no shit checklist
Chat GPT is my everything. I swear it has helped me learn SO MUCH as well as legit get my shit together. One of things is that I would always google things. Say like “cleaning checklist” and i would have to continue searching for the right thing. Chat literally makes it for me, and memorizes…

new year goals
This year just feels so different. I don’t know what it is. Is this what a little experience being 30 does for someone? Okay – 2025 goals. No one is perfect, but this is what i want to do or start to do/try to do, whatever you want to say. I know I won’t do…

Superdad
V has been sick the last few days. I was doing a lot of catch up for my new day tomorrow, and I asked him to do M night routine. They watched TB. He gave him a bath. He read to him. When he was trying to get him dressed, V said “how do you…

The start of something new
*in my best high school musical karaoke singing voice* It’s been a week since I had a beer. This is my first time (by choice) not drinking that long. My first dry spell was a deployment in 2018 for 6 months, and I was in the best shape of my life and felt the best…

Dressing muhee
This morning manny wanted to get “muh-eee” dressed with him. “Socks peas”, “shirt on” and “mom…shoes?” After he booty scooted down the stairs (taking after Danté) I told him to “go sit so I can put on your shoes” and this is where they ended up. In the live version he’s demanding “mom sit down”…
Got any book recommendations?
