They generally keep it quiet so I can handle it.

Yeah, thankfully I’m not Catholic so I don’t listen to him :) But here’s the thing - if I’m not in a position to raise a child with the minimum necessities of life, without incurring debt, I am not getting pregnant. Period. Lots of periods. Because I’m not going to be pregnant.

I very, very, VERY nearly had my…

I can’t even focus well enough at work (in a physical office) some days because my coworkers are constantly interrupting me to say dumb things, mess with items on my desk, or make noises as they pass. They’re like toddlers who can also go pick up my lunch.

Ginger Drunk Twat Called Angus is an excellent Kinja burner

I will prepare the soul-snatching gameplan for tonight.

I am so Tina.

This reads like a list of my neighbors’ wifi network names.

Lol, the 3 year old fakes injuries to try to get the five year old in trouble. She was distracted with something, but homegirl would have ratted out her older sister in a second otherwise.

I babysat last Friday and in the time it took me to put a lid on dinner leftovers and set it to the fridge the 1 year old got halfway up the stairs and the 5 year old climbed the outside of the bannister up to the 2nd floor. Thankfully, the 3 year stayed in one location.

My stay-at-home-mom-of-three friend texts me at least once a week that she is selling her kids to the circus. It’s a damn hard job.

My thought too.

Not far off from San Diego :/ But at least produce is cheap here.

I kinda agree with this, gives you something to talk about and might get the dealbreakers handled quickly. I am terrible at small talk, so naturally my dating game is in the gutter. Give me a bigger idea to yammer about and I can work with it.

Pretty sure my King of the Nerds dad has this computer up in the garage rafters. He definitely runs backups of the home computer to tape.

Story time! My mom was in college (computer science) during the punch card era of computering. The computers made a particular sound as they read the punch cards, and naturally, a…

Same. I’m on the third book.

But snuggle works too.

Lol, and then we can quote it as incessantly as Hermione.

I may be brave enough to hustle to the theater alone for this one!
