Is it summer yet?

I knew you were a natural back in your nature center days. So proud of you. Middle school teaching isn’t for the weak, especially post Covid. 😘

Would a Walmart Plus subscription work for you? I think you can get it for like $50 a year around Black Friday. My mom uses it weekly for grocery delivery and loves the 2 day shipping from there too.

We broke down last night when the inside thermostat hit 59.

It’s why we don’t all go as a family to a kid’s tournament. Admission fees are anywhere from $15-$25 a person. That’s $100! Nope. Just one parent will be going.

My team of 6th grade teachers leaned in and made 67 jerseys that we all wear weekly.

Look there too for some cheaper long cardigans. I found if I can keep my rear end covered more, I stay warmer.

Also, not what you asked, but look into an off brand comfy. It’s the 2025 version of a Snuggy. I love mine.

That first full week is always a doozy, no matter what you do. Enjoy your weekend!

“I learned about it in college. And aren’t your schools’ grades weighted? Your middle schooler has told me about it.”

My non-teacher sister answered correctly. “It’s when one test is worth more towards your final grade than other smaller things. Assignments are given a certain percentage of your overall grade.”

If we could, I’d have you send it our way. We have brown grass and corn that is maybe lower-calf height. It’s usually waist high by now. We are going on year 3 of a moderate drought.

Amazon and Old Navy too. We are aiming for “2005ish era volleyball beach wear” here aka a sports bra and full coverage bottoms for a style. (Soon to be 14 and 11 year old girls here)

Supposedly there is going to be a new $1.50 flat tax on any delivery that is funding Chicago public transit. I’ve also seen that was shot down by the state Senate, so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

The other big thing is wearing clean clothes. They can’t live in the same pair of pajama pants and hoodie for an entire week this time of year, either.

Oh, this is awesome! Congrats!

We had a 7th grader do it and make his laptop smoke yesterday.

I bent over to pick up something from the floor and got heartburn. My period wasn’t due for 3 more days. I only get heartburn when I’m pregnant.

We are big fans of the Minocqua/Boulder Junction/Manitowish Waters area. We have friends who go to Hayward and the Dells too. (The Dells is much more of a tourist trap and will be significantly more expensive).

Rent a cabin on a lake in Northern Wisconsin! That’s anywhere from 6-8 hours away from you, but so much fun to swim, fish, boat, etc.

If she had some sort of ostomy bag, they would have staged a picture by now since it’s coat season of her riding along to pick up the kids from school. Or at home where it’s hidden.

Inpatient wouldn’t allow staged pictures.
