  1. Dinner was good. Dh cleaned up. Dishwasher and laundry are running. Ds has a college visit tomorrow with his school, so no homework tonight. Possibly more due later in the week, but I am glad for a restful evening. I am enjoying my book! Having some hot tea and reading til I fall asleep.
  2. Surely schools will have to extend their decision day due to the lack of financial info?
  3. Rx wasn’t ready. Picked up Ds from practice. Headed home to make dinner.
  4. Stopped by my church job to do a couple things and sit down with a cup of tea for a few minutes.
  5. @TravelingChris Sorry for the plumbing headaches!! Water stuff is huge.
  6. @TravelingChris Good morning! Amy started a tackle thread an hr or so ago. She was super early today!
  7. Good morning! Boy to school ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Meal planning ✔️ Grocery ✔️ Tutor online ✔️ Take a meal to a friend with a badly broken arm ✔️ Walk? Pick up Rx Remind Dh to pick up Ds ✔️ Tutor in person ✔️ Dinner is tofu stir fry and egg rolls.
  8. Did some housekeeping and prep for tomorrow. Ate leftovers. Texted a bit, talked to MIL on the phone. Gonna get a snack and read. @TravelingChris Glad you had fun at the show!
  9. Dh does ours; they are simple and he uses TurboTax
  10. @HomeAgain Ah, yes, the tight NE social fabric. Btdt, the boarding school version. The shifting of friendships is indeed a normal growing up thing, but the meanness hurts. And the awareness of how much better community (nevermind education!!) Ds could have had if he’d homeschooled. Lost opportunity.
  11. We’ve been to church and to my sister in law’s for lunch. Helped Dd with some forms for her summer job. She’s headed back to school shortly. Became aware this afternoon that one of my son’s friends has moved on, dropped Ds like something that smells bad, and was really mean about it. Former friend runs with cooler, far wealthier, people than us. Sad for my boy. 😢😢💔 He would have had such nice community and friends if he’d homeschooled. But he won’t. Everything is hard for this kid. So very hard.
  12. Ds just called my dinner “ick”. 😠 Good thing he’s leaving for work momentarily. Dd just texted that she’s eating at her friend’s.
  13. Yes, this was me with Dd. Occasionally a cup did work, but she would never take a bottle of any kind. 🙄🙄
  14. Booked a cute cottage in NC for Dd’s week off from camp this summer. We’ll sleep late, eat good food, read, watch movies, explore and shop a bit, maybe hike too. Should be a fun getaway. I am sad that a family trip will not work this summer, but young adults and teens have plans and sometimes everything doesn’t synch. Plus we have budget constraints. Planning a fall break trip that Dh will enjoy, since he won’t get much vacation this summer.
  15. Coffee cake is yummy! Took some to a neighbor. Irish soda bread is in the oven. Discussed summer plans with Dh and I think we are in agreement.
  16. Groceries and gift cards are put away. Coffee cake is baking. Added potatoes and carrots to the crock pot. Making lunch now Might put up my hammock and read outside!
  17. Congratulations! Does she know what she wants to study? We have several friends with kids in the Flagship program for Chinese there and also some in nursing or education. All have had good experiences and graduated with jobs and no debt.
  18. My MIL adamantly did not want a grandma name; she just wanted to be called by her first name, Linda. Well, the first grandchild (now 29) could not manage the L and MIL became Nina (short i, schwa a) after all. 😆😆 All the grands have called her Nina while they were kids.
  19. Yes, sure. Assuming he knows and will follow basic safety rules. I would not have left my Ds with computer access nor would I expect much work to get done.
  20. I slept late again. Last real day of SB, as I work at church on Sundays and need to be early. And Dd will go back to school tomorrow afternoon. I started the corned beef in the crock pot and restarted the laundry. The air is cool, but the sun is lovely and warm today. I have coffee. Things to do: Buy a gift card ✔️ Recycle glass ✔️ Car wash? Not today Call in Rx refill ✔️ Grocery ✔️ Call mom ✔️ Remember to add veggies to crock pot later! ✔️ Maybe put up my new tent? Dinner is corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Possibly bread too? ✔️
  21. @mom31257 That does sound yummy! I got some habanero infused sugar last summer that is amazing on grilled pineapple. We’ve always just had it as a side, but it would be good on a grilled chx sandwich too. Dinner out was fine. Tazikis. Five people for $80, not bad. Ds will be hungry in a couple hrs, but that is normal for him! Definitely in a growth spurt. Finished some laundry. Gonna watch the last two episodes of ACG&S with Dd.
  22. Hmmmm. Checked the menu at the place I’d picked to eat tonight. Prices are way too steep; I don’t want my mom to pay that much. Might shift to a less expensive place!
