My first night solo parenting tonight.. followed by a full solo day and night tomorrow. Thank science for SSRIs!

P's first sensory bin! Table/bins from IKEA, eggs, bunnies, pompoms, and muffin tin from Michael's. #sensorybin #ikea #michaels #eastervibes #butnotreligiousvibes #boycottHobbyLobby

Yum, P's dinner concoction

P waved hello to the booger I had just sneezed onto my face

I'm a standard time girlie.

Totally outed myself as a smut (almost) only reader at work in front of SLPs I look up to. They then told me how reading smut makes them uncomfortable. Welp, there goes those potential friendships down the drain

Dealing with the weight gain from COVID then pregnancy then breastfeeding is wrecking me today. Some days are okay, and some days, like today, are not.

My old beanie baby collection from my childhood, with the storage hangar made by my mom. It's now up in my baby's room! #beaniebaby

Tell me about iiitttttt 😷

Oh no!! I hope you found some reprieve

Today I took a break during obedience class. My dog was acting odd, not taking treats and lagging a lot. I was getting frustrated. So I did something I've never done before, I took my dog and sat down. Lots of rubs and pats, and hopefully we make it back out before the end of class.

I am also a golf widow

I am a baseball card widow

This actually tastes like a chai latte. It's delicious! #cider

I love this tiny reading nook I put together for P. The morning sunlight is gorgeous and perfect for flipping through books by!

Our winter hobby at my mom's. I'm getting better! Apparently I'm a bad winner 😂😂😂

I've reached that point in dog ownership where they physically hurt my back during sleep, because they sleep on the bed, pressed up against me. And all I do is complain about it and never actually kick them off.

Brandon Sanderson novels give me life. Warbreaker has been so much fun and I can't wait to start Wind and Truth. Fantasy novels and video games are my escape during this fucking crazy time

I don't want to work tomorrow

We're worried that rfk is gonna fuck with vaccines 😬 so we wanted to see if we could expedite the vaccination process! So we could, technically, but getting the vaccines would be very hard. Crazy that even have to worry about it

Today I had to ask my pediatrician about how to get access to MMR vaccines early, due to the current state of affairs. P got the first one today, but the second one isn't available through the state until 4 years old. Even though you can get the second dose after 28 days. #parenting

Ugh I feel literally the exact same way. It's torture. And then I want pictures of me and P but also I never ever want to look at those pictures 😬

Me: *eating lunch quietly*
Toddler: *tears pieces of bread to put in cup of water*
Just a regular day

P has a back baby! #toddler #lovevery

Nothing hits quite like your kids first stomach bug 😬

What are the best movies to start watching with a toddler?
#movie #movierecommendations

I love Elijah wood #yellowjackets

We're also entering the era of "no, I wanna do it myself" which is exciting, entertaining, humiliating, disgusting, and scary. Like insisting on feeding herself with an adult fork at a restaurant. Or worse, feeding ME with an adult fork at a restaurant. #parenting #toddlerhood

P fed me French fries and soggy bread at a restaurant tonight. So cute! Even when she scooped up fry sauce with her bare hands

We got P toddler crayons and of course, we had to do the cool S.
