If I don’t quit today it will be an absolute miracle. I had enough reasons to before 9 AM already today.

I am shocked that I haven’t quit yet. The stupidity of people really shocks me.

My parents are CONSTANTLY telling me they raised 4 kids they know what to do. They know how hard it is etc etc. We’ve been here 2 weeks and they have not been able to handle my 2 year old without issue for more than 10 minutes.

I hate hate HATE being the only girl on my team. Because apparently being asked a yes or no question and responding with yes is now “feisty.”

We have one guy on our team who consistently always pushes his work off and I’m really curious what tf he actually does on a day to day basis if he’s always pushing his work off.

I swear becoming a mom makes it so even your own mom doesn’t care about your birthday anymore. Going to buy my own birthday cake yesterday while literally visiting my parents from 1000 miles away is by far the most mom moment of this trip.

We drive an hour off the highway to stay at my uncle’s vacation house for free for the spare key not the be there. Got to a hotel, paid, and she couldn’t get any room keys to work because it was after midnight and the program hadn’t been updated for 2026 yet. 🙃🙃

Only my psychotically religious SIL would find a way to make Christmas even more religious than the aunt who is a nun. I went to 15 years of Catholic school and she still comes up with things no one has heard of before.

I have ZERO motivation to cook a Christmas Eve/day meal. Plus zero idea what to even make. It’s only the 3 of us-a toddler who doesn’t understand anything outside of its food and a husband who would be content with anything/nothing.

I understand things arise but if a Dr is running more than 20 minutes behind they should be required to give you a courtesy call. This is the 4th time in 2.5 weeks I’ve gotten to an appt and asked if they were running on time to be told they’re running over an hour behind. I could’ve stayed at work.

We live like a mile from an Amazon distribution center and like 15 miles for a major Amazon hub. Tell me why I can order something today (a Tuesday) and it won’t be here until Saturday. 2 day shipping my ass. You cannot tell me it’s going to take you 2 days to process my order with Amazon….

I want to be the fun cool Pinterest elf on the shelf mom but the thought of having to figure that out each night after engineering for 9+ hours seems like more torture than I could handle.

The best party of weeks where a paid holiday is on a Friday is that’s usually my half day so I get to work 4 hours less during the week. Plus field work tomorrow means I get to log off at a normal time today and very early on Wednesday.

Taking my broken foot to the field tomorrow which is usually our venting day for my coworker and I. Except this time we have to take our new hire (who we would otherwise definitely be venting about.) 😭😭

Also, like does that mean then I don’t need to send a card to anyone in your family bc why do they need 2 cards with us on it? So now each person will get a card from the grandparents and one from each of the 3 kids. So 2 pictures of each set of kids/grandkids. It’s seems very unnecessary.
I can’t stand grandparents sending out Christmas cards of their grandchildren or like their family/grandchildren. I feel like once your kids are old enough that they have their own family you shouldn’t be sending one out of them.

We had a new nanny all lined up and then she decided it was too many hours and I just feel so defeated in this search.

So excited to do our first true big girl day this weekend. Taking her to see her first performance, a spa day painting her nails for the first time, and then to afternoon tea.
