Entering a new era of being a boy mom:
3yo just regaled me with a string of facts about “ambacombas” (anacondas).

2yo nephew walked in my door, terrorized my 2yo for a minute, accepted a snack from my hand, and walked back out the door without so much as a “good day.”
Nice to see you, too, buddy.

I started trying to potty train my daughter back in July, but then…
Sickness
Travel
New baby
Houseguests
…and now the washing machine is broken.
It’s like the universe is conspiring to keep this kid in diapers for an extra year. 🫠

Talking about how Daddy kissed me goodbye because I’m his favorite:
3yo kisses me and says I’m his favorite. 4yo doesn’t like kisses but says I’m her favorite and the baby’s favorite too! So I ask the 2yo if I’m her favorite.
“No.”
Well. 3/4 isn’t bad. 😂

Two months in and I’m convinced y’all were lying about 4 kids being less work than 3. Do you know how long it takes to unload 4 sleeping carcasses from their car seats?
That’s a workout and a half.

Today I stood in a public restroom stall nursing my baby while my 3yo was pooping and my other two children danced around my legs.
One of the not-so-glamorous pictures of motherhood right there.

Whirlpool warranty told me this happened because I failed to wash this blanket on the bulky setting and that washing all my clothes on bulky would fix this issue. My sheets have now been sitting on “wash” for 40 minutes doing absolutely nothing. 🙄
Brand new washing machine is presumably done washing this blanket, but is locked and the cancel button isn’t unlocking it. I hate “fancy” technology. Tempted to reinstall the old one. 🙄

As someone who once had a married lady sit next to me at church because she “remembers how it feels” to live what was my normal Sunday morning experience, can I ask you not to do this and provide instead:
"As Julie and I discussed it, we thought it was worth calling Christian couples to re-imagine what it’s like walking into church on your own, and then to think of church less like a date and more like a deployment."

Honestly, sitting next to someone in church and calling it a service is laughable. It’s like you assigned a “lesser” value to someone based on relationship status and get to put a sticker on your Christian Duty Chart because you talked to them for two minutes.
Okay, wait. Did someone report Bug Hall’s gofundme?
You are entitled to hate the man, but I don’t like the idea of living in a world where the lynch mob can decide whether or not a person is worthy of seeking aid from his fellow man.
The usual seethers and teeth gnashers will be found ineffectual as always, but until then, may God bestow a blessing upon you all and your cats 🤭🥱

Baby has been fussy and angry while nursing and I am total rage monster today. Cycle imminent?

I gave up on quiet time after 30 minutes because only 1/4 kids was cooperating. They all calmed down and happily stayed in their solitude for another 30 minutes. Are we just fighting the system on principle???

Baby is sleeping. Middle two are fussy and clingy. Oldest is antagonizing everyone with her abundance of energy. I’m about to give up and put a movie on. 🫠
