  • 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…

  • Give me two claps and a recruit

    I start tomorrow. A new job. A new office. A new step. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m anxious.

  • Voila

    Yesterday M started showing signs that he was getting sick. Cough. Mild fever. Runny nose. Lethargic. Crabby. After endless googling, I think it’s just a common cold.

    Baseball obsession

    As we were putting manny to bed tonight….. It’s always a little rough putting him to bed; he fights it. “Mom, one more story?” as he holds up 2 fingers. “Mom, more water peas?” “I have to poop” (which he actually pooped one time after he said this, so I automatically want to believe him…

  • 9/21

    9/21

    Today was a good day. I had an appointment to check in on my toe. They told me it’s going well, but they want to check again in 4-6 weeks. They told me to wear a hard sole shoe, but it “wasn’t covered” by insurance. So I opted not to because there’s no point in…

  • 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”…
