Well, the end of my summer officially sucks. One of my kids has Covid. Thankfully, it's a mild case. So far the rest of us have tested negative. But, the quarantine is going to be the end of me. Since I can't completely isolate from her (someone has to bring her meals and I'm a single parent) I have to quarantine for 14 days - but the 14 days don't begin until after her symptoms are gone. It's August. I'm an educator who can't go to the school until at least the first day of inservice. We are going back face-to-face and I can't even prepare. I'm not trying to make a political statement, but please wear a mask, follow the guidelines. Whether or not you believe the experts, QUARANTINE SUCKS and should be enough of a motivator to follow the guidelines. We were careful. I allowed my daughter to have contact with 3 people this summer (outside of family), and 2 have Covid, plus her. UGH.

Happy August to everyone! I hope that all of you are able to safe.

Happy Eve of August, everyone!

I'm so sorry!

Happy July, everyone! Wishing you all a safe and fun 4th of July weekend. Stay cool!

32 years since I graduated from high school. And you know what? I still don't miss 95% of my classmates!

May 31st is here!!! I hope you have a SAFE end to the month.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!!!

I ventured out to Walmart when they opened at 7am. They had plenty of flour but the baking mixes (cake, brownies, etc.) were mainly sold out. In other news, we are under a Winter Weather Advisory for tonight - 2-3 inches of snow. Happy Mothers Day?!?!?!

Brad, I'm honestly okay with whatever. I LOVE my GottaDeal swag!!!

AAAANNNNNDDDDD we have snow flurries currently in Wisconsin. UGH UGH UGH. How is the weather by you?

Happy April, everyone! I'm sure hoping this month is safe for everyone!!!

All Wisconsin K-12 schools will be closed. My district had already announced they were closing for 2 weeks so now with the governor's declaration and Spring Break, we won't have school for a month. WOWZA. Looking at virtual education, have a plan in place for providing meals for the free/reduced lunch kids, but still SOOOOO much to think about!

Happy March! And Happy Daylights Savings Time this weekend. I cannot WAIT for it to stay light out in the evening until 7pm!!!

We haven't had a snow day yet and the kids keep complaining about it.

Greetings from Wisconsin! Where the sun hasn't shone in 2 weeks. I thought I saw the bright light for a moment but it sure didn't last. UGH. I agree that I really don't care who wins the game tomorrow and am really hoping for a good game. Happy February to all!!!

I agree completely. What a long month. I think I've forgotten what the sun looks like!

Is it just me, or does January seem like the longest month ever? UGH it is just dragging along...

Happy New Year everyone! As I begin my 7th decade, I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. #BornIn1969

I wanted to give a big, early "Happy New Year" to all of you. And Brad, thanks for all your hard work!!!

Happy 16th Birthday to my first-born daughter! On 12/12, with a full moon.

Checking in for December! And, I have a TON of Kohl's Cash to spend. Any ideas???
