The amount of conversations that I’ve had with other moms over bluey pajamas 😂

[sincerelyerika]

It’s 6am, almost 7 and I was supposed to watch my nieces 6am-3:30pm so I was up waiting for them but my sister texted nvm! 🙌🏼

Pablo left for work and now I’m going to see if I can start my new book before the kids run in here. They don’t get up early but without fail every morning they wake up and transfer over from their room to mine lol.

Today’s goals will be to tidy up the living room, alll the laundry, work on homeschool prep, and I think I’m going to start working on purging ALL the kids stuff so the room transition is easier.

Pablo will be using my car for awhile while we wait for his to get fixed?? (waiting on insurance) but I am taking that as reason to chill and get stuff done at home without having the temptation to go out.

I last minute (like today) decided that we are going to turn Jayden’s room into a shared room for the boys (they already sleep together anyway) but I am going to officially move all of Isaac’s clothes and stuff in there.

And I’m going to turn Isaac’s room into a homeschool room. It will have a daybed so it will double as a guest room if we ever need it.

Which means… we have to switch their beds, cause right now the daybed is in Jayden’s room and the bunk beds are in Isaac’s. The only reason I’m not leaving them as is is because Jayden’s room is bigger so it only makes sense to give them the bigger room. But it sucks because we have to disassemble the bunk beds.. 😬 and haul the daybed out of Jayden’s room.

Luckily Pablo pretty much just says yes to whatever I say 😅 he was ready to do it today but I was like no it’s ok it can wait just cause I know he was tired and it was totally unplanned.

But I am so excited! Funny enough, this house originally had 4 rooms and we had a homeschool room, but I decided we didn’t need one and we knocked down the wall to the 4th room and turned it into a loft/movie room. Which I love!

But now that the boys sleep together anyway, and now that I’m starting kindergarten with Isaac so will be schooling 2 kiddos, I’m like okay a homeschool room would be useful.

So yeahhh I’m excited! All the ideas for making it cute. And revamping Jayden’s room while we’re at it to make it more for both of them. I probably won’t be done by the time we start the school year, but that’s ok. Every room in this house is unfinished 🤪

-Also, I registered Jayden for classes for his First Communion and it will be the first time he will be in a classroom/away from me! I am nervous lol but also excited for him to have the experience.

The girl at Sephora today was like “oh you’re a Libra. I think that means you’re pretty. Cause libras usually are.”

I don’t know if she was complimenting me but didn’t know how, or insulting me bahaha

I just said thanks 😅

I got a new Rare Beauty liquid blush because I used up the one I had!!! And a glossy lip balm. Love that Sephora is now at Kohl’s 🙌🏼

EVEN THOUGH I KNEW I’M NOT PREGNANT

I took 2 pregnancy tests lmao (negative x2)

BECAUSE

My last period was 2/24

👀

I think I’m going thru perimenopause fr

Also Pablo has a vasectomy FYI TMI IDK 😂

[sincerelyerika]

So it’s been 99 days since my last period. Is this cause to go to the doctor? 🤨

Also- I was going through my period tracker and last year I missed 4 months in total (2 were consecutive) so like it makes sense that maybe I’m just old and my periods are starting to go away??

[sincerelyerika]

Me: *makes spaghetti for dinner*

Jayden: *asks for seconds, eats everything off both plates*

Pablo: How was the spaghetti, Jayden?

Jayden: It was ok…

Me: 😑

He acts like such a teenager already sometimes lol & yes I was offended 😂

[sincerelyerika]

I agreed to socialize today and I’m already regretting it 😩 Remind me next time not to if I don’t actually want to 🙃

My cousin asked my sister and I if we wanted to do something today and (after lots of hesitation) I was like sure come over and we’ll let the kids play on the splash pad.

I got up and have been outside getting everything ready and omg it’s insanely hot I’m like whyyy. I could’ve just stayed in all day today in the COLD AC lounging/taking my time cleaning.

Instead we are going to sweat and make a bigger mess and there are wasps everywhere outside and I couldn’t even get the Smirnoff I wanted and my sister might not come so it’ll just be my cousin and I’m over it before it’s even started 🙃

[sincerelyerika]

Update: ‘tis fun so far 😆 I guess this is why we socialize
