My very picky kiddo saw kids at school eating grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup and actually wanted to TRY it 🤯 and she LIKES it!! (I was worried)

If we managed to use every single plate in a DAY, does that make it reasonable to consider ice cream cones for dinner?...

Incredible picture, kind of looks like he's having a conversation with his tiny kitten self

I keep thinking, something is WRONG with me today, but then I remember I was awake between 2-7 this morning and only got to sleep until 10:30 🫠

Can I send a 5yo that's been awake since 1:30 to school? Like, what's the protocol here? She probably won't sleep at home, but also she might sleep during the commute and wake up real grumpy 😵‍💫 it's only a half day

That's so great to hear! He's a good human and you deserve it! Also 4.5 hours is much too long for homework 😭💔

The pants I mended for my 5yo? Last night I heard a ripping sound and she was making a massive hole on the other knee 🥲 not sure I want to have a go at that one

I have things to do... But apparently all my brain can come up with is laying on the couch wondering why I don't want to do anything 🫠 cupboard sounds fun!

So Zombie by The Cranberries was playing at Spirit Halloween the other day. I had forgotten the name and was like "interesting choice??" but now I'm wondering if some kid just put it in the playlist because of the name

I'm thinking of a term like hangry, but for the energy/motivation from spite - spitergy, except that sort of sounds like a Spiderman thing

I swear my 5yo has some sixth sense about when she doesn't have to get up early for school 😴 I guess at least I got to sleep over the weekend! Even if she slept with me, she was asleep

That was my thought, too! But a weird thing happens when you google panther... like, what is a panther and does it exist

I watched enough of those "fix your clothes" tutorials that I pulled out a needle and thread and sewed a flimsy repair on my 5yo's flimsy pants, and I gotta say it feels good. She probably would have worn it with a hole but she picks and them and they get huge

A few years back I managed to pull a muscle in my neck while I was asleep 🥴 getting old is just neat

I can't believe there are still at least 3 hours left in today

Diane @kitsterrific.bsky.social · 6d

Sometimes I'm okay - a while ago I might have even said I was great! - but today I'm really... not. UGH 😤

Why is it so alarming when the lights flicker off in the middle of the day 😵‍💫💀

Yaaay my baby actually got up this morning!

Maybe next time I'll remember

On mornings where I drive my kid the 35 minutes to school, I'm like "I've got an extra half an hour, I'm going to eat breakfast!" And then after breakfast I realize I still only have 20 minutes to get my kid ready... and the reason I'm driving her is because she refused to get ready. Great job mom.
