I’m not creative like a lot of you, but here’s a May thread now that it’s actually the Middle of May. Happy birthday to your big kids (and happy early and late birthdays).

May is a super busy month for us. But in case you were unaware, there's a lunar eclipse tonight. Should check to see if you'll be able to watch. My kids want to see and we told them we'd wake them to see it. But it's likely to be too cloudy, which is a bummer.

I kept checking but it never cleared enough |

I am tired. All the carpet got ripped out today, and he got the new carpet in KY sewing rokm closet installed. Tomorrow he's going to install the living room carpet, and possibly start the upstairs stuff and will finish on Wednesday. I got everything out of the living room, and dh helped move the big piecea of furniture when he woke up. My living room feels huge with nothing in it. I painted the subfloor upstairs, and did the nook and few spots in the living room. I didnt have enough paint to do the entire living room and the subfloor was in good shape. We ended up throwing away the bases board along a wall upstairs. It was 2 pieces and both of them had been damaged by cat per. We are getying a free dumpster from the city delivered on thursday so we will dispose of the carpet and pad ourselves and save $100. Tomorrow im going to paint the baseboards upstairs and along the steps while he installs downstairs. Last pic is my closet.       |

activebaby and luvboston thank you. Im not doing any carpet install, we are paying some for that since that way above my skill grade. Today I painted the baseboards upstairs and going down the stairs. I couldnt fully paint them last time because of the old carpet and all the pet hair. Living room is carpeted! And he even went right up to the fireplace. Whoever did the old carpet left a 3in gap between the carpet and the stonework of the fireplace and it bugged me. Kid and got toys were constantly getting stuck in it. The guy is installing the carpet pad upstairs and may put some carpet in up there. Tomorrow I think I'm going to get everything in my sewing room put away back into the closet. Funny thing that happened this morning is that dd2 lost one of her crocs. Im having the kids wear them upstairs because of the tac strips. They were outside her bedroom when she went to sleep last night, and she had them on this morning and was running around. When i went up to get the kids she was suddenly standing there with only 1 on, and didnt know what happened to the other one. I tore apart the kids rooms and couldnt find it.

For every productive day like these that I have, I have a couple of days where I do nothing but attempt to cuddle the cat. Quoting was easier than tagging you again…can you recommend some of the narrowest no back boosters? I want to get one to keep in case I have to drive one of DD1’s friends somewhere but it would have to fit in the middle of the girl’s seats in the back of our Highlander. I will measure but wanted a place to start at least. |

A good spare booster would be the bubble bum. Its an inflatable booster that is compact for storage when not in use.

I cleaned the playroom now I can’t move. The Home Edit would have a field day here.

My sewing room is almost back in order after this weekend. I have a few more things to find a place for, and I need to clean and get the fan blades back on the fan in the play room and get the closet door back in place. Then I'm done. Which is good news, because we are getting another cat on Saturday the 28th. I filled out an application on Friday, and they called me a couple of hours later to set the appointment. We have no idea which cat it will be, but we have a list of which ones we like based on their bios.

Both the BubbleBum and the Hiccapop pas the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 213) needed to be used as a carseat/booster seat in the US. The BubbleBum has a little bit of foam padding in it which can help the seat hold its shape (hiccapop does not). The BubbleBum also passed the required testing while both inflated and deflated, where as the Hiccapop was only tested while inflated. The lap belt guides for the BubbleBum are attached to the cover instead of the vinyl bladder (inflatable part) like the hiccapop. Since it passes FMVSS 213 it is safe to use it. |

One of the girls in DD1’s class told her that she isn’t smart because she goes to work with the reading teacher. 😠

Tell her to not let this get her down. She is amazing and smart ❤️ Why are people raising mean kids still? Ugh. |

I’m in need of a new pair of rain/muck boots. I normally wear them when in the garden and chicken coop. Any favorites?

One of the girls in DD1’s class told her that she isn’t smart because she goes to work with the reading teacher. 😠 That makes me so angry. We are all smart/talented in different ways. I’m sensitive to this with having one child in the gifted program and another not in it. Everything comes easy for ds1. Ds2 has struggled with speech for so long (been in speech for almost 2 years) . Both of my children are smart. I think ds2 lacks some confidence because of speech. Im so sorry for your dd. ETA: I have to talk to Ds about not making ds2 feel bad. He will say - it’s soooo easy! And for him it is, but for ds2 it’s hard work. I remind Ds that he is 2 years older than Ds2. And I have to let him know that can hurt ds2’s feelings. But yesterday when we were doing 2 virtual schools and work - Ds was helping ds2 with his work very nicely. So I know part of it is sibling stuff. |
