Mama Is Outnumbered: Done & Dusted

(6/1) I worked from home and Dad had the day off today. He scored a discounted day old orange cream pie while out on his errands, and it was just as delicious as we thought it would be!

(6/2) I worked in the office and Dad was off. He said the boys came home in good moods and visited--without arguing--and I wondered if the school sent home the right kids!

(6/3) Dad and I had a rare day off together. He went and got us breakfast and we got to spend a little time together before I needed to head up and take Nanan for her haircut appointment.

(6/4) It was a work and school day for all of us today. J had an appointment this afternoon and now that it's almost summer, we get to pull back on appointments! Woot!

(6/5) Dad and I both had to work and the boys had school. They're getting so close to being done! I will definitely be relieved when they are and I have one less thing to juggle.

(6/6) I went up to Nanan's to meet a plumber this morning to fix a broken toilet. We've had them on speed dial as of late. Once the plumber was done, C and I did some work around the house and ran to the dump and yard waste disposals. We saw a mama deer with two fawns on our way back. Aww!

(6/7) I didn't get my fill of yard work and headed out to get some mulch for the yard. I worked until my back started barking at me and then sat out back to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

(6/8) I worked a full day from home and then hopped on a zoom for a class afterward. The class was really good, but I sure was glad to turn off my computer by the end of the day!

(6/9) I worked in the building today and Dad was off. It was a day packed with meetings, but it should at least be quiet for the rest of the week.

(6/10) Bleh, I managed to chip a tooth and got to spend the day dealing with the dentist. Fortunately they were able to get me in & patched up, but it definitely wasn't a fun way to spend my day off.

(6/11) It was a work day for Dad and me. The twins turned in their chromebooks yesterday and are officially on summer break! Lucky ducks!

(6/12) We treated the twins to celebratory teriyaki for surviving the year. They are now in high school -- GULP!

(6/13) I did lots of yard work today. I cleaned up the beds in the front yard and got everything mulched. I somehow managed to avoid bringing home clearance roses because I really don't have the room, but I was about this close to trying anyway.

(6/14) Dad and I had a rare Sunday off together. We went up to Nanan's to have brunch with C & F this morning. We brunched out on the back deck and spent the morning hanging out. Dad and C worked on C's truck and hopefully patched 'er up for now.

(6/15) I worked from home today. Shew, it is heating up in our corner of the world! And my crazy child was using his heated blanket.

(6/16) Both Dad and I had to work today. It was pizza day though, and the kiddos were excited for that at the end of the day.

(6/17) I was off today and took the boys separately to WinCo since they are being so dang sweet to each other. Holy cannoli.

(6/18) I worked up at Nanan's while the contractors were out to install some new windows. They turned out so nice!

(6/19) Happy Juneteenth! My office was closed today so Sarah and I were able to go for our walk a little later in the morning. Dad & I thought we had the game room set up just right, but the TV took a flying leap off the bookcase so we ended up doing some rearranging today and I ended up losing my plant shelf. Fortunately, the TV was okay.

(6/20) We celebrated Father's Day today doing what Dad loves most: shopping for cars. Dad found a new ride for the twins (who are fourteen) and arranged with C to help get it home. C & F fixed a delicious dinner of street tacos and we had a lovely evening sitting outside.

(6/21) I had the day off and used it to catch up on some yard work. D was so excited about his trip to RE-PC tomorrow that he kept wishing my weekend away. Patience, my dude!

(6/22) I worked from home and Dad took the twins to RE-PC to look at new (to them) x-boxes. They picked up one they thought they could repair and then came home. J has been looking for new projects to earn some spending money so Dad set him up with a sawzall and had him break down our old furniture to haul away.

(6/23) Both Dad and I worked in the office today. It was pizza day, and Dad was lucky any survived. The teenagers were hungry!

(6/24) Nanan and I had an appointment in my neck of the woods today, so I ran up to get her and we came back to my house afterward. I made us all a lunch and then we ended up sitting outside to enjoy the afternoon. C offered to pick her up on his way home to save me the drive. He stayed for a bit and taught J some basic woodworking skills before they left.

(6/25) I worked from home today and Dad worked at work. J had a quick medical appointment this morning and we snuck in a quick run to WinCo before I got back to it.

(6/26) I worked from home and Dad was off. He and the twins ran errands and D found some new games to play.

(6/27) Sarah and I took a class at the gym this morning and then I came home to weed the hell strip. This afternoon, D, C, F & I all went up to meet my brother's fam's new pupper and celebrate my nephew's 6th grade graduation. Omg, their puppy is so cute! We hung out for a few hours and stopped by Nanan's on the way home. Lots of socializing today!

(6/28) Dad and I had the day off and got to sleep in a little. We met C midday to go grocery shopping and that was our entertainment for the day. Yes, we are that exciting! Other than that, I did some yard work and got the thyme bed all weeded. Love it when it's all in bloom!
