Why are my kids absolutely wired tonight after we woke them up early and spent the whole day skiing in a snowstorm?
The adults, meanwhile, are one hot shower away from unconsciousness. 😵💫⛷️

I bought dried squid as a snack and was immediately exiled from family room for the “fishy smell.”
After years of pregnancy, birth, feeding, and clothing these people… this is my reward? Rude.

You know when your age is getting serious when the group chat is less memes, more prescription readers… and crowd-sourcing for a good perimenopause doctor.

My kid is color-blind (discovered in preschool when he would color everyone Elphaba green).
Yesterday he kept pointing out all the “pink” cars (all silver).
When I asked about a silver car?
“Grey.”
Either colorblindness is more complex than I realized or I’m being pranked by my kid 🤔

I finally started and finished Heated Rivalry last night. All it took was one ill-timed iced coffee and I was binging till 2:30am. 🤣
People were not wrong, worth the hype. Should I pick up the books while we all wait for the next season?

Something in the air today. Kids were at each other’s throats and extra prickly. Drivers on the road honking and being more impatient and aggressive than usual.

My friends talked me into joining them for a spin class (my first time) and as I was getting ready to go, my son said, “WHY did you sign up for that?? WHY are you ABANDONING us?!?!”
The drama on this child. 😆
I was back in time to tuck them in for bed!

Mr 10 asked when I had to write my first typewritten essay.
Me: “Well, when I was your age we didn’t have …” and then I proceeded to crumble to dust.

Nothing like family dinner turning into a roast of my “resting concerned face.”
Each kid and husband did their own Mommy impression.
Ah quality family time. Can’t even be mad, they were good impressions. 😆

New year, but same old dread and panic about the dumpster fire of a timeline we’re living in.

We went to an early party, kids did early countdowns at 6:27 and we came home and were all in bed by our usual times. 🥳
As I tucked the kids in I said the requisite “When I see you again, it’ll be next year!”
When dad drops the ball, someone’s got to say it. 😆

When asked what their favorite Christmas gift was, Mr 10 didn’t have an answer, but his LEAST favorite was the brand new bike that he didn’t ask for.
Ms 8 had many favorites and couldn’t choose a least favorite because she liked them all.

Mr 10 played Oregon Trail for the first time today and was hooked immediately.
My age is telling on me but they’ve made the game a whole lot easier than the original. He only had 3/4 of his party die on his first attempt and made it all the way. I’m not even sure I ever succeeded. 🤣

Mr 10 was “praying to Santa for a giant Jenga set.” We told him Santa isn’t God so his prayers will be unlikely to be answered.
“Should I pray to Jesus for Jenga instead?” 😅
