Well instead of being at the gym I'm sitting in the daycare parking lot. My sister called that she was running late and asked if I could get the kids since the daycare is close to my work. I got them and realized I don't have carseats so we are chilling in the car. At this rate I won't get home until bedtime.
I work in a very interesting and quirky neighborhood. One of the residents of this neighborhood has started to crochet small sweaters for the trees and then clandestinely dress the tree trunks in these sweaters over night. It started Monday. And now like for real there are a number of trees that have been crocheted into these tiny wildly colored outfits.
Mostly I'm perplexed by this but also I'm a little jealous because I want to have so much free time that I say, well I guess I'll construct some tiny fucking striped arboreal outerwear.
I suppose I'll have a drink to console myself.
Aren't you the one who frollicks with chipmunks on your walk to work, too? I think you work in Storybook Land. It sounds like a magical place

Yes that's me. Alas though, I am an accountant so my work is pretty far from enchanting. Although last week all the power went out and I had to sit at my desk and read all day. That was pretty magical.
I'm just getting home from dinner with one of my good friends/old roommate. I had a perfectly cooked steak and a delicious glass of wine and got all caught up on the latest campus gossip. It was amazing. I feel like a new person.

Sounds amazing! And it's so important for you to get out and make time for yourself. I'm proud of you!
Same. DH knows this and guns are both HARD NOs. I've trained the kids as well. "We are not a gun family." "We are not a motorcycle family." Rinse and repeat.
Oh, well, the ex and his motorcycle riding GF also got their carry permits together. I'm telling you, it's getting special around here. Lol
Well fuck. The baby is running a fever. He's had a runny nose all day and seems just miserable. Good thing I brought the entire baby medicine supply in vacation.

It stormed all afternoon so my kids were stuck inside at aftercare and the 4yo was ricocheting into walls so I took everyone out for a walk/scooter ride.
Oldest was actually quite good. Youngest got into an incomprehensible war with the push trike that lasted the first 80% of playtime.The dog is very patient. I finished up bedtime and chugged two glasses of wine.
I need to get rid of that push trike. Nothing but trouble.

Never fails for us on vacation. Last year DS came down with croup that turned into a respiratory infection. This year DD had an ear infection.
I hope it's teeth and not something else. We're driving home Saturday and DNW to deal with 6+ hours of screaming.

I want one of those animal mailboxes (dolphin, whatever) so that I can dress it up for the seasons or the weather conditions.
This is also why I don't have friends.
I used to have a flock of 6 flamingos in my front yard. I moved them around 3 or 4 times a week and dressed them up for holidays/seasons. It was highly entertaining to come up with new ideas to create scenes in the yard. It's one of those "little things" that makes life more fun. I then went to college and grew up but I wish I had the time to dress up lawn animals or trees. Just say no to creapy gnomes though
