Well, I always end up wiping off the bottom line, so at least I don't go out with it. I just see Pinterest images like these and then feel like I've failed b/c I can't achieve the look Okay, I don't know much, but that looks mostly like tightlining to me, with maybe a dusting of dark eyeshadow on the outside corner? Maybe someone is better than me XD I don't even know what tight-lining is 😬

The twins turned 5 today. I still can't fathom how that's possible. I cannot believe that our babies are all growing up 😱. Are they starting K in the fall? Yes!

Maybe someone is better than me XD I don't even know what tight-lining is 😬 using a pencil eyeliner to line the waterline, on the inside of the eyelashes. There's lots of videos on how to do it. It's a little awkward at first but gets easier. Do not EVER use gel or powder liner though, it'll get all over your eyeball.

I need someone to show me how to makeup. I'm trying to get better at eyeliner, but whenever I try to use it on the bottom, I end up looking like an Emo kid that's trying too hard. I thought we* were doing no bottom eyeliner these last several years! I used to do it on the bottom (poorly) but now I just do the top (also poorly). * I don’t know who we is… society? Oh.

I use a gel pencil to line, then eyeshadow to smoke it out so it isn’t so harsh. And ELF wow brow for my brows. It’s the best and so cheap.

I haven't used eye liner or mascara on my bottom lashes in many years, I just put mascara on the top lashes and occasionally a thin line of eyeliner. I think it's very face-dependent!

I'm also trying to work with vv short hair and a muscular build. So like, really trying not to look like a 12yo boy 😬

It’s a process.

To be fair, she just started watching the animated series on Netflix, and is really into it, so that's why she's thinking about Halloween.

It’s a process. I ask for my kids' costumes as their September birthday gifts and have been thinking about it since at least May. I need one of the grandparents to get the Wild Kratts creature power vests from amazon before charlotte does 😝

So M (age 5) was nervous and excited about day camp. She cried at dropoff on day one. I picked her up in the snack dab middle of the pickup window of time, she was cheerful at first but then just said it wasn’t much fun.
After day one, she said it was okay, but that she thought I signed her up for one DAY, not one WEEK. How she didn’t want to go back, please don’t make her go. I had to give her melatonin to help her sleep and she woke me up this AM by asking if she could go to work with me instead.
Day two, I made her go. She cried off and on about it all morning. I promised I’d pick her up at the very beginning of the pickup window. Dropoff sucked. Massive tears.
So as promised, I came to pick her up the very minute I could. She’s happy and smiling, had a great day. No complaints. Is perfectly willing to go back tomorrow.
However - H (age 7) sobbed in the car and is still treating me coldly because I picked him up “so early.”
I literally cannot win. Parenting sucks.

If I’m early, why didn’t I get there later. If I’m later, why did I take so long?

I'm hiding from my fighting children. I could use a drink, but that would require leaving my room...

I am so proud of M. She struggles with pretty crippling anxiety, but she is also very social and needs people. So it’s gotten worse during the pandemic.
C wanted to sign up for gymnastics because her BFF was doing it. M was adamant that she didn’t want to. But after watching C doing it she decided to sign up. Today was her first class. She was freaking out ahead of the class, started ok, but then had a panic attack after the class started skipping during warm up and she didn’t know how. She ran over to me for a few minutes and was positive that she wasn’t going back. But then she did! And she did great! I could see that she a few more moments, but she powered through and kept going.
I know how hard this was for her and how proud she is of herself for her courage.

mapleme yay! I bet that made you so proud. My DS1 is similar, right down to the panic attack at his first soccer practice this fall. It’s pretty tough to witness as a mom and try to support them in all the right ways. 💚

We went to a movie last night!
We are at full capacity here, but there were maybe 12 people in the theater?
I’m exhausted, we watched Black Widow (okay) and the season finale of Loki (very happy with how this one went).
I need a nap.
