but, not my problem to deal with lol.

I'm on my second cup of hot coffee with vanilla almond creamer. J is at camp and M and I are at the beach for the morning. He's doing day camp all week so M & I are having our own "girls camp" week and have lots of fun stuff planned. Lifeguard camp, pirate cruise, go Karting, and lots of lunches out. We also have friends in town all week so spent the weekend with them and will hang out with them this week as well. MH is out of town all week for work so I'm solo parenting the kids and dogs, fingers crossed no catastrophes. Also I've missed you all. I haven't had much time to check in lately. Summer is in full swing, busy busy busy!!

I made myself a double latte this morning. It's hot and humid and there are going to be thunderstorms later today and tomorrow. I need to mow both lawns before it gets too hot. I also need to grocery shop and do some school reading.
L and N both have repeat allergy testing later this week, on separate days, so I'm going to take each of them out for lunch after their appointments for some one-on-one time.

I’m up, had to deal with two over tired kids.
2 cups of coffee, yogurt, and meetings this morning.
I need to regroup, get my week written out, and finish laundry.

Quick cup of coffee then picked up the dogs from the boarder. It’s the last week of school, starting with a day off for Juneteenth. The girls go full days Tuesday and Wednesday then half days Thursday and Friday. We’re going camping this weekend so have to go grocery shopping and get everything all packed up. Also have to cut the grass since we were gone this weekend too and it’s pretty tall.
I’m trying to get ahead on work while the girls are at school this week so I can take it nice and easy while having the girls home with me all summer.

I am so excited for this week.
- Multiverse of Madness - another episode of Ms Marvel (I’m going to introduce E to this show and the comic. Check it out if you haven’t) - Umbrella academy season three
But seriously check out Ms Marvel, this will hit well with girls in their tween/early teens. They did an amazing job on this series.

Yesterday I had the day off for Juneteenth. I dropped the kids at camp and the baby at the sitter and sipped coffee and watched some trash TV. Then I wrapped presents for the BIG SIX YEAR OLDS' birthday. Crazy town. They had a great day. And L had a major breakdown at bedtime because she was very much NOT ready to be done making bracelets with her new beads.
We have a ton of cleaning to do this week. Their party is this weekend and right now the weather is looking iffy so that's not ideal.

Got name dropped for a new to me title/area that I have never done. But I know the systems on the user side. I’m having a minor panic attack because I’d love the opportunity. However, I’m in the middle of 3-5 projects that just kicked off. Timing is not ideal. Pffftt..

Well so much for my week with just one child. Before J's first day of camp was even over they emailed us and said they have to cancel the rest of the week because 20 staff tested positive between Sunday & Monday and they didn't have enough left to safely continue. Major bummer, for him and me. He will just join M & I in our fun plans but obviously 1 kid is loads easier than 2.

F is home because she was exposed on Monday.
We had plans to clean out my FILs garage on Friday and haul things to the dump. Plus a graduation party on Sunday.
We will test on Thursday evening to confirm. But no one has any symptoms for now. So we are back to worksheets, coloring, reading, and ABC mouse.
I’m more sad that we will need to reschedule her vaccination. I believe she needs to be 14 days out from a known exposure. 🥺

I got a call from DS1’s summer camp. They wanted to know why I didn’t put his seafood allergy on the medical form.
… this child is allergic to nothing. He is v anxious and also very fascinated with allergies and apparently this resulted in him reporting to the camp counselors that he has a very serious seafood allergy 😆.

Well, I wouldn’t think a summer camp would be serving seafood. Maybe he thought it was a safe one to claim 🤣

20 is insane - and every single one of them was vaccinated. This camp takes it all very seriously and requires vaccination to attend for both campers and staff. I appreciate them testing regularly so the cases were caught. I'm sure this is a huge financial blow to them to have to shut down and refund for the week. I don't think any of them even had symptoms, at least as of Monday they said everyone was feeling "fine". At least his counselors were negative so he wasn't exposed that we know of.

There is a part of me that hopes F is positive when we test tonight.
Only because I want to have a reason to stay home, do nothing outside of the house and just be.
(Obviously I’m not wishing illness on my kid in any way)
I think I need a vacation.

Also, she’s really stuffy today. But it could also be allergies or a cold.
We might be home bound for the next few weeks.

Is yours a state with a trigger law? I just feel so numb. I can't go anywhere on social media or read the news because I just feel so helpless and broken. So I just feel numb and bored.

I am in utter disbelief. HOW is this the world we're living in? OH was quick to pass the 6-wk "heartbeat bill" same day. I didn't even find out I was pregnant with H until I was 6 weeks! This is so fucked up for so many women. Edit. All women. Fucked up for all women.

Also, I'm not sure anyone in our extended family (except my brother and SIL) would understand.

My talking points have become:
I see you don’t believe in providing women with necessary medical care.
Or if I want to really drive the point:
I see you don’t care about women’s lives. Because this is how you unnecessarily kill women.
