I don't even get why you'd want to stay. Unless there is nothing else in the area and you're too far away from home, I'd be hanging out in a store if nothing else. Get some groceries, gas, whatever. That’s how I look at it...45 free minutes! There is plenty around here. And if you want to read or just sit in your car, fine, just move away from the entrance and park somewhere else. Getting 45 minutes alone sounds like pure heaven. Don’t know when That will happen since everything is still closed and my kids are Level 10 clingers, though.

Random Tuesday vent: the ballet studio specifically asks parents to drop their kid and leave/park elsewhere (not sit in parking spots immediately outside dance studio). When I dropped C off there were FIVE moms parked in front just chilling on their phones, which necessitated me parking way far away and CARRYING C (because ballet shoes). Why can’t ppl follow the rules. Super annoying. I always had my girls wear other shoes and then change into her ballet shoes once we got to their classroom.

Also, Hi! I ran errands after taking S to school and then we met friends for lunch and to play at the park after picking her up. Just been hanging at home, working on laundry, since then. I have to work tonight and we are going to have tacos/quesadillas for supper.

Oh yes, I get time alone, just not to sit and do nothing for 45 minutes.😂They are at Pete’s every other weekend. And when we have tried activities, they want me helicoptering. I am sure that will change as they get older, they are just not wanting a lot of independence at the moment. Maybe that’s because they are with Pete every other weekend and want to be all over me when they’re here? It is not uncommon to have all three piled on my lap at once.

I’m at soccer with B and I recommended to her coaches that she not play on defense. She’s much better at mid field! They should just bring me on as an assistant coach....

Aa per our earlier conversation, I am currently sitting in the dance parking lot. I could have gone home and started dinner, but instead I made a quick Target run and am now sitting in my car eating dark chocolate espresso beans. It's so nice and quiet.
Mh has once again ruined my Tuesday evening Netflix binge plans by cancelling band practice for the rest of the month. 🤬

Perhaps it's time to implement daddy daughter evenings on those nights while mommy sits back and Netflixs.

In normal times I would but right now it’s such a quick handoff. I open the exterior door, there’s someone waiting to take C’s temp, she gets a pump of hand sanitizer, and is whisked away to her class. 15 seconds, max (assuming I don’t have to park in Georgia 🤣)

One of the moms in my neighborhood whose daughter also goes to B’s school, offered to pick B up today. She had a 3rd row in her vehicle and extra booster seats (all of which, I do not). So while I took her up on the offer, I feel bad that I most likely won’t ever be able to repay her. Yes I could help her in a pinch, but otherwise it would be an inconvenience to uninstall C’s car seat and re-install a booster for daughter, on a regular basis. Anyhow, I’m kinda anxious to see how this goes. I’m not positive that B could spot my neighbor’s car. I told her to look for the other little girl. I wouldn't stress about it! There's a girl down the street who is in C's virtual class. The mom works at home and the kids and I are always outside during breaks so I tell her to send the girl over. She keeps saying she needs to return the favor but I'm already doing it and it really doesn't add much for me having her daughter come play for an hour outside. I honestly just want to help her out a tad and don't want anything in return. I think life is a shit show now and people just want to help where they can and don't expect a direct return in the favor.

One of the counselors from summer camp that M LOVES any babysat for us once, text me Sunday night to tell me she left something for the kids on the porch. I told her we were at my in laws' house and would get it when we got home. She left the kids glitter crayons, an activity book and a how to fold different paper airplanes activity gift box. There was a note attached saying "I hope you had a great first week at school." So sweet!

Did you play soccer growing up? I know nothing about soccer except what we learned in gym class. H’s soccer isn’t even as organized as what you’re saying. I’m pretty sure it’s just kids swarming after the ball trying to kick it the right direction hopefully.

Spoiling the fur kids. OF COURSE they need a Halloween Hotel. Their Santa's Workshop from last Christmas was on its last leg, so they got an upgrade.

They have special burn dressing bandages that are medicated. The important thing is to keep it moist and covered.

Nothing in our town is open past 8. Slather it with vasoline and cover it with bandages then. I will stop “momming” you now.
