After a talk with Tricia about the risks of getting pregnant while having an IUD and how I need to be monitored going forward, and a small procedure to remove said IUD, she leaves the room and I sigh looking at the notebook she left me.+

I’ve been poked and prodded and scanned all day and now I’m sitting in a hospital bed sulking because Tricia wants me to stay overnight to be monitored while we wait for yet another round of bloodwork. -four pregnancy tests so far. Three negative, one positive. So annoying.-

When Thanksgiving dinner is over, the teenage girls shoo me & Rosie away & half of them start cleaning up while the rest take the kids outside. I grab @marinodoctorrp.bsky.social's arm as the grown men & teenage boys start heading outside for their planned football game. "Come talk to me instead?"

Up and in the party barn’s kitchen, getting an early start to the day

I walked through the woods for a while, but now I'm in my kitchen, scrubbing the counters as a casserole cooks for dinner. -really shouldn't talk to anyone when your brain is fucked up, Matilda. You just end up upsetting people who care about you.-

I left Molly and Orchid in charge of lunch and I'm at the party barn setting up the buffet tables for tomorrow and making sure we have enough chairs and everything.

It's early when I walk into the living room and find the Christmas lights already on and a fire going in the fireplace. Quinn and Orrin are sitting on the couch while their sisters; Molly, Orchid and Maxie; are in the kitchen, coffee and breakfast already going.+

We've had dinner and cleaned up and the kids who are in the house are curled up in the family room watching a movie with popcorn. I'm curled up under a cozy blanket with hot chocolate at the firepit just outside the family room.

My current roleplay accounts...

When I woke up really early this morning, I saw that it was snowing outside, so I'm curled up in front of the fireplace in the living room with the main lights off and all the Christmas lights on the tree and garlands twinkling happily. I sip my hot chocolate as I look out at the snow.

The kids are in bed and asleep, so I leave my older boys in charge as I take Bear outside and start walking down one of the lit trails that cross the property

Spent the morning playing with the kids outside, now I'm in the kitchen, humming along to music as I make vegetable soup and crusty buns for lunch.

(Jane) After I pack for the trip, I go to the TV room and plop onto the couch between Danny and Lyle. I run my fingers through their hair. "You ready for the trip, sweethearts?" // @roman-parody.bsky.social

We did crafts all morning and then had a big, loud, messy lunch in the barn. Now my five year olds are napping while the triplets run around outside with Joey and the older boys. I collapse on the couch and look at the ceiling. -to nap or not to nap?-

Up and in the kitchen, sipping coffee as I make waffles, eggs, bacon, and multiple fruit toppings for the waffles.

I have lasagnas in the oven and salad is ready and in the fridge. Now I'm curled up in the living room in front of the fire, staring into the flames.

Breakfast is ready and waiting for the kids to get up and Bear and I leave the house, heading towards my favourite path in the woods to go for a walk.

We're finally at the property in Aspen and my kids and Emma have dispersed to unpack while I'm in the kitchen with Bear and Sonic, unpacking groceries and premade meals while one meal heats up in the oven and the dogs eat.

So bloody accurate.

Emma has been back to the house and picked up the teenage girls before leaving again to get the other girls she has to pick up. Allie & Jed will meet us at the airport. The older boys are driving together, so me & my littles pile into my van and head to @firecrackerparody.bsky.social's house

Emma and I got the van packed and she left to take everything to the airport. I'm in the kitchen, making breakfast, and I send a message to @roman-parody.bsky.social @jaceparody.bsky.social @countrycharming.bsky.social @marinodoctorrp.bsky.social +

The kids are in bed, so I’m in the living room with my babysitter for the night, Emma. We’re surrounded by totes and piles of things that need to be packed and I am carefully packing everything for our trip, labelling everything as I do

After spending some time at the shelter with Roman, I got an uber home. Now I'm sitting at the dining room table, making a list of what needs to be packed and where it's being unpacked in Aspen so everything will be completely organized for the trip.

My Monday was crazy, so I missed the whole MCM/MFM thing...so this is just an appreciation post for the men who put up with me. // @roman-parody.bsky.social @countrycharming.bsky.social @jaceparody.bsky.social @marinodoctorrp.bsky.social

After a long hospital visit, Dim said I have a fractured cheekbone and eye socket and a concussion. I’m currently curled up on the living room couch watching a movie while absentmindedly running my fingers through Jane’s hair since after staying awake with me all night she’s just fallen asleep.

Breakfast is ready and waiting for the kids to get up and I’m outside, curled up at the patio table, sipping hot chocolate and watching Bear run around the yard.

The littles are all asleep and so is Siobhan, so I grab a bottle of wine and a glass and go to my room. I change into comfy pyjamas and sit on my bed before getting my journal out and pouring myself a glass.

Breakfast is ready and in the warming drawer for the kids. I’m sitting at the counter eating oatmeal and sipping coffee as I make a grocery list.

When I get home from my day of paperwork, I kick off my boots and drop my jacket and purse in the entryway before dropping onto the couch on my back, letting my hand drop down beside me as Bear follows me in and lays on the floor.

I've been up for hours and breakfast is in the oven. I'm sitting at the kitchen counter, sipping coffee and making a list of everything I need to do today. I send Roman and Chai a message.+

Someone needs to stand up for the two Corness brothers off in the wilds of Ireland with their sister and not on bluesky, so for your viewing pleasure (?)... Thomas and Deacon.

Like we do every Veteran's Day, the kids, puppies, and I will be spending our day on the beach and curled up in the living room, watching old family videos. Then we'll be having a big dinner before a bonfire on the beach with Roman, Chai, their kids, and Neal // @roman-parody.bsky.social
