Singing killed my grandma•(she/her)•🩷💜💙
My 3yo is in a dance class and it’s my favorite thing ever because now when she’s sad and crying on the floor because her sister looked at her funny, she turns to me and, still crying, asks, “Momma, can I break it down solo?”

And then gets up to dance.

I read 81 books last year.

This year, I read 8. Might finish a 9th by the end of the year.

What will next year bring? The world may never know!

So much of single motherhood (and other motherhood, just where I’m at rn) feels like I’m Sisyphus and I am so tired.

Working for lawyers really comes in handy when you’re not-quite-ex-husband gets in a life threatening car accident and nobody will update you even though you’re still legally his wife and next of kin ✌🏼✌🏼

I’m regrettably not the eccentric yet mysterious caretaker of an abandoned castle on the Irish coast, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well”.

Parenting is buying 6 yogurts and watching them all get eaten In one day.

Then buying 12 yogurts and watching them expire because, “Nobody likes yogurt.”

Good news: men like Rabbi Noah who can care about someone enough to get them through the emotionally anxious freak out *do* exist.
Anyway, so what if *I’m* the emotionally unavailable one after all?

Yesterday, the new attorney in the office came to work with active Covid, no mask, talking to everyone.

I might cry we JUST got over flu/ear infection sickness pre-Thanksgiving in my house too!

I asked if the girls were getting jammies on and my 6yo yelled back “I already have my jammies on! I’m just at the poop factory!”

I’m reading Dinner For Vampires right now & reading about her knowing her marriage was toxic right away and sticking it out for 7 years & finally leaving for her daughter is truly wild as someone who knew her marriage was toxic right away, stayed for 7 years, and then left for her daughters.

I am the only one left at work for the day but am not allowed to leave for another 45 minutes but have nothing to do since my entire job is assisting the people who aren’t here.

FaceTimed with my 3yo niece today and she turned to my mom and asked, “Why does she have a circle in her nose?”
