I love being a parent but I would just like, a day where no one screams or throws things or tells me I'm the worst. I think I'd even take just six hours without a meltdown.

Going through photos and asking myself if I'm a good mom, then see where I had a 102° fever with the flu and still let Lily paint and yeah you know what, I do a pretty good job.

The 12 month sleep regression isn't quite killing me, but if I could stop averaging 5 hours of sleep a night, that'd be great.

Woke up at 3:45am because of the baby, didn't go to sleep until 9:40pm because of the toddler, then only slept an hour before the baby woke up. Everything hurts and I'm dying.

First time completely kid free since Wednesday night and what do I do? Take a shower and do chores. One day I'll be able to read a book at home 🫠

Being sick as a mom is the worst because I yelled at Lily for something she couldn't help and now I will remember that forever, while also feeling like I'm dying.

In a different world, instead of watching Daniel Tiger while sick with the flu, I'm watching Wicked snuggled in bed while sick with the flu.

Listening to my coworkers talk about everything they did over christmas break is a fun reminder that I literally did not finish a single book and only finished one non-kid movie over 12 days 😐

My deepest apologies to all the mom influencers who I've called liars about getting up before your kids, it turns out you just don't go back to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Lily knows Hot to Go and I'm so proud but also wondering how she hasn't picked up on my emo band lyrics as well.
