Jumped over to BlueSky with the same username - so if you’re around there and want to keep in touch - look me up - I’m so scared of this site completely collapsing before long 💔

@Bitter_Optimist Hugs. Family can be so exhausting and hard some days.

@clhubes My 2yo just started to hit when she’s frustrated..using “gentle hands please” “remember, we don’t hurt” and “mommy doesn’t hit, daddy doesn’t hit…you don’t hit - ouch!” So anyway now when she wants to hit something instead she yells OUCH MOMMY HITS. Great fun in public. 🤦‍♀️

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@SoCity_girl Thanks - I do too. Filling it up with the books that are over flowing from her other bookshelf today and it was so fun to hang out with her in there last night before bed just reading and singing! Think it healed my inner child a bit…? Ha!

My 2yo’s bedroom is what was my childhood bedroom. I always wanted the alcove in there to be a perfect little reading nook and it just never happened. I’m not sure if this was for her or for me - but my soul feels happy.

Two years ago right now I was in labour, almost about to give birth. Granted I didn’t know it would be rushing to have an emergC only to suddenly give birth in the OR and have her whisked to the NICU for the next 5 days. It’s been a wild two years but I’m so lucky to be her mom.

@kirstin_g I’m so sorry you’re still dealing with this crap - my heart hurts for you guys.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

This is the first time in my life that I can ever remember feeling like I’m going to be capable to clean and organize and purge my belongings on a large scale. I’m actually excited for this winter and have this plan that feels attainable. I’m so very hopeful. Thanks medication.

@MsYouDoYou just have been over here creeping you every now and then…hoping you’re doing okay

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

My body decided to wake up at 3:30 and my brain couldn’t go back to sleep so now it’s almost 9am and my brain and my body are ready for a nap but I have hundreds of 4 year olds about to show up to visit the pumpkin patch. In hopefully only overcast skies and not pouring rain.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@kirstin_g I know you’ve done this experiment for me but part of me really wants to laminate playdoh now.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@Bitter_Optimist Wtfffff

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@clhubes Yep. My daughter goes out to our haunted graveyard and takes the creepy little dolls who are missing an eye or covered in blood or or….and cuddles them.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@emilykmay This makes me feel better. Two (unopened) pkgs from sometime last week, a bed frame and a tote of winter stuff I pulled when it suddenly got cold. My weeks revolve around trying to clean up kitchen/play room/dining room/bathroom/front hall - and there’s so much more house. Sigh.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@Bitter_Optimist How the hell does he manage to make everyone else’s tragedies about him - yet try to spin it at the last second that he’s a saviour for everyone?! JFC. Dude needs some serious therapy.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@Theholisticpsyc I sat in his office refusing to cry, stoic - trying not to be the things he hated. It was deleted by the next day - but the damage was done. I’d already read it. I still look at the screen caps sometimes - a decade later.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@Theholisticpsyc I have trust issues and googled the hell out of my first therapist. Found a quora page where he responded to questions. In his own name. The day before an appt he answered a question “what I wish I could really tell my patients”. So many of them could have related to me. Sigh.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@lifewithpants For weeks/months/days I’ve been like that - but rarely able to actually cry - but this morning my brother snarled at me and I was finally able to sob for a bit in my car and was glad in a weird way because yep - needed/wanted to finally ACTUALLY cry.

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

@SoCity_girl Thanks - I’m just glad it’s over ❤️

[Daydreaming Fool @daydreaminfool]

Every year for some stupid reason I have some little whisper of hope that my birthday will be different. Alas - same bullshit day….different year. Sigh. Now to figure out why I care or why I want it different or why I’ve ever held out any hope.
