Just stood in the kitchen knowing I came there to do something but unable to focus to remember what I had wanted to do.

Take the medications that let me focus.

That’s what I needed to do.

Related: I’m posting this so that by the time I get to the kitchen I can look and remember what I’m doing.

18 hour day. Work again in 6 hours. Finally sat down for the first time after 14 hours. Have barely eaten anything. Finally close my eyes at midnight. 12:03 toddler starts crying in bed because new teeth suck. Ughh. Fingers crossed she is able to sleep and isn’t awake 2+ hours sobbing again tonight.

One of my best friends has a child (okay, an adult they birthed - I dunno how they’re almost 19) who is transitioning and while I understand the fear and hesitation to tell people…it’s so weird to me how terrified she is of telling her family who are very loving, open, accepting people.

How the hell did I manage to get into a relationship with someone who moves at a glacial pace.

I just don’t understand how he’s so painfully slow to do ANYTHING. And the slightest bit of rushing him when he’s ALREADY LATE is annoying AF.

Nothing like having a full out hysterical sobbing and crying meltdown to make you remember to order refills of your antidepressants.

My superpower is being able to cry in the presence of others without them having any idea.

I can have tears streaming down my face. Snot from my nose. Carrying on a normal convos bn silent sobs and as long as they aren’t looking directly at me they have no idea.

Long hair works well for this.

For weeks I have been complaining about being SO exhausted all day every day.

Last night realized one of the meds I’ve been on for pain that I’ve been considering stopping bc the pain is getting so much better causes drowsiness.

Didn’t take it this morning…and…not dragging my ass exhausted. 🤦‍♀️

How the hell do people I went to highschool with have kids in university, kids in their 20’s and/or are celebrating 20th wedding anniversaries?!

I’ll just be over here with my 1yo living in sin never having been married.

Two months ago my dad had to put his dog down. Last week my SIL’s dog kept having seizures and had to be put down. This week my moms cat (who use to be my cat and then she decided she loved my mom more) needs to be put down.

Enough already universe.

This poor guy still doesn’t have a name. Right now I’m tossing around Ollie, Finn and Theo. But I really have no idea.

Dog doesn’t have a name BUT does take himself for walks. My work here is done….?
August 23, 2023 at 5:29 PM
Well. I did something today. Soooo…this is a thing now. A thing that needs a name!

Hahahahssob.

Going to lose it today. My mom who was suppose to be baby sitting today didn’t make it here until almost lunchtime. I’ve been playing catch up all day. I’m so behind on everything. My mom who is here to help just woke up the sleeping toddler measuring the walls. Because of course. And still in pain.

Default parenting is the biggest issue that I feel is rarely talked about when you have a baby. It’s so huge and overwhelming and almost always dumped on to the mother and impacts so many things.

My dishwasher isn’t working.

The truest of true first world tragedies.

the one thing, above all, I’d suggest to the newskies:

be kind

block and mute the shitheads, don’t engage them if at all possible, and just… treat people with respect

we have a real chance to build a better culture, let’s take it

Watching ppl love my kid because she is part of me is one of the most special gifts I’ve ever had. It feels impossible to explain - but it just really is so magical to watch friends and family and their kids love my kid how I’ve loved their kids over the years. I don’t know why I didn’t expect it.

The men sitting beside me are talking about Europe as if they are experts of all things European. Except neither has realized that they’ve both 100% mixed up Bucharest and Budapest. And at least half a dozen other errors.

Some days I still cant believe she’s real. And that she’s mine.

Sometimes I look at my kid and think: holy hell she’s the most effing adorable kid on the face of the earth. And even though I know it’s entirely biology that has me biased - a large part of me really believes it must be true.

I think I just invited my parents to move in with us for the winter while they have an addition put on their house.

This just in: she has indeed lost her mind!

You may be exhausted and in pain if you have to get your partner to log into something on your phone but you have to mute all the texts in which you’re moaning about him driving you crazy first. Whoops.

There’s a couple sitting beside me and she’s wearing an engagement ring and he’s typing on his phone and all I can think is…who agrees to marry someone who has the keyboard noises enabled on their phone.
