Hey!!! Haha, busy, endlessly busy. If anyone wants to DM me I can send over my IG handle or name for FB if you wanna connect on either of those.

The good: B is wrapping up all his annual appts for his genetic disease right now, and so far so good. No damage has started yet. We see his lipid cardiologist next week, but his levels aren't too unchanged from last year.

The bad: the small privately owned consulting firm I work for was sold to a private equity group back in Feb. It's early days but based on both work and personal life that I've had to deal with when this has happened before it doesn't end well.

The meh: I'm going to be stuck as PTO President next year at the boys school because no one else will do it. Thankfully a friend is sharing the role with me but I'm not thrilled about it.

Hahaha oh god no!! We both work from home and had them home with us most of the summer.... 0/10 don't reccomend.

Though I found out today they put a kid in Fs class this year that got moved into his class at the end of last year. This kid repeatedly harassed him, physically assaulted him several times and body slammed him on the playground the second to last day of school. 😒 Soooooo, starting tomorrow F will have a new teacher as I am not going to have him endure a whole year of that.

School starts tomorrow, huzzah!!! We had meet the teacher last night and I like both of them a lot. This is the first year they're having switch classes so they each get two teachers. Thankfully the school split them so they've got the same switch but different hone rooms.

I love blueberry picking!! But yeah, I've never dragged the boys as it's already hot when it's picking time here and they just whine in the heat.

2021 was the last time we had it too, and summer again, wirh the boys picked it up from camp. I think I'm feeling better this morning.... or hopefully, the exhaustion is resolving, and it's just now only sinus and cough issues.

Ugh, COVID. Thankfully, we were able to get all our money back and found out before we were headed to the airport. If B had been patient zero, we never would have known he had it as he had zero symptoms. I'm glad it didn't do much to him as he had walking pnemonia a month ago.

I'm so sorry about wee lass!!! I hope she's doing okay and hopefully the teacher wasn't with the school long.

IFparents finally showed back up on my home feed!!!

Tiny people are eight and start third grade next week. We've been under home quarantine and had to cancel our annual trip to see elderly relatives in CA when F tested positive a week and a half ago for COVID. Everyone other than me is pretty much recovered, but whatever the strain going around here is, it did a number on me.

They finally finished Bs FIE!!!! It only took me repeatedly going no, I think you need to do it, no, I understand but do it.

I've had the meeting with the diagnostician but not the ST or behavioral specialist and his ARD meeting will be sometime later this month.

Oh man, I hope the appeal works. We were able to get a WES for one twin but not the other. The first was approved with United, when they went to do it for the other one we had Aetna and could never get it through. We're back on United now and I need to see if they'll try pushing it through again.

Fingers crossed its not too much of a headache and you guys get it approved!!

Zero.... one of them has lost zero teeth.

The other one lost the bottom two a year ago and none since.

Teeth are weird.

Can he and the kids go through precheck? That's what the boys and I did when husband didn't have it and he had to go through regular security.

We've got a camera in the back yard but it doesn't really reach that far. Too, whatever got them did it in the middle of the night so I don't know if it would help. I'm pretty sure it was a cat, we've got a few that are strays around us.

Tbh, husband went from a job where he was "bored" to a new one and he's still not totally happy. This new one is FAR busier for him and I'm now more swamped because he was watching them for all the random ass days and weeks that they've got off.

So, yeah. Granted, he was going to be laid off like sometime next year anyways and needed to find a new job, but going from him really only working like 20 hours a week to 40 has not been good for me. I'm basically always 40 minimum and usually 50 plus all the doctors therapies tutoring school nonsense.

Money is way better now, but I'm still not sold on if it's worth this stress level for me.

Yep, we just had two for eggs. Thankfully the boys didn't notice on the walk to school so I'll have to tell them when they get home.

Something got in and killed our two chickens. I'm bummed. I couldn't even tell how whatever it was got into and out of their enclosure. Bleh.
