An hour into day one and I was already wondering how we were going to make it out of spring break alive.

Me: It’s at 7.
H: Oh, I was close.
Me: Yeah, the season ended 3 weeks ago.
I don’t know why there’s mercury in gatorade or how that has any impact on my life but a mom at the school pick up line said I could blame all my problems on it and honestly I’ve never been more relieved.

Me: Were there supposed to be horses?
6: If I had my way.
I sent my 1yo to get me toilet paper and she came back with a mask and a cape. I don't think she understands the severity of this situation, or maybe she does...

My toddler with eyes still closed at 5:45am:
“I want some donuts”
Turn box upside-down.
— Rodney Lacroix (@moooooog35) March 29, 2019
Rip apart box.
Shoot contents across kitchen while tearing bag wide open.
Pour half of contents in bowl, half on the table/floor.
Leave only 5 pieces in bag.
Do not close bag.
Put box back in cabinet.
