Last night was my most adventurous drive home thus far. I get off work and drive to my parents place to pick up DD. There are forests on either side of the main road and it is late at night.
I was two minutes from work and bam! Had to completely slam on my breaks to stop.
There were not 1, not 2, not 3....but 6 deer running across the road!! The baby was the last and it kept running for about 20 seconds down the side until finally veering off into the woods. I thought I was safe to go and drive again. Then 5 minutes later, holy shit yet another huge ass deer in the middle of the road and he then ran off. My heart was pounding the rest of the way.
Pro tip if you come across a deer is to wait a bit as where there is one then another generally follows. It is common here to miss one deer and keep driving only to have the second one hit the side of your car. Spring must be here to have all this activity now.

Today is a get my house back together day. I worked all week and if this changes go a permanent thing, we’re going to need a better conversation about what needs to be done daily.
He’s worked 6 days a week for the last 5 years and does help out, but the mental load has definitely fallen on my shoulders by default.

DH is away for the weekend. I'm trying to decide if DD and I are going to have a stay at home in PJs type day or go out and do something. I did tell her we could bake later on today and I should clean.

I swear someone heated something up and it smells like a heated fart or like burnt Vienna sausages or something.
I want to die.

Can kids get library cards? I want Soph to get her own because she’ll think she’s so damn special with her own.

shan-ah-doo, DS1 treasures his library card. He’s just so damned proud and I’m thrilled that he’s caring about something constructive. Lol

H made sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. I have laundry, cleaning and other boring adult stuff to do.
I made a huge to do list to get ready for the baby, which ended in me crying about not being able to get it done

shan-ah-doo, my library also doesn’t charge late fees on kids’ materiaks, if that’s your concern. The card has been a great teaching tool and it’s his currency.

We did a girls trip there and it was so, so much fun. Renting a car was definitely the way to go! I’m pushing Croatia. We’ll see who wins. Lol Croatia is in my top 3 places I have ever been to. Let me know if you need tips or places to visit.

Apparently the fact that I constantly have Poco Loco from Coco stuck in my head and go around the house singing it to myself has made an impression on DS. The kid who is in EI for speech because he has so few words for his age is running around yelling, “Pooooco! Loooooco!”

Good morning friends. I’m getting a blow out and then picking up a few things for tonight. We’re having friends for a party to celebrate a life changing victory. Sorry not sorry for being mysterious. @grumpychat I’ll get back to you soon about Croatia.

I have a giant bag of really tasty romaine in my fridge and I’m feeling very annoyed that I am supposed to throw it out. But I guess E. Coli is not something I want to mess with. My sister gave me a free week from Plated and one of the meals I picked had a Caesar salad with some really nice looking romaine. I’m bummed about tossing it, but who knows where they source it from, so in the trash it goes.

Good morning. We are all in bed on our iPads here. No real plans, maybe the pool later because it’s supposed to be warm (it’s already looking beautiful outside). DS1 will want to go skate.
I have to travel for work tomorrow evening, so I’ll be carrying the travel anxiety around with me until then. Ugh.

I accidentally stumbled upon something wonderful. K has been watching "The Little Mermaid" and decided she'd "lose" her voice too. She's been silently miming shit for an hour. I'm about to crochet her a mermaid tail to further encourage this.

Since I woke up to snow, I really want to make a chicken pot out.
But, yep...kids won’t eat it.

I have harassed the whole family into cleaning the house. Dh has tackled the kitchen. He doesn't want to mess it up again, so he volunteered to go out to get lunch. Score!

Morning. DS and I survived the grocery store in the usual number of pieces and I even managed to acquire what looks like a decent rice cooker for $5.
I think spring has finally sprung here! We spotted a couple of yard sales on our way home and I don't think I explained the concept to DS in a way that makes sense to a three-year-old.
