loony, I’m sorry the book was so heavy but it’s awesome you did the read. I’m curious about the reading challenge. I’ve looked at a few to do with MH. Could you recommend one? I’m attempting the PopSugar one for this year. It’s 30 regular categories and 10 advanced. There’s a group on GoodReads that’s like a book club too. (And good examples for each category). I am also reading My Life with Bob (a book about a real person...a journalists memoir about her book journal...I just started it, but it seems like a fun autobiography. ) and listening to Mr. Penumbra’s 24 hour Bookstore (a book set in a library or bookstore...I really like the narrator and the story is fun).

We got invited last minute to a bday party today for a party that was this afternoon (pretty sure it was a sympathy invite). DH will hard pass any kid bday party and I didn’t want to take all 3 kids alone so we didn’t go. We still went to buy a gift bc I will see the mom tomorrow and was tempted to buy the shrieking Hei Hei at Target but I don’t want them to hate us.

jabbers - your hike looked awesome today. I love my beaches, but sometimes I definitely miss the ocean.

I'm getting my hair done and the woman next to me just said the r word. Grown ass adult just said this. I worked with a teacher who would frequently throw this word around. She was on my team and we were (are) the 8th grade SPED co-taught team. It was my first year as Team leader and I had more than one conversation with her about it. It was really bad. She no longer works with us and I actually think she left teaching all together.

I just left my disaster of a house and 2 screaming children. Normally I peace out without a second thought because H can handle it like a boss, but I really felt bad tonight. It was a shit show in there.

Drinking wine and watching Chopped while my mom bathes the kids. I read a pretty heavy book today and feeling kind of emotionally spent. *Tell the wolves I’m home. TW: It was for my death/grief category for a reading challenge. I read this a few years ago and liked it. Definitely heavy.

I spent the day painting and learned some expensive lessons.
1) Always buy the sample. I bought two gallons of a colour that is completely wrong for the hallway and dining room. It will sort of work for DD's room.
2) Buy one gallon at a time. I bought two for our bedroom and haven't used half for the first coat. The guy must have known I was newbie and told me I would need more that I did.
Now, I have to figure out what colour to paint the dining room tomorrow because we move in this week.
Wine is being consumed.

Thanks! loony. I’m going to look up the PopSugar one. MH loves reading and I do too....although I’ve really gotten into a reading slump. He’s currently reading more than me (which I hate! I’m really slacking). I would love for us to have something fun to work on together like a reading list or even categories, where we each pick, and could recommend good reads when we finish a book.

A woman on the train said it the other, I also know she has young kids so I was really shocked to hear it come from her. I don’t know her by the way, she’s just a loud chatty Kathy who talks none stop at her friend

I’m having a pretty good night. I also finished my book (Little Fires Everywhere) and really really liked it. My sister is currently birthing her first baby so I get to go snuggle him tomorrow and my 2 year old DS loved dinner. He actually said “This so good. I eat this allllll day.”

It’s kind of nice to push my reading comfort level. I have read some books that I wouldn’t even have picked of my own devices and really enjoyed them...Like The Poisoner’s Handbook (development of forensic science through poisons...True Crime category).

Mh put together the glider for the nursery while DD and I were at Target. She hasn't gotten off of it since we've been home. She is not going to be happy that it's not going in her room.

It was a shit show in there. Everything will be fine. Promise. Kids are ridiculous one minute and perfectly fine the next. Try not to stress.

This woman keeps swearing. She is the most uncool middle aged woman who thinks the f bomb makes her sound cool.

Her mom is 48. I guess this woman is a lot younger than I thought. Sucks she has a granny face to go with her shitty personality.

I bought some dry shampoo tonight and I’m scared to use it. I’ve only tried one other dry shampoo before and the result wasn’t great. My hair felt really weird and actually looked worse than before putting it on. I’m assuming that’s not normal, right?

On the way home from the barn I realized DD has outgrown the back on her booster. So we took it off and she suddenly looks so grown. She also asked my height in inches and then goes “oh wow so I just need to grow 14” to be as tall as you “
Um yes. But let’s not rush it

Wine is being consumed. I just spent a ton on samples and I'm still not sure we have the right color. Don't buy one gallon at a time. You'll need the extra in the future for touch ups (btw store it somewhere climate controlled) and if you get more mixed up later it might not be an exact match. You can calculate how many gallons you need based on square footage

Dinner was a fail. Teach me to try something new. DS wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, totally expected. DH took 1 bite and made toast. I didn't hate it.

shan-ah-doo, I’ll keep that in mind if this one doesn’t work out. I really want to find one that works. My hair is so fine that I need to wash daily or it looks oily and gross. I would love to be able to skip an occasional day and still look decent. The one I bought before was expensive and I used it once. This time I went the opposite route and bought Dove. Maybe I solved my problem for 5 dollars??

My hair felt really weird and actually looked worse than before putting it on. I’m assuming that’s not normal, right? I have tried some shitty, shitty dry shampoo. I actually had a client who made it and would send me boxes of some "meh, at least I didn't pay for it" dry shampoo. I love Batiste. It's life altering. I tried the Living Proof, but I didn't think it was worth the price tag.
