After overheating for the last six months, the season has changed. I’m freezing and drinking tea daily. Brrrr.
5:30am: parent rushes to living room to change clock 6:15am: pitter-patter of small feet rushing to check clock. (Child cannot enter parents’ room until after 7am)

Child entered at 6:30am and is now playing with other child. Parents relieved.
Are people setting off fireworks in #lakeview #chicago???

Just came across my contact lens prescription from 2014. It went directly into the trash. #packing #somuchjunk
If I had known I’d stashed $50 in my dresser, maybe I would have packed earlier.

My children are fighting over a nonfunctional flip phone from 2002. It’s 7:18 on a Sunday morning.

They are confused and fascinated by the tiny keyboards! What are phones with buttons??? How did you charge them? How did they work?

The thing about kids who want your attention in the morning is that they are REALLY, REALLY AWAKE.
Rough return to reality today. Good luck to us all.
I have determined that we need 660” (55’) of bookshelf space, and that doesn’t include the kids’ books.

If you’ve never been the worst parent ever, I suggest reminding your child to put away their clean laundry.

Our old-as-dirt iPad is glitchy, siri keeps popping up, and my 9yo is NOT here for it.
I have multiple pairs of sunglasses so I can usually but not always find one of them. Not today, though.
Is this an okay time to confess that I’ve never heard a single song from the Miami Boys’ Choir?

I’ve been in the pediatric ER waiting room for five hours, and I have thoughts. (First, everyone is okay. Getting stitches for an injury.)

Nope, machine is out of water. Next parent tagging in will bring water and snacks.

Other parent arrived. I’m on my way home after 9.5 hours. Kid still in good spirits.
