Tired Monday

Wishing everyone a good day, hope daylight savings doesn’t wreak (too much) havoc

DS broke his wrist in gym class on Friday morning. He’s thankfully not in too much pain (and it was his non dominant hand so he’s still able to do a lot of the basics), but we adjusted our weekend a bit. Is it wrong that the biggest thing that stood out for me was that it happened at school, aka exH couldn’t blame me? He’s of course furious with the school, claims he’s suing the district + the gym teacher, etc…he just needs to place blame no matter what has happened. But it’s not my fault woohoo

Pajama day at school and it’s nice. Kind of a wild week at work, so just trying to coast through.

Oh poor kiddo!  And for the X--I guess this is at least a new direction for him?   Is the school familiar with how he is?  I'm guessing they will be even if it's a short time.

Had a quietish weekend.  Chiquita was at a Girl Scout conference in RI which she LOVED.  She came home and was a chatterbox for a solid 25 minutes showing me all the stuff she got, the swaps (each girl can make a small pin you can put on your vest that is representative of her troop. Some girls from northern states had swaps with mini maple syrups!) .  I wound up being the sub cantor for the Saturday vigil masses and met the new music director which was nice.  

Sunday Chiquita came home and we did dinner and a movie and showed the kids The Sound of Music.  The movie holds up and hopefully it's now not foreshadowing.   No one was tired so it took us all a while to fall asleep but the kids have no school as a "snowflake day" - basically this was a place holder and if we had more snow days - it would have been a school day but luckily it's not.  Now Chiquita is sleeping , I got a mini workout in and I'm at my desk.

We had a trash weekend. I was supposed to see The Wiz on Friday but baby J slipped, hit his head and it split open so he had to get checked out. He’s okay but it was scary. Then yesterday M tested positive for Flu A. Excellent. So excellent. 

At least we have OTC flu tests and his pediatrician called in tamiflu last night for him and baby J so yah. Things are great.

Hello from Turks & Caicos! We’re just getting ready to deboard for our excursion but not much happening before that. I’m rooming with my aunt. I love her. We get along great… but then she goes overboard on her liquor and her vibe doesn’t match the rest of us (mom, dad and myself). So around 7 ish at night, I get annoyed and snippy back at her. We’re fine during the day though. 

Love that Chiquita is so into it! @banana468
your ex is STILL a word in my head I’m not going to say outloud @ei34. So sorry for DS though. I hope he heals quickly.
@charlotte989875 what a weekend! You. Need. A. Break.

Oh jeez I’m sorry about baby J’s fall @charlotte989875, it’s one thing after another for you guys 😣

Yay for a fun GS weekend @banana468 and Turks & Caicos @CharmedPam and haha I have a lot of words in my head for him too!  Banana I tipped off the school SW who knows the kids (and exH’s ways) well and she said she’d let the appropriate people know.

Sounds like they'll be prepared for him.  I feel like most schools have had plenty of experience with parental issues and are equipped to handle shenanigans.

Ugh I’m so sorry @ei34. It’s hard enough to have a serious accident and see your kid in pain without someone else’s shenanigans. 

*hugs* and quick healing vibes @charlotte989875

I hope you have fun overall on your trip! @charmedpam

I am exhausted today. I spent the weekend at my Grandparent’s and it was emotionally draining. Grandma is very very snippy right now, even at me, and I understand it and I don’t take it personally and can even laugh a lot of it off but it still is a lot of emotional energy. I called my cousin who is closest to Grandpa yesterday because my aunt said she didn’t think the other grandkids really understand the seriousness and I felt like I broke my cousin’s heart sharing the news. She is the youngest and this would be her first close loved one’s passing. But she’s flying down today and I think that’s really good and it’s going to make Grandpa ecstatic. I’m second banana over there, haha. 

Otherwise I have a laser treatment today and I’m getting my car serviced. The appointments are awkwardly spread out so I walked to the gym in between. I think I’m about to give up and ask the franchise hair salon next door to wash my hair for $10 because doing it later feels daunting. Then I plan on going home, getting ready for the week and then doing absolutely nothing the rest of the day.

That's a lot going on @levioosa and your poor grandmother is probably going through stages of grief all over the place.  You have the patience of saints and I hope that's something you're processing.  Many people do not have the cognition you do about what's going on physically and emotionally.  Looking back I think of my own grandmother's passing 10 years ago and how my mom and her older sister had two very different approaches which didn't work.

@ei34 i'm glad your son is doing ok and EXH's anger is not directed at you
@charlotte989875 sending all the things - you guys need a break for sure
@levioosa hope your grandparents enjoy seeing your cousin and things stay peaceful for a bit

weekend was good. Saturday was neice's 3rd bday party most of the day, yesterday worked out then met IL's for brunch and they came over most of the day. Early dinner and attempted early bed time (lol). Everyone slept til 7 today but boys were great about getting ready and out the door by 7:45.

@ei34 hope your son isn't in pain by now and that exH doesn't make anymore of a fool of himself! @charlotte989875 you guys do really need a break. Hope the kiddos feel better soon.

I'm in Florida on my book club's annual trip. We arrived late yesterday afternoon. With all the things happening with air travel recently, I was a bit nervous to fly. I've never been nervous about flying in my entire life. Anyway, looks like good weather this week. I didn't pack well though because I just couldn't get into it!

DS2 closes on his house on Friday. Looks like everything is falling into place for him. I'm still stalking FB marketplace for stuff for him.
