Friday Night Leftovers

• I was bragging about my son to another mom, like an asshole, telling her how he is always gentle and kind, and rarely throws tantrums. Can I get some guesses as to what happened directly after I said this?


• Can we talk about tee ball for a second? I had sworn up and down that I would never put my kids in tee ball. It looked like torture to me to all parties involved. I just think that tee ball is expecting a level of patience that 3 and 4 year olds just don’t possess. But, I succumbed to peer pressure and both kids did it this spring. Wow. It sucks just as much as I imagined. Maggie is thankfully done (and honestly, had a good time) as of last night. But Cam’s tee ball has been canceled 3 times so far for rain, so it just keeps getting extended. I’m SO thankful that Cam is old enough to start town soccer in the fall.

• Today is the last day for my friend at work that I joke is my ‘work husband’. I’m really going to miss him.

• We’ve decided to have the kids do daycare only 3 days a week this summer, and take our vacation time in long weekends. Saves us a big chunk of money, and kind of forces us to take things a little slower this summer.

• It’s been a stressful work week for both Aaron and I. I’m very much hoping that we are able to shut down and log off for the weekend and recharge. We’ll see. I think I should be able to, but it’s often a challenge for him.
