In other news....
H plans to paint C's room today. Pink. She picked out a dark pink and a light, barely pink. Three walls will be light. I'm not crazy about this but she's so excited.

I'm so glad it's Wednesday. I slept funny Monday night and my neck is sore. I can barely move my head. We're going to my mom's tonight, and then I start my job tomorrow. I hope it's not terrible.

I'm trying to stay productive this summer. I'm aiming for one load of laundry, one room to vacuum, and one pick up/declutter a day in top of regular cooking and dishes. I've actually written down which room to vacuum, which load of laundry, and which declutter area in my planner for each day. It's helping.
H is doing bigger project like hanging things and painting. I have to remind myself of that when I feel cranky that I'm the only one cleaning. He is getting a lot done. He's got more follow through than usual and I'm adding things to his list while I can.

Here New Year's Eve is when all the home fireworks are set off. Thankfully it doesn't go on forever because it's usually freezing outside!! Hahaha!
I am going to bed semi-early tonight because I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. I couldn't fall asleep and then DD2 wet the bed at 4:45 and since my alarm went off at 5:05 I didn't really even try to fall back asleep.

nellieoleson, dizzycooks I signed up to be a courier for skip the dishes. My first 2 shifts are tomorrow. It's been a few weeks since I signed up but we've been busy. It's super flexible so I can have days off whenever I need, and I can get extra shifts whenever H is home.

We survived the 4th. I did. It get to sleep all day. Or even nap. But it was nonetheless an enjoyable day. L and I had a great time playing on the beach together. No one got sunburned. The rest of this week is hellacious. So I may not be checking in much again. This year the summer is kicking my ass. I need to get more sleep. The struggle is real.

crimsonandclover - hope you got better rest last night! That sounds exhausting. kcrkcs - hang in there! Go easy on yourself if and when you get little opportunities to rest. AFM - today I'm driving up to Olympia, WA with the girls to hang out with a friend and see the new house she recently bought. She isn't living there yet, but the place has a view of the puget sound with a path down to the beach, so hopefully we can putter along the water for a while and dd2 doesn't put a dead jellyfish in her mouth or something. I'm excited to go up there since I went to college in Olympia and it's a cute little town right on the water, but I'm kinda stressing about having the girls in the car for that long! It's about 2 hours each way, not including the traffic we'll likely hit coming in and out of Portland. I have a feeling it's either going to be crazy screaming and crying from the backseat or so much car sleeping that they will never ever ever go to bed tonight. But I feel the need for an adventure, so wish me luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm parked in a parking lot by my bank waiting for the skip the dishes app to find a delivery for me. I probably could've waited at home, but I needed to get cash before my shift. I really hope I'm not just sitting here for the next 3.5 hours.

ugh, ticks, gross! I hope you don't have any issues from it @kelltothekell. Hope your first day working went well, lollipop! We came back from the cabin last night. We didn't have much option on when to come home since I have to work and H has to work tonight. So it was easiest to leave after dinner. I gave the kids baths, in their jammies and loaded the car and off we went. I figured since DD had been doing so well on road trips this would not be an issue and she would just fall asleep like usual. Newp. After the first hour she screamed and hyyperventilated for about 45 min. It was awful. She finally fell asleep. We got home and both kids were transferred to bed and stayed asleep. So that part was great!

scorpioscuba it went pretty well! I got like 5 deliveries in the last 2 hours of my first shift, and 2 in my whole 4 hour shift last night. I had another shift this morning and one this evening. I'm tired. I couldn't sleep after I got home at 2 a.m., and then had to be up and out the door for 9.

We had a fun day today! Library and hanging at home. Hoping to relax and maybe BBQ with friends this weekend. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Dds new thing is crawling up in everything! And she doesn't want help. She wants to do it all by herself. This has been such a fun age. I love how she is becoming more independent but still loves to snuggle all the time.

Tldr some of my clients are jackasses and there is no need to read further. Oh and I miss you alll. 😘
So one of my longest and easiest clients called me today to tell me that she doesn't think it's appropriate for me to have my child with me in the barn or at horse shows. That it's a burden to everyone and that It hinders me doing my job... I will say that after my last trip I was concerned that the other adults had spent too much time witch my child and that it was too much. But that was way beyond the pale to say it hinders my work. Because I bust my ass for these people and go way beyond the job description to make things easier for them. I brought someone along st my expense to facilitate everything because I knew babycakes was a distraction. My mistake apparently was not just using this Person for my own needs and letting her help others. Point and notes taken. In this clients defense they mentioned they loved my kid and didn't want to make me mad. Not in their defense they insulted my husband my work and my parenting. I have cried and raged so many times today. Fuck I am so sorry to come and dump this here after hardly participating in days. I just needed to unload my thoughts while i process. I will be getting a babysitter next time. And everyone can sort out their own children and see how that works. Because normally i work 16+hr days to accommodate their needs beyond what they technically pay for.

kcrkcs, I'm so sorry. Big HUGS. I know how fucking hard you work and to have someone pick on something that is, in my mind, so minor, really is shitty.

kcrkcs that sucks. I am sorry she said that and I'm sorry it's hard to have L with you at work. It sounds like you're finding a pace that will work, but it'll take time. Hugs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Http://notjustnovels.wordpress.com
