So the title of this post really sounds more like a tag than a title, but it's really fitting. Alright let's get down to it! The last two days have been amazingly busy for my little family. My mother-in-law just got remarried yesterday. She has actually already changed the date a few times due to covid restrictions and thought with the lull we had that she could plan without fear. Well as you know covid has spiked again meaning last Friday the mask mandate was reinstated here. Not something that really thrilled her. We had a rehearsal dinner on Friday and because I'm such a great planner (super procrastinator!) I also had to go shopping for something to wear!(Yay!) Thanks to covid I really don't leave my house more than I have to (I didn't really leave it before, but now I have an excuse). Got done with the clothes shopping and immediately it was time to go to my husband's grandparents' house for the rehearsal. Now his grandmother is old fashioned southern hospitality kind of gal. This means that she was trying to prep enough food to feed an army on her own plus clean and decorate. She's in her mid 70's with so me heart issues so of course I jumped in and spent about four hours prepping food with her and one of her friends. Luckily my husband was there to watch our hyper active two year old! After this exhaustive night we had the wedding the following day. If you have kids you will definitely understand how I felt going into this. The wedding was set for 3pm and nap time is normally 2pm. We needed to arrive early so nap was out of the question (he also decided to wake up early). Cranky two year old in formal wear at a wedding! He and my husband hung out with grandma (the bride) while I helped everyone in the main venue. It was a lot of organizing and letting people know where we're at. Wedding party arrives and I go out to the hall to snag kiddo from my husband who needs to walk his mother down the aisle. As soon as we get in my son starts yelling go for walk! Long story short I missed the whole ceremony while walking my kiddo up and down the hall outside of the room! I don't think it helped everyone was wearing masks and he isn't a crowd kind of kid. Finally exhausted we got to sneak out a bit early! Kiddo had finally passed out for a bit at the wedding, but this meant he hadn't ate anything there. I wanted to be a proper responsible mom of course so I decided to heat up some fish sticks and tater tots in the toaster oven. Let me tell you....using VERY hot appliances when tired is NOT a good time. I warmed the fish sticks first since they cooked at a higher degree than the tots (450). Took them out with the oven mitt and set them on a plate. Grabbed tater tots and went to put them on the same metal tray and thought I should move that tray first.... grabbed it with my bare right hand... and yes hurray burns! All five fingers! I don't have great temperature feeling in my hands when it comes to heat so it took me a moment to really feel it. My thumb is screwed! Thank goodness we had a bottle of aloe in the house. Hand feels much better today, but this is definitely a weekend that I need a weekend to recover from!
