Color Me Meg

Here’s something I didn’t get paid to share: The easiest (and super cheap) replacement for falsies or extensions ever. I can take em off when I don’t care about looking fancy. (85% of my life right now and the reason why I also love my daily contacts. 😉) But I can also sleep in them and wear them for a few days. Win. This pack of replacement “wisps” is $5 and I can reuse them, so I might get two weeks out of em. 👊🏻

I have tried to find a few things to help me feel good these days and man, lil bit of normal-looking lashes (even if I don’t see anyone) totally does it for me. Who knew. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not saying lashes is/should be your thing, but finding a lil pick me up that makes you feel good, worth it big time. 👌🏻 This is a photo BEFORE of course.... 😂

I want to go back to 2 days ago when that weekend life was the ONLY life. 😂

Member yesterday when I was all optimistic and bushy tailed?

Here’s a recap of the day for your entertainment:
⁣
[me, hiding in bed until 9 while the 7 year old feeds and dresses the toddler.]
⁣
9:25: frantically get both kids set up in live “class” on separate computers in separate rooms while holding a crying baby.
⁣
9:30: Feed a baby while watching Mickey Mouse cwubhouse with a toddler.
⁣
9:45: [with baby on my lap] sit with 9 year old as tech support
⁣
9:47: discover the toddler IN THE SAME ROOM has found nail polish and brushed her hair and brother’s pillow with it. Still couldn’t tell you where she found it.
⁣
9:55: while attempting to clean said pillow, toddler dumps water all over my room and plays in it...
⁣
10:15: sit and help 9 year old with assignment [interrupted 6 times by toddler]
⁣
11:00: put baby down in brothers room and we play musical chairs. He moves to office for live class, and 7 year old moves to my room.
⁣
11:05: discover that the 7 year old has ONCE AGAIN peeled a section of paint off the twice-painted banister. Deal with meltdown. (Mine.)
⁣
12:00: assign 9 year old to make lunch for all since I just don’t want to.
⁣
1:00: put toddler down for nap, and set up 7 year old for live class. Get up and feed baby.
⁣
1-2pm: get visited 235 times by 9 year old who just can’t figure out what narrative means!! (It says guess if you know know, kid! Yes, but what is it???)
⁣
3:00: 9 year old is done and even folded his laundry to earn tv time. 👌🏻 baby goes down for nap.
⁣
For the last 30 minutes: trying to write this dumb post and literally 23 times the 7 year old has come to ask a question on her assignment. Of those, 21 are about the technology itself. 🙄
⁣
God bless us, everyone. 🤦🏻‍♀️

School started today. Online. 👎🏻 not ideal, but could have been worse.

My MIL took my littles so the bigs and I could get through all the schedules and live classes and assignments today. 👌🏻 (bless that grandma, who also made the kids waffles for dinner and helped comfort the 7 year old who got stung by a scorpion tonight too!) An eventful day for sure.

It was game-changing to have a little more organization and teachers who had time to put together what they are doing (than in the spring when those poor teachers had to scramble!) 2nd and 4th grade and Spanish immersion for these two, so we have 4 teachers and lots of moving parts. I honestly have no idea how this will go tomorrow. 😳 I just know I’m counting the days until real school begins. We need it.

And thanks, mom for bringing me comfort food for dinner and the best cookies so I can get though tomorrow. The moms, and the grandmas, are the best around here. ☺️

Miss is . 😍 She’s the sweetest, happiest snuggle bug, and the best sleeper. And she’s how I’d recommend getting through 2020 if I could prescribe something to all. 😉 I can't get over her. 💗

This also means it’s been one month in our house! Looking at the state of things, you wouldn’t guess we have been here long at all though. 😳 @ Chandler, Arizona

This puppy basically needs to be right by us wherever we are working. 😉 Hanging a mirror and finishing up this bathroom today! 👌🏻
