How the heck is it Friday? I’ve been wanting the end of
the week to come for ages, but now that it’s here I’m honestly flabbergasted.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you.
I’ve been working on that 24-hour complaint free thing,
one day at a time. It feels very 12-step of me, really. I did good for two
solid blocks, but then Wednesday I spilled coffee on myself on a flight for
work and Thursday I didn’t get enough sleep and broke down crying because I
couldn’t figure out something in the new system we are working in. But today.
Today is going to be a Good. Day. I took a Unisom last night and had a wonderful
9.5 hours of sleep wherein we forgot to set the alarm and I was awoken by my
husband mere minutes before I needed to leave for work. Which was okay! I made
it! And I didn’t have to wake up to an alarm, which frankly I think puts me in
a bad mood every day.
I think another issue for me this week is I wasn’t making
to-do lists for myself for the day. While it might seem daunting to look at the
six dozen needs for the day, it’s so satisfying to mark them off. And it keeps
my head on straight.
Since C is working tomorrow, he’s off today and we’re
going to lunch together. I have decided to grill clams and asparagus for dinner
tonight so I want to hit the local Italian market on lunch, so we’ll have lunch
on the patio there and pretend I don’t have to go back to work afterward. I think
it’s a fabulous plan.
I’m still a bit up in the air about what I want to do
with the kids tomorrow. Both the new splash park and Chuck E Cheese open at
10am, so I think we’ll do one or the other, and then we might *might* do the
other after that. There’s also an indoor blacklight minigolf place I saw last
weekend, so that might be on the agenda, or we might go to the beach. I don’t
know! So many choices! I’m terrible at the lone wolf thing, especially when C
is working from home so he’s there but can’t help and is otherwise tethered to
the inside of the house. I’ve decided for times like these, I’m going to be the
fun parent. We will do things that we never do. That would otherwise drive us
nuts. I’ve got my books, I’ll be fine. Anyone want to come with us?
I’m doing a shrimp boil for dinner tomorrow night, but I
want a dessert. Something light and outdoory – any suggestions?
**OH! They are doing Harry Potter at the local IMAX dome for the next few weekends. I'm not sure how this sounds.

I had to get the kids out of the house last Saturday while uri worked from home. We did a kids restaurant and the pool.
Be the Fun Parent, gurl. OWN IT.
