It’s been really fun reading Wild Robot to Oscar. There are so many more words for him to experience. The chapters are short enough for him to follow along. It’s been pretty cool.

I get to stop being mad at my youngest for waking up early in the mornings (5 am) because Sunday is daylight savings. So 5 am becomes the acceptable 6 am.

Feeling good. I was able to get dinner made and dishes mostly cleaned before husband and toddler got home. Also living room picked up. Definitely, mini celebration tonight.

Well Bluesky was down the whole day for me.

The new season of Paradise episode 4 made me cry so hard. Ugh, it was brutal.

Whoops, forgot to tell my husband, we are at war with Iran and we are the baddies. USA?

Giving away a lot of baby items again to a friend. Memories just flooding back about items. But I am happy they are being used still.

Ugh, I have to renew my passport so I can vote this fall. Yes, I know the Save Act isn’t law yet, but I want to be prepared.

Ugh, winter dinner fatigue. Nothing sounds good but I still have to cook something.

Tai Chi day 3 done. Getting better at slowing down my breath.

Want to help people with Rent in MN? Want to possibly win the best prize ever?

Needed something silly. Listening to music.apple.com/us/album/bri...

Day two of Tai Chi done. I’m realizing I need to slow my breath down. I run around so much that I forget to slow down.

@governorwalz.mn.gov seems like something you could help with.

Starting Tai Chi to figure out how to exercise and stretch again. I thought this would be good for my anxiety as well because lots of intentional breathing. Day 1 done.

Mondays suck for everyone. I’m trying to be better about making it fun for Oscar, 3 yr old. Today was a good day. No tears, lots of transition reminders, and lots of giggles. Almost made up for my lack of sleep.

One thing I love doing is making Mac and cheese from scratch. It’s fun and easy. Just takes a little undivided attention for no lumps.

Well, we were up most of the night last night because of the live action Jungle Book. But lo and behold Oscar wants to watch it again this morning despite what conspired in his dreams.

Jason Segel makes me happy. He’s a muppet in human form. Plus Shrinking is awesome.

Both my boys slept through the night. So we slept through the night. I feel so much better today. Sleep deprivation is crazy.

Snow is here again, ugh.

Not me crying at the last episode of Schitt’s Creek.

I feel so bad for Russell. Double ear infection. He couldn’t sleep last night and woke up at 2:45. Only could sleep while we co-slept in the sitting position so he would have less pressure on his ears. Thankfully, he did sleep after that, but I am not a functioning human today.

I think I will have this cold forever. There is never enough time to rest. I’m just so tired of coughing and sneezing.

The Save Act passed. Good luck voting married ladies with changed last names.

Uffda I am so touched out today. My skin is crawling.

When Ms. Rachel is only one to calm the beast of the no 2nd nap toddler.

Ok! Today is Valentine’s Day sugar cookie and decorating day! I can do it!

Something simple to do for Valentines Day!

Crossing fingers, but I think today is the last day for this weird sinus and stomach flu for my kids. Russ is finally not clinging to me and is smiling and playing.

@governorwalz.mn.gov maybe our government should do something to help. These issues are not going to go away with ICE still here and our police department playing patty cake with them. People are getting hurt.

Ugh, Monday has started ROUGH! Oscar was his normal Monday self with not wanting to get ready for school. But the cherry on top was Russell throwing up. So my husband had to take Oscar to school. So everyone is upset. Yay, Monday.

Did I miss the Epstein Victims commercial?

Darn, I wanted only field goal kicks. *not a serious football fan*

Hey All- Please see below. Ashley is the creator of standwithminnesita.com Please help one of the volunteers for the website get a new computer. Every amount helps.

I might be seeing a little to much hope but Mamdani would be a great President. youtu.be/o_4O2eYZTcw?...

Watching The Muppets 2011

I love Schitts Creek.

Uffda, sick day for the Johnsons. Sore throat, coughing, and stuffy nose. Waiting for Oscar to wake up to see if we’re leaving the house today or not.

Today I am fucking furious! ICE was at my children’s daycare yesterday. ICE stalked & took a staff member from the parking lot as they were coming into work. Now, teachers & students fear coming to school & being taken. It shouldn’t be this way! @governorwalz.mn.gov we need to protect our people!

I’m really enjoying all the anti-ice songs. I found this gem of an Irish folk Punk song. I hope you enjoy. youtu.be/GpcKe8KIOe0?...

I’m just going to leave this here: www.gutenberg.org/files/26184/...

So proud of Oscar today. He had a dentist appointment and the technician was able to clean and floss his teeth this time!

Tomorrow is my youngest’s first day at daycare. I’m excited for him. It’s a weird feeling, because he is growing up so much right now.

Liam and his dad are finally home!
