Oh clucky that’s so hard. I’ll keep his family and yours in my thoughts. We’ve dealt with a lot of loss in DS’s life including a friend’s sibling and I’ve found that DS is always most receptive to talking about things when he’s laying in bed ready to fall asleep. We turn the lights off and hold hands and he can speak more freely about his feelings.

DS has a friend over tonight and at dinner we were talking about Biden and Harris. Both boys were saying how they wanted Harris to be president because she would be the first woman President. DS’s little friend says “yeah some of the people who voted for Trump won’t vote for a woman to be president because they don’t think a woman can be president”. I said yeah that’s right and then said but you guys don’t think that do you? And they were both like “NO. NO WAY”. And then his friend adds in the most matter of fact tone “what watching you tube has taught me is that boys are by far the more stupid gender”. Then he tells me all the dumb stuff he’s seen guys do on you tube. I was laughing so hard.

jaygee I love that. It sounds more like how DS2 is, except he will go to bed and will start reading a book. After 20 minutes or so, he will come find me and tell me all the things I had been asking about during the day and his replies were “nothing” or very matter of fact. I’ll pull him away from his brothers tomorrow to chat. We have some Big Brother to catch up on, which is just for us 2.

Is this the right thread to ask who is tracking the rumor that Jon and Ronan broke up? I read about it on Reddit yesterday and then fell down a Twitter rabbit hole. I haven't seen those but I did see a DeuxMoi blind that was about a shady journalist (relationship-wise) and some of the guesses were Ronan.

Despite all my fretting, I’m happy to report that DD made it to camp yesterday! All of her solo travel went smoothly- her flight was on time, all Covid tests negative- and she was just so damn excited and ready to do this. I was really nervous that we had made a mistake with her new diagnoses this year, but I’m so glad that we stayed the course and got to see her really shine in this moment of independence and adventure. Im so proud of her.
Now we just hope she writes! 😂

Movers were supposed to arrive this morning between 8 and 9, so of course they show up at 7:15. 🙄😆 But hey, we will now have furniture in this house so I'm not going to complain.

We had a car delivered + our moving truck when we moved here. The car showed up pre 5 AM and the moving truck at like 7. WHY?! But having furniture is worth all of it!

PDQ byjove - back when I was taking medication for my ADHD, Adderall was the best med that worked for me. It does have the tendency to become less effective for people over time, so my dr had me take Vyvanse on the weekends to sort of clear my system, if that makes sense. If you have any questions, feel free to dm me.

We have a lot less light pollution at our new house, but very tall trees on the property. So it remains to be seen (no pun intended) if we have a view for anything.

My kids start back to school next week and I’m not ready. I’m not even sure where July went.

Thank you for the reminder! I always like to have one late night watching it because it feels like the unofficial end to summer.

I am so ready for them to go back. They need the distance from each other. They cannot get through a day without an argument devolving into tears lately.

I'm not ready for mine to go back yet. The laid back days of summer just go by far too quickly.

I start back on the 23rd and DD1 starts on the 29th. DD is in an art show on Saturday and then I decided to have DD2's birthday party since my sister will be in town for the weekend. So this week is busy, but next week is relax and recharge to get ready for the new school year!

Last year we were camping during peak meteor shower and it was amazing. Not camping this year, so I’ll have to plan a later evening outside.

Totally random, but I'm doing some periodic Czech learning in prep for our trip. I had to laugh at today's word that needs no translation.

I think I’m in denial that school is starting in 12 days. It’s really hard to believe that my baby is starting kindergarten this year. She’s still so little and cuddly.

Who the fuck is going to do 4-5 hours of work for $18? With a Master's?

My 6yo was accepted to attend a magnet elementary school in our new city!! Moving over the summer, I didn't think he'd have a chance. But now he's in! And we avoided the lottery.
