It’s raining here, so I’ve got the fire going and steaks, roasted sweet potatoes and veggies in the works, and a glass of Merlot. Nice little rainy evening.

We found out the car accident we got in back in May actually totalled our car... And we should not have been driving it this whole time 😬 total adulting fail! So now we get start car shopping, blech. I’d put that one on the insurance company. They should have told you it was totaled. Well we got a preliminary estimate based on pictures and this was the first time we got around to taking it into a shop. I feel like we should have done that earlier.

Hey all, long time no drinking thread. I am back from my trip home which was really nice. Days upon days of adult conversation with people I like. So many babies to hold. It was my first time meeting any of my high school friends’ babies and something about that was mind blowing. I’m making a ham with cheesy rice and roasted veggies, everything smells good. Kids are watching a tinkerbell movie, it’s a breath of fresh air after our recent Frozen streak. Welcome back! You were missed. Did you get to eat all your favorite foods?

One more hour of solo parenting before bath. I managed to have two kids home today, had a meeting with the principal of the other kid's school and made a presentation to the PTA for this festival with kids in tow.

Hope your back feels better soon, kittyriot. I can commiserate: today is the first day I haven’t been in pain since slipping down the stairs nearly two weeks ago.

DS1 is still miserable with the flu and we had to do another miralax cleanse with DS2 today, so H and I are both hitting the wine tonight. Now DS2 is complaining about being cold (no fever so far though) so I’m worried he’s coming down with it too. Miralax cleanses are the worst. Luckily R took them in stride but I felt so bad doing it to him.

My new boss asked me if I would be interested in modeling for an upcoming workshop. It's like she's been reading my dream journal.

I am waiting for bedtime to take over the TV. I'm excited for This is Us. DS goes to bed at 8. Just last week, I started taking it over at 7 for wheel of Fortune and jeopardy. After a day, he got over it and moved on to other things for that hour lol Wheel and Jeopardy are integral parts of our nighttime routine. DS knows that he has to head upstairs and start his shower after the final jeopardy music.

I don’t have a doctor here yet, but I did the same things you’re doing, plus I iced it the first two days.

Luckily R took them in stride but I felt so bad doing it to him. Fortunately this one went better than last week's. He was cooperative this time instead of trying to withhold, and he verbalized that his tummy felt crampy and that he needed to poop, so maybe we made some progress!

DS knows that he has to head upstairs and start his shower after the final jeopardy music. The boys know it is time to head upstairs once Jeopardy comes on. If they are super lucky they get to watch and find out the names of all the contestants.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to start volunteering as a child advocate for the foster system. Eeeep. It’s a big responsibility.

DH is working super late tonight and I just put the kids to bed. DD (5) was crying and really upset because she wants a baby brother and sister. So we prayed for a baby brother or sister for her and a baby for me. She knows mommy and daddy had to pray for her and her brother for a long time, so she knows it doesn’t just happen. But she still wants to go out and buy things the baby will need.
So I’m chugging water and watching the latest Jurassic World movie while cuddling the pup.

I’m having one of those days when I’m completely over having to be responsible for everything my kids need from wake up to bed time. So I took a walk after bedtime and the fresh air did some good.
