A typical evening at our homestead. Tomato hornworms have decimated our tomato plants. If you haven't seen one before (don't google, ewww) they're 4" long fat caterpillars that are the EXACT SAME green as a tomato stem. They're VERY hard to find on the plants. We showed DS what one looked like, and he found TWO MORE on the plants that we legitimately didn't see! We are legitimately very impressed. And he found two zucchini hiding under the big leaves. He's becoming such a great gardener.
Eewwweee I know about hornworms from when my dad took me tomato picking once a year.
H is gone for the evening but I will barely get to relax. I need to do Pilates, take a shower so I can shave my situation, make a grocery list, and pay bills. Oh and do my nails which I don't enjoy.
I need some major fingers crossed that my project actually kicks off on Monday or I'll be forced to take PTO, which means no Thanksgiving or Christmas time off.
The PP video hoax thing has prompted me to pare down my FB friends list. Aaaahhhh.
I went to sherwin williams to get paint to paint the hallway tonight and they mixed the damn wrong color!!!! I am pissed. I put the baby to bed early and got all set up before I realized. Of course I realized this 2 minutes before they closed. There goes my night.

DD had her first half-day of K today. The first words out of her mouth were a thorough explanation of lunch. "First, they gave us a tray and put the food on it. Then I got to pick my milk... white milk or chocolate. I picked white milk. I ate most of the beans, some mashed potatoes, all the hot dog, and all the apple." When I asked what else she did, she couldn't remember lol.
I just opened two boxes that were sent to me after my aunt died nearly 10 years ago. It is my grandmother's silver- teapots, silverware, candlesticks, etc. Now I'm just pissed that I have no good place to put it. I want to keep it all and I don't know that I can. It doesn't feel fair.
I'm getting K down as usual for this time of night.
We had a play date with my friend and her son today. X had fun and then he played with his pool and water table after dinner. He should be good and tired for bed!
I miss alcohol - not for the booze as much as just having something yummy to drink after bedtime. I need to buy something interesting and non caffeinated and not too sugary to drink at night.
Coconut water? Time for a soda stream? We drink a lot of fizzy water with bits of fruit mixed in for a tiny bit of flavor.

I am frustrated that a job that I think I may be getting an offer for has pushed back their decision process 2 weeks due to travel.
Also, remember the dream job I didn't get? As far as I can tell they've rewritten the job description to be lower level and reposted it. So now I don't feel so bad about not being picked

I got 4 packages in the mail today! My Usborne starter kit, my mini boden order, a book I ordered from Amazon, and the thank you cards I ordered from Shutterfly. I love getting mail!!
Lying on the couch while DH makes steaks for dinner! I did turn the oven on and put in the sweet potatoes to bake, so I haven't been totally useless.
Hoping that after dinner, we can go upstairs and at least measure out where the wall hangings will go in the nursery so DH can hang them tomorrow. It takes forever because engineer DH has to measure a bunch of different ways to make sure it's perfect. In the end I appreciate his attention to detail but I just want to get it done!!
I totally spoiled DD at the zoo today and I don't care. We rode the carousel, kept buying food to feed the goats, she got a souvenir cup, big sucker and chicago style mix popcorn.
Usually I bring our own lunch and we spend under $5 total since we already have a membership. Not today though!

I need to go to bed early tonight. Getting up at 2:30 am to shower and hit the road. I'm hoping that by leaving early Lane will sleep during the 5 hour drive to the lake. He's gotten kind of antsy in the car during long trips recently & Im nervous he will be while it's just me and no way to entertain him. Ugh.
The girls learned today how to say the word no instead of just shake their heads. This is one word I could have done without. All night it's been no, no, nooo, nooo, nooo, no, no, nooo. Half the time i think they don't even truly mean it they just like to say it lol.

Cranky toddler and husband made for an awesome evening.
Also I know DH's love language isn't acts of service like mine is, but I thought maybe today he would do something nice for me since he was off. My laundry was in the basket when I left for work and still in the basket when I got home. Oh well.
