I just want my yoga pants**

TGIT - Today is my Friday and I am sooooo happy! I have taken one of my remaining 7.5 vacation days tomorrow...so I can sit at home and go through garage sale items, clean the house, go to th eye doctor, bake zuchinni bread & pumpkin cookies and watch the debate with my boy. God, I love Fridays!

Today is pretty decent - this week has sucked so a day with no MAJOR problems seems golden. I did get the plumbing fixed. $126 later. Actually much better than I had anticipated but still. Ugh. I also paid the furnace dude $69.99 last week so that the boy and I wouldn't wake up dead after the furnace kicks on some night from CO poisoning. I do however have a 1 square foot hole cut out of said dining room ceiling. Ugh. Hopefully we can patch that up so it doesn't look as hideous as it does now. And oh, my recommendation - DON'T USE DRAINO* (* or draino knock-off) to clean old pipes. It is just too destructive (and yet, the pipe is still clogged). Calgon take me away!!

The computer/camera situation is not good. Well, it's not horrible as I thought but it's not good. I've been at J's every night this week trying to get things cleaned up and also trying to reconstruct a reel that he needs for a job interview tomorrow. It's been a nightmare for sure. On Tuesday I was literally banging my head on the table. Not cool. I need a vacation.

So the garage sale is on Saturday - I'm absolutely not prepared. Not at all. We need to price everything, set up tables (borrow some more?) get the twin mattresses out of the basement along with the ancient dryer, Ugh!! I'm hoping that the motivation bug gets me tomorrow. Otherwise I'm in big trouble.

In cat news....Iko sprayed in THE BEDROOM today. This morning! The Boy was still in bed and I was getting dressed and thought awww..Iko is finally joining us - and seconds later, ass in air, tail quivering and urine on the wall. Grrrr. Thank GOD it was the wall and not the new mattress. That would've really pissed me off!

Okay- obviously I'm procrastinating as I really don't want to dig stuff out of the basement....I really really don't. I want to eat junk food, lay on the couch while watching TLC and snooze for 15 minutes or so...*sigh*

**and I can't find my yoga pants!!

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
