Roofers just left. Roof isnt exactly leaking, and we dont need new siding for a few more years. Problem is the flashing where the roof and siding meet. It's 1 continuous piece of flashing, and should be 1 piece for each row of shingles going up the roof line. He looked the other side and its the same thing so they will be replacing all of it at once. And it will all be under the warranty so no cost to us. He wasnt sure when it will be since they have to get the materials, but I told him I can wait. I'll keep an eye on the stain on the ceiling and will call if it get exponentially larger in the mean time.

footloose I hope you are having a much better Sunday (and whole weekend) than last week! Has your sleep gotten back closer to your previous normal? If not, are you able to try melatonin, or is it contraindicated due to epilepsy and/or meds for it? (Or any reason) Thinking of you and sending wishes for energy, strength, better sleep and way less drama!

If not, are you able to try melatonin, or is it contraindicated due to epilepsy and/or meds for it? (Or any reason) Thinking of you and sending wishes for energy, strength, better sleep and way less drama! Thanks! I always do take melatonin as have found it can help me fall asleep quicker. Sleep is slightly better in that my deep sleep is increasing- it was down to about 20 mins. I do still wake up many times but seem to fall asleep a bit better and not just stare at the ceiling. I kept myself busy this weekend and did my work out, cleaning, laundry early yesterday and then had the internet guy here to switch it into my name. Also did some meal prep so next week can have basics already cooked and can throw them together. Today did a few more things for the house, walked Tucker, and then made another batch of soap and hard lotion bars. I forgot to say my mom just came over one day when I was home sick and chatted at the door when nothing had happened so it all gets swept under the rug as per in my family. I am going to give this whole batch to my mom for her mother's day present as she loves hand made soaps. This one is a 4 layer soap with increasing shades of pink using pink clay and then sculpting the top into kind of a wave and then sprinling some small rose petals down the middle. I really hope it turns out well!

So BF moved yesterday out of his mom's place. She was driving him crazy and arguing with him every day. Only it is very weird that he rented a room at the end of....my street lol.
It is strange but small town and he didn't have a ton of options. We still talk every day, I feel like he is not so distant now and more open to us in the future. He will call on his break from work and we chat and he sends me nice texts. We were supposed to have our redo dinner to make up for when I had Covid, but he needs more time since he can't be sure if you can still be contagious.
So he asked to take me out to dinner with Peyton next Saturday for my birthday and then yesterday he asked if we wanted to go for a walk in the afternoon beforehand and then change for dinner. I am trying to be understanding as I feel he has some unresolved issues from his past that rear up and can make him pretty depressed and he can't handle them well, so giving him his space and hoping he will want to be together at another time.

Dd1 is home again. She threw up all over her bed last night around 9pm. Since her blankets all needed to be washed she ended up sleeping on the living room floor with the kittens. I took one our window snowflake lights and from our mud room and plugged into an outlet in the living room as a night light. She didn't get much sleep because she said it was too bright, and I'm not used to having lights on in the house while I sleep, so I didn't get much sleep either. Both of us will probably take a nap at some point today. She's feeling much better this morning. I'm pretty sure she just ate too much food. And I can say with certainty that alfredo sauce puke smells worse than hot dog puke.

My allergies are horrible right now. The baby is teething and the last few days has been more fussy than usual. Today he woke up sneezing and snotty. It’s looking like I won’t be getting decent sleep for awhile, again.

I totally forgot to put water in the bowl when I was making my ramen in the microwave yesterday 🤦🏽♀️ I was so mad. I cook and bake all the time, but try to burn the house down making some damn ramen noodles 😔

I’m awaiting covid test results but also possibly have shingles. I feel horrible and DD1 has been vomiting consistently since she got home from school. Save me!

Oh no scout251! I hope you and your dd(s) will turn out to have the least bad possibility, and that it will pass quickly! And I hope if it's shingles it will at least stay contained to a small area. No fun, though.

Thank you. It was good; the smoke detector was just because apparently DD was very exuberant with the cooking spray while greasing the pan. Some dripped.

I’m on vacation right now visiting family. Boy things are different at my parents house. They/my mom have no memory or tolerance for children. The kids keep getting yelled at for being rowdy. It’s not my house, so we follow the rules the best we can. Mom put Ds2 in time out today (5) - he was so shocked. Either he picked up a ball or got up during breakfast .. I can’t remember which. I tried to turn on the tv for them so they would sit still but the remotes are all hidden from children 🤣🤣🤣- Ds is almost 8….and the others are fine too

We are under a tornado warning. The sirens keep going off and I'm sitting in the car rider line to pick up the girls 😬 They haven't let the kids out yet. My office building was evacuated due to a possible tornado. Please send all the good thoughts you can spare.

The severe weather has passed 🙌🏽 just thunderstorms now. Lots of trees and power lines down in surrounding areas, but nothing too serious thankfully.

Yikes lecky being stuck in line of cars at school in a tornado warning sounds very very scary!! I'm so glad you are ok! Does the school have a cellar? Or did they put the kids in the hallway? Or were they just in classrooms?

Or were they just in classrooms? Yes, I got scared at one point because it got really dark and the wind and rain started blowing hard. That passed quickly though. Some parents just left their cars and ran across the parking lot into the school, but I figured I was a little safer in my car. No cellar (basements are very rare here). G had to move into a room with no windows. A was able to stay in her room since she doesn't have windows. More storms expected tomorrow 😔
