I just had another one of those moments that should be used in abstinence-only sex ed classes.
Everyone is gone from the house except myself and my two offspring. D is upstairs napping and DS and I are playing in the kitchen when he tells me he's hungry. So I start making him a grilled cheese.
As soon as I set the thing on the pan I hear D wake up so I go up to get her. The second I pick her up I hear a boom and DS start screaming downstairs. I set D down quickly and of course she begins screaming as I race downstairs to see DS covered in seltzer that he spilled while climbing the kitchen stool.
I pick him up and run back upstairs to get him his binky and his duck, then I spend a minute cuddling one in each arm until they both calm down. We all go back downstairs and I turn over the grilled cheese which is now smoking.
I thought we were all good but nope. Smoke alarm went off and they both start screaming again. Fuck everything.

I'm trying to decide now if I should start drinking or just pack up and go home for the night with just D as soon as H is back. I'm really so over it. Why am I even here? I could be bored and miserable in the comfort of my own home.

Oh dashook that's painful. I personally would rather be miserable in the comfort of my own home.

Alright things are looking up. DH got home and is dealing with D who didn't nap long enough and is being an inconsolable harpy. DS is still napping so I'm on the porch with an iced "mocha" (i.e. I poured Hershey syrup into my coffee lol) and the sun is out.
When DS wakes up I'm packing up some beers and we're going to the beach.

I survived Chuck E. Cheese with both kids alone. H was really good the whole time & M was scared of Chuck E Cheese. Except when he wasn't around she kept asking where he was because she wanted to take a picture with him.
MH is still at work. Not sure when heMll be coming home.

Upstairs nursing C and hoping she'll go down easily, because we have some people over for dinner and Dad is currently grilling. And my wine is getting warm.
Funny--the husband (of the couple here) shares a name with my parents' dog, who is a shit. (Some of his more endearing habits include hiding in kitchen cabinets and humping the watering can). I can tell my parents are being so careful not to address the dog by name 😂

J is being difficult tonight. I'm really hoping we don't have a repeat of last night but so far I'm not optimistic.
DH is busy grilling sausages and I'm busy drinking. Or atleast I was until J woke up. I really need to send you guys some of my hometowns blueberry ale. It's so good. I know I'm biased but I think you all would enjoy it.

We ended up at Greek Fest and I had a gyro and these honey donuts and part of H's chicken dinner, and baklava and another cookie of some kind. Oh, E went on two carnivals rides. But mostly we ate!

Oh no waitwhat WTF ?! I really hope it turns around. I think I could more easily deal with MOTN wake ups than I can with babies that are tired but don't want to actually go to sleep when they are.

Hi! It's 6pm and I'm finally home. Today was a long day but all I did was go to the baby shower. Traffic was beyond awful. My friend lives in the city and i forgot that it's Pride weekend, so I was hit with a million detours and traffic jams. I think I spent 4 hours driving today, when it should have been less than 2. But the shower was fun and it was a beautiful day for it! Also, I saw flamingo's long lost identical twin sister there. Now I'm ready for some dinner and beer.

H has already woken up 8 times. He's a snotty mess, which just appeared out of nowhere, & he's pooped at least 6 times today, so his stomach might Ben bothering.
Poor baby.

I have at least one doppelgänger out there; her name is Betsy and we had the same last name. We actually went to the same sleep-away camp in NC one summer (they mixed up our luggage, which is how we met). So basically my life was The Parent Trap, minus the parent issues. THEN...so weird...I met her again ten years later through a girl I worked with (they went to church together). Ashley (my colleague) was like, you have to meet this girl I know, she looks *just* like you!...it was Betsy from camp. It is a scary small world.

Poor H tgrimes. I hope he's feeling better fast! dashook yes he did. But he was up at 12:30 but wasn't crying or anything. He was just talking to himself in his crib so I ignored it and fell back asleep. He just woke up at 3:30 though. After not having MOTN wake ups for a few months I'm not really into them again and hoping this is just a weird fluke. flamingo ok that is crazy weird! Especially since your paths crossed a second time and that she had your last name at one point!
