I wish we could “like” your posts, Rosie. OP, go with what works for your kids and don’t worry about what others think.

Today: Boy to school ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Post Office ✔️ Bank ✔️ Electronic chores Lunch with a friend ✔️ Pack a snack for Ds and remind Dh about gear drop-off. ✔️ Make dinner - lasagna ✔️ Tutor in person ✔️ Go to Ds’ game - last one I can get to. A week of lacrosse left. Three games. Read and unwind

Praying for your sister, Amy! What does your Dh do at the charter school in the evenings?

Hi y’all. I went to church, ate, played outside, made lists and sent emails, grilled burgers for dinner, and thought about tomorrow. A nice day. Time to read!

@HomeAgain Have a great trip!!

Maybe cross post this on the learning challenges board?

Picked up Ds from work. Sent Dh to get take-out. (Dd and I did not end up getting anything at the international fair.) Got a shower and more water. Going to read and go to bed early!

My mom has had both the super expensive ones and Costco less expensive ones. Costco ones work fine for her. Fit definitely matters. So does fine motor skill. My mom has terrible arthritis and the pricey, small ones were hard for her to hold and get in. She chose a larger style with an over the ear wire the second time around bc they are easier for her to see and handle. ymmv

Wow, slow day on the boards! I hope everyone is outside enjoying a pretty day, or getting a nap, or doing something fun. My hike was good. Strenuous, but not long. I have the badgework planned out and eyeballed our campsite. Will send an email to troop leadership Monday. Took the interstate route back, so I could see Dd. International festival on her campus. Gonna go look at crafts and get food from food trucks.

Good morning! I am having coffee and b’fast, then headed out to a state park for the day. Trying to hold in my mind that the house and kitchen will not be clean or tidy when I come home. Low expectations, then I won’t be disappointed. Dinner is most likely take out from our favorite gyro place. There is a possibility that Dd will be home tonight? Enjoy your day!

Unloaded the dishwasher. Got mom’s tax payment ready to mail. Hoping to get Dh to go to the PO and send it tomorrow. (Signature required. Not sending an important check without any tracking into the USPS void!) I need to spend the day at a state park, planning a hiking badge for 4th-6th grade girls, and hope to be outta here early tomorrow. Park is 2 hrs away. Glad the weather looks nice. Got a lacrosse team dinner planned and on the calendar. Doing a bit of prep cooking. Got some meat out of the freezer. Next up: Get my daypack ready for tomorrow.

Dinner is made. I am just having my lunch leftovers.

@TheReader @mommyoffive I agree. Toddlers were easy! And hilarious. My Ds is not a bad kid, just immature and oppositional. Trying to be patient and remember that I was young and knew everything and made stupid choices once too!

Dinner is gochujang bowls, Ds’ request. Need to cook rice and prep the meat. In school pick up line now. Eta: Boy is grouchy bc of bad grades. Which, of course, are all the teacher’s fault… I’m never gonna make it til this one is launched….SO exhausting. every.single.day

Lovely spring day here! The birds are loud and my rhododendron is getting close to blooming. Today: Shower ✔️ Thrift drop ✔️ YNAB ✔️ Meal planning some Grocery ✔️ Pack up Easter decor Go to mom’s - briefly ✔️ Lunch with friends ✔️ Boy from school to practice (Six more days of lacrosse; three games. Spring football begins 4/30.) Dinner is? Read

Good morning!

I had some intermittent, mild nausea the first few months, but it went away. I feel fine. People taking this drug as Wegovy for weight loss take 4x the amount I take for diabetes, so maybe they have more side effects? Idk.

Exactly. Partly why we homeschooled!

Home from AHG. Third graders were precious at Board of Review! So fun! Did some tidying and organizing. All onboarding hoops jumped through except the background check/fingerprinting, which is early next week. Gonna read and wind down for bed. Looking forward to lunch with friends tomorrow!

Hooray!! I hope it works well for you!! I have not had any supply issues for about a year now.

Got gas Picked up Ds and checked in about homework. Headed to AHG

Groceried. BOGOs at Publix, plus cream for the soup. Brrr! The temperature has dropped 15-20 degrees since this morning. Rain and wind have maple seedlings whirling down.

Did some cooking and had lunch. Did banking, bills, and budget. Working on onboarding documents. Got stuck at the W4, which has to be done through their wizard - punted this to Dh since he just did our taxes and always complains that my witholding is done wrong. More to do when the W4 is complete… Meanwhile having hot tea and reading my book. Need to pick up a couple things at the grocery when I go to get Ds.

It is explicitly stated in our public charter school annual documents that the school has the right to search the student and his belongings (locker, desk, backpack, computer) at any time and without notice. I know the same rules apply at our zoned schools. Maybe this varies by state or school district?
