Yesterday afternoon was a bit crazy. MIL called me to come get DD early b/c FIL was taken to the hospital. He has had some heart trouble for a while and has a defibrillator. Yesterday it went off multiple times, once knocking him unconscious. He was admitted at the hospital and they are running tests to see what is causing the irregular heartbeat. So today and probably for the rest of the week, DD is home with me...which is always interesting when I am working. She is at school right now. Hopefully she'll be able to entertain herself when she gets back.
Then DH decided to apply to a new job. He talked it over this morning with his district manager before actually applying. The conversation went well. The position is with the same company and he would fall under the same district manager, but it is at a different client site. From a job title perspective it's a step down, however it's a bigger account so he'll be able to do/grow more (including getting back into cooking) and it pays quite a bit more than what he is making now because his current account is so small. I hope it works out for him. I hate seeing him so unhappy where he is.
So if you guys are willing to spare some T&P's we could use them all around over here!

Today's the first day of the bogo book fair at school. I'm usually not too impressed by the fairs since they're mostly retail prices & I can't help but think how much cheaper I can get them online but bogo free might not be too bad. DS was begging me to come in & take him out of class to go to it vs after school because there will be "too many people" apparently. Lol we'll see

NamasteBirches - My sister told me a about her school's bogo book fair last spring...not realizing how expensive the books are I ended up still spending $30 on two books. I know part of the money goes back to the school, but it kills me that I can buy the same books on Amazon for a fraction of the cost. That being said, I am sure I will still end up buying books at DD's book fairs when she is in school next year to help support the school.

But still...a 10-20 page hard cover should not be that much money!

I'm not sure what we are doing today. It's raining right now but if it stops we will probably walk around a little bit. This weather is bumming me out a little bit. I'm still having fun, I just wish it was slightly nicer out.

misspeansmama thoughts and prayers your way! are you in Newport OR yellowwallpaper? I love that place. I went to cycle class this morning so I'm feeling energized for now. We also just booked our hotel and flights for Las Vegas in August! I'm excited.

I'm hanging out with the boys today. It's another beautiful day. Still a little chilly but otherwise gorgeous. DS has another baseball game this evening and then I'm taking both to my moms. I have a funeral for a coworkers husband tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spent 7.49 on 4 books. Not too shabby. All paperback. Not a lot was calling my name though. I always look for "special" stickers so I found two books with it for 2.50. DS felt like a VIP while the kids were leaving for class calling his name. I heard some teachers saying 'we are NOT going to the book fair.' Sorreh. You're the ones that put it in the gym this time around (which is across from the cafeteria.) Idk why, didn't seem any larger than the last fair that was in the library.

T&P misspeansmama! skategirl128, so sorry to hear about your coworker's loss. NamasteBirches, good find on those books and stickers! Randoms here...it's so freaking hot outside and my car hasn't had A/C in almost a year. I'm getting that shit fixed this weekend. I'm also really super over DD fighting me over every tiny little thing. Today's fight was "I'm not going to summer camp, I'm gonna stay home." Negatory on that, batgirl.

radiantfate, Thanks and sorry your DD is being so argumentative lately. Hope you are able to get your A/C fixed. I don't live in area as hot as where you are but I don't think I could go without my A/C.

DD just finished a bowl of watermelon and I asked her to go put her bowl on the counter. She obliged but with the comment "why do you always make me do the hard things?" Oh kid...you are in for a long life if you think carrying a bowl a few feet to the kitchen counter is hard.

Things have been so busy lately! The IL's flight left this morning, so I should have a little more time to post now. However, one of the kids that's staying with us right now broke my phone that I usually use so it only sort of works sometimes. I really need to get a new phone. I'm trying to convince H that I need the new Pixel, but so far he's not convinced.

DD tried the zip line at the school playground. It was her first time not being held onto and she really enjoyed herself. She's working on her confidence with trying new things or what might be a little scary for her. Her face was priceless and she was so happy she did it all by herself.

DS scored a run today! He was so proud!
Trigger warning- death mentioned
I'm catching a drink with a couple of my other coworkers this evening. This death has really hit close to home for me. I was ok to be supportive and give ideas on how to support the family until he actually passed. Now I'm at a loss and can identify and I'm just in a bad space with it right now. I'm hoping some time with friends will help this evening. I feel so badly for her and I wish I could pull myself together a little better.
