I cooked dinner last night for tonight, Greek stuffed peppers. Just have to throw them in the oven when I get home and feed the kids. I've been trying to do anything and everything to help myself out when I get home from work since I'm so short for time before the kids need baths and go to bed.
Me too! I have half an hour between getting home and then apocalyptic tired mode. It's impossible!
...So I talked to my friend and she's all "thanks for letting me know!"
Then 2 minutes later I get a text from another friend (one of her bridesmaids and a mutual friend) being like "my mom can babysit" and a big guilt trip. Now I feel awful. But DS has been taking daycare really hard (being away so much) and I don't think it would be wise to cut out one of his 2 days with me and on top of that, to send him to someone he has never met before. I feel terrible but that's just how it is right now. None of them have kids or are going to understand so I just look like a flakey friend. I felt like crying. But now I am kind of pissed off as to why my original friend didn't just say something directly to me? Why are we involving other people?
Anyway. I need a very stiff drink tonight. And good riddance to the wedding.
Some random person watching my kids. For 14 hours. Maybe if they were like 10. A baby and a toodler? Strong nope.

tuscanlatte that's weird your friend didn't invite your kids but w/e. Definitely don't feel guilty! Also, maybe you sounded really bad on the phone and your friend reached out to her friend because she wanted to help. Although, I'm a sucker for always thinking the best of people so....
Couldn't put W down late because H was running an hour late so they wouldn't have seen each other for a second night in a row. He was such a fuss but and at one point ripped my glasses off and then kicked me in the face. H is reading him a book right now and I'm going to get a drink.

I think she did mean to help, I just feel like I offended her by still saying no. I'm releasing it haha.
Got a PrimeDay deal for a croquet set for the backyard. Obviously it's for us and when we have get togethers. DH states "it says it's for 3 and up". Obviously our baby isn't going to be playing croquet Einstein.
2dumbdogsskinandbones Huh. Thanks! For some reason I thought it was an acronym, like BLT. Or BLAT. So BRAT could be...bacon, radicchio, avocado, tomato.

Anyway. Bratwurst makes sense.
Fwiw, I hate brats. But I don't know what koko means and I see that all over the boards.

@janetheconquerer I just decided to look at southwest get away fares for shits and giggles, it's ridiculously cheap to fly between us. Too bad that I'll be working that Saturday
