Solo drop off this morning:
Get everyone up and fed. Froot Loops because I am mother of the year.
Everyone dressed, and out of the house. DD daycare bag, forgot her cup, whoops. DS to preschool- he was on snack duty for this week, and I managed to make sure he had his lunch.
Major traffic accident because of course there is.
To work with 3 min to spare.
Forgot my own lunch 😩

armpants, 9/11 is hitting me especially hard this year too. Yesterday I was remembering with someone else who'd been in NYC during 9/11 how on 9/12, everyone was shell shocked and grieving, of course, but also, everyone was just so kind to one another, and so oddly, there was this feeling of hope. We seem so far from that now.

Hi! Still no power. We're fine. Very minimal damage. Some down trees, lots of street lamps knocked over, turn signals handing etc. Doesn't seem like a lot of property damage. We got lucky. They were saying it would be a cat 4 direct hit but it moved a bit East and was only a cat 2.

Just dropped A off at preschool. She was crying but trying to keep it other, so not totally losing it, which is heartbreaking in its own way. She kept saying "I don't want to go to school. It makes me sad." I sent her with a toy and stuffed animal from home and a photo album of her family members and favorite movie characters. If she doesn't improve in a couple weeks we will probably take her out of the program and try again at three.

So around 2 in the morning the alarm for our carbon monoxide detector went off... after a week of late nights and early mornings and constantly being in the go with packing for this move, plus being pregnant... I told H, who was still sleeping, to just take it down and I'd deal with it today. That's okay right? Maybe not my smartest move... but we're all still alive. I'll have H put the alarm back up when he gets out of the shower and I'll call the fire dept.

Doc appt at 10- DD1 is taking A for "sister pics". Should be super cute. I'm not going... I don't have the money to spend on this right now. I'll look at them after I move and determine what I want to buy. It'll be slightly more money for reprints, but overall less because it won't be an impulse buy.

Exhausted this morning. I've been doing dishes and making sure we have lots of friends water bottles so if we lose power we'll be ok. Molly (my dog) is cuddled in the recliner with me under the cover. I think she may be a little nervous. Other than that it's business as usual until we lose power.

S1 is still asleep. E is still asleep. h is still asleep. I've been reading and drinking coffee in silence. Glad that our school day is later (starts after 9) because we aren't rushed. One of the best feelings

I just put it back up and nothing... so, I'm taking a shower and getting in with my day. ETA... we had ours down for over a year at one point and put it back up when A was born. I don't remember why we took it down.

FFFC... I just figured out that ETA means "edit to add"... I'm special.

Babysitting a new girl today. Omg she's a handful.
Also, just killed a spider the size of my hand with spider killing spray (I'm a coward otherwise). It took every ounce of restraint to not throw up but it was outside on the girl's playhouse... It had to be done.

librarylady, I'm sorry A has been having a hard time with preschool. Do you know if she has a good time once she's there, and it's just the getting there that's rough, or is it hard for her the whole time?

I'm beyond irritated... so for over 3 weeks we've been waiting for work to be done in our dining room. I was told Friday the earliest anything would start is Tuesday. So wtf are there 2 men at my door at 8 am??? WTF are they telling me they're blocking off the rest of my dining room including any access to my bearded dragon. They were really nice guys and I was a little less patient (not rude, but visibly upset) than I should have been with them. I had to send them away... so now the work isn't starting because "I'm not ready". Such bullshit.

Posted in the wrong thread. Work is busier than usual today.
I just got a call from DC that DS was laying on his belly and a kid bit his back... Like I need any more stress? Thankfully no break, just red, but damn.

They released the identity of the girl killed behind my parents' house this weekend. And a 16 yo boy confessed to the murder yesterday. Unbelievable.
