Ugh read a really distressing passage in a book and now I'm not sure what to do, don't want to keep reading but won't easily fall asleep

Do not come between a Nazgul and his play

BRB calling my state reps and senators

As the mom of a preschooler, this would be AMAZING

Oh, this? This is my emotional support peanut butter and Nutella on a spoon

My daughter (15 months) went to the kibble container, opened it, put kibble in the cup, walked around the table and tried to put them on clyde's plate. She missed the plate, but still. She's so stinking smart it's scary sometimes

I wish I could block that godforsaken image from appearing on my feed His skin looks like his voice sounds 😫

I'm looking for a new spring/fall coat to replace my old red and yellow floral one from target 20 years ago I found this one and it's exactly what I want but it's way out of my price range Where can I find a similar, less expensive, dupe?

Baby is advanced (Dr said she's like a 2 year old), son has bloodwork ordered, play therapist seems like a go (but it'll have to be every other week bc it's out of network and we poor) I also taught tonight I'm low-key staring at the wall right now trying to shut off my brain after such A Day

Me: why do I have a headache forming at 7pm?!?! This is weird Also me: *hasn't drank a single glass of water all day, only coffee and soda*

My daughter's checkup is at 9, and then I'm taking my son to be seen about his body pain/bloody noses at 11:30 Might as well move into the pediatricians office today

Today my daughter made me sing Mr Golden Sun over and over to her while she "danced" (she's 15 months old so it was mostly spinning and stomping) and I just don't really know how to handle such sweetness

Someone tell me why, when I'm buying clothes these days, my eyes are drawn to the granniest of floral patterns

For a few weeks my son has been periodically complaining that his legs/arms/knees hurt (at different times), on the inside/bone (ie not a scratch/on the skin) Coupled with a few bloody noses in the same timeframe I'm trying not to freak out too much, but given his history with blood disorders...

This was crucial in NJ 11 and honestly likely a huge reason mejia won (Malinowski blamed aipac attack ads but the fact remains his line was "defund ice" not "abolish ICE" and I'm certain that played no small part in his loss)

Been trying to get rid of some extra kid clothes and some of mine for weeks but there were no takers on buy nothing. I posted it on curb alert and they're all picked up or pending within 20 minutes 🤣

Any ped/regular dentists? My 15mo just got her 4th first molar within the last week & it somehow already looks decayed/rotten. It had a weird gum flap for a bit where it looked like a tooth was coming in but I couldn't see a tooth. Now the flap is gone, the tooth is thru but middle is black. Help?!

Am I PMSing or am I the worst mom on the planet

I'm surprised that everyone is shocked by Ricky Martin -- he's been making music and touring this whole time If you haven't listened to him since the La Vida Loca era I highly recommend you check out some of his more recent stuff. It's mostly in Spanish but that shouldn't stop you!

RICKYYYY

Story time: I spent the fall semester of my senior year of college as an exchange student in Ponce, Puerto Rico For my Cultura de PR class we had to do presentations on a style of music & by some horror my group was assigned reggaeton (which was still relatively new in '06, compared to, say, salsa)

I just don't understand why they even have a timer Standing around between traumatic brain injury ass sport

Where can I watch the halftime show if I don't have live TV

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

I asked my son if he wanted to go to a reptile show (he has a book about reptiles that he loves) and he said yes this morning so I bought a $20 ticket and now he doesn't want to go

I've already had my temple and my nose smashed by children and it's only 7:30 am

Are they just Not counting the votes Or WTF is the holdup here

No thank you

I moved my daughter's crib mattress to the floor of her brother's room. It's the first night I'm trying them together. Let's see how this goes

I can't speak to the Morris county Dems, but lemme tell you, the shock around Mejia's showing in Essex belies a deep misunderstanding of how pissed off even "normie lib" affluent suburban moms are right now

I went to bed thinking Mejia had lost but she's actually ahead?!? By only 500 votes?!?

Malinowski is in the lead and I'm pissed! He doesn't even live here!

Summoned for jury duty, time for the fun dance of "yes I'm both a stay at home Mom and a part time worker, please excuse me from this because there's no one else to take care of my kids" and hope they agree

Guys my son asked for a professional haircut instead of the bowl cut I've been giving him for years and I'm a little emotional about it 🥹 his hair is his calling card! He's been recognized in public by his hair alone!

Saw an article that all the progressives have rallied around Analilia Mejia and the establishment Dems are fractured amongst the other candidates, and I'm wondering if maybe that's what puts her over the top 🤞🏻 Fwiw my mom's chat is almost exclusively voting for her tomorrow (NJ 11 primary)

It makes me so sad to think of gentle, intelligent, emotional elephants being used for war 😢 (I feel the same way about horses and if I think about how many horses have died in battle it overwhelms me) (what flavor of mental illness is this, I wonder)

The only downside to living in New Jersey is having to wait for the gas station attendant if they're not present

Me just now, checking on the status of the oatmeal I'm cooking for the kids: Are we cooked? Are we cooked, fam?

If Warren is endorsing does that mean she has a shot?!?

I’m proud to have the support of a true champion for everyday people, Senator Elizabeth Warren! She and I both know the system is rigged against working people, and together in Congress, I’m ready to fight like hell to ensure we make real change for working people.

I'm so glad January is finally over. I'm looking forward to the shortest month of the year being only 375 days long.

Just ranted at @booker.senate.gov 's voicemail so long it cut me off You're next, @kim.senate.gov

I saw something about being in solidarity with the general strike by wearing certain colors but no indication what those colors were 😅 I'm staying home today (planned) and not buying anything but would like to do something else

Having a bit of an anxiety spike and I can't find any of my old meds Rawdogging life sucks

I just want someone to massage my feet and calves until I no longer feel them

Introducing my baby to the classics

I was feeling really down but then I stumbled upon one of those "breathe out all the air and then scream" videos and my mood is infinitely better

My son (almost 5) is obsessed with tornadoes He's begging me to watch Twister I'm not sure how bad an idea it is? He's watched YouTube videos of real tornadoes and isn't scared

It's a social media trend to talk about how mad you are about everything with a section of a song by Mumford and Sons that repeats the word rage and I just I think I must have a different definition of the word rage?
