@Wildfire: I love that you're so ready to give advice and be available for people who need your knowledge. :D
My schedule probably looks tight to the other moms because it's a stricter schedule. But, that's what my son needs. He likes having everything listed in the morning and his goal is always to be done by noon. :3 It's not as strict as it sounds either, his online teacher is super flexible and doesn't dock points for anything being late.

I've put together and tossed out 2 different name lists in the last 2 weeks. It is a boy. He's definitely shown off his bits to the ultrasound techs every time we get an ultrasound. No mistaking his gender. lol.

I want an older name not being commonly used anymore. My husband wants a biblical name. :o -shrugs-
@Wildfire: I've gotten more comfortable talking to the other homeschooler moms at his karate class. They all have really busy schedules. They all co-op with different homeschooling groups. So no one is doing the same thing as the other. Two of them do half school- half homeschool. There are days those kids go to in-person classes. It's fascinating what is provided around here that everyone has their own home program.
They think my schedule is tight because I use an online charter school for my son. lol. But then I hear about their set-ups and I cringe at the thought of how busy they are. Hiking, working their businesses, classes, etc.
I definitely have several months to decide what to do. I'm trying not to fret about it now. My husband is on me about naming the baby and I honestly.. don't know. That's definitely something I need to figure out in the next few weeks. XD
@Purpsy: I get paranoid when drains clog. My brain thinks it's septic issues every time. Nothin quite like watching yuck water come up through drains. T^T
It must feel super nice to have a squeaky clean bathtub now. c:
I hope you get enough energy to get your other things done as well.
@Wildfire: I kept my son at home. It throws off our school schedule when my daughter's home. He wants to play with her and she wants to see him do his school. So it's a battle to get things done with her home.
His confidence has significantly boosted since karate started though. /which we'll likely be missing today. I'm leaning towards sending him back to public school next year while I have a new baby at the house. or, if my husband gets what he wants, both kids stay home with the homeschool system my son is doing now.
I might have gotten lucky when I brought the garbage to the curb. I'll find out shortly. I saw them up the block from me a few minutes ago- so by luck, I mean, they have to be running 2 or 3 hours behind schedule.

I'm probably going to do some 'i'm frustrated' cleaning. XD
Good morning.

.... My morning is not going my way. No one took the trash to the curb. So we missed it. I brought it out- just in the off-chance that the truck is running late. =_=
aand.. my car won't start. It's -1 outside and my engine refuses to kick on. So ANOTHER day with my kids home. OTL -flops-

@DreamerZ: Thank you. <3
I wasn't online yesterday.
But I'm okay. It's really cold outside and my car won't start. So I'm a bit bummed about that.

@Wildfire: lol Thank you. I hope your appt went well. :3

@Wildfire: oh my gosh, I had to go to the airport at 11 pm last night and roads were absolutely iced over. It's been years since I've experienced that kind of slick roads. Thankfully on my way back, I lingered about a half-mile behind a plow. They were setting gravel down for better grip.
my husband's home, so yay!
At some point today, I need to make a grocery plan and go grocery shopping.
@Purpsy: I just found out that one of my brother's best friends runs the fancy Thai food place near here. hehehe. So I think I'll celebrate my birthday this weekend and make a reservation there. :3 Say hi to him. He won't remember me much, but he knows my brother. :}
My day was pretty bland. I had no energy to accomplish anything. Which is okay. One of my roommates gave me roses. :d

Oh wow, deviantart definitely updated a Lot since last I logged in. It feels much cleaner.

I have quite a few friends that use toyhouse now.

@Aisukohi: I ate subway and I think I ate a little too quickly. My tummy is so bloated on top of being preggo. uhg. Oh well. =3=
I hope your indigestion goes away.
Thank you for the Happy Birthday. <3
I hope your work day was smooth. :3


@MoodyB: I haven't been on dA in a while, but I heard that they have a commissions section now. Would you be able to use that to gain some momentum? I haven't looked into it myself- hopefully, I'm not giving bad advice. cx
I also used the social media called Vero- I'm no longer using it [like all my other social media platforms], but that's a nice place to post art and blog a little. :3

@MoodyB: Same here. Always a cookie and a bag of chips. hehe. <3
I haven't been on IG in so long, it's super glitchy on my phone. o.0' there's something wrong with the app. o3o' and I don't think I care enough to try and fix it. XD
Well, Your experimenting is pretty and I enjoy your artwork. :3 I think I might have a little bit of artwork laced into my IG, but, I've never been big on showing off my stuff on social medias. o3o
I loved deviantArt years ago, but I've forgotten my login info now.


@Totalanimefan: Impossible chicken nuggets? what is that?

@Totalanimefan: I got my subway and a chai latte. C: What are your go-to dinners?


@MoodyB: I used to eat subway so much, and I realized today, taking my 8 year old kids, that they've never been to a subway. =O So.. it's been a long time since I've been to a subway, even though it feels like I went to one recently enough. XD
Our local subway has a drive-thru. I don't think I've ever seen a subway with a drive thru before. o3o' That must've helped them during the pandemic.
I just clicked your IG link in your siggy. Your art is so soft! I love it! <3 Totally going to give you a follow, even though neither of us are active currently. CX


@Shark: Arteza watercolor brush pens. <3 Those are my go-to drawing supplies. :3 I dip them in water to control the color. I totally recommend them.
I've been sorting and trying to get rid of all the little piles of stuff that's been given to me over the years. I have dried up markers from when I was a kid. o.e' Like, How did these stay in my stuff for all the years I've been moving around. crazy.

@MoodyB: I'll follow you on IG to help your algorithm. :3 I'm not as active as I used to be. I took a year-long social media hiatus.
I really liked subway when I was a teenager, I had one bad sandwich once and stopped going. XD now I'm craving it out of the blue.

@Shark: yeah, for sure. I've got a lot of supplies. Especially since I've shown interest in art since I was a little kid. So I've been given so much art supplies in my life.. I got a lot lying around in different nooks of my house.
But paint- I'm a bit picky about. I've found I like the watercolor pens. :3 theyre pretty cheap now. :d


@Totalanimefan: -le sigh- yesss. I'm going to get out of my pajama shorts and put pants on to leave. XD I'm getting hungry.
Posted in It's my birthday. Come hang out with me? Posted 3 years ago
@Totalanimefan: I wish I knew more people in my area. lol. Subway is really only some 5 miles away. it's not far. I'm just laaaaaazy. XD


@MoodyB: I love how cozy your avi looks. <3 a few years back, I'd make short drawing videos and edit them. I never posted any, only ever sent them to specific friends.
My only plan is to drive to the aiport late tonight to pick up my husband. and probably get subway soon. CX
