good<\/em> time.<\/p>\nJuggling a playdate between our older children’s schedules, my youngest still nursing, pick-up times for your kid in full-day school, my allergy shot, your doctor appointment, etc, etc is the main reason I haven’t seen you in real life in months.<\/p>\n
Let’s just say Wednesday at 2.<\/p>\n
BYOD Bring your own diapers—just kidding! I keep\u00a0those stocked up alongside my water. (I am, however, only sharing so much from my wine supply.)<\/p>\n
Why:\u00a0<\/strong>Because I’m beginning to feel like I don’t get my social-butterfly girls together with other kids enough, and I’m wondering if there’s some point where that makes me a totally shitty mom. And because if I don’t have a conversation with another adult within the next two days, I might appear full-on insane the next time I talk waaaaay too much to the cashier at Earth Fare.<\/p>\nRSVP:<\/strong> You should probably just text. Because, frankly, I\u00a0will likely not answer the phone.<\/p>\nGenerally, every time<\/em> I see an incoming call, this coincides exactly with smelling poop, and then having to find the source. If I do<\/em> answer the phone, it will take us about five minutes to get\u00a0a\u00a0handful of\u00a0sentences out to each other, because it never ever<\/em> fails that every single\u00a0freaking\u00a0time<\/em> I make a phone call, my kids both urgently need me for something completely unimportant, or\u00a0they whine until I finally abruptly end the phone call (and then vow not to use this function of my phone for at least another week).<\/p>\nHope to see you soon! I’ll be crossing my fingers that, within this week it took us to plan our playdate, my kids don’t get their 195th cold of the season.<\/p>\n
