Oh no mc13. Fingers crossed for him, and that sucks that he doesn’t want to take it seriously. I hope it’s negative but if it comes back positive, I can feel my anger bubbling already. Like stay the eff away from me and the kids until we know for sure. It’s not that hard.

Today's P's first day. I'm having all kinds of feelings I can't identify and I don't know why. She was there barely a month ago. But this is a new room and new teachers and our last year at our beloved school. And I'm incredibly sad about some of the things she won't get this year that they normally do. I think I'm just over everything today.

I’m really getting annoyed with adults projecting their feelings about masks onto my kid. No, he isn’t uncomfortable. No, he has never complained once. No, I don’t have to force him to wear it.
I swear my five-year-old has a better understanding of adapting to take basic precautions than these grown ups. A family member (with no young children at home) said “well I’m just being realistic”. You’re being realistic about how *my* kid is miserable wearing a mask? 🤔🤔🤔

But they are everyone doing it. It’s normal now. Toddlers also don’t want to be wearing pants. But when we go out on a walk, we all wear pants. We all wear masks. Potato, potato.

For some reason I read "Potato, potato" in the voice of that Little Caesar's pizza guy saying "Pizza Pizza"

I say the “pizza pizza” thing in a weird voice not infrequently.
When I’m 90-years-old in the nursing home with dementia I’ll probably be sitting in my recliner muttering “pizza pizza” under my breath.

I'm currently dealing with other people telling my kids it's okay to take off their masks. No, other mom at the co-op, I've told my kids to wear their masks when we're inside, you don't get to tell them it's okay not to. And I really don't appreciate you then walking it back by saying "if mom says it's okay" so I have to be the bad guy and tell them to keep it on. How about you just ask me first, mmmmmkay? That's not "deferring to the parent's wishes" that's undermining my authority in front of my kid and then trying to backpedal out of it.

Not even regarding masks. "Here, want a donut? If mom says its okay?" "Here want this puppy? Oh ask your mom first?"
Always the bad guy.

I don't know why, but I just feel like screaming today. Between the kids' school management, household management, client load, and my working dog clearly being put on the back burner (and her getting super antsy and annoying because of it).. I'm just about to lose my mind.

Thanks. I'm feeling ok now. I'm sure my psychiatrist will laugh at me when I tell her about it next week.

We're homebound again bc of the smoke and ash from the wildfires. MH is back on crutches again. I yelled at my kids to shut up today. I'm over all of this. Tomorrow has to be better. ETA oh wait, it won't. I have to take my car in for new tires while I have the kids bc MH has refused to do it. Ass.

What!?!? Crisis averted. Just a mixup in the paperwork. But my gosh. Who just sneaks up and shuts off power?! We’ve had our water shut off like that before. All of a sudden we had no water, so I immediately called the water dept and was told our bill was all paid up and the guy must have shut the wrong house off. A few minutes later we saw someone pull up and turn it back on at the street. They are very sneaky apparently! It was about 4:00 on a Friday and I would have been very pissed if we hadn’t been able to get ahold of anyone and had to go through the weekend without water.

I started to get a headache and my throat was sore again after breakfast so I went to get tested. It was wildly busy and I’m incredibly anxious.
