I have had terrible sleep for three nights. Just the absolute worst.

This angel baby that I’m babysitting tonight just woke up and said “I wuv you, Ms Sewwa”

4yo kid we’re babysitting is currently feeding peanuts to Mr. Wamp

I practiced gentle parenting with my two youngest, and they are so very good with little kids now at 17 and 14. So patient and sweet. The older two are, too, but not exactly in the same way. And I did gentle parenting with them, but not until they were a little older. 6 & 8.

This is a real thing you can get on Temu 😳

I really, really like my daughter

I dreamed I was putting on makeup but the mascara brushes got progressively worse and the mascara was white

The vibes this year gave “waiting for the air puff test at the eye doctor’s office”

I fell asleep listening to Pet Sematary and had horrible dreams

He's making a list. He's checking it twice. He's throwing it away because he's sure he's retained it all this time. Wait, Now he's rifling through the trash because he just needs to double check real quick. Deep breath. Okay he’s fine now. He’s got it. Wait, now he's back at the trash can again and…

One year of Finch!

One sandwich isn’t enough but two are too many

When you spell Oreo wrong

My house is too cold when the heater is off and too warm when it’s on no matter what temp I set it on. Kinda same the other way round too in the summer.

I made a cookie butter cheesecake for my birthday and it’s blamazing!

I make my bed every day. Part of it is The Aesthetic™️ and the other part is to keep me from getting back in it.

Thought I was getting sick but I haven’t gotten any worse all evening 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loving God doesn't look like zealous devotion and loyalty, or flag-waving or saber rattling. It looks like seeking justice for the vulnerable and extending mercy to those who seek it, and crying out "Father, forgive them" even as they are killing you.

These cracked me up at Ren Faire

Happy birthday @joshuahake.bsky.social and @sarahliz2006.bsky.social !

Me, texting my daughter: Anything you want to talk about, A? A: Have you been watching dad chats again? IYKYK

I’ve been very happy and energetic for two days and I’m hoping it’s because we finally found the really really right dose for my anxiety meds.

My best friend’s ex died by suicide yesterday. So bizarre that the same thing happened to me a month and a half ago.

my daughter said “it looks like trump!”

It’s that time of day in Alabama when we turn the heater off and the air conditioner on

Happy birthday @sarahecozart.bsky.social

The Arcadian Wild

4yo I’m babysitting just asked me if I swept the floor. If it was so bad before that a baby can tell…

Thought I was cooking our dinner for the past half hour or so but the dang oven was off so now it’ll be ANOTHER half hour until it’s ready

I just went to my friend’s house unannounced and my Gen Z daughter was VERY concerned we shouldn’t do that. (It was completely fine. I surprised her with Little Debbie Christmas trees)

Is this… is this my name??

Benefit of aging: I don’t have hair on my thighs anymore. Or maybe a little but it’s just light and soft so I don’t bother shaving.

They’re frickin holding hands

Yes, Milo, I put this here just for you

Somebody ate the little bit of cat food I put out yesterday to lure the tuxedo kitty to my porch. It might have been a raccoon or an opossum but I hope it was the tuxedo and that she wants to live with me.

The thing I hate about cleaning is it looks way worse before it looks better. Today is “demolition of the armoire” day

I tried to go to the memorial for my friend who died a month ago but there was no parking so I came home. I didn’t think I’d know anyone very well anyway so it wasn’t much of a loss.

The little girl we’re babysitting was cold and I don’t have any little kids anymore so she has on one of my big boy’s coats

Wait Eli Wallach just said cicada like “chick-ay-duh” in this book he’s narrating.

I did this painting for a friend

3yo I’m babysitting: Old McDonald had a farm and Bingo was his name-o

I’ve been listening to a book read by Eli Wallach for four days, and I’m now thinking in a New York accent

My anxiety: People don’t really like you they’re just too nice to tell you Me: Yes, yes, that tracks, and surely I am the only person to have this experience

Deductibles are stupid and I hate em

I’ve had to make so many plans lately with lots of different people and groups of people how do y’all do this all the time I’m losing my mind

Sorry I’m being quiet I’ve just been going through some stuff since I was like 9

What do you mean my hands are dry? I put lotion on them last week!
