So! many!!! And honestly I saw so few repeats.

Oh em gee congratulations!!!

Sometimes I have to remember that whatever ideas I have for *how* I have to show up are likely less important to any of the folks involved than the critical act of *actually* showing up even though it feels hard.

oh my gosh, best good girl! She's so precious.

anyway. things are hard and awful and beautiful and being human is a hell of a thing.

I have to wait 6 months to see the neurologist, but my kids come back from their grandparents house and they smell like dirt and chlorine and sunscreen and sweat, and it's like inhaling summer each time they snuggle me.

Our king size mattress died and so we had to swap it for a spare queen we had in one of the attic guest rooms and it is a lot smaller but it means when I am fundamentally exhausted at the end of the day I can feel the weight of my partner next to me in bed and hear him breathing.

I am anxious and a mess and struggling? And also there has been the kind of breeze this week that makes summer in Ohio so lovely. Last week, I got to be with friends at the beach and watch a new generation of friends form amongst our kids.

We got fresh peaches in our market share last week and I bit one and the juice literally ran down my chin into the sink and the whole stupid world is on FIRE and also oh my god I am alive right now and eating this peach !!!

this sounds so good!!

Oh, love this one!!
