We came to a new playground but my kids just want to play with sticks and acorns in the dirt. I can’t care too much because at least I have my camp chair and we’re in the shade.

Just had a cup of coffee. And omg Murphy Brown is coming back. I used to watch this with my mom and Murphy really reminds me of her. ❤️ I used to watch that with my mom too. She is going to be really excited to hear this news.

Does kinetic sand really not dry out when left in the open?

Water here. I spent the day sitting with my grandparents. My kids have been so great about having to sit in a little hospice room for the majority of this week. I’m sure they’ll punish me for it soon.
Pasta with chicken sausage and broccoli on deck in a bit, then I’m planning a night of hair/face masking and reading in bed.

The weather said tricked ya. A huge storm rolled in right as we were about to play.
TYVM for the bonus free night mother nature!

It took an hour to get home. I really don’t want to make dinner, but I don’t want to be a budget hypocrite. I need to suck it up and get to cooking.

I was cleaning up outside toys and a lot of them are dirty. Debating if it’s worth the trouble to clean them or just toss. I need to do this before fall rainy season hits. I think I’m going to put all the small stuff through the dishwasher and have H power wash the big toys.

I am exhausted but MH has poker with some guys in the neighborhood and I’m not working out tomorrow morning since he has an early meeting. So I may put this last kid to sleep and drink a glass in bed.

I have been listening to Hozier’s new music all day so I’m in a great mood. Also I just found Milk Duds in the pantry so truly having the best day here. He has new music?

I probably sound like a broken record but I am miserable with vascular surgery recovery. Diagnosed with cellulitis on Tuesday..prescribed antibiotics which I started that day, and today my wounds are covered in blisters.

I’m enjoying a couple minutes of peace before a friend of my moms drops off her dog. We’re dog sitting for her for the weekend. Her dog is little so I’m hoping this isn’t miserable. Our dog is so easygoing and well trained that I’m spoiled. It’s only a couple of days at least!

I have zero ragrets because now my place smells like bacon.

I think I want to dye my hair. I've never done it before but I'm itching for a change. I'm thinking maybe auburn.

I have a funny story though. There is a trans guy that I work with. When he first started a few people had trouble with saying the right pronoun. He didn’t seem to mind and most of the people who made the mistake I believe he considered his friends, or at least had the beginning of a friendship, so he knew it wasn’t intentional. Last week there was a gender reveal party for a coworker and it was a boy so some people brought in “it’s a boy!” Balloons for her. Well the guy took one and now has an “it’s a boy!” balloon hanging from his desk. At first I was like, what the hel....ohhhhhhhhhhhh. Lolol. what a way to remind people to say the right damn pronoun. Again, he knows nobody ever was being malicious, so it’s all in fun. My husband is looking at me funny b/ I'm laughing quite loudly. To all you haterz, when I say lol, I actually mean it. I emote loudly when I read these boards.

My kid finally had a better day at school today. It has been a very hard transition for her.
I am beat. I mowed the lawn and it took forever, made dinner and our lunches, then made a big batch of basil jelly. I already had the basil from my mom's garden so needed to get it done.
Lots of work but worth it, my house smells amazing and I will for sure be enjoying some this weekend on crackers with cream cheese!

Solo bedtime has become quite the struggle. In trying to making easier over the summer, I ended up pushing it later than I’d like. Now we’re trying to get back into a semi routine and here I am, with a hot mess of bedtime on my hands.
I need an adult.

I’m just waiting for the last jerk, I mean kid, to fall asleep and then I’m going to hit the boxed wine. I’m trying a new kind from Target. Hopefully it’s good.
Our duplex neighbors continue to have a freaky amount in common with us. I found out today that their 7 yo also has the same (relatively rare) autoimmune disorder that DS1 does. So weird! We’ve pledged to be each others’ back-ups during the cold and flu season with both boys being exposed to a new school’s germs.

I tried to mow today. lol that was dumb. I’m exhausted and only did 2 yards. I’m going to load up on my steroids tomorrow morning and try to get the rest knocked out if it doesn’t rain too much tonight. I’ll finish recovering over the weekend. We’re about to get a shit ton of rain for the next week and I can’t skip 2 weeks of mowing. Just can’t.
