the fuck we do. we want ICE abolished

Me to S: okay time to get your butt changed!
S: toddles right past the changing pad on the floor and goes into the bathroom.

The kid might be ready for the super early intro to the potty chair.

I wasn't nervous about buying a house the first two times. But this time? Very nervous.
At least this time around we know what we are doing and we aren't just flailing about.

Diabetes sucks
Diabetes and being a woman really fucking sucks.
I'm on CD2 and these lows got *hands* ☹️

Oh and I also have to keep my little guy alive too. Juggling hunting down low candy while having a 16mo melting bc he needs a snack is not the motherhood I imagined!

Cleaning up the toys while the toddler plays with a "new" toy before he notices

Playing my favorite game

It's getting wild tonight! Might even go to bed early.

I think my favorite part of thrifting online for Christmas gifts is sending A the links to the most cringiest Christmas decor. 💀

Having weird feelings about buying secondhand things for people for Christmas this year even though most are new in box or like new.

I love thrifting, idk why doing it for Christmas gifts is giving me pause.

What if I started wearing giant bows and made it my personality? 😂

Can't sleep bc the toddler is *snoring* and it's too damn cute.

A, "man he's snoring like he's the one paying the bills."

Me, "trying not to lose it and wake S up."

Smart cookie

I am incredibly annoyed that I'm still in quite a bit of pain almost 2 weeks after surgery. Like, yeah, I expected to still be in some pain/discomfort but this is way more than I expected. This might be worse than my C-section recovery.

Well I went ahead and did the thing* that I'm assuming that home health wants me to do so I can just take a nap. Lol

*Check on my insurance status, which is in processing limbo and no one knows how long it'll take before I find out if Medicaid accepts me or not 🫠

Home health needs to hurry up and call back bc the pain meds are kicking in and I'm getting very sleepy.

And S will be home tomorrow!! Which I'm super excited to see his face and not excited that I can't hold him since I have a 10 pound weight limit. Which is reasonable! But I'm going to miss taking contact naps with him.

I was released Friday and have been doing really well with recovery at my mom's (thank God my dad thinks that deer hunting is way more important than being around acting like an ass while I'm healing). I will be returning home tomorrow assuming nothing crazy happens.

Yeet Gallbladder Surgery went really well! Since my gallbladder was angry AF I had the privilege of getting the Old Timey Special instead of laparoscopic, and I will have a gnarly scar that's about a foot long.

Happy Yeet Gallbladder Day!

*If your right shoulder/arm is acting up, it might be your gallbladder telling you that it's pissed off!!

I know! And yet, ahhhhhh!
But also
I'm so excited to finally get this part done. I want my right shoulder/upper arm* to feel better (and my whole body, but that's the one making life difficult right now)

Tbh, I'm mildly freaking out even though I know that everything will turn out fine!!

Happy Yeet Gallbladder Surgery Eve to all who celebrate.

Area Spouse has informed me that he has accidentally asked off for Monday and Tuesday instead of Tuesday and Wednesday (when I have surgery and in the hospital).

Oh noooo, we get to spend time together child* free. The horror!

*S will be at Camp Grandma's causing a ruckus while I'm in the hospital

Anyways, my emotional support cardigan looks Not Great, and I'm in need of new scrunchies, so I'm *hoping* I can convince The Spouse to gift* me one or both.

*Thrift (scrunchies will have to be nib/nwt)

Trying to convince The Spouse that he is legally required to give me the gallbladder equivalent of a Push Present. 😂

It was nice when Sesame Street added Julia, but it's nonsense to claim she was their first autistic character. You've got a guy who collects paperclips and another who has to count everything

I hope y'all are ready for me to live (tweet?) my post surgery hospital stay.

Assuming I don't nap the whole time between vital checks every 2ish hours and 4am lab draws *in the hand* 😭
