Was it a full moon this week? Seriously… my kids be crazy.
Mondays.
I like Mondays because I know what happens on Mondays. I go grocery shopping, I have to take out the recycling and the garbage, the girls go to school, swimming.
Mondays.
This Monday I took the girls to school and of course it’s still raining, then I headed over to Sport Chek to pick out some new runners. I have worn mine for 4 years and I absolutely love them but they are starting to smell 😂. So, I was looking at runners and trying a few on but I’m pretty picky when it comes to runners that’s why I never change them. Right now I have Reeboks. I fell in love with a pair of Under Armour trainers. Of course there was only one 7 1/2 and it was missing the right shoe. The poor salesgirl searched the entire store and back stock room. I think she went through every box trying to find the matching shoe but couldn’t. Finally she let me try on another more expensive pair of Under Armour that she thought I might like. I did! So she gave me the higher-priced ones for the same price as the sale ones that I liked originally. Finally I take them up to the front and holy crap we went to the movie to the concert last week and I used an actual purse so of course my wallet was in my purse not my backpack! So, I had to drive all the way home and then all the way back to pay for them 🙄.
Next I went grocery shopping and half the store was empty they must’ve sold out on all of their produce the day before PLUS when I got up to the self checkouts there was a line. I had over 25 items anyways but I usually do, I’m just really quick so I don’t think anybody minds. Actually, I just don’t care if they mind. But I knew this time I would get glares so I went to an actual till. The woman in front of me was at $250.47. The lady offered her a PC credit card because she would get 25,000 points because she spent $250. After she was halfway through signing up for a new credit card she realized that my frozen pie shells were on her bill and once they took them off she was at $247. Now she didn’t qualify for the credit card that she just applied for 😐.
She looked at me and said, “hand me a pack of gum.” So I handed her a pack of gum. $248 and change. She’s like, “hand me another one.” Of course I picked if you buy 2 it’s only $2.00 so it actually got her to $249.89 and she still didn’t qualify 😐. So, we took both the packs of gum off and put 2 different packs of freaking gum on her bill to get back to $250!!! By the time I made it to SBean’s preschool there was zero parking and I had to drive around and around.
On Tuesday HBear and I were cuddling and I was playing her hair. I noticed she had all these baby bangs? I started looking, I mean, really looking. I asked, “HBear did you cut your hair?” Immediately she said, “yes.” 😳
Right after I told that her hair needs to be in a right low bun for competition coming up the end of May. 😳
SBean was like a mini Donald Trump this week. She was a petulant 4-year-old who was loud, demanding, and I swear she thinks she is the Queen of the house. The best is when she came up to me and said, “I just love you Mommy. I love you because you are so chubby and squishy. I love Daddy too because he is furry.” 😳🙊
When I went to do laundry this week I heard the LOUDEST banging and the washer was like moving! I opened it up and found SBean’s huge rock (she named him Moustache) in her sweater pocket!
Wednesday.
On Tuesday night at midnight I was visualizing my next day as I always do and I was like OK I have to drop HBear off at school and then SBean. Then, I have to haul ass to the pool to meet HBear and the rest of her class for swimming lessons. Oh and I volunteered to take SBean’s preschool class to the library. Oh and I totally made plans with SBesty for breakfast! Omg… Thursday is also ProD day and Friday is Good Friday so there was hot lunch too! Shit! So I had to cancel breakfast and HLBesty handled hot lunch so I just had the 2 field trips. After school HBear still had swim practice so I took her to the pool. I’m in the balcony running when I remembered that I had to change her dental appointment so I called the dentist and explained the Girls have a cleaning set for the first week of May but I just received a phone call from the oral surgeon who is pulling HBear’s 4 baby teeth and they made the appointment for the same day. So we changed it to the following week. The moment I hung up I saw HBear come flying out of the pool holding her mouth. I quickly ran down the stairs to see what was wrong. She broke her only goddamn adult tooth right in half!! 😳
Thursday morning I was at the dentist with HBear is soon as I dropped SBean off at preschool.
On Friday Ninja and I had our podcast. It was a rough one. I was off 🙁. I actually didn’t post last week’s episode so here it is… if you interested in listening to all these written stories with commentary from Ninja.

On Thursday after the emergency dentist appointment, I watched SBeaty’s kids while she had an appointment. HBear and her SBesty loved spending time together and SBean was so excited to see GBesty after school! They hit every puddle on the way to the van 😂.
On Good Friday HBear went to her G2Besty’s birthday party. She had a FABULOUS time! They had so many wonderful activities planned 😊.
While HBear was “sleeping” at the party… SBean and I got a little cuddling in. It doesn’t happen that we get to snuggle, just the 2 of us, very often and I took FULL advantage of it.
