“Oh, you like this picture frame? You want to buy it? Let me just put this ridiculously hard to remove price tag riiiiiighhht here in the middle of the glass.” - pretty much every store.
@K_IndieWoods I just have laundry bins full of clean clothes. It’s like living out of a suitcase. Oddly, I like being able to see what’s available lol Put it in a drawer - it’s forgotten.
I can wash clothes. I can put them in the dryer right after. I can fold them while they’re still warm, sorting them neatly by pants, tops, socks, & undies for each person & take them upstairs. But I can’t for the life of me put those clean clothes away.
@cassmannes It’s hard but everyone, including babe, is happier - I swear. Game changer. We did the stay in the room method.. ur not leaving them, just soothing with your voice. Day 10 u leave and they go to sleep. Only regret is not doing it sooner.
Seriously, everytime I say yes I feel like a failure because 1) I forgot one of my 72 fabric bags at home or 2) I do not have confidence in my ability to juggle 8 items through the parking lot without pulling a muscle in my pinky finger.
Patient at the ER as he sees me carry my feverish 13 month old in to be seen by the doctor:
“You’re lucky. You got right in! I’ve been here since 10am!”
Me eyeing the “WORST GOES FIRST” sign on the wall:
“Are we, though?”
She is now on the mend, thankfully. But man, walking into an ER with a baby - it’s almost like you can see the collective sigh from people who know they are getting bumped. It’s almost awkward - but sorry, I’m pro baby being seen first!
I’m semi well versed in treating fevers, removing mucus from tiny nasal passages, and providing extra cuddles when I have a sick child - but nothing could ever prepare me for the accuracy and detail in which they can casually describe their own vomit.
I have covid & have been trying to isolate, leaving hubs to watch our 4 kids. Came out of spare room masked to use the bathroom. Saw 6yo and 4yo watching TV.
“Where’s dad?” I asked.
Without taking her eyes off the TV my 4yo says,
“We locked him outside.”
