Single girl life: Sunday edition

[Anonymous]

And? I have the same day except I'm married and have 3 children too. DH brings me coffee in bed on the weekends and I sleep in until whenever I would like to get up. Today was 11. He takes care of the children during the weekend.

What’s the point of this?

I would never travel to NYC without my husband. It's not safe.

Had to hustle my overnight guest out before my brunch date showed up. Treated to a champagne brunch but felt like the servers wasn’t deferential enough to our status and my Insta feed distracted me from my avocado toast.

The driver dropped me back at my condo and I had to wait for like 2 minutes on the elevator. I spent the afternoon with SATC playing in the background while I contemplated the nature of my navel.

I blew off one of my app stalkers and had an almond for dinner before updating my fan merch list. Now I’m deep moisturizing to prepare for my 11:30 brunch tomorrow.

Sunday scaries are the worst!

I’m still lounging under my blanket thinking of how to wrap up my Sunday and get ready for work tomorrow.

It gets better, pp!

I slept in until 8:30 this morning.

Married girl Sunday: got up at 6, worked out for 1.5 at my home gym, 20 min sauna, shower, had an amazing sex with my husband of 25 years, another shower. Husband made coffee, I made breakfast. Drove 2 hours to pick up youngest kid from college. Older kid came to the house for early dinner (cooked by husband) before flying to Europe (I sent with them my Christmas shopping list). Now drinking my tea, and browsing internet in bed.

Wow. Living married mom life with 2 under 5 and I’m so happy for you all but also so jealous hahah.

Up at 6:30 with baby, 4 yo was up at 7:30. DH went out for a walk with baby at 7:30 while I made pancakes with 4 yo.

Played or took care of the kids / cleaned / chores until noon. Went out to a nice lunch and shopping for 3 hours with everyone.

Made cookies with 4yo at 3pm. Made dinner for kids at 5pm.

Children collapsed into tantrums and tears from 6-8:30pm and I am finally at peace and quiet at 9pm….

Too tired so skipped dinner.

I think all the empty nester, middle aged women calling themselves girls is the most ridiculous part of this thread.

3:45am wake up to hear DH clattering around downstairs because he forgot to run the dishwasher last night.

7:30am wake up and head down to hang out with DH9, who wants to show me all his miniverse toys before doing his AOPS homework. DH makes us breakfast sandwiches.

9am Starbucks run and DS swim lesson. He just reached level 6 of 10, which means he just started doing back stroke and freestyle the entire length of the pool, which is cool.

11-11:45 help DS with violin practice for next week’s holiday recital.

12pm hummus wrap for lunch and get a haircut.

2pm hang out with DS and work on a puzzle together.

3-5pm lounge around on couch alone while DH and DS go to a minor league hockey game.

5pm make hot pot and eat on the couch watching Gossip Girl and YouTube shorts about NYC pizza. Saved some hot pot for DS to eat.

A true tiger mom would first wake up at 5:00 to exercise and then do the rest of your list.

Married mom life. Older child and husband went to 7 am Mass; younger child work up around 7 to take care of pet, eat breakfast, get dressed, and start HW. I gradually allowed myself to wake up and caught up on emails and SM scrolling and eventually was up and moving around 11 am. Spent day doing laundry, finishing Christmas cards, cleaning out fridge, putting dinner in crockpot, readying baked good gifts for upcoming social occasions this week. Older child went to part-time job at 5 pm. Younger child and I went to Mass at 5 pm. Once home, made quick pasta dinner with sauce that had been simmering all day in crockpot and went to bed early because the dark coldness is just overwhelming. Older child drove self home after work and did check in with me once home safely so I would not wake up later and worry.

lol. As if your husband could protect you from whatever you’re afraid of.

PS—NYC is incredibly safe.

Why so defensive? This post wasn’t an attack on YOU.
