I think we adopted a small version of Radar…

Happy birthday, @nvincblesummer.bsky.social ! I can’t wait to celebrate a piece of your day with you!

Congrats, @gallego.senate.gov, on that beautiful baby. How about you remember to make sure he has a country to live in when he gets older. My kid would love that too, and so far we’re not seeing what we voted for when we cast for you.

@pantalonesfuego.bsky.social does the tooth fairy still have a text line? My kid’s about to lose a tooth and I’m trying to convince him she doesn’t leave $ for dirty teeth…

Probably the day when my TMJ decides to crank it from 2-10000 is not the day I should have eaten multiple salads.

I just finished this book and man, I wish it had gone on forever. Lightly spooky, found family, problem solving and joy even in hard times.

Ninety minutes into a fit about boots this morning it comes to light that the reason he’s so adamant is that his dad told him he had to wear them to ride the neighbor kid’s dirt bike. It is now 6:48 am. The zipper on the boots is broken and there is no dirt bike in sight. So tired.

My therapist told me that putting my feet up would allow my nervous system to relax during the many hours of hanging out in the driveway while my kid roams the neighborhood. She’s a smart lady. I feel like I’m on vacation.

I am so grateful to have my parents here and everything, but tonight I arranged a night out for them and when they got back my mom unloaded a list of things I had (allegedly) previously said that had hurt her feelings. Before I was married. The first time. Which was 1998.

Six years ago today a bunch of women I’d never met (still haven’t, most of them) kept me from losing my mind overnight while I sat in the hallway outside of labor and delivery in Honolulu. I think without you all I would have anxiety-chewed off my fingertips. I still can’t believe he’s ours.

I popped over here to be excited about the weird and wonderful texture of freeze dried skittles and left with the impetus to download the Libby app and get some books, like @mariawrites.bsky.social ‘s. (There was a waiting list, btw!)

I live by an Air Force base, and I gotta say that I deeply enjoyed a four year break from tensing up and wondering who TFG was starting a war with THIS TIME anytime the jets fly by in a group.

Yesterday @nvincblesummer.bsky.social sent me some money because she’s ridiculous, and I told her I was going to put it in the share the fair fund at my kid’s Title I school for the book fair that started today. And then she turned right around and sent me 3x what she had originally sent.

I just ordered pizza for the mess of neighborhood boys who have been playing together all morning. This is the kind of mom I always wanted to be.

My kid picked up another kid’s bike tonight, forgot he didn’t know how to ride without training wheels, and took the fuck off down the street on it. I am damn delighted.

I got a truly ridiculous Rakuten check today and I am so sad that Jenny isn’t here so I could tell her. She was the first person to tip me off.

Everything is a dumpster fire but I made potato soup in the crockpot for dinner and before I whirred it up I dumped the last of the dill dip from the superbowl into the pot, and that was a good choice.

A boss I dearly miss wrote me an unprompted LinkedIn recommendation that was so glowing and kind that I burst into tears at my desk.

Holy god Jack Daniel’s. I have never thrown up so much. I woke up in someone’s yard, trying to do my brother’s paper route for him. It was raining in my mouth.
What alcohol 🥃 messed you up SO bad you swore you would NEVER drink it again😵🤢

Evidence that we occasionally get to leave the house together!

In another kick to the face for today, I just filled out a request to rehome our stupid adorable dog. He bit our kid’s best friend today, for the crime of coming into our house. My son is never going to forgive me but I have to keep kids safe. He’ll be a great dog for someone without little kids.

I let Spencer watch something mindless on YouTube that used to turn him into a zombie and then an angry angry boy when it was time to turn it off, thinking, it’s been two years, I’m sure it’s fine now, right?

Anyone with children knows the enormous mistake this was.

I admitted to myself that I am unlikely to have time or energy to make soup later this week so I prepped all the ingredients today. I can dump the cooked mirepoix, beans, stock, and bacon together into the crockpot while I’m waiting for coffee to brew. (Now let’s hope I remember to turn it on.)

The three stages of a babyfoot peel: days 1-6, forget you did it. Day 7, think “hmm that peel must have been a dud!” Day 8-14: what the hell is happening to my feet?
