Ugh!!! My good friend is going through a break up. It’s not even bad and honestly he sucked, but y’all she just asked to come sleep over. Which means she definitely doesn’t want to be alone right now but wow I am not great at this. My best friends know I am not the cry on the shoulder type.
I suck. I don’t know what to text back.

I usually make pizza on Fridays, but I have a coupon and am ordering as soon as H leaves for work. I also want wings.

I could really do without being milked right now. 175 days or fewer left.

@gentleapricot i'm so genuinely sorry. i hate those situations. maybe use the kid as leverage for a reason not to?
i will say that usually if i'm feeling very "no thank you" to seeing a friend at a certain time, it doesn't end up so bad if i do say yes.

We made it through the first (short) week of preschool. When I pick him up he tells me he kept thinking about me and it breaks and melts my heart.

Definitely drinking starting NOW. Dropping my ring at the jeweler tomorrow to get sized! Lest I tempt the wrath of whatever from high atop the thing. I couldn't keep up with the FFFC thread but saw you got your ring back. Where did he find it??

DS's friend declared our pizza the best he's ever had, and my H is acting like he was awarded a Michelin star 🙄

Drinking here. Def feels like fall, which is fine but why can't it ever stay in the 70s? Why is that such a hard temp range for Chicago area?

I took the day off today. I had a conference call I had to take at 11 and we were going to tile our shower. Instead, we binged Cobra Kai, I took my call, and we did 2 small rows of the shower before we ran out of whatever thing we needed. So we finished Corba Kai. Not gonna lie, it was a batter day than planned.

We got takeout from Olive Garden. DD and I are going to a neighbor’s house to watch a movie on their patio. She’s already in her pjs and asked me to bring a blanket, pillow and a stuffed animal.

I was supposed to go mow tonight but evidently I found poison ivy last night and my eye is swollen so instead I'm waiting in my truck to be seen at urgent care.

Hello. I am almost off work. I plan to do some yoga tonight and then commence my drinking. I can't decide between red wine and a vodka tonic. Hmm. I guess I will see what I feel like. I can't go overboard because I work tomorrow and it's looking like a really busy day.
I am deciding between cheese and crackers and a quiche for dinner. I bought 2 different cheese sampler sets for our vacation that never happened and we need to consume them. Just a matter of if it's tonight or tomorrow night.

So I was temporarily laid off at the end of March. Then I was permanently laid off at the beginning of the month, but I was offered a job today! I accepted, because I have no choice. Things are bad for us financially right now. I made a few concessions that I'm not too happy about, one of which is starting on Monday in office. But like I said, I need to be making money again. I've been getting butterfly feelings in my tummy off and on all day. It's such a quick turnaround for me. And DD's daycare isn't open yet 😭 MIL will be watching her, which is not ideal.
We have friends coming over tonight for a socially distant backyard hangout. We have drinks, donuts and chips. Hopefully I'll relax a bit.

I had to call the Help Desk bc a row of keys on my laptop stopped working. Our frontlines are trying to trouble shoot. I have no hope they'll fix it but I don't know that there's a spare laptop floating around in storage. Can you at least plug a keyboard into it for now? Its not ideal but might get you through.

The water is out in our complex, so fast food for dinner tonight. Huzzah!
I see the orthopedist on Mon to get my stitches checked and recast. I’m stupidly excited for my “big trip” in the car and out of the house.
I’m exactly one week out from surgery today. Only 11 more weeks bedridden to go!

I don’t wannnnnaaaaa I an not a slumber party bitch either. Everyone go home to their own beds. I would use the tactics I use on my inlaws. Take or leave this 2nd hand therapy as you wish! 1- empathize: “you really don’t want to be alone right now! This is hard.” 2 - set the boundary: “ I can’t do a sleepover, I have to be lights out by 11 here.” 3 - say what you will do: “we could do a movie night if you want a distraction?”

I don’t wannnnnaaaaa I totally get it. I am the same way. H brought up getting a nanny at some point if we had another kid, and I just very DNW for the same reason. I have this need to entertain and I can never fully relax when people are in my house, unless it's like... my sister, mom, or MIL.

Spaghetti sauce stains cement and Walmart plastic bags are shit. Ask me how I know. I wasn’t going to drink tonight but... A pressure washer will take it right out. A little milk helps too.

A kid showed up to remote learning with no clothes on today. (I think maybe underwear +/- shorts?) The teacher handled it really well. “Buddy, you can put your pjs on if you want but you have to wear clothes” 🤦♀️ There was an older male sibling walking around shirtless in the kitchen behind one of the kids in ours today. The teacher laughingly mentioned it and the older kid skedaddled out of the camera frame. Such is DL life.

My BFF and her fam are the only folks I’ll do a sleepover with. And that’s only because they can take the guest bedroom and our kiddos split DS’ bunk bed. And the kids have been BFFs since diapers and play so well together we barely have to check on them.
HELL NO to anyone else up in my space.
