And Buc-ee's. And decent tacos. I don't miss the heat or the traffic or the crime. Oldest is still homeschooling full-time. He refuses to go to community college classes early and I'm grinding my teeth about that, because free. Younger son is now a full blown teenager (stinky, braces, ball cap, carnivorous black hole of an appetite) and is going to school part-time with a 1:1 aide and I homeschool him for core subjects. Both daughters are in public school for now. (Youngest is in kindy!) I'd like to bring the girls back home in a couple of years when Oldest graduates and younger son is manageable, but my RA kicks up when my stress does and so I am triaging for now and wallowing in all of the mom guilt that comes with not being all things to all people. We put 8,000 miles on our vehicle in the last two months. Elderly relatives on both sides of the family had crazy hijinks. Way more back story on those, but not for the forums, iykwim. Oh, and I met Slache. She is awesome IRL, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew. The dr. said they didn't detect any bacteria, but the white cell count was up, and from all dd's symptoms (she feels perfectly fine except for the bathroom symptoms), she decided it was a UTI. They're going to send the sample to the super duper lab to have it tested some more. I have to go pick up the medicine in a couple minutes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 A new goat would be the first thing to get the axe. ? I (mostly) balanced the checkbook and (mostly) paid the bills. And now I'm having an Ale-8. I also vacuumed the piano a bit and cleaned the keys. And vacuumed the floor. Mostly. And ate lunch. And had decaf. And took breaks in between each thing. From now on I'm going to take a shower and get ready before I take ds to algebra on Thursdays (leave the house at 7:15). Doing it when I get home gives me violent tendencies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
