The Daily: I Did It, I Slept All Night

 Wednesday March 30, 2022

5:30 am: Waking up with the alarm, for the first time this week. Yes!

 

5:55 am: The gym is crowded. Someone is on my favorite treadmill, there are people at all the weight machines, and the cubbies are full. What is this all about? Wednesday is the universal work out day?

7:30 am: Coffee and breakfast before we get ready to go to the Peterson Museum in LA today. The kid was really excited last night, let's see how he feels when he has to wake up in a few minutes.

8:45 am: Trying to get some stuff done for when we get home later this afternoon. Chopping some veggies for our salad for dinner, less to do when we get back, cause you know I'll have ton to do when we get back. I always do.

9:35 am: Sitting on the 405 South in traffic. So much traffic. We will have fun when we get there if road rage doesn't take us out first.

10:33 am: The Peterson Museum. Parked in the $21 costly lot and ready to head inside. 

1:03 pm: Museum was great, there is a Back to the Future DeLorean there that is totally worth going to see. Lots of other great shiny old and crazy new cars to check out. I think it was like seventeen bucks a person, so I would say go. (Except the parking lot, the parking lot is $21 or $17 with some dumb coupon they gave us)

1:20 pm: Eating lunch in the La Brea tar pits park. The fake mammoths look a little smaller than I remember or I am a lot bigger, I am not sure which one it is.

2:04 pm: Heading home, the husband says we have to stop at the auto shop to pick his truck up that we dropped off on Monday. Now I have to drive in the 405 traffic, I might blow a gasket, my kid is scared of me right now, I can tell.

3:54 pm: I tried to take a quick break before the evening dinner chores start, it didn't work, so now I am tired and I am going to have to make dinner soon. Shit.

4:30 pm: Up and at em. I am making two different dinners so that my fourteen year old will eat dinner. Fourteen year old. I am still just trying to get him to eat something. I definitely did something wrong

6:31 pm: Walking the dog after dinner. Found a loose barking dog in the neighborhood and helped it get back to its house. Check off one in the good neighbor category for me.

7:12 pm: Hanging with the kid in his room listening to him talk about turbo charged engines, like...I am even remotely interested. I pretend though, because I also like to pretend I am a good mother.

8:09 pm: We are beat. Finishing our movie from last night. Then we are hitting the hay like the good old people we are. The morning comes early peeps.
