I know it’s Friday but I want to talk about Wednesday. Wednesday, dear Wednesday. It was a rough start. It was honestly a rough day all around. Our neighbors have a water line that is broken and it connects to the main line in our front yard so there was some excavating to be done.
We’ve known this was coming, and it all happened to begin right in the middle of getting the family ready for school that morning. Massive trucks were arriving when the bus was due to pick up my oldest, and right before I was due to leave and drop off my youngest at preschool. There was a lot of moving and shaking first thing. I had to move my car before they blocked me in, and reassure the girls that everything was going to be fine.
We ended up grabbing McDonald’s breakfast on our way to preschool. I got my youngest a sausage McGriddle and Hashbrown. She only ate a bite of the Hashbrown and half of the McGriddle and so that became my breakfast.
I sat with a cup of coffee when I got home, and watched some of the chaos happening outside of my window. I know God is in control, but it’s also a little alarming to see the earth dug up in a big pile outside of your window.
Our girls were a little worked up about it all before going to school as well, so when u picked up my youngest we tried to stay out and away from home for a bit. We grabbed subway for lunch and went to the library together.
In the afternoon, I made myself an oatmilk latte and got some work done from home.
For dinner, we ended up getting sesame chicken and fried rice.
This day was exhausting for me. I made it through with about 1,850 calories for the day.
