@runners_brain @jason61987 Fingers crossed at least that day is clear!

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

@runners_brain @jason61987 I’m running too and I hope not but I think so too!

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

@TLTorelle @Heather_in_WI Same! And October too and all the Halloween stuff is long sleeves unless you buy online

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

I guess it’s asking too much to expect caregivers of other kids at the park to pay attention enough to their kid so that their kid doesn’t go into my stroller and start drinking my kid’s water

Me: “Want to watch Wicked? It has a good witch and a bad witch. One wears pink and the other wears black and has a green face and they sing songs.”

My 4yo: “I’m not sure that’s a good idea for a movie.”

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Not to be dramatic but solo parenting on the time change with two small kids who already get up early is literally hell

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Never felt more seen by a tweet 😂😂

[savannah ⋆˙⟡ @motherpilled]

The fact that some moms can “put their baby down for a nap” by just…putting the baby down and tucking them in and then then they leave the room. And their babies just … fall asleep??? Sincerely…. I rock and sing and nurse my babies until I’m depleted of all life and minerals and willpower

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

I wonder this every day! No you may not call my daughter Peggy 🤣

[Laurie Kilmartin @anylaurie16]

How the fuck is Peggy a nickname for Margaret.

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

The audacity of @hulu to have a rate increase today and then have live TV to go out.

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Being a toddler mom is just easier when the weather is nice and you can spend all your time outside

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Today our 18 month old looked at me with disgust and shook his head no when I said “today we say let’s go Mets!” Let’s hope this is not an indication of how the game will go 😂 @kstrauss11

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Our day had been incredibly bad so if the @Mets could pull out this win that would be great!

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

@clhubes Yes! 2.5 years has been hard! Some days it’s great but most days I’m breaking up more fights than I ever thought possible

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Can confirm it was much nicer to be pregnant in the winter for my April baby and not super pregnant in the summer for my October baby. However having a newborn in the winter felt easier than in the summer 🤷🏻‍♀️

[haleigh ♡ @mamahailz]

If you have like an April baby you did it just right. Get pregnant towards the end of the summer. Don't even find out you're pregnant until summer is almost over and then be super pregnant in the springtime before summer even starts.

Nothing like searching your entire downstairs for a two inch figurine your 3 year old is screaming about right before solo bath time and bedtime

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

My daughter woke me up at 5 am to find her doll’s milk bottle and then wouldn’t go back to sleep so today is off to a great start 😴😴

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Not me ordering a bunch of nespresso pods in the middle of the night because I’m up with the sick baby.

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

Instead a of asking for Aladdin my daughter asks for Jasmine and that’s the kind of feminine energy she needs to carry throughout her life. I’m proud.

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

I know delivery workers are working so hard and I appreciate it but it’s not necessary to bang so hard on my door that it scares my two kids to the point of tears when I’m trying to feed them dinner solo tonight. The package didn’t need a signature and I have a video doorbell.

[Jackie Strauss @jackiestrauss]

My 3year old just asked me to make her dinner at 2:03 pm so yeah we are still adjusting to the time change 😂
