This weekend I got a bike ride in and a lake swim. WE also threw my niece a going away party and so I spent a gazillion hours with my kids at the pool and we all took naps yesterday. Kindergarten starts Monday for DS but it's same room, same teacher so it doesn't feel like a change.
I'm kind of upset that the only day I'm taking off is Friday when day care is closed. I'd rather spend more of the last days of summer doing fun stuff.
I'm home with a sick toddler, just like Friday. We went to urgent care on Sunday because she was just getting worse, after seeing the ENT on Friday . She got tubes last Monday, and those look good, but she definitely picked up something gross. She has one super swollen lymph node, and is a crying ball without Advil. I feel bad for her, but also have some deadlines I'm about to miss.
Vent: Work is trying to keep me distracted from my real life. I have a deal going sideways. My boss refuses to admit it. My recommendation is to liquidate now, his is to keep persevering. I'm 95% sure that in committee tomorrow, we get told to liquidate, in which case I either I lose either way in terms of perception, since making the recommendation goes against my boss, and making his recommendation goes against what I'm sure committee will suggest.

Celebration: back to school!
Normally I don't send the little on my day off but they wanted everyone there for the "first day" (her room is more of a daycare and was closed for a week as opposed to the summer break of the pre-k and up, but okay) and so I had time to pressure wash the patio, clean car seats and get my car detailed. Plus lunch with H. Awesome. No vents. DD1 loved kindergarten.
Celebrations: We close on the new house tomorrow and everything the builder needed to fix has been fixed and is ready to go.
Vent: I will be drunk by the end of unpacking as my mom is helping me. She is going to be great and getting things done but she asks way to many questions and has too many opinions at times.

Yay for the new house.
The last time we moved, my MIL helped. We gave her specific tasks that didn't require too many questions or suggestions. Like, clean the kitchen drawers and cupboards, or put the pots and pans here any way you want.

I know I'm a day late, but we just got back from a long weekend camping trip a few hours away. So of course I have tons of laundry and stuff that needs to get put away.
Not really a vent, but we woke up to super sad news on Monday. One of the restaurants in our town (small town) burned down yesterday - the fire started early morning. It was well-known outside our town and people would come from all over the place to try the hot dog eating challenge to get on the wall. It was DD's favorite restaurant. She cried when I told her it burned down. We have a strong sense of community in my town (one of the reasons I love it), and other restaurants in town have offered shifts to servers and kitchen staff while the restaurant is rebuilt. There are other fundraisers planned too (another restaurant has one this week and a t-shirt sale was already posted).
My celebration is that we were camping at one of our favorite places over the weekend - Mackinaw City. We go up to camp for a long weekend every year, and then go to Mackinac Island one of the days we're there.
I feel like I'm drowning this week. DD has PT twice, a visit to the orthopedist, I had to get the 504 letter from the ped, DD sees the neuro today and I have to WORK. It's feeling relentless right now. How bad is it that I'm absurdly happy that middle has a sleepover tonight so I have to handle one fewer child? Thursday we meet the potential afternoon sitter. Cross your fingers for us!
And DD didn't bring her hair brush back from her Dad's again so I am buying another one but it will never leave this house. Third brush, and she will only use a wet brush. So she looks homeless today. It's packed in her Dad's bag. Last time it was in his swim bag and he told her not to worry that she'd get it later. Ugggghhhh!
I think I have another hernia. I'm ready to cry stressing about it. I felt something "give" about a week ago and am getting the same, localized sharp pain that I got before. So now I have to call the doctor and try to get an appointment to get it checked out. I just paid off the last surgery. We don't have another couple thousand dollars to deal with surgery again. Not to mention my schedule doesn't have room for that. Ugh.

The meeting went very well. I've told my brother from the beginning that selling this agency and passing some of my clients to another agent would be like re-homing a pet. I got such a good vibe from these guys and my clients will be taken care of SO MUCH BETTER than what I'm doing for them. It's an uncle/nephew duo and drunk nephew was a little high on what he said they typically pay for agencies, but we're still looking at a pretty good offer. I would have to work through probably April of next year, but only if my brother gets out too. If my brother continues to work for them, then I could get out sooner I think. I really hope my brother continues to work for them. Not so that I can get out sooner, but I truly believe he could be so successful at this. The amount of resources he would have with them is incredible and he would make almost 3 times the amount of money. Hell, at one point it sounded attractive to me lol.
So, it went well. We are gathering some reports they wanted to look at. I'm also compiling a list of clients that the agent who used to work for me took to give them if this goes through I'm only kind of joking.
