Monday Night Notes & Numbat Design

Hello everyone - how are you all doing? Well hopefully. Been another long day here. Got up early to get Eli ready for school, got him breakfast, and then took him to school. After that, my husband and I had breakfast and watched a movie - actually we watched 2 movies on Hulu. Something about a stalker (forget the actual title) and then the Happy Face Killer. Later I did some online catch up and watched some YouTube before it was time to pick up Eli from school. Thankfully I can park on the side of the road again. Although it is a lot of walking for me, it is so much easier to leave after than fighting the other parents leaving the parking lot. Once I had picked up Eli, we went to my mom's for a couple hours. We had dinner and made brownies. Eli got to play a little bit on the Switch - he played Fortnite. Least it is a break from Minecraft, though he has that game too. Anyways, then we got home and Eli went to bed for the night. My husband and I watched another movie - Stalker in the Attic on Lifetime. Now, once again I am catching up online and watching some Youtube before heading to bed for the night. Before going to bed though, I wanted to share the next art I made for the A to Z animal challenge. Letter N was a bit tricky - not a lot of choices. I did look through the list of animals that started with N and found a numbat. Looked similarly to a squirrel/chipmunk I thought - so this is what I came up with. I hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think!

@just4him I guess there are always some good parts...but sometimes it is hard to recall them when the day is overweighed with bad stuff.

Actually I am also lost at thinking of animals with N. I could think of Nightingale, a bird. This is the first time I am hearing of Numbat. Well, that's a new thing to learn at myLot today. . Your post reminded me of the days when I picked my younger daughter on the way back from my work. There was always a struggle to find a parking spot. Thank God, I don't do that any more. I hardly take my car out these days.

@MommyOfEli2013 I know. Thank God that both my girls are grown up and I do not need to pick and drop them anywhere. I hardly take my car out these days. My workplace is within walking distance now and I take the afternoon sessions from my home.

I did try that kind of bird but it was not turning out how I wanted. So I did some research and found this animal. Guess that is just thing with picking up kids from school - always trouble getting out of the parking lot. If you are one of the first to leave it is no problem, but if you give it too long you end up waiting a long time! So on the side of the road, almost no waiting!
