Happy Birthday, Mother!

Arie of the Yellow Sedai variation. Boring. *cries* I've hit the lull point of every day is the same and there is no variety in life, just a different child argument (maybe). I had hoped to go camping multiple times by now with family (because I own no equipment and my parents always have extra).. but alas, I can't go camping without spending a lot of money on tents and cooking supplies, etc.... and I'd be doing it alone with the kids. Yeah, this summer is the pits. 😞

*grins*

Most excellent, welcome!! 😄 Beware, my mentee's do corrupt.

Welcome @Sammuel!

40 isn't too far off, but i have another *things* 3 years.... lol. They are offering parents a choice of 100% online, or a one week home one week at the school with super limited access outside the classroom, including no outside play in large groups. Among other things. It's not terrible, but we're likely opting for the 100% online for the first semester. How it will affect the one with ADHD that has an IEP who NEEDS the social learning more than the book learning... thats the major concern. I may offer to play 'art teacher' to the kids on the street when i have the energy to. Empathic-ness is a draining b!!ch.

We just got our district 'plan' for the k-12 kids. Mine are going into 2 & 3 respectively, and though I knew it was coming i'm not sure I am prepared with enough information not make decisions. Especially since we have to decide by Aug 10 if we are going fully online or not. 😕 fubared.

Welcome @Turtle to the Club!

4. I feel so tired and drained these days it is a challenge to find motivation and energy to even do weekly tasks knowing its the same thing every week. dishes, laundry, cook. Life has become so monotonous that my physical response is to just sleep until its over. like i do when i'm in pain. being a sahm has its ups and downs, but its pretty limiting with small children that fight wearing masks and want to 'go do something' that often includes public areas. 😛 bleh.

😞 I'm sorry, that is really frustrating! *huds* *rubs hands together* Pity there are only so many Algai to pick on......

I have Cairma and Conor floating about, when I remember to reply to threads. 🙂 You're welcome to hit them up too.

*stabs back* I approve of a good stab deserves another... and another. *stabs again for good measure*

*nearly chokes on her cider but chooses not to rebuttle* Good thing this one isn't taking an oath not to lie. 😛
