The dishwasher is coming?

 We bought a dishwasher and a fridge more than 3 weeks ago, and we are LOVING the fridge. But! The dishwasher was supposed to arrive and be installed 10 days ago. Something happened on delivery day (missing a hose?), and we STILL DO NOT HAVE IT. We have called a million times and didn't cancel the purchase because we like the completely no frills model we chose, and we were concerned that starting over at a different store would delay our delivery too long (LOL LOL LOL LOL). So. TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY.

Speaking of annoying expenses!! Annabel's one-year well-check was SO EXPENSIVE. Five HUNDRED DOLLARS. What. And! She is getting spayed this quarter. Geez. Pets.
Also! Totally pointless back-to-school shopping for kids who need nothing
I also bought myself a little treat: 3 books I LOVED as a kid. I cannot wait to see how they have aged these past 37 years (I read these all in 5th-ish grade when I was 10-ish). Do I want to read them in the waning days of summer or as a back-to-school treat for myself?

Lest you feel too bad for Dorothy, she had a BLAST at a dance friend pool party at the other pool near our house

A few miles away, I was FREEZING and FULLY DRESSED poolside while Cooper and Minnie played until dark
Where I also ate my FAVORITE PIZZA. I am really going to miss summer.



But!! To get ready for FALL, Jack and I had a PSL date at Starbucks and did our SEPTEMBER CALENDARS! We both use a digital calendar as our main hub (google for me; Apple for him) and then do monthly/weekly/daily from there. We have a plan to plan (lol) each week on Saturday or Sunday and each month near the end of the previous month somewhere fun. BRING IT SENIOR YEAR!
These two went to their middle school open house, got their lockers to dump their stuff, and walked their schedules. They'r ready!


I AM READY. How about you?

    Oh, I love the PSL/planning date! That looks really fun.
    HOW was Annabel's "well check" that expensive????????? And how much is it going to cost to have her spayed??? I had no idea dogs were so expensive!
    I've read two of those books- never read Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade. I bet you'll enjoy re-reading them.

    $500??? For a tiny dog well-check! Yikes and wowzers.
    I hope the dishwasher comes ASAP. That is a LONG time to wait.
    I've never heard of a walk-through of a schedule but that's brilliant.

    EEK $500? I want to say "Charlie's didn't cost that much!" but you know what, I don't actually remember and maybe it did?!?! I think you get at least a $200 baseline fee just for walking through the door at the vet. LOL. I will say, I know our vet was WAY more reasonable on the neuter that the first vet's office we went to. They had quoted me close to $1000! And the other vet's office only charged like $350 for the neuter, plus I think $75 for a pre-appt or something else. Bonus, the other vet is only a couple blocks from our house AND the 2 main vets there I sort of know (one is a swim team dad we vaguely know and the other one is the wife of Ethan's old soccer coach).

    That planner date with Jack is adorable... It sounds like you got actual stuff done, but I'm just so stuck on the sweetness of it all.

    I'm already IN it, so I guess I better be ready.
