Role call? It's been quiet here, lately.
How's your last Monday of August going?

Kids are at school. Work is getting done. And I’m throwing a corset together for my costume.
I’m debating adding boning for support.

I hand an open week, so of course, I'm being lazy and not productive. I should do things, but it's so hard. I'm most productive at like 2pm 😬🤷

rugger, your post made me LLOL because I get lazy too when I finally have free time for all the things I procrastinated. My on-line nursing school class ended last night, and I'm on a 4 week break now. I have a huge to-do list but let's be honest, I'll also be catching up on Blinds 😉 Anyway, I had Dunkin Donut coffee with cream and sugar today. We'll be doing our regular homeschool routine this week.

Hello! I’ve been gone lately. Big kids start school on Wednesday, and I have a ton of work to do on-site before Friday (ideally before Thursday) so it’s sort of a shitty week.
I’ll find a way. My kids are so tired of going to work with me. Just another week, for T…
Meanwhile, trying to make these last two days of summer very fun for the kids. Is it fall yet???

But I need more interfacing and to get some grommets. Plus cotton batting and I might as well pick up some lining and poster board. Basically I should live in a craft store at this point…. Oh I do need some grey faux leather as well. 🥺

Hello! I just bought another business, which is a little surreal, but nice. It’s also a ton of work while we sort through their systems and absorb them into our systems.
Staffing has also been insanity, which is making things harder for the transition with the new company. But we’re muddling through it. I have 6 interviews schedule for tomorrow, so that’s fun.
Kids are at school and loving it. We have new neighbors with girls the same age as M and C and they’re pretty great, so that’s potentially exciting.
Life is lifing.

I did not sleep well last night. Now I have a headache and feeling a bit "eh"... so that's a fun mental game. I am not laid up on the couch or feeling totally awful, so I'll forego any testing for the time being. Trying to be productive today

It's my first day back in the office since mid-March 2020. It's trippy in here with the 2020 calendar on the wall and all the pictures of G and L age 3 and younger. H didn't even exist then! It was nice to eat lunch with some coworkers but overall I'm still grouchy to be here. Every traffic light on the way in I would grumble to myself how I'd already be working if I were still at home. Ball of sunshine = me.

Howdy. I'm just muddling along. 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I'm feeling exhausted all the time (it doesn't help that W keeps waking me up WAY too early). W will be 2 on Friday and I'm not ready at all for her party lol. I feel like this summer has just flown by, but I'm looking forward to getting the kids out to some activities again. We're going to start doing some stuff with the local homeschooling group so we can start to get to know some people. I'm a bit nervous how F will do.

We are spending this last week of summer at a lakeside cabin with my parents. The kids are loving it and my parents are doing most of the cooking and tidying up, so it's a nice break for us (though MH and I are not getting good sleeps AT ALL). Today we mini-golfed and went for a hike. Tomorrow we'll head to the beach. We're right near the water but there isn't any beachfront at our cabin, it's all rocks and the water level is really high so you can't walk along the water at all.
We celebrated my dad's and MH's birthdays over the past few days, and then C's 2nd birthday is this Saturday! Summer is going out with a bang before school starts next Wednesday.

This is our last full week of summer, school starts next Wednesday. My sister and her bf were here for a week visiting, we just dropped them off at the airport yesterday. This week is full of appointments, meet the teacher night, and making sure we have everything we need for school before the holiday weekend begins.
Yesterday J got an actual haircut - it was below his shoulders and now is a short "surfer" style - he looks so much older and he loves it. We are both very excited that he can wash his own hair now and he is glad not to have hair touching his neck or ears anymore. He looked so great with the long hair but I am happy he was finally ready to cut it because it was a lot to deal with, especially at school. He says he plans on growing it out again in a few years.

Oh, I bet he looks so grown up!! Kids washing their own hair is definitely a parenting milestone 😆

I can't wait until we can get far enough ahead on production that we can start experimenting with flavors, microbatch style.

Finished the corset and Cs cloak.
I am super proud of the cloak.
I need to work on my belt and his tunic this weekend. Maybe start the handle of the master sword.
Side note, he has a cough so we might be hanging at home this weekend.
