Today was day two of No Husband. But I had a game plan.
First stop: the zoo. It was a special day where they park all sorts of big trucks and vehicles in the lot and let kids climb in and out of them. It was the first year of this event, and it showed. They could have used about 10-20 more things. Maybe a dump truck and a cement mixer. How about a tractor? We spent most of our time waiting in lines and climbing in and out of the stroller.
But the zoo is always fun, and we got there early, so we got to see a bunch of stuff without fighting the crowd.
Second stop: haircuts. Shep was a trooper, Neko was a nightmare. Her hair looks a bit choppy, but I’m willing to look past it so I don’t have to go through the whole experience again. It’s edgy, right?
Third stop: Home for naps. Except Neko didn’t nap. And Ellery was spotty.
Fourth stop: Susie and Doug play the role of Angelic Superheroes and take my kids for a few hours. All three of them. And I ran around like a crazy person, trying to get things done in the house that I can’t do with kids there.
Fifth stop: bed. Except they hadn’t really been home all day, so they managed to stay up until nearly 9:30pm. Which is too late for this tired lady.
