I tell my kids to leave me alone all the time and I don’t feel bad about it. Mommy needs to be able to zone out a few minutes a day or Mommy will lose it. They don’t realize how beneficial it is to not bug me all day, every day, but when they’re alive and (fairly) functional at 20, they will. I hope. I’m saving for…

I’m glad you were able to get away, just for a bit. Even though you felt guilty, I bet your mind appreciated having that little break. You did something good for yourself, therefore you did something good for your baby!

You’re my peoples!

Haha yes! I honestly stood and sniffed every.single. candle.

Woo hoo, first day back at work! You wear that clean shirt and eat with two hands! Maybe even take your time peeing, you go and have a wonderful day!

I didn’t leave my one week old baby to go to a bar, I went to Target, and it was the most magical Target visit ever. There wasn’t a tiny human demanding everything from me, I didn’t feel anxious about not being able to make her happy every second of the day, I didn’t have my other kid screaming at me in jealousy..who…

Thank you :)

Clearly I didn’t personally know Prince and I know people can’t live forever and I shouldn’t be this upset about a stranger dying but, shit, this stings. This stings hard.

Loudly guessing plot points is why my husband hates watching Law & Order SVU with me. Wanna watch it together? We can be loud and prophetic together.

It’s so weird to hear Kanye talk in a normal tone. He seems almost human.

My boyfriend, now husband, planned a surprise birthday party for me seven years ago. He kept me out of the apartment for hours and I figured something was up when I said I wanted to go home and nap and he offered to take me handbag shopping. I asked if there was a reason why we couldn’t go home and he was really…

I get super red in the face AND sweat. It’s beautiful. A friend and I ran a 10k last Sunday and were on the same pace the entire time. We took a pic at the finish line and while she was sweaty, her face was still a normal shade of human. Mine? Full on tomato face. I hate that pic.

Went in ‘07, the year Rage Against the Machine closed it out. The entire atmosphere changed on Sunday. Bikers, cholos, cops in SWAT gear (swear to god). It was amazing!

That one literally made me gasp. If I can’t handle that, I doubt I can handle the whole film.

:( that sounds terrible. Hope her delivery is smoother than the pregnancy!

That sounds terrible, I’m sorry you and your family had to go through that. I didn’t write it but I assumed everyone who read that would know that to do whatever you want within reason. Don’t put yourself and your baby in danger, be smart about it. I didn’t mention it because I figured people are smart enough to know…

I’m sorry you went through that. I meant to do what you want within reason. Some women can gain a lot of weight and be fine, others can’t, mostly I wanted to encourage women to not to listen to other people’s comments.

I miss being pregnant in that there are days when the kids are running around, screaming, fighting, being mini-dictators, and I wish my only annoyance was that I can’t eat soft cheese.

I hate the “How long did it take to lose your baby weight?” conversations with other moms because it feels like a contest. Who cares how long it took? You have a new human to take care of, there are other priorities!

You earned the right to whine about it. I have a friend that’s also Type 1, I saw what she went through during her pregnancy. Y’all are amazing and I don’t say that just to be supportive, y’all seriously are. Pregnancy is hard enough without the addition of other complications, I bow down.
