Happy News- Our Girl Scout troop was on the news for their fundraising efforts for a good cause! I'm being a little vague here so it isn't super obvious.
Dear DH,
I'm glad you saw the light on our argument yesterday. I know you are trying to get this project done. Afterwards, we really need to talk about our future strategy because if we aren't adding on the bathroom for 8 billion dollars, than I would like to add on our patio which will be much cheaper.
Bad news that turned into happy news - As I was working the polls yesterday, an older woman lost control of her car and drove into the building I was in. I ran to the police station next door to have them come. Then I grabbed some paper towels to help the passenger who ended up with a pretty major laceration on the top of her head. I held the paper towels to her wound while we waited for the medics to arrive. She was upset that she was going to miss voting because she had never missed an election before. So I told her that we could fix that. I got the other poll worker to grab a ballot and we filled out an assistance form so we could scan the ballot for her (I totally followed the voting process for PA). Once the medics came, they began treating her and I ran inside to scan her ballot. Then I brought her 'I Voted' sticker. She told me it totally made up for her crappy day.
Happy news- I finally have a glasses prescription from my doctor even though I have to have a follow up surgery to my cataract surgery in a few months. They wanted to wait because my prescription could change after the surgery, but I told them I hate driving when I can’t see worth a crap out of one eye. I’m going today to pick out frames and order glasses. I’m so excited!
DS seems to be doing a little better on his new medicine. He at least seems less depressed. I’m not sure we have a high enough dose to help with concentration, but that’s easily fixed and the doc said we can adjust after 3-5 days if he tolerates it well.
mommyatty, I have a super simple prescription and used eyebuydirect.com for my glasses. They have inexpensive frames and the last pair I bought have held up really great. I just got my eyes exam and I ordered glasses and prescription sunglasses for under 90. I ordered last Thursday and they should arrive early next week. 186momx
Dear mom and DD I'm this close to just leaving you at home and not taking you with us to tax conference tomorrow. Stop making everything complicated. Me
Dear Gym Coaches I wish you could share your game plan for DD. I know a lot of it revolves around how quickly DD gets skills but I would love to know what you are thinking. Confused by all the different coaches inputs Gym mom
We have a Covid outbreak in the middle school. We’ve all been remote for five days. It’s not unreasonable to ask everyone to test to return. When you refuse, you’re only hurting your kid — we have to treat him as a positive case, and since you also don’t vaccinate, he has to be on a 10 day quarantine. Is that really better than 30 seconds of a swab up the nose, even though you think it’s “unnecessary and invasive”?

Dear children, This new bed is off limits unless you are invited! And it is NOT a wrestling mat like the old mattress. That’s why our old mattress sucks so much! Beau’s son - I’m looking at you kid. Wrestle dad in your own room on the beanbag mattress. Leave my beautiful new bed alone! Signed, Setting boundaries
PS- Beau this goes double for you. Take the wrestling somewhere else!
