I liked Ted Lasso but wasn't a super fan or anything. Incredibly stoked for tonight though. Need some positive vibes.
2 days into middle school, 0 meltdowns. Also she walks to and from school and hasn't gotten lost or stolen. Crushing it.
Kid 2, the most social of the bunch, is dressed and ready for the bus. Sitting by the door tapping her foot ready to roll.
One great thing about the girls sleeping til 8 for the past couple of months is that I've been able to get up at a completely reasonable 6:30-7 and have some me time. Me time moves to 5 tomorrow and it's gonna wreck me.
Kid 2 has a very wiggly tooth. Floppy. She's currently deciding whether her fear of it falling out in her sleep outweighs her fear of me pulling it. Watch this space.
Played with a pup, got some pool time, final prep for 1st day of school, early dinner. Good day.
FIL is back from a month long work trip and is bringing donuts. The kids don't know. They're used to seeing him about every day. Pretty exciting times over here.
Kid 1 decided last minute that she wanted to play softball this fall and abandon dance. Fantastic. Love it. But her glove was already too small. Not enough time to break in a new one. Went to Play It Again, got a better fit, full leather, broken in glove for ~50% of retail. Dub.
Excellent evening: tidying up the kitchen, beer, folding laundry, early aughts playlist.
Found out today that Kid 3 has the same pre-k teacher that Kid 1 had in 2019 and we're stoked.
Kid 1 got her middle school schedule today and she only has PE for one quarter this year. That blows my mind.
the fact that we have to basically re-register our kids every yr for the same public school system they've attended for 5+ yrs and provide electric bills and mortgage statements and driver's licenses and grandparents' mother's maiden names and favorite colors and a rectal exam is pretty tiresome
Kid 1 asked to play catch and she was popping the mitt. Excited for the fall season.
If we're doing "fav movies on in the background while piddling around", it's Interstellar time

Kid 1 has no camp this week, no spending the day at grandma's house, nothing. Mrs and I are busy with wfh, Kid 2 is at dance, and 3 is at daycare. She's basically getting 8hrs/day with her books for a week. As an introverted bookworm she couldn't be happier.
