I'm sorry, tommyrot

And flea, I have so been there, it can all feel so hard and overwhelming sometimes. And yeah, I somehow don't have the perfect, over achiever kids. But I keep telling myself parenting isn't a sprint, we're in it for the long haul, and every kid matures at their own pace.

Love to all y'all, mimosas to them that enjoy them.

Between me wanting to see my mom today but having my a ton to do, my mom not wanting to impose on me, and my dad wanting to do everything and having no sense of how much time anything takes, today is going to be interesting. And I absolutely did it get up at dawn to start weeding the front yard so I am already behind. Maybe if I just stop sleeping for a few days...

You know, maybe it's executive function issues, but maybe it's just actually needing the rest. I have no idea how to tell.

Timelies all!

Happy Mothers Day to all Buffista moms and mother figures. Me, I'd like some me time, but that ain't happening any time soon.

Ugh. Someone just spent $700 on sneakers on my debit card.

Oh no! Hope it is easily straightened out, Tom.

I wish you unexpected you time, Sheryl.

Have brunched and artisan fair'd and consignment shopped. Time for a short rest and wardrobe change before tackling the front yard.

I also went to an artisan fair! And thought I might buy an art piece for a friend, until I learned it was $100. I thought it was "just" a print, but not really! And then went to see the building the nonprofit whose board I'm on is trying to buy, so that was fun.

I haven't accomplished a lot but I did all the laundry Fri night and I washed windows yesterday. The world outside looks so pretty from my living room now. I need to do the bedroom windows, too, but there was a large spider residing in one of them and I chose not to disturb it. More cleaning to do...

I made Mother's Day lunch for Mom, me ,brother and nephew. Was vegetarian and I did a really good job on a recipe I winged. We had stuffed peppers and I found one recipe but I used it as guide. The peppers had navy beans, rice, spinach, cheese, various dried herbs, basil, lemon, then sauteed squash , homemade bread and salad.

Tonight I'm making steaks for mom. And potatoes and I just realized I should have put them in 40 mins ago..oops

The stuffed peppers sound great.

I've caught up reading and nodding my head, but my brain to finger capability seems diminished today so I am going to read more and type less. Tired! 5K this morning was fun, but the humidity was 90%! It was only 75F, but the air was thick. So I napped when I got home.

I spent an hour or so weeding, sat down for a minute to rest, and now I am catted.
