Just. Leave. Me. Alone.
I love everything about my life. We are so privileged, have a great village, live in a great new city that we love, I have two amazing kids that I’m fortunate enough to spend every day with, watching them learn and grow and thrive.
AND!!!!
I’m 3 days from my period. Stuck inside because of the rain. Can’t go to the gym because my youngest‘s nose is running like a faucet and, even though I think it’s allergies and she feels fine, I’m not going to be that guy. I‘ve been dying to get some deep decluttering done and keep unpacking/organizing, and thought today would be a good day for it but NO! Because she can’t just BUILD magnatiles, she needs to build STAIRS with magnatiles and she needs HELP “climbing” the stairs, and I NEED to LOOK at EVERY iteration of the stairs. And my oldest thinks that, because our routine is off today, that it’s time to watch TV for some reason??!! So much whining. So much “Mama, watch this! Mama, I need… Mama, I want… Mama, my sister did X Mama, wipe my butt! Mama, the song is over. Mama, I’m bored. MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA”
Everything is sticky and loud and touching me and whining.
Thank you for coming to my depressing TED talk. I hope your day is going a million times better than mine 🫶
