I had high hopes for day three. I made oatmeal for breakfast and did more laundry. Why is there always laundry? Today I was tired though. I don't think I slept well. Esther woke up three times and kept head-butting me. Being whacked in the middle of the night by a 30 pound two year old is not fun. I don't know, I just haven't felt well. It happens, I have a chronic illness, a toddler and two kids! It is what it is.
Anyway, I had to get out the house so we took a load of trash to the dump and on the way back stopped at the thrift store where I bought a matching plate set with teacups. The kids love it. I did too. Until...I got home. Where am I going to put all this new stuff? I have no idea. There is 15 salad plates, 7 large dinner plates, 8 cups, 8 saucers, two serving platters, and 10 small desert plates! We don't need all of this--but you had to buy it together or not at all. I am not sure I made the right choice and it's been haunting me all day! Oh, and the kids picked out some nice $1 glasses to drink their kombucha in, because we don't have enough breakable things in our house.
I had zero motivation for lunch after we got home with my impulse plate buy. I made homemade mac and cheese, hardboiled eggs and sautéed some frozen veggies. Everyone loved it. I should be lackluster in the kitchen more often.
It was then I realized I forgot to thaw meat for dinner. I decided to make bagels.
I also can't stop thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow is volunteer day, a long busy day where I leave my house and try to be a mentor to another mom. I think we really end up mentoring each other. Then we have our evaluations for the kids--in Virginia every homeschooled kid after first grade must submit proof of progress, and we do ours via the evaluation letter method (there are a few different ways) and it's tomorrow. Why did I schedule this all on the same day? I don't know. I'm crazy. Send help.
Then we can go to nature group. If I can still walk. I don't think we will make it to nature group. I'm tired even thinking about it! I think going home and popping in a movie while I make tacos is what I will be doing. The kids love nature group though. I don't think I"ll be up for it this time.
Anyway, I'm supposed to be chatting about today, not tomorrow. Becky had piano group lesson tonight so I had to leave my house at 3:30, which was awful. I ran to pick up the milk on the way and planned to sit in my car while Becky had her lesson, the park we usually go to was flooded and the friend I usually hang out with had a sick husband...but then when I got there said friend invited me to the mall and we had a blast! We will probably all catch the flu in three days but impromptu play dates are fun and I needed that.
We got home at 5:20 and I had no idea what was for dinner. Oh, yeah bagels. No! Cried the kids, please don't murder us with bagels! So I grabbed some tortillas from the freezer and loaded them up with pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese and seasonings and grilled them in the oven for 7 minutes. Everyone loved them. I don't know why I try.
My husband got home today a 7 and said he was going to mow the lawn. The lawn needs to be mowed but I was exhausted so I said please don't, watch the kids for me I want 30 minutes for myself. And since the grass is wet he said yes. Yay! That is how I am writing this pose.
Early bedtime, I'm your girl.
I'm going to watch 7 minutes of Candace Owens and then go do the dishes.
