Monday drinks

[Pistol]

It’s 6:30 and I’m ready to smother my H. He has been sleeping since he got home 2 hours ago. I will scream if he complains he can’t sleep tonight.

[babybean]

The boys are outside and I’m eating ahead of them so I can have dinner peacefully. It’s great.

[goldenbird]

I'm going to have some wine soon. It's been a shit day but no actual shit was involved so at least that's good. Or maybe not because I figured the baby would have pooped by now.

[weather]

I don't think I have ever appreciated the gym babysitting more than I did today. My kids started the day off like cute little disasters and somehow a trip to the gym managed to right the ship. So cheers to that!

[thatgolfb]

Hello. My kid free day was foiled so I was initially annoyed by that, but DD1 is home from school and the baby is napping. I'm glad I have gotten to snuggle her extra today. I'm watching a movie on Hallmark and enjoying my fall candle.

[skategirl128]

We’re home from DSs first swim team practice. It’s dinner, shower and homework for him and then relaxing for me! Fall evenings are always chaotic!

[goldenbird]

My baby has been awake for almost 10 hours except for cat naps. Child, go to sleep!

[SweetPotato]

Today is my Hs birthday so we’re about to go out for dinner.

We’re dressing up and going to a nice restaurant...even though we don’t have a sitter.

[billyhorrible]

Soccer tonight, so just water. I'm just grateful that it's overcast and cool. We haven't had a practice that wasn't in the 80s,90s,or hundreds since the season began.

[thatgolfb]

DD1 fell asleep watching a show. I'm going to let her sleep and get dinner started.

I caught my nanny in a lie that doesn’t really concern us and works to our benefit because she doesn’t need time off now. However, I am really bothered by the lying and that sucks because she perfectly matches our needs minus the lying part.

What was the lie? Was she lying to get time off from work?

[Pistol]

H is up and making dinner. It’s about damn time.

[foxmulder]

I wish we had a gym with childcare here. I’ve got to take DS1 to tumbling, make dinner, and work for a couple more hours. And workout. 😴 The days are just too short.

I think so. She claims she had a trip to Seattle but then at the last minute decided not to go the first time. Then she said she “switched” her ticket to this week but is canceling that now. Her elaborate stories about switching airline tickets doesn’t match the reality of how airlines price and basically make it impossible to rebook $200 tickets, much less multiple times. I fly all the time. Her stories about this ticket are bullshit. It’s weird because we really don’t care why she needs/wants time off and we are very free with it.

That is weird. I’d probably still talk to her about it.

[goldenbird]

That's bizarre maybe

[loony]

Tonight is the only night we don’t have anything scheduled. We took SO lunch at work (and I had a couple beers) and now we’re eating raviolis and I’m having a seltzer.

I also realized I don’t actually have copies of my official transcripts (even though I swear I ordered extra sealed copies last time), for an online Adjunct position I want to apply for, so that blows. I’m going to order them tomorrow, but it’s going to delay the process.

[nevertoomanyshoes]

I’m sitting in the salon chair. My regrowth was so bad, I’m looking forward to liking my hair again (hopefully)! It’s nice to get some me time, this is the first time in 6 months I’ve had time to myself that’s not a 20 minute quick dash to the supermarket.

Southwest let’s you change tickets without a fee, you just pay the difference/get a credit for the new fare or you can cancel and use the ticket price paid for up to a year on any other flight so it may be possible.

Crap ass night tonight that has me laid up with some seriously bruised toes, an almost tween who is upset with the world, and an eight year old with a funky prickly heat rash on his chest and belly. I ate a cupcake In lieu of wine to give my liver a break after this last weekend.

[bobyn]

I think I'm finally going to start The Handmaid's Tale once B goes to bed.

[foxmulder]

maybe, what an odd thing to lie about.

[Bluebird]

H is OOT, and I’m excited to binge UnReal and starfish the bed.

I did last week and I’m already on season 2 😂

DD said no one would play with her at recess and I’m trying to not spiral and think she’s not going to make friends in K. I want to cry for her.

Did she ask to join others? I know my K students frequently assume that no one wants to play with them because no one directly asked them to come and play. Happens all the time.

She said she did. I asked about some other girls she had mentioned and she said she couldn’t find them. I don’t know. There are 3 girls in the neighborhood that are sounding like they aren’t so nice to her and all she wants is to play with them. I know it will probably be ok, I just feel awful.

MH had to go back into work because he couldn't log on remotely. I am thankful that his job is enough that I don't have to work fulltime but all of the extra hours lately has been tough.

DS complained about this a lot when he was 4 and I got really worried. We later found out they were asking him to play but he didn’t want to participate in that particular game or wanted them to do something else with him.

I assume it’s a misunderstanding with her too. Just sucks not knowing what is actually happening.
