What's something good that's getting you through until the weekend starts?

I called yesterday afternoon to get our secondary well looked at, because it hasn't been consistently working since we moved in, and they came out first thing this morning and had the parts needed to replace the pump so they're almost done! Less than 24 hrs from when I called.

My High school BFF is flying in tonight to spend the weekend with me! I am sooo excited. She gets in tonight and we're having a girls' day in NYC with another friend tomorrow while J takes Nugget to his parents' house. We're going to see two Broadway shows, which I am especially excited about because I haven't been to a Broadway show in several years and I love theater. It'll be a whirlwind weekend, but I'm really looking forward to it.

My baby turns 1 today. I managed to get most of the afternoon off so we are going to a new spray park. I have to work all weekend so I am very glad to have this time with her.

Thinking about the beer I'll crack open when I get home from work today. Or, more realistically, once the kids are in bed.

We're starting a new Friday family night tradition and I think we're planning on going out for pizza.

Also, that's the garage fridge. Don't judge it's dirtiness. It's probably literally dirt lol

A stayed home from work and just left for his bike race (tomorrow).
I was going to go with the kids, but M just throws up almost every car ride and I can't handle it. I think we're not going to go. It sucks because I have gone to this race with A every year for ages. Oh well.
Puke is ruining my summer.
Also when the kids wake up from naps, they're both going to sob that he's gone.
So I need to figure out a solo-parenting way to make today a fri-yay.
Takeout will be happening for dinner.

Tonight I'll probably have some wine and play cards with MH after we put the kiddo to bed. So that'll be nice. I think tomorrow morning we are planning to take DS to this nice/big park that's about 25 minutes away. The high is 95 tomorrow so hopefully we won't melt.

E started kindergarten today! It's been a pretty awesome day with just P and I. Gym, lunch with friends, nap time now, then maybe I'll take the girls to the pool for a couple hours after school.

DH told me at dinner tonight that his boss wanted to meet with him right at the end of the day. He was stressing because he thought that she overheard him complaining about her to another coworker. Turns out she was giving him a raise.

Twas the first day of school for us too, C is in K and O in Pre-K. I really hope the pick up at C's school improves because it was ridiculous. Today was DH's day off after a very long week of him being away, so we're trying to soak it up before he has to go back to work tomorrow.

I'm drinking a gin and tonic while folding laundry and watching Bob's Burgers. It's better than it sounds.

I'm having a bad night. One of A's aunts called and was pretty shitty to me.
Then I put H and M to bed and since A isn't home, I knew M's grumpiness lately (paired with tendency to cry til she throws up) would be trouble. I yelled at her to stop crying many times until I lost it, turned on all the lights and brought her into H's room so she wouldn't be alone. I went and cooled off by going to the chicken coop, and then came back and said they'd sleep in the same room so neither would be alone.
So I lost my temper twice and yelled at my daughter who isn't even two.
But they're both sleeping in H's room and it is cute. Fingers crossed it doesn't all unravel MOTN.

Hugs, OR. solo parenting is hard and you're a good mom. Have an adult beverage and think about how cute your Littles are sleeping soundly together

Have an adult beverage and think about how cute your Littles are sleeping soundly together No adult beverages allowed, which is probably good because I'd want like 12 in an unhealthy way. However, I am going to take a full unisom tonight, instead of half. Thanks, rugger.

Well, then visit with your chickens again and take that unisom with your feet propped up.

I'm sorry you had a bad night OR. I've been there, too, with the yelling. It sucks, but it doesn't make you any less of a wonderful mom. Enjoy their cuteness and get some good sleep tonight.

The unisom and room sharing were both bad ideas.

What a stupid night. I'm so tired. From 2am until 8am I was basically just going back and forth between J's room and M. Why, children, WHY?!
