Not sure on the plan for today.

Day 3 of solo parenting. The kids are both watching videos so I can get a minute. No shame.

So Little can me a little perspective this weekend. Saturday, DH was working on a home project in the attic. Little was bouncing between me and DH. Little is down with me when DH comes downstairs for something and asks Little what he is doing. Little said "spending time with Mommy" is the happiest voice. I wasn't doing anything special. I was on the floor jumping between each kid but no fun activity or major awesome mommy moment. But he was so freaking happy just to be there. All the heart eyes for this. You need to write it down so you can remind yourself that he's an awesome kid during his teenage years. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

So there was this lady, she's Filipino, that went to a liquor store in a suburb of the twin cities to purchase wine for the weekend. After she paid (she bought 6 bottles of wine) they asked to search her bag. When she questioned it, They claimed they do that to everyone but no one else's bag/purse was checked while she was there. She called a few minutes later and talked to the owner who said "we searched you because we couldn't watch you shop. I'm assuming you're black, we've had a lot of theft by black people. Don't come back here"
She's since gotten the city and Filipino of immigrants rights of MN involved. She's also contacted the corporate office. They also protested outside her and her husbands store yesterday (reminder first Sunday ever in history of mn of being open). The media will be airing something tonight. She was able to find to more complaints from minority people experiencing the same thing she did too.
I am absolutely heartbroken that this is happening in my state and in the twin cities area at that. I am curious to see how this will unfold.

Nap time is happening an hour ahead of schedule today. The tantrums are rolling like a wheel and I. Am. Over it.
If she wakes up pleasant, maybe we'll go swimming at my parents house.

jedi yikes. I know white people are usually like "surely they didn't say it exactly like that!" But man, were my eyes opened after I started shopping with DH. He gets followed around, searched, etc every single time. Its.... something.

I'm having a pretty relaxing day. The kids and I had coffee in their "clubhouse" this morning, I got a bunch of laundry and dishes done and we went on a long family walk.

Getting some gym time in so I can mitigate some of the eating/ drinking damage I've done over the weekend. Treadmill and now on the bike. Going to get my squats in next CestLaVie!

Pizzaslut, so so here. I got E in bed in his crib by 9:30. He climbed out of his crib around 8 so I couldn't leave him in there. I took him in bed with me and I laid there and pretended to sleep while he tossed, turned, sat up, poked me, head butted me, sang, counted, etc. Finally he passed out around 9 and I let him get into a deeper sleep and transferred him. He woke up around 4am and DH took him with him into the guest bed and I think they slept until about 6. So way better than the night before???? I am so hoping this is molars and we'll get our sweet bedtime boy back soon.

Working until 3. I've been asking for more work, so I've been busy but the days go by fast.
H is home today, but he's cooking ribs and cleaned the kitchen. We might try to see the city fireworks tonight, but I'm not going to push M if he's not up for it.
I had replies, but I forgot them all. I'll be back after work and try to actually interact.

I don't use tapa; I did at one point but prefer the web browser. Thanks for thinking of me though!

DH and I had a fight last night and things are still weird today, which I hate. DD1 is sick and has a nasty fever so it's just a shittastic day all around here. Blah

I'm deciding between an iced coffee or just going home and having a spiked Seltzer's after I get the kids.
Maybe I'll do both.

Neither kid will nap. When I let C out of her room she had stinky diarrhea, but is otherwise acting okay. Really hoping it was a fluke from something she ate and not a virus. I no longer feel guilty that she's only eaten cheerios, yogurt and milk today.

Bittersweet growing up moment: J asked to take a shower. He's been afraid of it, so this was huge for him. He did everything by himself, and was so proud that he showered like a grown up. Growing up so fast!

Trying to convince the girls that it is super fun to pick up all the Barbie shoes and accessories and put them in the Barbie closet. FTR I tried to confiscate all small pieces immediately and only let them play with clothes, but DD1 got a closet with accessories for Christmas and I gave up. I purge allll the little pieces whenever I can. DD has caught me a few times and I just tell her they arent safe for DS, hes too little. Once we get past the million hour long "Not for DS, but yes for me right? and Im a big girl so I can play with them, just not him (DS)" discussion, shes ok with the purge.

Ds was still napping when I went to pick them up and dd was about to have 4th of July smores with her class so I went and bought 2 bottles of wine, got an iced coffee, swung by the house to drop off said wine and h was home early so he came with me to get the kids. Now we are drinking while the kids are running around. I love getting home early
