I was down a rabbit hole.
Deep deep down.
Am I back? Not sure.
Am I okay? Not sure.
Am I improving? Not sure.
Am I confident? Not sure.
Am I asking for help? Not sure.
Am I happy with people offering help? Not sure.
Am I doubting myself? Always.
We changed the couch and this time I didn't want to keep it covered, so I asked my 5yo: "Can you be careful with chocolate so that I can leave it uncovered?"
5yo: "Mom, have you seen the mess I made with breakfast? Do me a favour and leave it covered."
#ok#thanks#honest
@CanalFJPLAY @HGRqu0I6YgtfHCa I sent you a friendship request, but do you think we can really exchange pokemon from so far? I doubt it. I'm Tommasomimikyu
5yo: "Mom, just a minute!"
Me: "It's bedtime and it's late!"
5yo: "But I want to go out and sing to the stars!"
Me: "Oh, okay. I'll come with you."
And he did sing nonsense to the stars.
It was so pure.

@OhThatMomGlow I'd surely tell myself to care for myself. To exercise, to eat well, to not get fat and surely to take time for myself. I need it and I deserve it.
5yo: "Mom, how was your day?"
Me: "Oh sweetie, I had a very busy day. I made phone calls, I wrote e-mails, I sold bags and shoes... A relaly busy day. And now tell me, what did you do today?"
5yo, seriously: "I sweated. A lot."
Me: "Are you happy to go on school trip to the African Museum today?"
5yo, perplexed: "Uhm... But mum... Isn't it too far?"
Me: "Well... Are you aware that you're not going to Africa but just in a museum downtown?"
5yo: "Thanks God! Yep, that sounds better!"

@IAmStillChris @DadofDripsticks @DaddyPoppinsBlg@ParentBear @OMGitsagirl2015 @moderndadpages Oh, it was about people being rude.
So, I went rude to teach them to not be rude.
@IAmStillChris @DadofDripsticks @DaddyPoppinsBlg@ParentBear @OMGitsagirl2015 @moderndadpages I had three verbal fights with strangers this week.
And it's just Wednesday.
Today I took Xanax.
5yo whispering in the darkness: "Mom, I'm scared!"
"Of what?"
"Of bad dreams."
"Me too, last night I had a bad dream and I woke up all shaken. You know what? Fill your head with the things you love most, like robots, chocolate and such. There'll be no space for bad stuff."
