The OT suggested I model emotional regulation for my ADHD oldest The youngest woke up 4 times before declaring herself awake at 5:45 AM. Today im just hoping for a level of regulation that won’t merit a CPS visit

I’m going to start working on an actual bingo card for 2026. Suggestions?

We are the timeline other timelines go “That’s too stupid and/or crazy to happen.”

1.75 is dragging an unsharpened pencil across the floor saying “Drawing.” Close enough

When you agree to take part in a book exchange on Bookstagram but nobody responds to your post ensuring you get nothing I should have known better than to try a Secret Santa thing. Those tend to go badly for me.

So how long until there are shirts with a version of his picture saying “Quiet piggy”?

Update: we had to quit by noon because she’s fussy and not napping and mommy is too sleep deprived. She’s talking to her toys about sitting on the potty so progress?

I saw the tumblr meme about Americans being fish out of water being overdone. Let’s make Europeans feel awkward in American instead. I now desperately want the series or memoir of a French Parisian visiting all the American towns named Paris

I was chatting with a mom at the grocery store. She also has ADHD kids and spouse and described herself as “My family’s prefrontal cortex.” I felt that in my soul

I’m not the least bit surprised

Why couldn’t the Gross Old Party get their act together enough to end the ‘spring forward, fall back’ fuckery? Nobody likes it This could be their ‘Even H!tler likes dogs’ thing. The one thing they did not totally screw up. (Tangerine Palpatine does not like dogs BTW)

I am not nearly as unhinged as I could be. I’ve seen at least 3 cars with bumper stickers that made me want to 🔪💨🛞 and I refrained

I’m overtired, underfed, half my mouth is numb from the dentist, and my toddler has stepped on my stomach and headbutted me in the face I don’t know if I’m gonna make it 2.5 more hours

Are the new Hoovervilles gonna be called Trump Towers?

I’m reading the new Dan Brown and I’ve talked so much 💩 in my notes and I’m not even 100 pages deep We’re gonna ignore the impact of the infertility virus in the previous book? We’re going with this version of dubious science? I’m tempted to DNF but it would be good for my HRCYED stats #booksky
