I made my to-do list into IG performance art, and I liked it.

 Convo I had with myself in the car driving home from a successful shopping experience on Sunday afternoon: On the one hand, fast fashion is the WORST. On the other hand, Old Navy already made these jeans, so if they want to me take them home for $2.97, who am. I to say no?

This was my to-do list on Sunday

Honestly? I didn't want to do ANY OF IT, especially since Ben was sick, so I put this slide on IG and tried to document my day for a bit of accountability.

I had groceries and Target picked up by 8:20 am and enlisted kids to unload and sort the haul while I really fast tidied bedrooms and bathrooms, hoping to get out the door by 9:15 for swim lessons. I hit a stumbling block because I forgot that Harry hosted 7 dude bros for a poker night in his bedroom and we just went to sleep and left the table and chairs in the middle of his room, the brownies I made on top of his fridge, etc etc etc. He was at work and couldn't help, so I had to rally sick Ben. 

By this point, we were definitely going to be late for lessons, so I called Goldfish and got her bumped to a 10am slot. Ben and I got coffees at a favorite local spot (only he got tea because SICK) and headed to class.

Minnie played happily with the toys in the lobby but then decided she did not want to stay for class.

So we went home because I am not going to force her to swim/ have her scream and cry all over the place, etc.

And I crossed it off my list because we were there!

We needed five lunches for Monday-- 2 for Coop (one for school and one for after diving practice), 2 for Dorothy (one for school and one to eat at dance between classes) and one for Minnie (who had a bonus lunch bunch because I had a weirdly timed meeting), so I packed them during the lunch hour since everything was a mess anyway.

I was wearing my favorite beat up Target junior jeans (you know, that Wild Fable teenage brand?) and they are THE BEST because they're so comfy I can do yoga in them (no stretch, just super lived-in feeling). And! Yoga was so great I stayed in my mat to write.

Every weekend, I procrastinate on updating our calendars because I am just not ready to face the onslaught of the week to come. In a perfect world, I would look at the calendar on FRIDAY and meal plan/start a grocery cart then-- something I am working on.

Minnie and I spent a lovely pre-dinner hour at Old Navy combing the clearance rack. I bought myself $3 jeans, a $7 dress and a sweatshirt that was not marked down and ended up costing as much as those 2 items, plus boots and 3 dresses for Minnie. 

I multitasked by reading my book while walking 4 miles (LOVED IT and read it in the time it took to walk 4 miles-- just under an hour. Because when I put finish my book on my list, I meant the rando Kindle thriller I was reading, but then I remembered that I needed to read this one-- that I hadn't started yet-- by MONDAY for a MEETING. Yikes!

The new dinner recipe was kind of meh. It called for roasted peppers, but I forgot them and had to use a bag of frozen chopped green peppers, so I think the blandness was on me (I did sautee the hell out of those peppers, tho)

Ben saw a commercial for this truly bananas Barbie set that features a dog who births puppies, so I bought it because OF COURSE I DID. Minnie is a fan; the rest of us are vaguely horrified.
