You know you are an adult when you look forward to getting back to your routine and going to work after a long weekend isn't so bad. Getting up was the only hard thing this morning.

FFMC - i can't understand my 2 year old but my 4 year old can so I often refer to her - "A, what did he just say" and she tells me.
This morning. C - garden growing. Me - the garden is growing? (thinking what garden is he talking about, we don't have a garden) C - no. garden growing. Me - A what did he just say. A - that a car is coming. C - Yes, car coming. Me - stares blankly ahead.

I stayed off for most of the weekend. It was a nice recharge. Got the interior all decked out for Christmas, did some online shopping and just kind of laid low. AF paid a visit yesterday so I'm feeling a little crappy today. I think a greasy breakfast is in my future.

Betweenthelines, we got our tree up and some decorations up as well. Will need to continue to work on it this week.

RunsforWineandCarbs, Little Bones also serves as a translator. He can even pick up what Littlest Bones says with a paci in his mouth. I seriously find it amazing.

A 3 hour car drive back home took 5. The boys were really good so I'm not complaining. We managed to get the tree up and a few decorations.
Back to reality today.

RunsforWineandCarbs I'm constantly translating at home because DH can't understand Abigail. That's funny that your daughter translates for C!

The kids were amazing on the late night flight back this weekend. I spent yesterday unpacking and cleaning but I'm still nowhere near ready to start the week again. I still need to meal plan so I can grocery shop this morning then it's back to work this afternoon.

The only thing nice about getting back into a regular routine (although s1 has off today) is I will no longer be confused about what day it is anymore.

Ok, I take back my earlier statement about happy to be back at work. People are crazy today and annoying me. They need to stop it right now.

I'm back! I had a fun weekend but it was so stressful too trying to pull everything together by myself.
DH is pulling the "why didn't you text and ask how the kids are?" shit. I have no energy for that today.

CestLaVie , "because I knew you were perfectly capable of keeping all of the kids limbs attached to their bodies" lol that was pretty much what I said. I was like, "oh was there reason to worry?"

Last week was really good and productive. I purged so much so hopefully packing the house will be easier. It was really nice to not work and focus on us.

Greetings. We had music today. Once again Ethan was the only toddler that wasn't running around the whole time. he actually collided with one kid and pushed another kid down. I felt terrible. Then we ran some errands. I attempted to make somewhat healthy doughnuts for S1's lunch. Long story that i'm to lazy to tell. I am also attempting to make kinetic sand. Again because apparently this is an almost impossible task. Ethan basically napped like crap. meanwhile my kindergartener (who is off today) fell asleep in the middle of a movie. We should really go outside its usually warm. but i'm lazy.

I just spent days in the leggings thread on general discussion 😂
Today was busy of course after the holiday. I took M back to the doctor for the repeat strep swab. He's not a carrier, which is good, but it also means he's just getting strep a bunch.
We got the tree and stockings up, so all my decorating is done.

I enjoyed hanging out with Charlotte all weekend. I was sad to return to the grid today.
I planted tulip bulbs over the weekend but then a neighbor stopped by and said that deer might eat them in the spring. Cool. I probably wasted time and money.

If you can enjoy them for a few days before that happens it's worth it!

The contractor is coming tomorrow morning to measure the kitchen and draw up plans for our remodel. I should clean up the disaster on my kitchen counters but I'm tempted to just move all the piles of mail/junk upstairs where they won't be seen and call it a day.
