N did her dance this morning!! Whew. Sigh of relief. Hopefully that helped her get over the anxiety hump. Now we’re getting a pedicure as a reward then to lunch. Yay! Go N! That’s awesome |

So jealous of all the nice weather; go out and enjoy it, I’m living vicariously thru you guys! Happy birthday xolastunicornxo! tallb Vietnam Vets do free pick-ups in our area, maybe try there? Or yeah, curb alert it...it amazes me the crap people will grab for free off the side of the road. They gave us a list of free pickups and I looks like they are listed, hoping they do weekends. I'm feeling lazy but mh wants the garage cleared so he can get a treadmill. |

Hiii. DH and Colin went skiing so Chase and I went to say hi to my running group. There is a nice playground there and it wasn't too cold, so we hung out for a bit. Now we're home hanging out. The oil truck came by so Chase was thrilled.
If DH and Col get home early enough, I'll hit the gym while Chase naps. Otherwise I'll shower so we can hit the road to meet up with my family (minus my sister) for dinner tonight. DH promised the boys a trip to the carwash on our way - woohoo. Haha.

We went to the childrens museum and are on our way to lunch. I'm going to a play with mil and sil tonight. It's called Dead Serious About Life. It's a group that travels to high schools raising awareness for teen suicide. Mil and I both think its important for sil (shes 15) to see. So we're making a girls night of it.

I went for a long walk this morning and when I got back, Dude was up waiting for me on the couch. He asked if I always go walking all night long LOL.
We took the kids to the park and met up with a couple boys from Atticus’ class. I talk to their moms a couple times a week and they’re familiar with X’s situation. They asked about the evaluations and when I told them about the behavioral stuff they commented that he’s the happiest, sweetest two year-old they’ve ever seen. So that just reaffirmed that the ST is nuts and I won’t be listening to her crappy recommendations.
The little ones are down for nap and I’m about to take Atticus to Chuck E. Cheese. Pray that I am able to emerge with my sanity intact.

We went to the gym and to one store. I thought hitting the gym would give me the energy boost I need to tackle disorder in my house, but it is completely overwhelming. I am trying to get it together, but man I do a little and it looks like I did nothing. Three fridays in a row working all day or traveling has really set me back. Help.
And M2 won’t nap. He was asleep for a few minutes before I picked them up from child watch and I guess that was enough to derail naptime. Uuuggggghhh.
Ok, enough of me complaining.

lahdeedah can you get some help, like a cleaning person, to get through this solo time? I know that I would need any free minute to relax if I was working and parenting two without DH.

I had lunch and pedis with my mom. It’s my monthly obligation basically to keep her off my butt all the time. At least she paid! Then I went to Target and finished groceries. Dh took C to a local Chuck E. Cheese type place so now we are all relaxing. Well kind of. The antibiotics are giving me stomach issues so semi relaxing. Good news is I am eating less 🤷♀️

I have a cleaning lady that comes once a month. It’s not so much the cleaning, it’s all the kids crap all over on top of everything I need to do like laundry, dishes, etc. Like if the cleaning lady was coming today, all this stuff would have to be done so she could see all the surfaces to clean. Those few hours on Friday afternoons give me just enough time to keep the house in balance and tidy. Unfortunately, I haven’t had that for the last three weeks. |

Mh is pissy today. He's pouting or something, but since he doesn't speak his feelings I just have to sit here with no clue. I assume it's because he hasn't had any alcohol today. He asked if he could go grab some beers and I said no. So now he's really pissy.

I struggle with that stuff too, by the end of the week we are doing the bare minimum. The mail, the papers, getting the folded laundry actually put away, etc.. We discuss getting a cleaner but it'd be stressful getting it ready for her to clean.. |

Nordstrom took back my shoes and I found a jacket I really like at Talbot's for spring..and then I out the rest of the credit on a gift card for my MIL for mother's day. I am tired of trying to find something I like for myself there. I was quite impressed with myself. Lots of school work on the agenda tonight since it's supposed to be mid 60s tomorrow afternoon and need some fresh air.

It can be stressful getting ready for her, but it does force me to put everything away and establish some order, so I find that it helps in the long run. |

I’m sorry lahdeedah. Life is overwhelming and there is always a never ending ‘to do list’. Let’s run away to dip our toes in white sandy beaches whilst drinking slushy double shot drinks that were brought to us by hot, young pool boys that give us googly eyes cause we’re babes. Ok? See you soon. |

Well, found out one reason he was annoyed. Get ready for this girls. It was because when we got home from swim Cadence randomly started calling Cobalt the kitten, Lloyd. I thought it was hilarious. Such a random name. Mh got annoyed by it. He asked how I would feel if someone started calling me by another name. Really? The cat clearly didn't care.

Can you figure out what's up with mine? He was in a mood all day, I just avoided him and hoping he wakes up better tomorrow 🤷🙄 |
