Hey what's going on this week?

lilyelayne happy birthday to J!
kartish garden sounds lovely. I hate ant problems; hope it's fixed
aggiebug I'm sorry S is sick. I'm waiting for post disney illness here but so far, so good...

I am just trying to catch up from our trip still! Getting some house things done and today I want to go on a nice long walk with the girls. Good to get back to being active after a few down-time days. Since father's day was cool and rainy DH chose to see Aladdin - we had a free popcorn coupon too. It was better than I had thought but I had very, very low expectations going into it. Nothing beats the original animated ones to me. Too much nostalgia. The girls said they didn't like the live action but I think they secretly did. Jasmine was well done I thought. Anyone else see it?

I can't believe that June is slipping by me. We don't have any classes/activities planned. Hopefully we'll get to the zoo and swimming when it warms up here. I AM having N continue her educational programs from school at night. Trying to prevent the summer slide.

dreemkin we saw Aladdin and it was ok. I liked Jasmine and Aladdin characters but Genie was disappointing and I definitely prefer the original. I was hesitant going in because Aladdin is a favorite of mine, and it would be hard to replace Robin Williams. Buuut Will Smith can sing, dance and is funny so I had some hope. I didn't think he was any of those this time. I still liked it and the new music.

We made it home today. Came home early because it was a rough night last night and S was still a mess this morning. It was a good call, she went downhill the ride home and was pretty miserable. Got home and she spiked a 103+ fever poor kid. Our AC is out and C threw up from coughing so fun times here 🤦. I think it's just a cold she just gets hot quick but still that is miserable.

Oh no aggiebug hope the AC is fixed and everyone is on the mend.

Ac is patched... Someone is coming out tomorrow to fix the board, but they rigged the fan to run so at least our house is cool. Thank goodness because I had so much laundry to do and S is still running a high fever so we would be stuck at home in a sweltering house!

aggiebug get well vibes sent your way! This cold/cough is nasty if it's the one we recently had. My nephew has it too, an ear infection and upper respiratory sh*t. BIL even had a chest scan due to the length of illness too. This cold hangs on for dear life....

It was supposed to rain today so we went to the mall play area and met my parents there. It was a fun filled day. Hit the semi annual sale at b&bw too 🤦‍♀️ It didn't rain til the evening but that's okay. Better to be out and about than sitting at home.

My aunt is in the hospital and they are tranfering her to a city hospital to hopefully get better/more advanced care. She is not well in general so this is tough for her. Hoping for some good news in the days to come. It was good for my mom to get out of the house today instead of sitting at home worrying about her sister.

Genie was not my style in live action. I understand Will Smith is a hip hop artist but he should have toned that down to play the genie. Genie has not one shred of hip hop to him in the animated film. I thought the CGI could have been better too for the budget and empire Disney has in this world. Do better Disney.
