And I'm Sarah, a new mom to one sweet babe living in Brooklyn, New York. Between five busy households, it's a miracle we make it on the mic at all. But Trust me, we need this as much as you do. Hey, guys. What's going on? Welcome back to Nursing and Cursing. Tonight, we got one for you. This is all about husband's self-care, not our self-care, our husband's self-care. What do they do for themselves? What don't they? How far do they take it? Actually, what do they do for themselves? Nothing. That's why they have so much time for self-care.
Here we go. And here it comes. I have a long list of things, though, that like of what my husband doesn't do for himself. Maybe that's a different podcast. No, definitely. Your husband doesn't take self-care. No. OK, go on. Well, here's a question, too. What would your husband say? Not just you, Sarah, but everybody. What would your husband say about your self-care? Oh, yeah. Do you take it?
Yes, my husband, this is Allie, would think that I take tons of self-care. So would JJ. Yeah. 100%. Garrett would say, I do not take enough. And I feel like I do a pretty damn good job. Jeremy would say, I take whatever. Jeremy would say, you do whatever you want. If you wanted more time, why don't you just say something? Right. And I look at you, Kate, and I feel like, no, you don't take enough self-care. You take a bath at 1 a.m. once everybody's asleep. You take a bath. He would probably tell you.
And, or maybe this is just like my, um, like my insecurity talking. He'd probably tell you like, well, when the kids are at school, you can do whatever you want. Like you don't have to go to Costco. You don't have to be at school. You don't have to blah, blah, blah. Like he's measuring your, he would measure your self care by like how chill he would be if you took it. I think he's just thinking like if, if he were home while the kids were at school, what would he do? He'd watch TV. So he feels like that's a choice for me when in my mind, like, no, it's not even an option. Like it doesn't cross my mind.
Okay. When I'm home, Garrett will be like, why don't you just kick on the TV? Because there's like tons of shit to do. Exactly. Yeah. Jeremy's like, well, after you drop every single day, he comes downstairs half an hour after I've already been up or an hour after I've already been up. He's like, how you doing? And I really actually try not to stay tired because who, come on, you want to just live with somebody for 20 years and just every morning be like, how you doing? Okay. Noted. I'll change my ways. Yeah. But you know, I try not to stay tired, but of course, sometimes I'm like, oh yeah, I slept great. Could have gone for 20 more hours. And he'll be like, well, babe.
After you drop the kids off, why don't you just come back and crash? Because in his mind, that's exactly how he would handle it. But I'm like, no, my day started. My day's going to keep going now. Like, that's just how my day's going to be. Yeah. Okay. So what is self-care? So what's his self-care all about? JJ's number one self-care. I have to say, like Sarah, there's some things I think he could do to take better care of himself. Are you sucking on ice? I'm sorry. I just made a margarita. His number one self-care. What's my self-care? That was so nonchalant. Just made a margarita. No big deal. JJ's number one self-care is naps.
As anybody who knows me knows. He's a big napper. Right. When JJ is tired. JJ and I are the same person. When JJ is tired, he'll just be like. Except when it comes to partying. Go on. Sorry. He'll just announce to everybody, I'm going to take a five. He's not looking for my permission, my approval. He doesn't care. He's tired. He's letting everybody know. He's going to go take a five.
He'd be totally fine if I did the same thing. But obviously, I'd never do for a million reasons. But is it really just five minutes? I'm sorry. No, of course not. Hours later. That is unbelievable. Kate, I would never allow that. I'm sorry. You're such a nice person. I would fucking throw something on the bed to wake up, Garrett, if you did that. I mean, I'm not always nice about it. Like, no way. I mean. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I mean, plenty of times I get busy. I'll take a nap on the weekend if we're all together. But I will say to make a deal with Tim. I'll say.
I'm going to take a nap now, but then I'll take Francis to give you your time, which if Tim wants to go for a run, he's just like, Hey, what's up? I'm going for a run. Right. And I mean, but I like, I've, it's not like he doesn't check in with me at all about it because like, I think because I've made him do that, you know, like he, or I've talked about it enough that to say like, Hey, it's fucked up when you can just drop everything and go and you don't have to ask me. Time for a quick sponsor break.
So recently, my husband and I have been opening our kitchen cabinets under the sink and pulling out all of our old cleaning sprays. You know, these are the same sprays that we've been using for years. My grandmother taught me to use them. I mean, they smell clean and they make a house look very clean. But if you look at the labels, you guys, it is chemicals for days and we have little ones. So we're making a change. But the problem has been that we cannot get everything in one place. We have been shopping at.
stores in our town, the town over. We've been getting things online and then we have to read every single label. It's just exhausting. So my friend told me about a company called Grove Collaborative. Grove Collaborative is an online marketplace that delivers all natural home beauty and personal care products directly to your door, you guys. It is super fast shipping and the shipping's free on your first order and the box will be packed with stuff you know is safe for your family. I love these products. They make my house
So clean and smell like a spa. And Grove sent us this gorgeous glass spray bottle that I can refill. It's so pretty. I don't even put it under my kitchen sink. I put it right on the top of my counters. I love this place. For a limited time, when my listeners go to grove.co slash nail, you will get a free five-piece spring cleaning set from Mrs. Meyer and Grove, a $30 value. Go to grove.co slash nail to get this exclusive spring cleaning offer. That's grove.co slash nail. Give this company a try, you guys. You're going to love it. When Frances was little, it was like...
We need it all hands on deck and it's not like that anymore, but. Yeah. So he's taken his self-care with runs. Peter's a napper too. He definitely won't be like, Hey babe, I'm gonna go down and take a five. He just disappears. And he's the type that is out within 30 seconds. Literally. He's just a bear in a deep, deep, deep sleep. My dream. Yeah. Yeah. Checked out completely. I will do that. Allie's the same. I'm actually jealous of how fast he can fall asleep. And I know that it's not that he has, I mean, he has his own mental to-do list. Our to-do lists are so different. The things on our radars are so different. But when he's tired, he's not like, it doesn't, he doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. Like, Oh fuck. Did I blah, blah, blah. He's asleep.
The thing about this conversation for me, I'm realizing that my husband's pretty respectful about his self-care, but he does not carry one sliver of guilt. I cannot take a nap during the day without a voice on my shoulder the entire time nagging me that I should be getting up. That's why it's hard for me to nap during the day. That is why it's hard for me to nap. It's not.
It's my own voice going on and on and on about all the shit I have to do. I cannot relax. I can't. Or, like, sometimes I get freaked out. Like, oh, my God, what if the kids just, like, feel like they're alone in the house and mom has passed out upstairs? That's my own shit, too. Like, I'm like, oh, my God, are they going to think something's wrong? It's like those commercials where it shows the mom napping and, like, it's a depression commercial. I'm like, are they going to tell their teachers, like, my mom slept all day on Saturday even though it was sunny outside. I'm like, oh, my God. The other thing that JJ does besides the chill nap is he does not.
he does not question the evening schedule. If he needs to be out, I don't need, I don't need any kind of, there's no running it by me. There's no shared family calendar. There's no nothing. There's takes it. It takes it. There's like, there's like, what time you get me home for dinner? Oh, I thought I told you I had a blah, blah, blah tonight. Okay. Just takes it. And we're not allowed to do that. That wouldn't work. It wouldn't work. It would not work. And sometimes it all comes down to mom guilt though. Like, yes, it would work because it would have to, but like, you don't put yourself in the position to, for like, for somebody to be up against a wall like that.
true but it would be a lot there would be it'd be us handling the logistics that's right it would work if it was worth it to you and when I think how much work it sometimes is or like for me it would need to be sometimes a sitter on a weeknight and that's a whole other that's a whole other thing around here because if the kids scheduled it's not yeah a sitter can't a sitter can't can't cover all the bases not I mean sitters are better than me actually at most things but just with the schedules can't I couldn't ask another person to do it there's too many balls in the air no there's also many times even on this podcast where we're trying to get together on a recording time and There's like we don't ask or some of us don't ask our partners to, hey, I got this at this time. When you walk in the door, I'm actually out. And Sarah's right. We know it's not all about logistics. It's about our own shit. Control.
You know what I mean? If I tell Jeremy that I need to go out at 7, he'll walk in the door at 6.59. For real. Even if he would have normally been home by 6, if I tell him I need to go out at 7, he'll come in at 6.59. Just how he is. What do you mean? There's like a pushback for you if you ask for your own time? No, it's not like a pushback. Or at least I don't think he does it consciously. But he'll just be like, okay, I have until. It's like when you hit the snooze button in the morning. He'll just be like, okay, a shitstorm is waiting for me at 7 o'clock. So I'm definitely not going to show up early for it. I'm going to show up at 6.59 for the checkout. And that gives me like.
That gives me no time to get ready. That gives me no time to like transition out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But if you say that, you know, he will be like, you said seven. So I came back at seven. And if I said 630 and then I didn't leave until seven, he'd be like, wait, you told me 630, but really it's seven. Like, it's just, I can't. Don't get me started. I have a husband who plays poker one to two times a week, depending on the season.
and he calls he calls it poker season depending on how he's doing and feeling or how busy he is with his day job or you know so he gets into it sometimes two times a week and he goes that way for a couple of months and then for long stretches it'll just be once a week or the game might change whatever it is right so he calls it work though period i'll be like okay what do you got going on tonight babe i'm working tonight just labels it work Oh, you mean you're going to play poker? It's so smart. It's so smart. No, you're so right, Allie. But it's the same way that JJ will call a gala where he's out partying until two in the morning, like networking. I'm like, okay. It's a brilliant reframe. It really is on their part. I wish I could give it, but it's for work. I'm like, okay, the steak dinner till 11 p.m. It's work. Okay, cool. Right, right. You come back wasted. Oh, how was your work? How was work tonight? Exactly. Oh, you're working tonight. Okay, yeah, whatever. You're playing poker, you mean? Yeah, I'm working. I'm contributing.
To the family. Okay. He would say, same, Kate, that I take a lot of self-care. I take what I need. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. When's the last time you got a massage, Allie? Oh, God. I have no idea. Years ago. Years. I have no idea.
but the thing is it's the same thing Kate if I asked him this is about me though if I asked him for the time off that I'm taking he would give it to me the difference is the time that I'm taking though I'm just doing things I'm just doing things for other people or usually I'm fundraising for the times that I need him to be there watching my kids I'm off doing projects so there's only I feel a limited amount of time if I want to do that it's because I love to do it so you know, I'm using the time in the bank that he's going to give to me. And I, I use it for that instead of going to get a massage. So what I'm hearing is you can't ask for too much. I feel like I cannot. No, there's like two currencies. I know we've talked about this before in a relationship or like my husband, I have two currencies, time and money. He always goes for time because I have to spend it. And I always go for money because he earns it. So I would always rather spend the money and save the time. And he'd always rather I did the work and save the money. Like that's, and I feel like that is sometimes the breakdown for us.
Tim would always rather spend the money and save the time. And I would. I'd rather do the opposite. Spend the time and save the money. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, I guess like Jeremy and I probably each of us would say we get our way 50-50. So it's like it probably all comes out in the wash. But that's the push pull. I feel like that's always the tension because I could go out as many nights as he does and get a sitter. I mean, setting aside if that's good for my kids or not, I could do that. I could get a sitter three, four nights a week. But, you know, then you're like into hundreds of dollars a week in child care. And that's just another thing. Not to mention the guilt on top of it because they just got home from school.
Yeah. And you want to put your kids to bed or whatever. So I'm asleep by 8 PM every night. I mean, it's, that's the other thing. Even if Jeremy was like, you can go out, I'd swear I'd be like, I'm good. This time of year, this time of year, Peter would be like, what do you, are you talking about? All you do is take self-care. You are out with your girlfriends two to three times a week, practicing your damn, whatever you're doing. I guess that technically is self-care. I love doing that. I'm spinning my wheels, but. No, you're feeding your soul. You're talking about talent show. You're feeding your soul. Feeding your soul is different than self-care. Right.
I feel like that. Time with friends is my soul. It does come down to time, though, and a lot of the amount of time. I feel like I can't ask him for four nights a week off. Why? There's probably a lot of people that do that. But to me, I'm like, no. Or maybe it's that I don't want that much time. I don't want to be away four nights a week. Maybe that's what it is. Right. Yeah. A little bit of bomb guilt in there. I think the difference is between asking and taking. When we talk about it, we're saying, I could ask. I should ask. I'm allowed to ask for it, blah, blah, blah. When it comes to them, it's like, they take it. They take it. They take it. They take it. If they need it, they take it.
Right. And that's our bad. There's random things too. If at any time, if this is just a known thing, there's like a major swell or waves, it doesn't matter what is going on. There is not a question. He takes it. He will dip out on anything. He will be, and it's just like, nope. What do you expect? Like there's waves. I'm out here. There's no question. Classic surfers mentality. Won't keep his word. Classic surfers mentality. It's now time for a quick sponsor break. We're going to talk about Third Love, the amazing bra company out there that I stumbled upon.

It was simple, and they asked me some questions about my body type and the bras that I'm currently wearing and whether those fit or not. All right, well, I've nursed two babies, you guys, and it turns out I'm the flat-chested type with athletic boob shape. Okay, well, I ordered the classic T-shirt bra, and when it came, I was so pleasantly surprised. I'm used to these kind of boxy square-type fitting bras. This one...
was feminine. It made me feel feminine. And I ordered it in a brown color, which was almost purplish. It's very rich. It was beautiful. And when I tried it on under my t-shirt, it didn't have any lumps or bumps. It was just the perfect fit. The straps didn't slide. I can't be happier with my bra.

The word regime. Yes, exactly. I'm telling you. Currently, he's getting ready. He's a musician, so he's been practicing drums, and it has to be X amount of time every night at a certain time. Won't break it. Discipline. Insane discipline. He has amazing discipline. Before that, it's his banjo rehearsal. He makes sure he gets it in. Doesn't matter. But he will get his shit done with me. He will make sure we've got the lunches packed for the next day.
The dinner's cleaned up. And that's, you know, I've told you guys we're pretty 50-50 on that stuff. At that point, I just, like, want to get to bed or, you know, maybe even watch a show with him, something. But nope. Has to do his routine. And then, like, Sarah's Tim, it's the running. Exercise for him, yeah. The exercise.
And what I've noticed, because if I do a little bit of running, I'll come once my foot steps back in the house from the run. And I do not take long runs. I am sweaty and nasty in this Florida heat. And I am right there like back at the dishes or maybe on my hip. Same. I am rocking that outfit. To bedtime. Exactly. Me too. Same.
Where I was clocking his self-care. Like there's stretching. What a luxury. He should have stretched outside the door. There's a warm up. There's a cool down. There's a shower. There's a shower. And then I often hear. There's a beard trim. That's when I hear Jeremy shaving his head. I'm like.
kidding oh when i hear that i'm like you fuck you're taking your time in there but i mean more power to him but yes i clock it's very different he takes what he needs but he's super respectful like he kind of does the thing because it's um a regime like months ago he sat me down and was like this is what i'm gonna be doing you cool and then he takes it uh-huh and then followed by the beer time you just hear him in the kitchen chopping kale yes part of the routine oh my god yeah i know i know it's a thing morning time in our household by the way it's summer for me now so i'm just totally chilling but While we're both working, he makes sure, this is self-care, that he has a gorgeous lunch. He is chopping, cutting during the morning craziness. He is somehow fitting this in, plus a green smoothie, yada, yada, yada. That is unbelievable. I want him to be my life coach. I just want this kind of motivation. I want this kind of diet. I want this kind of discipline. It's just inside of him. I don't think this is something he had to learn. You're saying it's too late for me. He just prioritizes his health. He makes a priority.
he did learn it super super different when he was young but molly i feel like some i feel like right now it's like health and practicing in the past it's been um like drones or like oh that's like another or like his department like remember when he was gonna put the exercise bike in the garage yeah it's in there he was on there this morning spinning away I'm kind of like, I'm going to wake my whole family up. We call it the PMP, the Portman's Peloton. But he's chopping that salad and I'm like, that looks delicious. And he looks at me and he goes back to his salad. I'm like, really? Are you going to fucking ask me if I want one? You're sitting there chopping it. Just chop a few minutes longer and give me one. I would just say it.
And he does. And he, oh, I didn't know you wanted some. Oh, okay, great. But then I love, I love cold chicken nuggets for lunch. I love cold chicken nuggets. He's amazing, but I have to be pretty straightforward, you know? Yeah, that's actually probably good for you. Like, it's good to have somebody who's responsive when you're straightforward. It's good to have, to be with a partner who doesn't want to play games. Like, if you want something, just tell me. And then I can, I can give it to you. You know what I feel like about this conversation that is so hard is for me.
I don't always know what I need. And then, and in order to ask for what I need and to get it, I have to know what it is. That's a great point, Sarah. And I don't know if, if like, if we had our husbands on another episode, if we asked them, like, what is it that you need for your self-care to, you know, be. okay in the rest of your life or thriving or whatever it is that you want to feel I don't know if they would know like that these are the things that I do that I need maybe they do maybe it's very clear to them I'm not for me it's not one thing that like one thing that I think that that JJ doesn't do enough of and I do all the time and that's in the self-care department 100% is exercise and and when we met he ran all the time and I never ran and it's sort of flip-flopped and it's 100% because of our lifestyles and schedules he's like goes to work he comes home 10 hours later or he comes home in the middle of the night either way he Feels beat. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, Jay. I was just getting ready. What? He just doesn't exercise. And sometimes when he does, he says, like, I feel so much better. I wish I could do that more. And that's something like I do exercise whenever I want. Basically, I could go for a run whenever I want because the kids are at school. I mean, pretty. What about Garrett?
Um, Garrett's self-care is really kind of secretive. Like he's, it's really, it's like secret stuff. Like, oh yeah, blah, blah, blah, the estate sale. And I'm like, huh? Oh yeah, I went to an estate sale this morning. And I'm like, huh? That's mine, going to the dump. Like he sneaks it, but like, you know, it doesn't help me with school drop-offs or like getting shit together in the morning. He's sneaking off to an estate sale, but I think he's rushing off to work and then I bust him later. Or like sometimes I'll get an email like, you missed your chiropractic appointment today. And I'm like, huh? And then I forwarded to Garrett and he's like, oh yeah, I go to the chiropractor every Thursday. I just forgot to go.
And I'm like, wait, what? How do you go to the chiropractor every Thursday? So it's like really, it's things that I bust him on. Do you think he's trying to hide it from you? He's scared to tell you. No, he's scared to tell Chrissy. He's scared to tell Chrissy. I don't think he's scared. I just don't think he thinks about it. And then the stuff about like just going to an estate sale in the morning, that's just kind of like entitlement in the same way that like JJ's like, oh yeah, I'm going out tonight. Bye.
He doesn't even think to tell me. He's just like, yeah, I'm going to do this before work. I don't have to ask. This is just what I'm going to do. I'm going to do this before work because there's nothing else you have to do before work. And he's horrible at communicating. I don't think it's intentional. He's just like, Garrett would be like dead silent all day if I didn't like coerce him to speak. You know, he's very internal. So that's like, I just find things out in snippets. Like, oh, cool. Right, right. Wow. But he does great. He fucking takes care of himself real good, guys. Oh, gosh. Okay. Sorry. My fingers are slippery tonight. Okay. Serious. All right, guys. Nailing it and failing it.
Let's see. Okay, I got one. Guys, it just came out of my mouth. This nail really shocked me as well as my husband and my son. My son's behavior has been nasty. He's such a good little five-year-old boy, but...
He's just can be so disrespectful to us. So one morning recently, I just was shaking my head at him, like shaking my head in the kitchen. And I turned to Tim and I said, I think we have to have that talk about that thing. And Augie was like, what thing, what thing? And I let it leak that there is something called manners camp. And it's right in the middle of the summer. There's only one slot for it. It happens to be when his cousins are coming from Hawaii. So it would overlap with that trip. He said, there is no manners camp. I said, there absolutely is. Uncle Garrett went to it when he was a little.
Molly, when I tell my friends that I do this shit, they're like, you are fucked up. This is exactly like a checkmark challenge. This is a checkmark challenge 2.0. Which I still use, by the way. Checkmark challenge is alive and well in my house. Goldie is even on it. So anyway, he's been walking the line. Now I just also taught him sign language for MC. And I just flash him MC with my hands. And he has whimpered about it with some tears. Like, oh my God. Did you sign me up? Did you enroll me yet? Did you enroll me yet?
I told him that I have talked to the counselor and they have a spot. We did and I have to talk about it. You're like, no. He asked details, like, where's the setting? And I said, it is in a classroom, but there is no recess. It's not a punishment. It's not a punishment. It's because we are concerned that you did not learn Respect and Manners the first time around since we've been teaching it since you were a baby. So, I'm going to get a nail. Fuck it. Tim is also on board. He's just, like, looking at me like a little unsure, but I've heard him use it twice. Yeah, buddy.
Oh, I do have a quick thought. I was getting ready and it just seemed like such a crazy morning and trying to get everybody settled. And I was throwing my makeup on and getting dressed. Tim had already left the house and Augie is at the table whining for more sliced bananas in his oatmeal. Goldie strapped in.
I finally said, August, go get your, I'm yelling in from the bathroom, go get yourself a banana, open the door, get yourself a butter knife, and I'm going to allow you to cut it. I think you can handle this. And he was like, okay, mama, okay. I could just hear him like getting it. And then he said, Goldie wants to cut one too. And I said, that's fine. Because really, talk about this. I am all for like butter knives. I don't think a kid's going to hurt themselves, you know? So.
They were, you know, calling out, I'm doing it, mom. I'm doing it. I'm like, I'm so proud of you. Put my mascara on. I come out. He's got a fucking steak knife. Of course. Of course. 100%. Of course. My first question was, how does a five-year-old know what a butter knife is? That was my mistake. I thought for sure. And what I saw, they could have easily sliced their skin open. I was like, oh, butter knife steak. Oh, my God. I was like, okay, they know what a banana is. Do they know what a butter knife is? Oh, God. Okay.
My kids like to take butter knives outside and cut the grass. Like slice the blade of grass with the butter knives. Take your time. Good one, Molly. I have a pretty lame fail. I'm just going to highlight my lameness here. I was doing like a hair mask over the weekend that I made up of like honey and yogurt and apple cider vinegar. It was disgusting. Did you Google it?
No, you guys know how I, I try, I try to only wash my hair once a week, which is like, it's like a method of washing your hair. It's called low poo, which stands for low shampoo. Okay. Okay. So one of the things that you can do in the meantime, just to like keep your hair and your scalp healthy is to like.
you know, balance it out with some apple cider vinegar to kill any bacteria and, um, also helps move the, whatever. That's not the important part. I'm using the apple cider vinegar and the yogurt and you know, there's some odor to both of those things. And I had my hair up like in a high bun and I looked at Francis and she goes with the, with the most judgmental face and the most judgmental tone. What are you doing? Oh my God. I wish I could hear that. What are you doing?
And now ever since then, she's been calling the yogurt mommy's yogurt, even though I don't eat yogurt. She just is calling it mommy's yogurt. Anyway, it's not that exciting of a fail, but it's pretty embarrassing. Her first tune, she called your ass out. She called my ass out. You felt judged by your daughter. I really did. Your two-year-old judged you so hard. I have a fail. Okay. I went to the dump, the recycle shop today, dumped my trash, and then went over to see if there were any treasures. And there were a couple. And as I was there...
a guy pulled up with this really great futon in the back of his truck he was unloading it and I was like oh before you even put that on the sidewalk let me take a look it's like a rattan really cute great sides really great rattan sides like I could have made it really sweet and the mattress um was clean it had a cover just needed to be washed and I was like you know what I can totally use this it's a people can sleep on it my woofer cabin or guests can use this this is gonna be great so I asked the woman, how much for this? And she was like, eh, 10 bucks. So I'm like, great. Perfect. This is an epic condition. So we lift it up into the back of my truck. I get the mattress. I put it, shove it in the back seat. And I take it home. And it starts to rain in Hononau as I'm getting home. I'm like, ah, I got to get this thing home. And I'm going up the hill. And it starts really pouring. We're into rainy season. So I'm like, I really need to get this thing out of the back of the truck. Not the mattress. The mattress is good. So I'm stepping on the gas. And I get, ah.
I'm there, I get up, I pull into the driveway, and I'm like, okay, I gotta muscle this into the house, and I look in the back of the truck, and the futon's fucking nowhere to be found. No! Oh, fuck. Allie. I did manage to find it, not too far away, in the grass, completely, completely fucking torn apart. Besides, we're off, the whole thing is broken. I had to reload the futon into the back of the truck and go back to the dump, to this time, put it in the fucking dumpster, because it was no good.
at this point. And I gave them back the futon mattress. Oh, such a waste of time. It was one of those things that I was like, I don't have time for this at all today, but this is such a score that I'm going to be so psyched to have it. It's going to be such an asset to my cabin that I just wasted a bunch of time.
Okay, I have a fail. We were driving home the other day, chit-chatting, and Levi was like, Mom, can we go to California today? And I was like, no, babe, why not? I'm like, because we can't just buy a plane ticket right now and get on a plane. Why not? I'm like, because it's expensive, and, you know, X, Y, Z. He goes, well, Mom, I have an idea. We could just go outside, sell some drugs, get some money, and buy tickets. Oh, my God. Great idea. And Garrett, I were in the front seat, and I looked at Garrett, and he kept talking like he just glossed right over it. And then I just looked at Garrett and gave him an eye, and Garrett was like,
Levi, how are we going to get the money? And he goes, you know, we'll clean some houses and earn money. fucking no and we didn't say anything. He just glossed over it and we didn't say anything because we were really freaked out. Wow. What is Daniel Tiger's mom doing these days? I have no idea. Please help me. I have no idea. I'm sure he doesn't know what drugs are, right? I know. Of course not. But where did he do that? I don't know. He used it in the right context. I wish you would have asked him. He's so genius at that, though. He always gets shit in the right context. Yes, and then he glosses over, but we were both dead in our tracks. We didn't even know what to say and he kept talking. Then things got hectic and then four hours later I was like, did I dream it or did Levi say let's sell drugs?
And he's like, I'll be 100% of that. And I was like, oh, what the fuck? Oh, my God. And at the same token, you were like, brilliant. Let me know when you come up with the money. Brilliant. When's the first shipment? I saw today that Oklahoma City, or somewhere in Oklahoma, they're taking on the pharma business. Yeah, I heard that, too. Levi's so on trend. Go, Oklahoma. I'm so on trend. Yes. No nails over here that I know of, though. I have a really boring fail. Okay.
Um, Mavis lost a tooth last night and I went to go do my tooth fairy work and I realized I didn't have any cash. So I just took it right out of her sister's tooth fairy. Moving on. Oh, man. I kind of don't want it to be over, but it's over. Love you, girls. Love y'all. We're all just going to manners camp. I want to know who signs their kids up. Yeah, let me know. I'll let you know if the roster fills up. Okay. All right, guys. We'll see you next week. Thanks for listening. Take care. That's it for now. Check you guys next week for another nursing and cursing where we won't tell your husband that you accidentally let your kid eat a cat turd.
