We are on day 3 of just absolutely insane fog. I've never seen anything like it. It's like living in an m night shyamalan movie.

Even just having 4 days has been rough here. Add in after care for the first time all year and DS is exhausted and cranky AF by 6:00. I'm hoping this means he'll sleep in tomorrow and let his little body recover.

fancynewbeesly hugs. That’s a tough spot to be in as a parent. I am sure you are handling it well even if you are dying on the inside.

My baby bro and my sister in law were admitted today to have their little girl. Slowly progressing, but I’m so in my feels.
He’s 10 yrs younger, and forever a kid to me. And about to be the best daddy ever.
She’s the first girl since my DD, it’s been all boys on my side.
I cannot wait to meet my niece!

I guess between delayed starts and early releases and holidays we haven’t had a full week either. 😭
I had to pick up one of the kids early but I managed to put them to bed early so I’m going to ignore the mess and try to catch up on work.

fancynewbeesly hugs. That’s a tough spot to be in as a parent. I am sure you are handling it well even if you are dying on the inside. I mean DD1 is definitely handling it fine. She was SO excited for the test date. She said that she would be sad if she didn’t make it because she would have to choose one elective and it would be between German (who the teacher is AMAZING) and engineering and design. (Which she loves). But if she got into the STEM program she would do the German elective because she would already be working with engineering and design. But the teacher that runs the STEM program is her homebound teacher and she LOVES her. So that is another part of the draw.

We have 22 1/2 hours to make up for the 3 days we missed due to snow. It is a really dreary day, and I am not feeling great so I am hoping to complete a few of those hours today. But first I need to meal plan. WHY do these kids have to eat every day?!?!

Both kids are doing Legos and I’m packing and I can see a future where I can be more productive with the kids at home or have time for myself.

We've had a busy day. I was asleep before 7 last night so I was awake around 5. Went ahead and got up so I could start laundry and have coffee in peace. I took DS to get lunch and ice cream at DQ and then we hit up HEB to pick out Valentines for his class. Now he's coloring and watching videos and MH is gaming. MH has a cold and is feeling blah so I'm trying to let him lay low til 5 or so.

H and I brought the kids to a play place which was a baaaaad idea on a Saturday. So many birthday parties. It seems to have cleared out some though which is good. Plus he is jumping in the trampoline park with them while I snuck off to the bar for a beer or two. Bliss

After they're done we will probably bowl (my favorite) and then grab dinner. Hopefully they're worn out enough me and H can chill on the couch with movies and some drinks this evening 🍻

Poof today is DD’s 13th bday party. It’s Barbie Movie themed. H, DD, and I all got dressed up for it 😍 (I know my dress is wrinkly but the dress is only for a quick picture and I forgot to get the wrinkles out…my mom already yelled at me lol)

I went out to lunch and to the outlet mall today. I’m exhausted. I forgot how long the Covid exhaustion lasts. I have to go to Vegas next weekend for work, I need to be better by then.

I struggled for like an hour this morning to get my kid set up to play chess with his cousin online but we finally figured it out and they’re having a good time playing together so I guess it was worth the trouble.

We were in a really good place for a while with DS2 and then suddenly his meds just… stopped working. Completely. We did a cold turkey wash out and then started a new med last night. His OCD has been awful.
BUT my boss is amazing. We doctor with him at my hospital, and my boss met him Tuesday when my mom dropped him off for an appointment. She was very kind to him and told me that I should consider his care #1 and work #2. Since then she’s been occasionally checking in with me daily on if there is any way she can support me. When she was my age she was a widowed mom and is very sincere about making things easier for my generation.

I'm sitting here contemplating moving. Trimmed back the Grape vines drastically yesterday. Uduslly im carefully planning out which cuts go where to not tske it bsck too far. But last year we cut back to just the main T of branching and got more larger grapes. So this year i did the sane. so I have a hitch in my getalong. Or more hitch than usual.
The plan today is to cut back the apricot tree before it starts blooming. That's just dh a chainsaw and 3 cuts. Ill judt stand there pointing out where to cut. He'd like to be able to Mow a little further under the tree without cutting back on fruit. Last year I sold over 100 1 lb. bags of apricots.
It's gonna be almost 80 this week so all the plants think its time to bud. So we will get a mid February freeze just to remind the plants its not spring yet.
I'm taking the sola wood flowers from the wedding bouquet and putting them into a heart shaped wreath they can have forever. It's not hard a little bit tedious trying to get them to all line up right. I love to do crafty things.

fancynewbeesly, Oh no! I hope that she is feeling better soon. Do you guys have a protocol to follow for this type of situation?
