[daily] taking out the trash

[RepresentingCaution]

Trimmed my toenails, cleared out old emails. Saw stuff from the dead author I've worked with on four books and stopped deleting stuff.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Taught the kid how to clean the microwave, and he said, "Cleaning the microwave is so fun!"

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Organized some things.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Made Thai peanut sauce, did more trip planning, ordered soap-making supplies so I can make gifts to give people throughout the trip.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Hollowed out a pumpkin, filled it with meat and onions, and tossed it in the oven to cook. Spent two hours trying to convince my kid to nap while Husband worked with hazardous stuff. Took the kid out of the bedroom to pee twice, and then refused to take him out to pee again because I knew he just wanted to look at what Dada was doing, but we didn't want him breathing the stuff.

Vacuumed the rugs and cooked dinner on the damnable grill so that waste of money wasn't just collecting dust

My inspiring professor continued to terrorize my Wednesdays. We, me and my classmates, just recently suffered as a civilian casualty as the professor unleashed his dragon magic on my seniors who miserably failed in scheduling the virtual venue of their thesis defense. The area of effect damage that my prof's tongue-lashing had unleashed was quite enormous in that he would shame the infamous dragon's breath and the meteor magic of even the strongest archmage. Imagine, me, a mere civilian gazing upon such a destructive might that even gods would tremble in fear once they stood witness to what such power could do. It literally made people quiver, and shed tears of remorse for their own failings as human beings... of course without actually killing them in the process.
Well, it did kill something. I believe it was called the 'soul'. He'd return our souls in the next Wednesday, I hope.

I took a shower, walked the husband and the child, made milk for the child, got the child dressed and gave the child to Grandma and Grandpa, cooked some noodles for the Thai peanut sauce, ate, fucked the husband, got the child back and made more milk, ran around and around in circles with the child, got out playdough, started kneading water into the playdough because it was drying out. While I was kneading water into the playdough, the child told Dada that he had to poop, so Dada put the child on the toilet. I went into the bathroom and read a book to the child while he was pooping and then washed his anus when he was done pooping.

Set up play mat and got out tools for playdough, made a bunch of worms and spirals for the child to cut and unwind. After the child ran off to play with other things, I told the child that if he did not help me put away the playdough tools, I would be too tired to play with anything else and we would go to bed and sleep. The child did not help me put away the playdough tools, but then he didn't fight be about going to sleep, so that was nice.

And that was just the evening! I couldn't think of anything special we did today, so I just listed off all the normal things.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Picked up warm clothes for road trip at thrift store. Tossed food in slow cooker. Also, the usual.

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

Shaved and got a chapter written.

 

[HelloHound]

ran errands, put up supplies, and had puppy in lap for an extended amount of time

 

[Stealthy_Enigma]

Lugged in and built a new desk in my room. Now I finally have my own workstation! Much better than using a TV tray!!!

Washed the kid's hair and told him how brave he was while he screamed.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Trimmed the kid's fingernails and told him how brave he was while he screamed.

I hope this is just a phase, because he's been more cooperative in the past. He's never liked hair washing, nail trimming or toothbrushing, and he's never fully cooperated, but it's usually not this big of a struggle.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Got my kid a flu shot and Covid booster and told him how brave he was while he screamed.
"I'm very scared!"
"Let's go home!"
"I can run away?"
"Put me down!"

The nurse said that he was very smart, and while trying to shoot him, she said that he was very strong.
The nurses in the postpartum ward said that he was very strong when they were trying to swaddle him, too

Should be a thing you put on the fridge, so he can be properly embarrassed about it later at the family reunion.

Not really my style. I'm too busy making up embarrassing songs!

I have studied the ways of how to be an evil mother. Rule #1 is always embarrass them, and number 2 is to come up with new ways to embarrass them. While everyone in the Thanksgiving gathering is talking about the current Cowboys game or politics, just start bringing in the embarrassing facts. Especially, the chuuni syndrome that they may or may not have had.

I guess I'm not an evil mother. I prefer bragging, though I could probably embarrass him by bragging too much.

ran a lot of errands and made a valiant attempt at working out before my back complained hard enough that I got to lay down on the floor about it. ouch oof my back
