The Daily: One more day til the weekend

Thursday, April 21, 2022

5:03 am: Good morning. Or maybe just morning. I am tired of waking up at five. Summer vacation can not come soon enough.

5:41 am: Running on the treadmill. Surprised? Me neither. I remember when I was a kid and was blissfully ignorant to the idea of the daily grind, those days were good.

6:57 am: The kid is actually already in the shower. I am always thankful when it doesn't take four or more times of me telling him to get ready. We are starting on the right foot today.

8:39 am: Back from dropping the kid off at school, traffic sucked. Drinking coffee and reading a few pages of St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised by Wolves, by Karen Russell. This book is crazy imaginative and so well written. I am loving it.

10:20 am: Finished picking weeds out in the yard. Dude, weed picking has become a weekly occurrence. The summer is unbelievably hot, but there are not G.D. weeds to pull.

1:29 pm: Had a great lunch from Rainbow Poke. Poke is SO expensive but so GOOD. I am addicted (to eating raw fish, hahaa, that sounds weird).

 

3:40 pm: Back from school and the kid got a D on his English poem project and now I have to punish him. What am I supposed to do to make this kid care about his grades? I would have been terrified to go home having gotten a D on a project, my kid isn't worried at all.

7:41 am: Talking on the phone with my husband about the kids grades. We are trying to figure out a good old fashion scare tactic to get him to work harder at school. Hey guys, being a parent is SO fun.
