My mood is tied too tightly with Robin’s moods. When she is upset, I’m upset. When she’s happy, I’m happy. It’s not just Robin, really, it’s just that her moods vacillate the most. It’s exhausting being Robin.

The highlight of my day was realizing that Robin didn’t know what country she lives in and that she thinks the capitol of the US is Minneapolis. We took care of both those things and a few others over dinner while Christina was at dance and it was a lot of fun.

I gave Robin some tough news today about a decision Billy and I made for her and she took it as hard as I expected. It mad me sad and frustrated, because all I want for her is happiness. I feel like I am losing her and it’s my fault. Let’s go back to the days when all we disagreed over was sippy cups. But those days were hard too.

Back to work today and back to work indeed. By 8:00 I had both kids not speaking to me. I put Pinot on the market for five cents and got no takers. I think it’s time for another day.

So much driving around today. Dropped kids off at camp, went to restaurant to pick up credit card I left behind yesterday, went to Panera for coffee, Whole Foods to return ballet shoes that didn’t fit Christina, got gas, then worked (on a company holiday), showered, picked up kids from camp, took Christina to dance, came home for an hour, took Robin to cheer, picked Christina up from dance, had dinner, picked Robin up from cheer. Billy went to the garage where they towed his car on Saturday. They said they’d towed 17 cars there on Saturday. Yikes. Booked the last hotels for our vacation and also reserved a sunset kayak tour at Acadia on the 4th of July. I’m going to force the kids to suffer through a strenuous hike up Cadillac Mountain. Better bring some good snacks. And earplugs.
