It’s 5:00. Time to drink. Or don’t.

I sent R’s teacher a message asking how he’s settling in, I was worried because big changes can sometimes trigger his anxiety and make his sensory stuff escalate. She said he’s doing fine other than sometimes he doesn’t sit right in his chair and he makes noises but stops when asked. Ok so he’s a 5 year old. And she has started limiting him to 4 crayons when coloring because otherwise he spends too much time counting and sorting his crayons and doesn’t actually start coloring. Lady, my kid has zero attention span for coloring. I know this. Overall, I’m good with those being the worst of what they are dealing with though!

Tl;dr my kid is doing pretty good at school so far and I’m happy about it! Though it sounds to me as though he might be a little bored.

I'm stuck at work because I need to talk to my boss before he leaves for vacation tomorrow and a chatty sales rep is here. I need to go pick up my kid too. Ugh.

[Deleted]

I WISH it were fuckin 5pm here

Currently I'm filling out two stupid big orders and listening to No Diggity... because I miss childhood.

[Pistol]

Oh and the main road to school reopened today. Just in time for more rain tomorrow. 😒 I’m kinda curious how much this weekend’s rain will hit because it really won’t take much to flood everything again. And worse.

I’m almost done with a two hour web conference about the new system we’ll be adopting in the Winter. I’m super stoked on it and can’t wait to ditch the clunky system we have now.

I still have two more hours until I’m done though. I have borracho beans in the crockpot and I think I’m going to pick up some dark beer to go along with it. It totally feels like fall.

My low tire light was on a week ago and H put air in one tire. The light came back on on Sunday day and he finally looked at it today. Same low tire... And my other tire had 7, seven, psi. I'm so thankful that didn't blow out on me, particularly on the freeway today.

Guess we need to make room in our budget for new tires for the van.

The weather is weird here and all long sleeve tops and long pants have disappeared from the clothing stores for kids. Every year I try to remember they do this and every year I forget. It’s not shorts weather yet Target jeez.

[trueblue]

wildflower, if the tread is good ask the garage that installed them to look for a leak and patch it, or, if there isnt one, to reseat the tire on the rim. Tire pressure issues stink

[tattooedtragedy]

A has dance tonight, it is the first day so it is a little chaotic in here right now

[foxmulder]

I had a bunch of dental fillings today. I’m physically and emotionally exhausted. I would rather give birth than go to the dentist. 😢

My baby hates sleep. I can't wait for 7pm so I can pass him off to MH and go to sleep.

[shan-ah-doo]

Making dinner. We eat early 🤷🏻‍♀️

[SweetPotato]

It’s not a million degrees, my kid feels better, and I finished a frustrating project at work.

This calls for a celebration!

[xtine22]

We came back from our informational meeting for Girls Scouts. I love how it’s very Girl lead. I guess the girl decides and vote on what they want to do. I’m hungry but we don’t know what we want to do for dinner.

[Tlex]

My head cold is awful and I’m really wishing I could take the good drugs! I might resort to letting my kids have one of my bath bombs later if we get desperate to pass the time. If I can energize myself to go get the baby dollies I bet washing them in the tub would also prove popular. 4 hours to go... 🧗🏻‍♀️

[babybean]

We have a man cold over here so the sky is falling.

[elodin]

Waiting on H to get home and then we have back to school night. He's cutting it close because of course there was construction on his way home.

[skategirl128]

It’s been a week!

School is going well. The kids have settled in and I love teaching K. They’re such a great group. It’s felt like a long week though since we only had two days of school last week.

DS is still sick. He’s on antibiotics but still has a fever. He will probably be out all week at this rate. Thankful for my H who has been able to flex his shifts and work nights this week. Will be having a glass of wine later!

[bobyn]

It's been a day. I'm glad it's Wednesday because that means DH will be home tonight instead of at work and I'll get to have a little time to myself when I get home to decompress.

[hawkward]

I'm drinking some red while making red beans and rice with shrimp, smoked sausage, and cheddar biscuits. It smells so good I'm impatient for it to be done.

[bobyn]

That sounds so good, hawkward!

What time is dinner??

[Pistol]

We’re having lame chicken nuggets. I thought I had mac n cheese but we don’t. So chips and salsa it is instead.

[thatgolfb]

I'm at work for another hour and change. I don't think I am having wine tonight. I am going to have chocolate milk instead because I am an adult and I do what I want.

That sounds amazing! I need to add this to my meal plan.

[thatgolfb]

I'm finally making the chicken piccata I was supposed to make on Monday, now that I have kitchen counter space again. I am making mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus to go with it. Yum.

[thatgolfb]

Actually, I have to open wine for the recipe, so maybe I will have some... Rules is rules.

[hawkward]

It's been... too long since I actually cooked. We've been having too many "open box, remove plastic" meals and take out lately. I have some mom guilt going on.

[Bluebird]

Drinking rose. Wish I could just crawl back in bed, but toddler.

A close friend of mine named Sam Seaborn is nuts for dental hygiene. He always tells people “Your teeth are the best friends you've got. You take care of them, they'll take care of you.”

Get some rest and take some pain relievers!
