I honestly don't know how people my age handle having multiple small children on a daily basis. Just having B's sister for two days drained me to no end. Also this child has been raised differently than how I raised my kid and since it's not my kid, I can't do anything about that. Regardless, she just had so much energy and it was exhausting. I was up around 8, she got up shortly thereafter. I made her pancakes for breakfast which she devoured. This of course just gave her more energy. Sigh. I should have given her lumpy oatmeal. We took her to the cider mill. Once again, the reality did not live up to the expectation. This is the third(?) year in a row where B tells me how much fun it is going to be and no one has fun. Too many people, too much mud, too hot, too crowded. Just ugh.
After the cider mill we took the kid for lunch, then dropped her at her grandmother's. We got back home around 2 and both of us were like nap time please. I slept for about an hour, B for more. Neither of us wanted dinner so we picked on whatever. Around 7 I was getting fidgety and decided to take a ride to Target. B wanted to focus on a blanket she is making. Perfect. I needed some alone down time anyway.
Went to target, meandered around. Picked up a few small things for the house like a new basket for the bathroom junk. Got home, redid said bathroom junk, watched a little tv with B, played some video games, and went to bed around midnight.
Today there are no immediate plans. Good.
