.. the self-control to not be sucked in. I guess I'm not one of them. It's time for me to make drastic changes to fix my life. See you on the other side!!

So today is day 10 of quitting, but I still don't have the motivation to do anything. I thought it would be here by now. The only thing I do all day is scroll on my phone, so I'm thinking I need to eliminate X. I still care about all the stuff, and I admire people with..

This pregnancy feels different from the others. I'm terrified of what that could mean. I'm just paranoid, though, right? RIGHT???

One of the suggestions from her speech and OT therapists to encourage new food exploration was to let her hand feed me. I take all their advice, so yes, I allow/encourage her to feed me.

Results:

New foods she has tried: 0

Other Results: She really enjoys force feeding me.

My 2yr old has a restrictive diet. She has not yet fallen below an "acceptable" weight, so she doesn't have an official diagnosis even though she eats only 10 different foods, and her doctors acknowledge it is a restrictive diet. That the back story.

This is local to me! 🥰

I will try anything. I will buy anything. It can keep my scalp, but please, not my nails!!! 😫

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

If someone out there has found the solution to saving your nails from psoriasis, I would be eternally grateful to be pointed in that direction. Losing my nails is my greatest fear, and I feel like I'm watching it happen in slow motion
The official answer is there is no cure...

I wonder how many people are googling how to change their party affiliation today...

[Shipwreck @shipwreckshow]

I need your help. This family is from my small community and has suffered a devastating loss.

I don't get a chance to do this very often, but if you have it in you to donate a little, please do.

If not, it's totally okay. If you could leave some words of encouragement in the comments, I'm going to share these posts with the organizer if she'd like to share them with Kali when the time is appropriate.

Thank you all, love your faces.

Loving them or who they used to be doesn't make it easier. Be thankful if you can't relate.

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

If you don't have an addict in your immediate family, let me tell you, you have no idea what it's like. People act like I'm a cold bitch for not keeping track of her. I'm glad she's not dead, but you have no idea what it's been like to worry for over two decades.

She just sent a cryptic message to her ex-mil, saying she would never see her again.... because she's moving!! Did she mention moving? No. That message just crossed the country and scared half a dozen people. Even when they're sober addicts can be a difficult mess.

Rules voted 5-7 to block the full House from voting on my amendment to have a FULL release of the Epstein file. People are fed up. They are fed up. Thanks ⁦@RepRalphNorman⁩. Need to put the American people before party!

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

I get to thinking and that's the problem.

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

They say you shouldn't have a favorite kid but I instituted "my favorite for the next 5 minutes" and I award it when one of them does me a favor or finds something I'm missing and let me tell you - they love it and move extra quick to win it!

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

@FraserBerryFarm @readtoyourkid I did too. Dried up around 6 weeks with all 3 kids I tried to breastfeed. They all seem thankful I switched to formula and didn't let them starve.

I never got to write a birth plan. I get no say in so many things, and I still feel so lucky. If I'm having a boy, I will spend months terrified of the results that I won't get until he's 24 hours old.

[Mandii @MiscMandii]

I'm so happy for the women who get to give birth exactly how they want to, but I wish they would appreciate how lucky they are. People tell me what to do or what to hope for until I tell them about the rare blood disorder I carry - yeah, we're not all so lucky.
