People often wonder what it means to be an adult and what it means to be a parent. Let me tell you - it means when you wake up hung over and feel like shit, if your kid is having an issue you push it back and you deal. That would be me this morning. I woke up at 8:30 to find the kid on the couch with a fever of 100 and puke covered blankets and towels in the bathroom. Okay, time to take care of things. Be the adult. Get her situated. That's what I just finished doing.
Yesterday was a LONG busy day. I took the kid to work at nine then went to Ikea. I bought new shelves for Disney stuff. That was followed by Home Depot for show stuff. Then I headed down to my friend's place. We went to a local store that was having a sale on some stuff we both were looking at. Went back to their house and made sangria for a party later that night. Came home and started doing stuff around the house. Started to run a network cable into the kid's room. Realized I was out of little clips things to keep it mounted against the wall. Back to home depot. Oh and look, I am out of toilet paper. Sigh. Target and Home Depot. Picked the kid up at work and then came home to do more stuff. Ran her cable, made little pies, and got ready to go a party.
Got to the party at about 7:15 and left at 1:30. Had a good time. Got a little drunk but still made it home. I let my mouth run a little too much, but it was needed. I needed to let it out a bit. I didn't do anything too bad so I am okay with everything. Plus it was a small group of people which made it easier for me. I knew that I couldn't get into too much trouble given the size.
Now today is house cleaning day. I have the kid situated on the couch with a movie, toast, and tea. She is good to go.
