Highways don’t bother me but I’m a city person all the way. Yeah this is me normally too. I think it’s because it’s not built yet I can’t scope the noise level. It won’t be a main freeway if that makes sense so I don’t know. Might depend on how much I like the actual house. babybean yeah most likely our forever home. Can you look up the zoning plans or something related to the new highway being built? Google map/satelite view may give you an idea of house/ and the highway

I’m still working on my hurricane wine. We broke out the magnatiles that we had bought in anticipation of needing to entertain the kids without electricity for a few days. The boys played with them nicely for hours. At one point, I heard DS2 day, “brother, I like when I ask you for help and you do it. Thank you.” Like who even is that child right now?? It’s a trap!!

My new vacuum arrives tomorrow. I'm very excited. This isn't even sarcasm. I totally get it- our Dyson was out of commission for over a week, and I was so excited when the replacement battery arrived.

Bath time is my favorite time of day right now. Everyone loves their baths and it’s just really nice family time where both babies are smiley and A is chatty and then we all put on PJs and read books in my bed while R & C nurse. So lovely.

My husband is out of town for a wedding. Kids are asleep and I think I'm going to take an Ambien get in bed and watch 9/11 documentaries. Sounds like a recipe for nightmares.

MH has been using my retinol solution recently so I stopped at The Ordinary store on the way to the train to get him his own plus a Vit C cream. I’m still mind blown that he’s finally looking after his skin after 12 years of me trying to get him there

Just took a picture with DS on his last day of being 5.
I’ll just be over here sobbing. It’s fine.

I’m dranking. Sitting in bed in my new comfy Ulta bathrobe and watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and drinking wine. I don’t know if I am winning at life or losing.

I just got back from a late evening x-ray for severe joint pain in my knees and so funny that the x-ray tech's daughter is in my DD's class at school so they chatted about that ☺
Rushed DD into bed and now soaking my pain away in a hot bath. I think it is a night to garage and watch some Netflix. I got a 2 hour nap today after working all night and now chips and salsa is sounding delicious!

Tonight is a leftovers night because I cannot be bothered to cook. Right now I am watching the baby crawl around and try her best to get into trouble. I'm watching the Great British Baking show.

Hi, I have beer. My family and my brother and his girlfriend are taking my mom to the vineyard for the day tomorrow for her birthday, then dinner at a nice Italian restaurant. My body is ready for all the wine and carbs.

I got into an argument with our cable company over the hill that I’ve been arguing with them about for 4 months today and now I have to turn it over to the psc and attorney general.

Also, DD has had 2 better days at school this week and has reduced her crying at drop off. Thank the lord. It seems she will adjust, albeit, very slowly apparently.
And @darlene I ordered that book The Kissing Hand and read it to DD last night and she loved it and today was the first day she wasn't dragged into school by the teacher (still needed a hand to walk her in), so thank you so much!
It was a really cute story too 😊

I just felt this rush of homesickness. I drank a Sonoma County beer, and now I’ve moved on to SC wine. It’s weird that I can’t just drive down the street to the brewery, or up to Healdsburg to the tasting room.

Well, my almost 3 year old climbed out of his crib for the first time tonight. Guess it couldn’t last forever!

How did you score yourself a prescription? My doctors won't prescribe more than a month's supply.

It was a really cute story too 😊 Aw, I love The Kissing Hand. A Pocket Full of Kisses is cute, too. Another one a friend recommended to me is The Invisible String. It’s premise is that our hearts are connected to all the people we love with an invisible string and that way they’re always with us. DD has been struggling a lot with the death of my grandma and, in turn, my mom’s death. It’s helped a lot. It helps when MH travels, too.

Y’all should watch Next Gen if you’re looking for a new kid’s movie. It’s really good. On Netflix.

I'm a few drinks in and trying on fall clothes that are typically outside my comfort zone.... Trying to step it up a little for newly single life 😳

I made butter chicken for dinner and all of the kids ate it 🙌 Now, I’m thinking we’ll watch Black Panther since it’s on Netflix.
