Temporary Housewife

Behold: my new bicycle! It's one of the cheaper bikes available at Target, with my 5% off it is totally worth it. ISN'T IT ADORABLE.  This thing isn't fancy. It's not expected to take me on a motocross track, or jump over rocks, or do wheelies like I'm known to do. No, my extreme sports career is long over. Yes, back in the day I was known as Loca Lulu, frequenting Shady skate parks and stair rails and running away from the fuzz.* Anyway, I'm excited to start riding my bike around the neighborhood with my little girl, which was the whole point of this purchase. Wish me luck! *or...maybe inspired by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series.  And Grand Theft Auto.

This particular video includes much more narration than I think is necessary however I don't want to do it over. Cleaning my stove once in a mediocre fashion is plenty for me. In other news, I bought an adorable cheap bicycle. https://youtu.be/QlK1TwYOzJQ

Honest to heck, I haven't been on a swing in YEARS.The movement makes me sick, and my ass has gotten so large I wasn't even sure it was going to fit. But I wanted to be with G, so unsaid screw it, wedged it in there and fought the motion sickness.  AREN'T I JUST AMAZING. 😒 https://youtu.be/vuv-AU45xrw

So many things about this video... Do we teach G how to be a good sport?   Do we solve the stinky puppy problem? Did the puppy piss on my floor? Can we resist the giant carrot? Is it possible for Jess and I to play a game and not verbally slap each other? Can you count how many times I mock my own child? How many times do I swear in front of her? WHO WILL WIN? Watch and savor 14 minutes of us playing a bunny game with G and planning our recipe for Baseball! Enjoy!

SO EASY TO DO.

You know how you all have always wanted to see me make blueberry muffins out of a box at 5:45 in the morning in my pajamas? WAIT NO MORE. It's 12 revolutionary minutes of ME.  Baking MUFFINS.  From a BOX. There is a lot of yawning.  Will it be contagious to the watcher?  Well you have to sit and see.  12 minutes you will never want back! Results forthcoming!

At least the good news is that the week is half over. But I'm about to start one of my most loathed chores... Meal planning. I use this miniature little whiteboard to plan.  I write out my ideas, and they're mostly met with general malaise and apathy. Unless there's mac and cheese, then somebody in the house gets super excited. I also use this whiteboard to track what we still have in the freezer. While ambitious and symbolic of a true domestic goddess, you can imagine that this doesn't always work out. Especially on those days where I just don't care. Last week there was a day that I just didn't care. It's frustrating because I really don't have anything else to do so I should care and be all excited about cooking things, but... Nah. So here we go!  Tentative meal plan for the week! I know: I'm amazing.  Side note:  I was about to push publish to this post as I was taking a dogs outside for a phone call to Nature, and Daisy just went and ate ...
