A Day in the Life: Journal of a Single Mom
This morning = victory 🏆 Trash day! Bins to the curb 👍
Morning chaos checklist:
🐾 Cats fed ✔️
💊 Vitamins/meds ✔️
🚿 Showered ✔️
👕 Clean clothes ✔️ (Thanks, late-night laundry ✨)
🥪 Kiddos’ lunch prepped ✔️
🏃♀️ Out the door ✔️ (Coffee? Left behind…sigh 😢)
Drop-off ✅
Work grind 🖥️ Clock in & out. Pickup 🚗
Dinner solved 💪 Shepherd’s Pie tonight—thanks to meal prep! (Thankyou past self)
Meal prep has been a game-changer for me, making my days just a little easier. If you’re looking to simplify your evenings & plan ahead, I’ve got a free printable meal plan PDF waiting for you over at journalofasinglemom.com. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
Then comes the lawn debate:
⛽️ Gas in the tank?
🔧 Mower start?
🌧️ Too wet?
didn’t even get that far.
Nope, rodents chewed a hole in the gas tank.
Go to 4 stores, purchase a $20 tank
Purchase gas
Put gas in mower
discover the mower is leaking fuel everywhere
yeah I don’t think that’s supposed to happen. After initial shock & watching oily Gas go all over my drive way, I had the idea to tip the mower way from where it was leaking. And that’s where it stays for now. That’s another days issue.
Wash hands
make dinner
go out & work a DoorDash shift 🚗💸
Some days, just surviving = win 🏅 And that’s enough
lessons learned= check gas container & mower before this time next year.
start with just a little ⛽️
