If anyone has air miles they can give, please donate below. ICE sends people all over to confuse and lose people in the shuffle.

I voted in the MN Primary today using Absentee Mail in voting. I am so glad we have this option. With 2 kids under 4, you never know if the day of an event, you’ll actually be going no matter how much you prioritize it.

Reminder to set your moon water out.

89^ F and feels like 101^ plus you can eat the air with how humid it is. Uffda

New karaoke song unlocked for me - “A Little Bit Alexis”

Finally at the point where my youngest plays on his own. He walks to his room to look at books and playing with toys. So happy for tiny bit of calm.

I hyper focused at work and now I am completely drained. Feels good having such a huge chunk done but man do I need to sleep.

Is anyone else watching Vampire Lestat? Sam Reid’s vocals are so good! I really want him to be in all of musicals. He has such an awesome range! Also the marketing on this show is fun.

Bjorn jealous of the toddler.

Enjoying Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes with sprinkles.

Any help, any one can give.

One dream I have is getting really good at making edibles. From making my own Cannabutter to perfecting a cookie and brownie recipe. Waiting till the kids are older and not needing as much. Someday.

Ok so one code is covered but the other isn’t. The only difference is if my son is present as we talk about him to his therapist. He’s almost 4. Why would we take him out of play time to hear parents talk about him? This sucks.

On the phone with Insurance to see what treatments are covered and by how much.

Watching Doctor Who

Enjoying outside in my hammock and reading a book.

Hankering to make my own ice cream. My SIL has already requested Chocooate chip ice cream with chocolate chips. I’m also thinking about making Kulfi.

Making Southern Sweet Tea today. If people have better suggestions on the process, I am all ears. I did - 1 quart boiling water - Stir in 1 cup sugar - Steep 4 Family Size Lipton tea bags for 5 minutes - Pour into 3 quarts cold water - Let chill overnight

Fuck Hacks was a perfect series. From start to finish, amazing, funny, and so much more. It is what tv should be. I will rewatch this show forever.

Very big victory for my silly, stubborn almost 4 yr old - he peed 3 times on the potty!!!

It’s 89^ F and it’s only the end of May in Minnesota. This is not normal.

Worship me! I know how to hyperlink in excel so I can bring up accounts instantly when updating information to another program.

First time back in an office. Getting ready is crazy with two kids. Coordinating when to get dressed so your outfit doesn’t get too dirty is wild. Congrats to parents who have mastered this skill.

Made Preppy Kitchen’s Banana Pancakes with my kids again this morning. It’s so fun. We add chocolate chips and sprinkles. preppykitchen.com/banana-panca...

We had so much fun with my side of the family today. Picnic and water activities with my parents and my brother’s family. The boys played with their cousin and grandpa. Beautiful day!

Introduced Oscar to Wes Anderson with Fantastic Mr Fox. We are reading the book at bed time as well. I’m so glad he likes it.

Doing my best to calm my nervous system. I get so over touched right now, and I’m having a really hard time regulating myself. I will never turn away my kids from hugs and cuddles. I just need to figure out how to decompress from this feeling after.

Watching the last episode of Stephen Colbert. Sad to see this show go. #ByeCBS

Uffda, between the thunderstorm and Russell having a fever last night, the Johnsons had a rough night.

Omg if only. Thank you, Canada.

Sleepy doggy

Fruit and Veggie Gardens are done. I do have some extra hay. Should I add it to the veggie beds?

Come on coffee, kick in! We need to get going today.

My brain is not awake for all the things my toddlers want me to do. Last night, Oscar lost his bracelet. I told him the fae took it and now I have to barter to get it back.

Waiting on the couch cleaner. Took over a month for them to get here. But we paid for this service so might as well use it. I just wish the window was more concise. 1 - 5 pm is a really long time to wait.

Whelp, a slow start today. I weeded & prepped the last 2 beds. Just got too hot & tired to finish planting. I’m hoping later today to finish my list of: • Planting Carrots • Planting Acorn Squash • Spreading Straw Mulch • Bonus if delivered today: Putting in terracotta spikes into each berry bush

Woot, woot! 4 out 6 beds in our vegetable are weeded, tilled, fertilized, and planted. Last two beds will be finished tomorrow. Berry patch beds are ready; just waiting for the plants to arrive. Then it’s weeding the yards until I need to start over again. Pictures to come soon. 😁

My heart is melting. Oscar was so sweet at bedtime. I thanked him for making today so special and then he said, “Happy Mother’s Day” unprompted.

I took Oscar to the Garden Center. He is so excited about our gardens. He keeps talking about growing our food and making the plants big and strong.

Widow’s Bay is the comedy version of Midnight Mass. I keep waiting to see Rahul @rahulkohli13.bsky.social as the Sherif.

Gotta love dynamic pricing. Saved $4 from ordering on the website verses their app. What the fuck?

Thankfully last night the kids slept through the night so I finally had a good nights sleep as well. I’m able to person so much better today.

Husband is down with Russell’s cold now. Cancelling Mother’s Day plans now.

Today is survival mode day. Oscar came home from daycare early this morning because he is constipated. Russell is still sick with a cold. Trying my best when it’s not cutting it to say the least.

Poor kiddo is so stuffed up and too young to understand sleeping with a pillow. I will be his pillow.

Russell is a very cuddly sick toddler. I love helping him feel better, but by the end of the day I am so touched out. I’m thinking a bath tonight to recharge.

Got our blueberry bush today. But I have to wait till next week to plant it. We are still getting frosts at night. I’m so excited to get our berry patch going. Still coming: Raspberry bush BlackBerry bush Strawberry bushes

Glad I went to bed early to wake up and go-sleep with a sick toddler.

Gotta love insomnia. I watched all 3 Creed movies. Michael B Jordan and Tessa Thompson are amazing. The boxing was superb.
