The older I get, the more pissed off I am that my parents raised me to be “well behaved.”

Max says he pulled a prank on the kids at his table today and told them all that he snuck to watch the news and watched the Eiffel Tower collapse and convinced them that it was real and said it’s OK. I’ll tell them it’s fake tomorrow but tomorrow is Saturday.

Nash and I are in the car. He has a Tour San Diego map. “Mama, there’s Target on the map! Want you to find it!”
I take the map. “Honey, I don’t think they put stores on this map.”
“No it in der!”
“Where do YOU think it is on here?”
“Mama GIVE IT TO ME. Give me da map. SEE?? There!!”

I have a lot of food allergies. Going food shopping is extremely time consuming, especially with my two kids, because I have to read and make sure it’s safe for me. But WHY do I have an unfounded fear that someone will see me reading labels and assume im an almond mom??

forest walk with my kid & a friend hunting berries, a woman with a large stick stopped 3 (dressed all in purple).“Purple or nothing! Good job, little one!” My friend leans over, “She was a witch.”
“Whaaaaat we ran into the witch in the woods while WE were doing witch shit in the woods?!” WE CACKLE

Today I fucked up. My eldest is doing a week of day camp for the very first time. He’s 6. It’s at a zoo. Today the youngest also wanted to go to the zoo so we did. We managed to meet up with the camp kids at a park which 6 loved! But then it was time for me to leave and he melted into a puddle.fuck

Went to local book store to order my go-to baby shower books and the dude got alarmed, “You know you’ve bought these two books like, three time already, right?” Yes, I am aware.

I wonder if folks from my childhood with whom I no longer interact look at me and go, “Yeah she turned out fuckin’ queer, too! I guess it really was all of us.” 😆

Last night I went to a dance class with a friend and we were talking about how it’s good to save money but it feels like the bombs are hover over our heads so we should try to enjoy ourselves. We went to dinner after and while she was in the bathroom I checked the news really quick. Oh. 😅

We are at the stage of the summer where the kids are playing together so nicely and I think, “Man, N is going to miss his brother so much when school starts,” even though I KNOW it won’t last.

How am I doing today, you ask? Well this morning I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what car was driving around my neighborhood honking and yelling and it turned out that there was a video playing on my phone in my pocket on repeat.

Happy Mother’s Day to me! I got to have my VERY FIRST weekend away from my kids. C and I went to a beer fest and I succeeded in not going SUPER HARD. I did get drunk enough to accidentally transfer a shiny Pokemon the second I caught it.

Hey this would be a really great moment for me to run to the store by myself.
“Or we could ALL go…?”
Oh my gosh, no! The internet would be so mad right now!

I may have made my children too confident in my cooking skills. I was making English muffin pizzas and my 6yo asks, “Do we have any pepperoni?” No, sorry bud. “Can you MAKE pepperonis?” For lunch right now? No sorry bud, I can’t cure you some meat for lunch today.

Nash isn’t allowed out of his car seat at school pickup anymore because he has locked me out of the car twice this week and I had to climb in the rear passenger window.
