i wrote about my jeep
Substack quote that says “It makes me want to claw my way through my own womb to a timeline where I don’t have to constantly balance the choice between the love of my life and a piece of me living outside of myself.”

“Hazel” is a very happy girl, but sometimes she’s not! I wrote about how we’re dealing with those moments. Sometimes during hard times when I take a breath she says “no mommy! no breathe!” open.substack.com/pub/amberrol...

here’s a bit of the new piece i wrote on why i’ll never have a spotless stove. if you want to read the rest it’s at the link in my bio for free!
my toddler trying her best to crawl into the bottom of a cat tree SCREENSHOT OF TEXT Type B Care My friend claims she has OCD, I'm not a doctor, I don't know if she actually does, but I understand she means that she is exceptionally tidy and organized. To me, it can sound like a brag. If I wasn't taking my husband to 10,000 appointments, then I would also have everything labeled. If I didn't have a toddler who wouldn't let me set her down for a minute, I could get my toe nails done every two weeks too. But would I really? I think back to when I was single with disposable income, I never labeled shit. I think my husband in his wheelchair pushing our daughter on the swing at the park SCREENSHOT OF TEXT ORGANIZING SAVES TIME IN THE LONG RUN!!! I totally get that, and the parts of my life that are organized feel really nice and add ease to my life. I'll keep trying to get a bit more organized but it's not going to be all at once. Maybe if I started this process when I was a child I'd be further along, but even as a child, I had life to live. Spending time with my mom who was terminally ill was more important than organizing my homework folder. Part of me is bitter and resentful, maybe that's coming across. But another part of me is grateful, I may not have learned how to organize my life, but I learned how to live it. I learned how to soak it up while I'm here, because I learned early, we're not here forever.

I’m going to start publishing the pieces I’m a little shy about for paid subscribers. Welcome to the hole in the wall where you can see it all ❤️

This one is about how sometimes you can serve and be served at the same time.

I’ll still publish public ones too!

an image of my toddler daughter accidentally matching a traffic cone in the park. title text on top of the image says “Response-ability” then below a preview of the piece says “I just saw a man on an electric wheelchair trying to get past the long line of self-involved patrons outside Maru Coffee in Los Feliz (the Cream Top is delicious, by the way). I waited…”

I was looking for pics of @cushbomb.bsky.social to post for valentine’s day & now I just keep rewatching this video. This is kinda what our lives feel like right now, a little uncomfortable to have the universe’s foot in your eye, but our life is so full of joy. I love you, Matt!

besides the baby and matt’s stroke, the other equally important news in my life is that i started a substack. i just posted my second piece. it’s very personal and you probably shouldn’t read while eating.

one nice thing about matt needing my help to get around is he’s never alone with a peach
momlife comic. two panels. the panel on the left has a drawing of a mom looking at a peach thinking “oh look, the last ripe peach! i’ll save it for the kids, they love peaches so much.” the panel on the right has a dad looking at the same peach thinking “Oh look, the last ripe peach! i’ll use it as a special treat in my daily smoothie.”

my landlord texted me complaining about a homeless person in our neighborhood. who’s gonna tell him?
screenshot of text between me and my landlord. landlord: we replaced the wheels on the bottom of the gate so hopefully it rolls easier and smoother now me: I saw, thank you so much! Also saw you replaced the 1s on our address! Don't know what weirdos wanted to take those but happy to have them back. landlord: You did notice that. Great. It is hard to find hold Numbers. Next time they get stole. Will have to replace them all me: That's very annoying. I didn't want to bother you with it but yeah foot traffic from around the bars can be heavy on the weekends, someone must've taken a liking to them. landlord: Oh some homeless person stole them Yesterday while I was working on the ones some crazy guy was yelling from across the street. 🙄

setting some boundaries with matt
text message screenshot that says “Plain and simple: If you need: - Podcasting with your boys - Dudes rocking - To post pics of yourself soyfacing l am not the right partner for you. If these things bring you to a place of happiness I support it and there will be no hard feelings. These are my boundaries for romantic partnership.” text message screenshot “Stop live streaming yourself talking sexy like about history. Sort of done explaining myself.”

like most men
screenshot from a book, text reads “He had reached the gravel drive that curved in front of the castle and was continuing down to the stables when he spotted a carriage coming toward him. And a fine carriage it was, too black and shiny with a crest on the door and four high-stepping grays pulling it. Like most men, Jamie had a keen eye for horseflesh, and he stopped to watch the horses as the carriage rolled to a halt.”
