Since I'm off Friday, I'm already over halfway through the week! I can't wait for the weekend.
Today I am doing a half a day of training and then I have to go back to the office for the second half. I'm scared for what awaits in my inbox at work.
What's going on in your world today?

Morning! Working a half day and then taking the kids to their 4yr and 18mo appointments. I have no idea why I scheduled them for a work day right at daycare nap time.... I'm sure they'll be delightful, especially since they were up at 5:45am.

Morning! Dd is sick, she’s running a high fever and just wants to cuddle a day, which I normally would love, but with ds around and the house being a mess... oh and apparently my washer broke down, walked into the laundry/storage room and got wet feet 😖😖😖.
ETA long live web shops, was planing on going into town to get a small gift for my SIL, and found the cutest wooden hangers online with a raccoon cut out that i could personalise for free!

I'm so overwhelmed with the amount I have to do before Sunday. It's the kind of thing that I could probably get done in five or six hours, uninterrupted. Or it's going to take me from now until Saturday to do everything with kids. I know it's just how it is, but man it sucks.

I feel way less productive now, pretty much anything I want/need to do takes a lot longer than it used to. Also, if I could somehow reclaim just the time I spend loading/unloading kids into car seats and putting their shoes on, I’d have an extra bunch of hours a week!

I felt this way last week and finally decided to just let most of it go. I didn't have all the cute decorations that I wanted for the party and I didn't finish all those little "details", but c and his friends didn't care. We had food, drinks and my house was clean. I'll call it a win!

I checked out three stores yesterday and it should've taken an hour maybe two tops and took almost three bc of carts, strollers, coats, etc.

I ordered a ton of stuff last night on Amazon prime and if it's not, enough, I can fill in the spaces with a big package of pink balloons. I know the food will be on point and I know I'll have all of Saturday, even by myself, to run the errands if I want. I just don't function as well at the last minute.

I get too overwhelmed and stressed to function well last minute! Last week I was running to 193748723648732 Michael's to find all the stupid wooden alligators (favors with paints) because I didn't order online in time and each store only had 1-2. I thought I'd lose my mind.

I was kind crazyish w B’s party last year bc it was her first friends party. But I realize, kids don’t care, they don’t notice all those details. So this year, I decided to stress less. All they will remember is how much fun they had on the trampolines. We’re only serving pizza for food. Plain white table cloths. One giant C balloon and one giant B balloon is the extent of my decor. 👍🏻

Good morning! Dh is working from home today and I’m chaperoning Landon’s second grade field trip to the zoo. I can’t wait to go on a field trip w B! My coworker and I were just talking about that sort of thing this morning as we were on the topic of flexible work schedules and why they’re great (necessary) for working moms. Have fun! 🦒

I wonder if I'll be different when Josie and Charlie start having friends parties, although I don't think I would have those at home because I'm sure kids want some kind of entertainment. I get a little stressed when it's my family. Some of them can be a little critical, thankfully never of me, but I have never really given them a reason to be because I stress so much before they come over. Since having kids, I read this before I have people over and it always centers me a little. The people are there to celebrate our family and to enjoy each other's company, not focus on how pretty my mantle looks. www.seriouseats.com/2014/08/simpler-entertaining-friday-night-dinners-end-loneliness-how-to-build-community-after-having-kids.html

Trying to make sense of all these files we got last week and file some things in them. It's freezing here today and I didn't wear enough layers.

Morning! MH is at the airport headed home! He has miscalculated the cash he has left and after buying startbucks coffee and a pack of mentos he has $7 to get him lunch. He says there are so many people leaving the island it is sad but understandable given the conditions. We are pretty excited to pick him up at the airport this afternoon. I am also looking forward to taking tomorrow off work and not having family or E at home to deal with.
