Moments like this make we wish I had a ‘real’ job.

March 16, 2020
The downside of being the stay at home parent, and the ‘maintain the household’ parent, is that you don’t have any external form of validation. You don’t get a paycheque, you don’t get feedback from your boss, you don’t get the same feelings of being seen. For the most part this doesn’t bug me. M...

  • The next thing
    March 15, 2020
    Good grief who is writing these themes of the week. Heavy much? So kiddo’s birthday party got cancelled. I’m really sad but also ok with it. Just a lot of prep and love that went into it, but better to stay safe. We also had theatre tickets and those are cancelled. A few other things…

  • Anxiety, there you are
    March 11, 2020
    so it turns out my weird desire to pick at my cuticles is related to anxiety! WHO KNEW? (Note: everybody. Legit, it’s so obvious. Sigh) today has been an anxious day. I’m not even sure why? It was mostly chill, the kiddo ran around naked.. we ate ice cream and pizza.. played some video games…

    journal everyday! Or.. you know. Miss two? WHOOPS   Not much going on over here. I feel.. somewhat disjointed. My kiddo is going through some sort of growth spurt that involves her channeling a demon. It’s not the worst, but she’s very... crabby. It will pass, it always does.   Her birt...

  • And I feel fine
    March 7, 2020
    man. Costco was HILARIOUSLY strange. Just people on edge and more water bottles then I’ve ever seen in my life and people madly buying up toilet paper. Insanity! I did not buy toilet paper. Did buy water, since we’re having a party. But yeah. Why toilet paper? What a weird priority. Get a bidet! ...

  • There are no fairy tales in space
    March 6, 2020
    i was thinking today about books, and fantasy and sci fi.   Theres this episode of phineas and ferb (a kid’s show, but very sweet) where they go to a con and it’s divided down the middle with fantasy nerds on one side and sci fi nerds on the other. Ultimately they all learn to…

  • We like to party
    March 5, 2020
    quick poll: do I really NEED to serve salad? Or will a veggie tray suffice? We’re having a pie themed party for March 14 (pie day!) and I think I’m gonna make some veggie hand pies, and buy a meat pie, and have a variety of fruit pie. Plus a pizza, which is sort of…

    March 4, 2020
    couldnt sleep, even after morning sex (which usually does the trick) so I got up around 4am. Everybody was sleeping so I decided to dust off my yoga mat. Its been.. nearly 3 years? Good grief. I used to do my exercise really early, like 5:30. Then when the kiddo was born, that all went…

  • the eight of cups
    March 4, 2020
    Forgive me, this is an unsent letter from my heart and waxes poetic and rambling but I need it on the page away from my head.   I did something I haven’t done in years. I drew a card for you. The 8 of cups. I drew in a breath when I saw it, felt…

    I had a super productive day. Except that I just remembered the laundry is still in the dryer? WHOOPS. Oh well, not a big deal. It’s clean and it’s dry, so that’s a win. Heres a little vignette on what it’s like being a stay at home mom with a toddler: Me: *goes to the…
