We made it! Woohoo!
DH has today off. With his new job, when he has to work a weekend day he gets two weekdays off. So this week he gets Friday & Saturday off, will work Sunday and then have Monday off. He's going to be putting up the door in my office today, so I have a feeling I might be a bit distracted today. Hopefully my workday stays quiet.
He has to then go back to my dad's tonight to work more on their deck. They want me and DD to go over with him to hang out, but she's fighting a cold and we have two birthday parties to go to this weekend so we'll probably just stay home and relax.

My hair is teal! H convinced me not to do a second round of bleach and just leave it so it would sort of have low lights. It works, and he really likes it, but I'm not sure. It's also more green than I want, so I need to buy some blue and touch it up.
People have convinced me R needs to go too bed earlier because for her age she's not getting enough sleep. So all week I've put her to bed an hour earlier than normal. And she wakes up 2 hours earlier than normal. 😑 This is not the result I was hoping for. And I don't know how many more mornings I can start before the sun is up in hopes that she'll adjust.

what are you getting your degree in @chair? & once upon a time, I dipped my toes in photography. I used the two peas in a bucket tutorial when I was first getting started. It was a really great guide. Now anything I take pics of is just family stuff. Maybe one day I'll have enough energy to go out there & just shoot. Le sigh.

DS is at computer camp. Almost time to get him & shuffle him over to STEM camp. In the morning, the guy said they were going to have a little party at the end & DS was jumping up & down for joy. Lol Last year he gave out little goodie bags & DS was talking about that all morning. I told him to keep in mind things may change from year to year so don't get your hopes up just in case he doesn't do it but since it's literally DS & another boy that's consistently there every day, I bet he will. Super small group. Lol I've only seen one other girl only one day. So weird. I'm gonna go early & hopefully take a pic. He was so cute yesterday doing his thing on the computers & I left my darn phone in the car.

NamasteBirches The one by the mirror is in regular LED lightbulb light. In the kitchen is soft white/yellow lightbulbs. And outside this morning with the sun washing is out. I think it's too dark, but H really likes it. I don't know. I at least already ordered a bottle of blue dye to give it a bit more blue than green. PDQ pics. I'll probably delete them later.

It's raining and storming here so I'm not sure what we will do. We have my brother and SIL coming over this evening for dinner and then we will go out for a couple drinks. DS and nephew will hang here. They're both excited for another sleepover. We're soaking up the rest of summer even if the weather won't cooperate.

I've been busy this week. DD had a few remaining activities and tomorrow is a friend sleepover before school starts. I'm anxiously awaiting the class list to be released this afternoon. Five. More. Days.

DS was a pain when I picked him up. He was being so rude. The moment I enter the room, he wants to leave & the guy was reviewing some stuff & I told him to calm down, there's still time. He didn't even get to handing out the certificates. The guy was also trying to give me this funny anecdote about how he let them play some video games because this place is kind of like a technological hang out location for middle school aged & up during the school year for kids so there's tvs/computers/video games, etc. There was a pirates of the Caribbean game but the lego edition & it had the rating which was 10+. He told the guy 'oh no! my mom isn't going to like this' or something along the lines because he always looks at the tv rating when shows come up & he's been curious about that. Lol so anyway, while the guy was talking to me about that, this kid is literally leaving the room & closing the door behind him dude! I had a talk with him in the car but who knows if he gave a damn. ugh

He's still too cute NamasteBirches! I'm folding dd's laundry and a bunch of last year's clothes are in the pile. *Sigh* She doesn't fit them anymore so I'll be adding them to the consignment box. I was hoping the denim pants could still fit for a few months because she barely grew and they all have adjustable waist.

It's the end of the STEM camp & they're having their end ceremony thing too. I guess the guy learned his lesson from space camp with parents showing up late so he shifted it earlier to 3 vs at the end of camp which is 3:30 so the day is ending early over here. Gonna have to leave here soon, make sure I get a good seat. Space camp was cute because they all came out in their astronaut outfits. Not sure what they're gonna do for this. It's a micro/macro/nanoscale camp. They've studied microscopes & talked about how big & small things are. A little bit more boring in that regard. Lol I guess we shall see!

omg you guys. so the presentation thing was the kids all made posters of what they learned. Originally the guy said everyone was going to present but that wasn't realistic so he was just calling for volunteers. Most of the kids were older than DS & were not thrilled to speak up. Lol DS hand shot right up after the first kid. I was so proud I wanted to cry & then my damn phone fails. Camera wouldn't freaking open to record it. I wanted to throw it across the gd room. I was so pissed. Him speaking out in front of a room filled with people is like amazing. He is a speech kid for the newbs. He didn't start talking until he was 4. Up until the 2nd year of preschool he wasn't participating in things, like the teacher was manually manipulating his hands to participate in songs, etc during storytime/songs. It's just crazy sometimes to see how far he has come even though he can be a major pain at times. Him volunteering to do things I even hated doing as a kid is kind of like phenomenal even though he is still different than his peers. That confidence is inspiring. #preemiestrong Sorry that turned into a novel. Still pissed I couldn't record it for DH & really it was just a few sentences about how he learned about microscopes & the field trip they took to the college's geology dept to use a high powered microscope. Nothing fancy, it's just the confidence & how fearless he is that gets me.

What a cute video LED! @threegiraffes, - Holy crap...finding out less than a week in advance, that's crazy. The suspense would kill me. We don't start school till Sept 7th, and it's bugging me already that they haven't sent out the letters with the teacher assignment or any information about orientation.

We meet DSs teacher on Monday. School starts on Thursday. Bus passes aren't out until Wednesday- one day before school starts! It's crazy to me!
I've sent out my welcome letters already. Every school is so different! I still can't believe my baby will in the 4th grade as of Thursday!

Well I still have no idea who her teacher will be. The lists are out but her name isn't on ANY of them! W.T.F.
Her classroom orientation is on Monday. I fired off an email to the principal. Someone majorly dropped the ball. DH and I are both pissed.

Several phone calls will be made that morning until someone answers me. I'll be walking into that school fuming. Her district is so lazy and douche-y like this. Wait until the last minute and there will be mistakes. Did I mention I registered online in JULY?
