I just got a LOT done yesterday and have so many deliverables I knew I wouldn't be focused enough to get through enough of it while they were home with me.
There's a certain amount of guilt, but at the same time, they would normally be in school! And they get to be with my mom, who loves them more than anything. They get to watch TV, do crafts, play, eat as many snacks as they want, etc.
I also feel like I'm pawning them off on my mom...
But on the flip side, I've never had a village, so is this what it feels like?
See how my crazy mom brain works? Guilt one way or another!
Which is precisely why I'm medicated. To balance this shit out.
They are also sleeping over Friday night so Steve and I can take a quick road trip to pick up Mila's birthday present.
It's a secret.
ANYWAY.
My thought was that if they sleep at mom's house, I can get up early and get going with my day rather quickly. Like 6-7am.
With them home, I feel like after breakfast, getting cleaned up, dressed, it's like mid-morning already.
And then it's request after request after request after that.
So.
If I can get in a solid 6 hours by lunchtime?
That would be amazing.
I can then stop over to my mom's to eat lunch and pick up the girls and try to enjoy the afternoon with them, while juggling work/emails.
We got home around 2pm and it was honestly just a shit show after that.
It's nearly impossible to get any work done with the girls home.
1. They are loud - whether they are playing, fighting, whatever, it's just freaking loud!
2. They request everything every God Damned 5 minutes. Water. Chips. Grapes. Strawberries. WITH SUGAR. Cereal. No milk. WITH MILK.
3. I actually want to play with them when they are being cute. Distraction Central.
It's crazy.
Steve also got home and did more work outside.
So it was just a long fucking day.
First time watching the live action Aladdin! Super cute!
