What's everyone making for supper tonight? We had ham and hummus sandwiches and a variety of side dips with cucumber (chick pea, Asiago, avocado hummus).

Peekaru I like it! Great colors. But.... I think it would drive me nuts it’s not centered between the shower and cabinets (unless of course I bought those non-slid carpet thingys)

What's everyone making for supper tonight? Lazy dinner because DH is out at a basketball game and I don't want to cook and clean up on my own. So frozen breaded fish fillets, corn, and green beans.

Help me find something: Littlest Bones got 3 PJ Mask figurines and their respected cars. He's been carrying them around like crazy. They have gone missing. The last time I saw them I was cleaning up the play room and now, who the fuck knows. I've looked through the whole house and checked his cubby at school. We have to have somewhere! I'm going to go through the cars today. Where should I look? In between couch cushions, in bins with other toys where they wouldn't belong, in the diaper bag if you still have one, in their backpacks, in a closet, under the dining room table.... In our house we might find something like that in the cabinets in the play kitchen or in the doll crib. Basically almost anywhere, lol!

Is it freakin Friday yet?? I need work to slow the f down. I've been feeling like I'm barely treading water most days. It's non stop people asking questions and shit, and I'm tired of my own voice. Okay so 3 new staff started yesterday...but ugh. It is so busy and I'm hoping there is an end in sight soon!
That's all...

Do you (general you) ever worry that the only memories that the kids will have of you is you screaming at them?
Asking for a friend

Comeeeee onnnnnnn CestLaVie !!!! Didn't you see my earlier post?!??? Crying at all the things today! You can't go posting sappy videos like this!! I needed it though. I lost my temper with A today over the stupidest thing. I told her 3 times to put on socks. We were running a little late to gymnastics and I had to take the dogs out. I expected her to have socks on when I came back in. Instead, she was dragging blankets through the kitchen. I yelled so loud at her 😥 so I got her ready to go then I ran to the bathroom quick and she tried to show me the sticker on her glove, and I was still trying to calm myself down, so I yelled " I don't care!" And her face just dropped. She didn't cry, she just accepted it and looked so hurt. I thought about it the entire drive to gymnastics. So as soon as I got her out of the car I apologized and told her I lost my temper and shouldn't have yelled at her like I did. I know she doesn't exactly understand but I was being very genuine with her and felt a bit better.

taketheshot, I have those moments too 100%. I can only hope that in those moments I am also teaching them to give others' grace, forgiveness, and how to apologize/own when you mess up

Constipated 2 year old in my house tonight. We did a suppository an hour ago and still nothing, but I think the Motrin kicked in because she was acting more herself. Not sure how the night will go, but I would be okay waking up at midnight needing to changer her diaper.

Peekaru, most definitely. I have some great mom moments and I have lots of really shitty ones too. I feel really guilty about it sometimes.

I need buckets of coffee to make it through today. DS didn’t sleep much last night... not because he’s sick but because he was singing and kept calling me in the room saying “mommy, I want to talk with you” then bursting into conversation about his stuffed animals. He’s such a chatty kid.

Well, suppository did diddly for K last night. She woke up in a good mood and was running/dancing so I am sending her into daycare. She also had 3 packets of applesauce. So, hopefully she'll do something there and I won't have a constipated toddler by myself tonight.

Please send an iv oh coffee. Awards got over super late and I have a super early flight. Sales manager made a bet a year ago and well, another company got on stage and shaved his head due to said bet. So crazy. We won, highest sales for shade, met our sales goal AND were in the top 10 for sales in 2017. Woo hoo!

Oh absolutely! And she usually fights me if I try to help her! Miss Independent has always done everything by herself but now she is in the "No, YOU do it" phase which is frustrating because I know she can do it herself and I've gotta budget more time to get her out the door

I thought applesauce and apples were binding, while apple juice was....the opposite of binding (unbinding?).
