there are two really good local fish/aquarium shops around here. one has a fantastic online presence...the other doesn't have any at all. so i KNOW what i'm going to see when i walk into one shop, and the other...is a totally random guess.

stinks that i'd have to call to find out their stock list.

at our children's very first doctor appt, i told the pediatrician i wanted them to get every single vaccine they were eligible for EXACTLY when they were eligible. we're not postponing shit here. turn 'em into a pincushion.

keep. them. safe.
Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

i can feel myself inching closer to a break down. a grippy sock vacation, if you will.

my husband & i are so tired.

the house is a mess. the kids (4y adhd son & 20 mos daughter) won't leave us alone.

i don't want to cook. i don't want to clean. i want to sit very still with no one touching me.
