They're Heeerrre!

Sunday was a     day
The kids and Husband were due to be home about 4 or 5:00, so I pretty much had another full day without the noise and chaos. I went to brunch with a meetup group I joined last week, it is called “Twin Cities Bloody Marys & Breakfast Club”. We went to a bar near downtown Minneapolis called “The Joint”, where if you ordered a breakfast, you got either a free screwdriver or bloody mary. I went for the blueberry pancakes and a bloody mary. The food was good, but not outstanding, I wouldn't prefer to go there over another place except for maybe the free bloody mary.

I got really sleepy on the way home, a mix of the alcohol and a warm car, so I went straight to sleep when I got back. The idea of doing some pumpkin painting was out, there just wasn't enough time to make enough progress and get things put away again before Daughter saw what I was doing and want to help. Last year, Daughter took one of my mini white pumpkins, which I really didn't want to give up. She painted the pumpkin orange and yellow, UGH, what a waste of a white pumpkin.

I finished up laundry before they all got home, and cleaned a little bit, knowing that it was in vain; as soon as the kids got home, they would be throwing toys all over.

There was some stress felt knowing the kids would be home with me all the next day, and I had gotten out of the groove with them being gone for so long and started to doubt myself that I could do it. When Husband asked me about my feelings toward the next day, I answered firmly that things would be ok, even though my tummy wasn't so sure.
