Stuff, Things, etc.: Weekend catch-up and memes

So it's not that I can't write some sort of catch-up post, it's the every time I open up a window/browser/tab, I get assaulted by the 65 tabs I have open. And then I get distracted and then nothing happens. We are inundated with so much information At All Times that I can't even focus on one task at a time. Crazy, right?

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of stressful activity and now May-cember is here. I didn't. understand just how crazy May was until I had kids in school in 2023-2024. That was the May our dog was sick, Sutton was at her worst clinginess level, Scott's job was 12+ hours a day, Wells was graduating kindergarten, and then I had to wrap up a school year. In May-cember, there's some fun activity every day, field trips, etc. Finding/buying teacher appreciation gifts/end of year gifts is usually what pushes me over the edge, if I'm being honest. This year(!), we have soccer three days a week plus a dance class and then there's a recital at the end of the month.

This year(!), we also have to move out of this rental at the end of June and we're in the process of closing on a house not far from here. So yes, friends. We're moving again! This will be 5 houses and 4 states since 2020. Exactly 5 houses in exactly 6 years, June 2020 to June 2026. That math doesn't seem possible but I think it checks out (I don't know..I'm pretty tired.)

I have more details to share on all of this, but I'm going to wait and see how the next month shakes out.

Passing the time at soccer...

Field day.

She loves Scout and he is so completely indifferent.

More soccer.

Speaking of teacher appreciation week, I asked Wells to decorate this gift bag for his teacher...He drew a battle between the USA and the "Rushons" :)

I have found some great dresses at Walmart lately. Now, this one is from last year but I've gotten two dresses for $13 a piece in the last two weeks.

I told myself that, going back to work, I wasn't going to rebuild or even supplement a wardrobe this spring. I can worry about that next fall.

But I grabbed this on a whim, after seeing (probably) a Facebook ad....

It's a 100% cotton tshirt dress!

It was $13.

It wore so well that I immediately grabbed another:

And then I just now grabbed a 3rd because they are SEVEN to NINE dollars. Don't sleep on this.

Again, they're 100% cotton. That matters in this day and age of fast fashion. They're pretty loose. I got smalls.

You know those bloggers or influencers who are like "omg i love it so much i have it in 5 colors!" and it's a $200 sweatshirt or something? Well that's me but now I own $30 worth of 100% cotton tshirt dresses from Walmart.
