Barista: “what’s your name?”
Me: KIRA
Barista scans Starbucks app: name comes up “Ciara”
Barista: oh shit, I put KIRA, I didn’t know it was Clara. I’m sorry Clara
Me: oh it’s okay - I’ll know it’s mine

This happened to me last year when we were having our new couch delivered. Answered the door and the delivery guys go “is your mom here?”
I was also pregnant at the time so apparently not only did I not look old enough to be home alone, I also did not look like a mom myself 🤦🏼♀️
Murphy can open doors with his nose and every single time I am trying to put the baby down for a nap he thumps his way up the stairs and stands outside her bedroom door sniffing to see if I’m in there and I can see his shadow and I 100% feel like I am in some sort of horror movie
Ummm excuse me, no one told me that watching your child grow and develop will simultaneously fill you with indescribable pride and absolutely shayter your heart
I was also holding my 3-month-old daughter at this same mass, so maybe I should’ve felt old because of that. Ya know, a married mother of an infant with a mortgage and a dog. But no, hearing the high schoolers were in first grade when I was their age is what really did me in.
I went to a high school baccalaureate mass this morning for my SIL. The student giving the speech spoke about Christmas Day 2011, when she was gifted a digital camera. She said it was “the best gift for a 6 year old” SIX YEARS OLD IN 2011??!
I was in high school in 2011…
It’s amazing what comes back to you from your childhood once you’re a parent.
I haven’t heard “the farmer in the dell” since I was probably 7.
Yet I was just somehow able to spout off 5 verses of it and I’m pretty sure they were mostly correct.
Where the heck was that stored?
Murph was laying on our couch this evening with his tennis ball. Every time I walked back into the living room he had added another tennis ball to the couch. Ended the night with three tennis balls, an antler, and a rubber chew toy all up there, looking like the proudest dood
Because I am a ✨rule follower to my core✨ I missed out on a rare opportunity today.
They poured new sidewalks in front of our house. And I did NOT go write Rosie’s initials in the wet cement.
She can send me her therapy bill when she unpacks the trauma of this as an adult.
One time I pointed out that my friend got a Barbie from the tooth fairy but we only got $1 bills and my mom said that my friend had a different tooth fairy because she lived in a different school district and tooth fairies were assigned by the district you lived in / bus you rode
I love our old home and it’s original hardwood floors.
Except when I am tiptoeing trying to get ready for bed and the baby is already fast asleep in her bassinet in our room. That is when it is very apparent there isn’t a single floorboard that doesn’t creak at least a little
@EndOfDaysWoman We bought our house when I was pregnant and for months I would smell different smells and insist various things needed cleaned again (we had the air ducts done before we moved in and I swore they still stunk, etc). I’m now 11 weeks postpartum and don’t smell any of it anymore 🤷🏼♀️
I havent highlighted my hair since early October 2020. I had a couple of pretty big haircuts since then and have been letting my natural brown hair color grow out.
Imagine my surprise when Christian took a pic of me today and my hair looks like it’s full of blonde highlights…
@EndOfDaysWoman Rosie has multiple dresses (aka 2 backups in case she spits up on her dress before mass). She also had new Easter jammies to wear tonight.
I ventured into our guest room closet about 2 hours ago to see if there is anything stored away that I can wear tomorrow that isn’t leggings
In what can only be correctly identified as karma, my child both hates going to sleep at a reasonable hour at night AND is not a morning person.
She couldn’t have gotten at least ONE of Christian’s good sleep habits???
A 9 year-old girl lost her life trying to pull the fire alarm to warn other students in a mass shooting. Yet, a congressmen from her state the very next day said ‘there’s nothing you can do’ and basically said that’s why he home schools his kids. The 9 year old had more bravery.
