I hope everyone had a good weekend! We enjoyed the fall weather and spent a lot of time outside. The boys went to my moms lake house with DH and I did a nice long brunch outside with some friends.
MIL ordered Ds1 the embroidered uniform shirts for his school since I just had him in a few cheap white polos since we couldn’t afford the actual uniform shirt. They should arrive today and I know he will be so excited to have the same shirts as his friends.
Does anyone know if Ds2 turns 3 on September 13 but district rules say 3 by September 1, is there any way I can get him into school at 2 weeks shy of 3? Is that not a good idea for some reason?
DD was just sent home from school with HFM. Lovely.
DH and I took the kids to the HS football game on Friday because the kids held flags on the field for their elementary school. Afterwards tons of kids were running around. Our 3rd grader mentioned that another kid was being chased by 4th graders. DH thank god broke up the fight as about 8 boys were just starting to kick the 3rd grader who they pulled to the ground with his hood. The principal is calling DH to get the story, but DH doesn't know any of the older boys names.

You’d have to ask the district.
Some will test Kids in if they’re close. In my area, our friend’s daughter’s bday is 9/9 the cut off is 9/1, she had to start a year behind. Her mom elected to find a private school with different rules.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
namasteak, as far as I know, our district does not allow exceptions to the September 1 rule, but you could always call and find out if yours does.
We had a nice weekend. Ran errands on Saturday, picked up the girls' Halloween costumes (Moana and a pineapple), went to the pumpkin patch, tried not to die from exhaustion due to a teething baby and inexhaustible preschooler, you know. The usual. L had a great time at the Spirit of Halloween store - she LOVES all of the scary/gross decorations and animatronics, and I seriously don't know where she gets it from, because H is not a big Halloween person and I was afraid of Halloween until I was like 10. lol.
I'm scheduled to work this coming Saturday, and I am trying to figure out if I want to, or if I want to see if someone wants to work for me. It's straight overtime, so I know someone will take it if I offer, but... it's straight overtime. Ha. I will probably keep it.

My face has broken out beyond belief. I don't know if it's the difference in water here vs. Seattle or what? We have lived here for over 3 months, so I would have thought my skin would have adjusted by now, but it is actually getting worse. I mean, I have huge zits all over my face. I don't know what to do. I already use medicated face wash/face products. I'll be 40 next month. FORTY with a face full of zits. Boo.
My weekend was kind of lame. My birthday was Saturday. DS told me that morning that he was going to "ruin my birthday." He refused to nap and was a whiny, melting down mess the entire day. The only thing I requested to do was that we go to the pumpkin patch, but he couldn't get it together so we didn't go. Then DH had an IBS flare up and so I solo parented the entire afternoon/night.
Yesterday was better as DS was in a better mood and we finally did get to the pumpkin patch. I still solo parented most of the afternoon so DH could watch football, but DS and I actually had fun just playing outside.
Now I want a day off to recover from my weekend lol.
It finally feels like fall here and the sun is out. I want to go on a bike ride, but I have a million things to do tonight.
One is grocery shopping. And Kroger near my house has Click List. I love it, but I feel so lazy using it. But that may be how I get my groceries for the week - if I can figure out what I need.
I was in the US last week and have a major case of jetlag. Last weekend was filled with concerts and dinner parties so I was only able to sleep in yesterday.
It's been really hard keeping my eyes open today...
calamity, holy shit. I'm glad your H was there. Good lord!
I'm sitting here trying to meal plan. Such a weird feeling not working anymore. I've already boxed some stuff up to donate and unloaded the DW. That sounds like nothing, I admit, but not working is a whole new thing for me. I kind of want to nap. Except I need to figure out food & go to the grocery store.
I know, right zoomzoom ? DH was saying they were like a pack of wolves and feeding off each other.
They are that age where parents start to give them freedom to run around with their friends, etc... but I will be even more cautious moving forward. DS thankfully told us what was going on, and was not involved in the fight at all.
OMG OMG OMG DH is finally coming home tomorrow night. He'll have been gone exactly six weeks. He gets in past the kids' bedtime, but I think I might pack them up and meet him at the airport anyway. It'll be more fun, and then they can sleep in the next morning and skip before care, and he can get them ready and take them to school.
I on the other hand, will be able to get up, get ready, and go to work without having to worry about anyone else for the first time in freaking forever.
I am working on an assignment for my paralegal class and I hate it. We need to draft a motion for a case we make up. They want us to be "creative" with it, example they used was 7 dwarves v. Snow white in a labor dispute.
This is not a creative writing class, I don't really want to pull this out of my ass. I feel like this is what happens when you live in Los Angeles and are surrounded by failed actors/writers/etc.

I did something very similar for a Philosophy class. I felt the same way. It ended up being cute, but I stressed about the topic for a few hours!

I'm really glad H made me go out Sat. I really needed the mental break from the kids. We had a great evening,
Allie made us the most awesome gift. It's an exploding box. When you pull the top off the bottom falls apart. She glued pictures of H and I and little sayings. It's the best gift ever.
Myles ate carrots last night. I know this sounds ridiculous, but he litterally eats nothing but carbs. The fact he ate a raw vegetable is amazing. He asked for it and I ran with it.
The HP thread just reminded me that today was the day to get an access code for Cursed Child if you were going to get one. I didn't get an email, so I guess I don't get to buy tickets
I finally resolved to fill my zoloft rx and ugh. I used a mail order pharmacy connected to my insurance and they are in process or changing over to Walgreens and it has been messed up over and over. It is going on at least 3 weeks and I am struggling.
DH and I are going to pick up our brand new Toy Hauler today! I’m so freaking excited, we’ve been waiting for over 12 weeks for this thing (had to be ordered direct from the factory). I also go back to work tomorrow after having been off for over 2 weeks for our vacation. I’m legit dreading it.
I'll be 40 next month. FORTY with a face full of zits. Boo.
Change that to 30 and this is me. Fuck man. It's worse than when I was 16. WHYYYYYY?!?! And my face is so sensitive that every time I've tried RX stuff, it's ended up a complete disaster.

I almost cried when Xavier (7) started eating pasta and Mac and cheese. IT’S NOT EVEN HEALTHY. but it’s a new food that I actually eat at dinner so I’m thisclose to not having to me 79383 meals every night.

I am totally geeking out. The Supernatural convention is here in 2 weeks and I got tickets for the Sunday panel to see Jared and Jensen SQUEEEEE and after them is Ruth McConnell. I am dragging my H. This is a bucket list item.
My MIL is joining the CUNEXTTUESDAY club for me. How come when I'm nice and invite people over for dinner it becomes some sort of competition? DH's aunt and uncle were visiting who we love and we invited them and MIL and her husband to dinner Saturday. Mostly because it's easier with a kid than going out and we could visit.
OMG MIL was so competitive with DH's aunt about kid stuff and then starts stirring shit up between DH and his brother.
LOOK LADY-you were a terrible mother. You're a not so great grandmother. The fact that your son has distanced himself from his hot mess of a family is a good thing. It's really not a good thing that your oldest son is almost 50, has to work 2 jobs to stay afloat and thinks hand outs are how to get by. Oh and what # 401k loan is he on?
The only positive is DH sees her for real more and more which means we see them less and less.

It will vary by district to be honest. If sending early now would roll right into kindergarten that might give me pause. Some kids do just fine as the youngest in the class in K/1st/2nd but other kids find it more challenging. Many elementary schools have increased the demands on young students.
hocus2 I wanted him to go to PK3 next year, then pk4, and then Kinder. I thought to call my sister (a teacher in the district) and she said it is like 99% not going to happen. I think we’ll keep him in his small private pk next year and just go up to 3 days a week:
I had a d&c/hysteroscopy/polyp removed 9/1 cause I had been bleeding for 7 months and I had 2 glorious weeks of feeling normal and now have had the absolute worst bleeding in my life for the last 20 days..while on provera every day. And the Tylenol 3 I was prescribed does shit all.
I am so frustrated and annoyed with all of this. I just want to feel normal. I am sick of feeling gross all.the.time. And I have moved far past "this is midly inconveniencing me" to "just fucking stooop already"
