A toddler in diapers cheering confidently on the stairs and a big pittie mix looking defeated sitting behind him

Inside you are two wolves

It’s very weird!

Okay it seems like the overriding sentiment is anti-Ashley so I’m not special. But I welcome any/all podcast links about the topic - this post brought to you by my new longer commute

I’m actually immediately not at all sympathetic to Ashley here so could maybe use a compassion check

Listen, I know I’m SO late to this but I’m just now getting into the Ashley Tisdale/Hilary Duff toxic mom group drama and now that I’ve finally read the cut article I need to know everything

Are you moving soon? Know anyone that is? Looking to get organized? I have a shit ton of boxes I can send your way soon

My whole kitchen is going to feel like a rearranged grocery store for the foreseeable future - moving is the gift that keeps on giving

Got one

Foreground is the back of a blockhead pittie with a view of a calico cat sitting on a mantel over a fireplace in the distance.

Hanging in the new basement with all the pets and no TV set up yet so Bex has opted to be our entertainment. Quiet evening resting. It’s really a form of co-regulation with the pets as they are all pretty freaked out except for when we are couch sitting. Rest is productive.

TGIB (thank god it’s bedtime)

W has been about as much of a trooper as one can reasonably expect from a 23 month old during a move but oh boy the disruption in routine has us with a much quicker to fuss toddler than we are accustomed to

I have Theo on hold with Libby!

Home is where your dogs are

Highly recommend Janette in the appliance section of the North Oak Lowe’s. She’ll sell you a couple refrigerators and let you sample her Aldi Dark Chocolate bar. 10/10 customer experience will go back

Bex, the cat my husband found in an apartment complex dumpster 6 years ago and who has in the last 18 months racked up over 2k in vet bills for working herself into a nausea tizzy on numerous occasions is not eating due to the stress of the move. Is this another $400 vet visit coming? Who is to say

Got all our shit out of the old place, then went out for 2 vodka drinks and closed down the Lowe’s. Happy Friday, homeowners.

Just finished one of those books that was so good I don’t know how to start another one. The Correspondent is worth all the hype it’s been getting. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

They may someday forgive us

Y’all - the cats have HAD IT. They’ve been contained in a single small room with no idea what the noise is about and they also have no clue they will be corralled into their carriers, driven half an hour, and let loose in a brand new to them basement.

At the “Fuck it, just put it in a box we’ll figure it out later!” Stage

intercom system and manual described in post

Hey everyone I just want to show you this amazing original 1988 intercom system that came with our new home. My favorite part is they left the owners’ manual which begins “welcome to the world of the microprocessor”

"This study shows that even the iconic T. rex was quite birdlike in the way that it walked," said Steve Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh who was not involved in the study. "It would have been something like an eight-ton chicken clucking about in the barnyard."

If dinosaurs have your household in a chokehold like mine (2.5 yr old son) this is BIG news

Baby monitor on night vision showing an adult woman curled up in a crib with a toddler

W’s last night in his first room. He asked for some extra mom cuddles so I obliged. Told you I can fit in his crib

Fun fact lol I work tomorrow. because of my role in our contract with the city it would have been a whole undertaking to take it off without being able to make it up in the same week.

Well we closed today and the movers come tomorrow and if today’s antics were any indication we are in for some real nonsense

@fattyscott.bsky.social custom made this amazing bar. The basement has hosted some incredible times. More to come in our new space but this is the penultimate night for us in this one

Two whiskey nose glasses with a sample of bourbon in them in front of the bottle of Garrison Brothers Texas Bourbon

Toasted to signing our selling docs on our first family home tonight

One thing I know is that you NEVER look or draw attention to your toddler if they are eating The Thing You Want Them To Eat

Your girl is already EMDR trained but gets to start the journey toward full EMDR certification today that is what’s up

Future Tripping is a rude call out to me, specifically
