I'm waiting for my phone to be delivered and I'm pretty much just staring at the office door willing the FedEx guy to walk through it.

LBB had a teddy bear picnic today with his kindergarten class, so I brought in some watermelon and pirate booty and we sat on the playground with his best friend and his best friend's dad. It was cute, but really, I dropped him off at 8:00 came back at 9:30 and if he wasn't in aftercare I'd be going back again at 11:00. It's a little much.

I'm kinda of glad summer is almost over. We seem to be so busy and I feel like we are constantly on the go. So here's to getting back on a schedule!

I got my new phone. Holy fuck is it an adjustment. Tapatalk looks completely different. I also am confused by bitmoji. I got Snapchat and signed up and almost had a heart attack when it found everyone I've ever fucking known. So then I go to bitmoji and I thought it took your pic and then automatically built your face, but it looks more like a Mii builder. 🤔
Im pretty sure I could give the phone to K and she could figure it out in 10 minutes. Im old now. 😣

DS uses the pincher motion with his two fingers the other day to zoom in on a picture that I was showing him on my phone (of course he was zooming in on a dump truck way in the background...) I was like - wait - who taught you to zoom and swipe like that?😮

It was a pretty good end to the week over here. Very productive day and DS was in good spirits. He is really getting into his duplo legos and actually playing more independently with them. It's so nice! Before, he would get easily frustrated if he couldn't figure out how to put the various pieces together.
Fingers crossed this independent playing thing gets longer and longer...that will be helpful when the baby arrives in later this month or next month!

Between the longest short week ever at work and DH just getting over another gout attack, I'm exhausted. And I'm going to work later to help with the move to the new place.
I'm entirely too excited that I'm not working a full week again until October though! I'm trying to use up some vacation time before I lose it at the end of the month, so I'm taking Monday off for DS's GI appointment and the 19th off for our anniversary. The last week of the month is the break week between quarters at the school where I work and they don't ask me to work them since I can't be there on Friday mornings.

I'm done with this week and it's only noon. My boss just completely contradicted what he said yesterday and added a bunch of shit to my plate that I literally do not have the knowledge base to do (think of it as if you had to write a whole slew of articles on a subject you know nothing about and need a bunch of degrees to understand). I cannot wait for 4:30.

I went in and volunteered with the kindergarten class again this morning. I'm seriously such a nutcase. Looking at all those little guys working hard and getting recognition made me tear up. I love all of them and I really barely know them. I can tell which kids are handfuls (most of them) and am thankful I'm not teaching or responsible for all of them, but I really like being there and watching them.
I'm also in a good mood because DH and I are going on a date tonight, so I'm sure that helps my rose colored glasses.

FFFC: There will be no kiddie songs on my car radio or tv. I don't mind play a netflix show with nursery rhymes and the like. But who the heck is Raffi and why would I want to listen to him.

Every so often I will put kids music on for DS and I skip to the songs that he sings along to because it is the cutest thing in the entire world. I just about melt as he belts out the itsy bitsy spider or the abcs from the backseat.

But the Barenaked Ladies and They Might Be Giants kids albums are fantastic. And Juice Box Heroes are the best.

This was the longest week ever. It was also the most discombobulated start to a school year I've experienced in my 9 years in my district. Sadly, it's the special ed admin that have turned it into such a clusterfuck, when they (should) know how much it impacts my students. Luckily, I have great building administrators, and a lot of support from my colleagues, so every day will get a little better. And, it's Friday, which helps! I can't have wine, but I plan in eating some leftover birthday cake tonight to celebrate.

I know he is still touring, so I am actually hoping we can try to see one of his concerts during our next trip to the states / DS would be ecstatic! DS loves to ad-lib the songs and they are kind of educational too! Helps with his creativity.
