Old, ADHD, anxiety ridden mom of a 10 year old and 2 year old just counting the minutes until nap... and then bedtime.
Hell hath no fury like a toddler who wants to wear THESE pants while shoving their legs into the sleeves of a shirt.

Scientists discovered a small 30 million-year-old praying mantis frozen within a pristine clear piece of amber from the Dominican Republic. It was discovered to have been from the Oligocene period, placing it anywhere from about 23 million to 33.9 million years old.

In general, toddlers suck. But there's nothing better than showing a tiny person the moon and then basking in their excitement.

"Egg? EGG! Sky EGG up! Look Momma! EGGG!""

Spent 20 minutes looking for a sweatshirt my kiddo wanted to wear to school today. I never found it.

At Sbux an hour later and there's a man wearing the same sweatshirt. Awkwardness commenced as he notices me staring at him while my brain tries to figure out how the shirt got here. #mombrain

Am older gentleman opened the door for my toddler at the library. I told her to say thank you.

She said, "Diiiieeee! Die!!!"

Gonna have to work on that one a bit... Thank God he laughed.

Gotta love a munching preying mantis. The tiny person who follows me everywhere was less than enamored..."No! Momma! Walk, walk!!!"

An Italian sub with pickles and onions smells so good. So why if that smell is emanating from someone sweaty, does it smell so bad?

So apparently, this exists

Turdle... The 10 year old version of me is delighted

My friendship style is basically "if you can't handle me at my seeing me less than once every 5 years you don't deserve me at my responding to texts more than once every 6 months."

*gazing lovingly at my husband as he wakes up
Don't say it! (Internal struggle)
But...It's true...
Don't say it! It's fucking creepy!
But...DON'T!!!
Gah!!!!

"I BET YOU HAVE A REALLY INTERESTING SKULL UNDER YOUR FACE!"

"I love you; you're cute," he responds.

Thank God I found the "one."

We're going to sleep when the question pops into my head...Don't, I tell myself. He's falling asleep; leave him be. But it feels urgent. I NEED to know. I start to panic. Don't do it. It's ok ... DON'T!!! "Sweetie?"
What's up,? Comes the muffled reply.
"Do you think it's fun to be a squirrel?"

Might just be obsessed with Sir Scuttles...He's about the size of a half dollar. I just had to get a morning glamour shot...😍

Sir Scuttles of the back porch appears to not have updated his web design skills since GeoCities.

Went outside and almost got a facehug from a new friend: Sir Scuttles

Toddler is proudly banging on her toy piano and caterwauling along o the...music. It is so joyful that even my headache doesn't mind. It goes to show that attitude and confidence are everything. #gomakesomenoise

While leaving Starbucks I saw someone walk out with a big, whipped cream topped frappuccino. I watched it fall and explode its frothy refreshment on the sidewalk. Stress overwhelmed me. I felt the pain...until I see them
at the counter ordering a new one. Then joy... Monday morning didn't win!

Two detours on the way to Monday morning school dropoff? Even my GPS could use some coffee and a motivational quote. #detourdetour #sendcaffeine #Mondaymotivation

The sky is full of stars,
even when they are unseen,
they need no witness
to shine, they simply
exist as the are, unhurried
and unbothered
by either world or sky—
this is your task now,
to be without apology,
to shine without
offering excuses
for your own light.

My toddler needs 5 binkies for bed--one for her mouth, one for each hand, and two reserves to be lined up neatly next to her head. It's like sleeping with a mini prepper! #survivalgear #bugoutbinkies #toddlerlogic

My 2 year old will refuse her lunch that includes cheese cut into little bunnies and a sandwich cut like a teddy bear but will gleefully steal a biscuit from the dog and munch on it like it's gourmet. #bentofail #toddlerlogic #5stardogtreat
