Here. I’m sitting down for what feels like the first time today. I deep cleaned my house for our housesitter and packed myself and the kids for our trip. I’m not really looking forward to the next few days, but am living for Sunday-kid free vacation time! Cannot. Wait.

Bad things would happen if I shopped while drinking. Bad bad things.

I've missed the drinking thread. Come play with us! I'm here for the night. I spent all day on the Hill and I'm tired. Although one of my very favorite powerful women totally fell in love with my daughter today so now my life is complete.

H is working late and the kid is in bed. I’m debating between wine and gelato.

My 2.5yo DS hates the stroller. Loathes it with his very being. Am I an idiot for planning to not take it to the airport? I always manhandle him into it until we get through security, but it ends up being just one more thing to worry about. We won’t need it where we’re going. He’ll be fine, right?
Or it’ll be the one time he decides he doesn’t want to walk. I’m sure I’m fucked either way.

DH and I stayed up late last night putting together the king bed you guys talked me into. Now I’m lying in it, taking a break from the kids while he entertains them. It’s delightful. I get happy all over again every time I walk into our bedroom.

I underestimated what the beer and appetizer tasting was going to be. There’s a ton of food, all you can drink local beer, Sonoma County wine (that is MH), sodas, music, etc. It’s awesome!

Teach your kids what to do around downed power lines. This brig2ht to you by the freak storm we had this afternoon. Everyone is alright, but damn, there are some stupid people in this world. Beer and summer planning will commence this evening. Uh oh. I’m glad everyone is ok. What are your summer plans? A friend offered us his parent's cottage for a week so we need to figure out when we want to go. We will also spend a week in another summer resort town, and the boys will do day camp for two weeks.

Also C's preferred method of transport is "Mama carries me whilst peasants fan me with palm fronds" so the Boba is as close as she's getting to that

Lately all I do is housework, work work, and homework on repeat. DS's last day of school is Friday- it's a half day so I'm trying to think of something exciting we can do in the afternoon- I already promised him we'd go to Rita's but I need more summer fun in my life.

I'm here. It's CD2 and I feel like I have that angry crocodile in my uterus. I have tried many advil and weed related things and I still fell gross.
I was gonna take to the dog to the groomers and walk around the mall but I think I'll just lay here all night instead.

We’re going to London over Christmas for 1.5 weeks and I’m planning all the fun things I can take DS to. MH keeps trying to veto the transport museum and I’m like no that’s a definite will do

S1 is lobbying to go see Incredibles 2 after his half day/last day

I thought he’d be super into them. I’m going to spend the entire day tomorrow talking about how much easier our airport lives would be if we had them.
