Middle of the week, middle of the week

Hey...it's the middle of the week!

[dreemkin]

A went to the library for a totschool field trip. She loved it. I got to the gym and it felt good after the Easter feast (and Monday leftover feast..). Grilled burgers for dinner tonight!

[dreemkin]

Today I will be finishing up the entryway closet. I cleaned it and arranged. I also organized, washed, and put away winter stuff for the season. It feels good. I may pick another closet next. It doesn't feel as overwhelming when I do one at a time for a few days (or however long I need). Today is also grocery shopping since we are off a bit from the holiday and days off. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Bible study morning. I scheduled grocery pick up so I’ll do that after I get G from school.

My mom got her beach condo for a week in May; it’s G’s last week of school but I’m thinking about going anyway 😬 I’m gonna talk to his teacher about it. Maybe we’ll only go the first part of the week.

Home today without a car so will just be a chill day at home. I was supposed to wake up early for some WFH but that didn't happen.

Will probably spend some time organizing clothes and then get outside for some weeding. And then I'm hoping to get to the gym tonight.

I would go, for what it's worth! It's easier to do it when they're young then when they get to elementary school. I wish I could still take advantage of travel during the school year (even if I have to bite the bullet and lose the money for those preschool days missed)!! I miss being able to go whenever.

Yo ho yo ho it's middle of the week we go.

Kind of boring here, just back to routines and also catching up on house stuff and spring cleaning. In some ways it's good to be boring .

That’s like the ‘40 days, 40 bags’ declutter method. You pick a small thing to work on each day. Like a single closet, night table, junk drawer, Tupperware drawer, etc. That way it’s not too overwhelming and it’s totally manageable. There is a sheet to print out that you fill out a plan for each day. I’ve done it twice! Lol

I ended up having to walk with the boys down to the train station and head to the stop near DH's work. So that was my work out today.

But I did get the herb garden weeded. Oh and we got a call asking us if we could go tomorrow morning for A's speech therapy appointment, instead of the end of May. So we jumped at that chance. We'll both take the morning off and go. He does have a few more words than he did at his 2yr appt. but I think it will still be needed.

[dreemkin]

mishka29 I didn't even know I was doing that haha. It definitely takes me more than a day to do these things though. Especially with a needy 4 year old sigh.
kartish good luck with the speech meeting! Hope he can get the help if he needs it!

Embarrassing mom moment: I went to pick up N at school and she was staying after for art class today...😶😮😒😵 I'm such a dumb dumb, but the good thing was that A got to play at the park for an hour.

Eta: this week has me all screwed up

[aggiebug]

Hey hey. S sleeps horribly when she has a cough. I mean I am not shocked but I am kind of shocked by how miserable she is with just a mild sniffle and a cough. My guess is it's more a lack of sleep thing. Anywhooo we have that going on at the moment, today she was so emotional she coughed/cried till she threw up so she stayed home from school. Oyi. So that has been my day. I have a night out tonight and I desperately am ready to get out but also just don't wanna do anything.

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne how are you?

[lilyelayne]

A tornado wrecked our town last night. Very thankful we & our home are okay. Internet is out; cell service is spotty. Many roads are still blocked with downed trees. Thankfully we live outside town & still have electricity. G’s school is also okay.

[dreemkin]

aggiebug oh boy, my A is like that with coughs. She has had it lately on and off which means her allergies are kicking this year. Hope S feels better soon!

lilyelayne how scary! I'm glad you are safe but sad for those around you that are affected ☹

Oh wow that’s crazy! Glad you guys are okay.

[kartish]

lilyelayne oh no! So glad your family and home are all safe. I'll be keeping your town in my prayers.

dreemkin the speech evaluation went well. A is borderline but she thinks that he may be just delayed as she saw evidence of emerging skills. She wanted us to get his hearing evaluated and then see how he is doing in six months.
