The bathroom renovation is almost over and I think I'm ready. With our kitchen out of commission for two days (the bathroom is right above the stove) and the bathroom inaccessible until Sunday (for grout curing), our schedule has been disrupted. I think it's the longest I've ever been without a bath and it's making me edgy. It's a major decompression and relaxation technique for me. A friend is letting us use her bathroom this afternoon, which is very kind, but not the same.
Today at playgroup was stressful. In fact, just having playgroup created some confusion because some people decided at the last minute to go somewhere else--it was too late for me to contact everyone and change the plan and I'd promised Sis and Buddy that we were going to the mall (even though the other place sounded more fun). Other people did show up at playgroup (which was at the mall because our park picnic was rained out), thankfully. It was a lonely wait, though, with about 40 minutes of thinking everyone had decided to go play elsewhere. All the while Sis asked, "Why aren't our friends here?"
Then my kids lost it. In a big way. We're perpetually sleep deprived, and it is a strange week with Gommie's departure and the bathroom renovation. Sis cried off and on the whole time--for food, for the escalator, for the elevator, for the ice cream truck ride, for anything but what we had. At one point, Buddy planted his feet, stomping, refusing to move. Luckily for me, the other moms there were so kind.
And I forgot to give them the chocolate chip cookies I had made.
I owe them.
Big time.
