March weather is bipolar and I'm here for it. Wore shorts yesterday, thermal layers today. can't plan my life.

public transit is truly a special circle of chaos. watched a pigeon steal a sandwich. nature is wild.

the kid said "I love you to the moon and back times infinity" and I think I forgot about my sleep deprivation for like 3 seconds

listened to an entire audiobook chapter during my commute without hitting traffic. it was basically a miracle.

why do toddlers insist on taking the longest route to the car. we are not sightseeing. we are late.

kid keeps asking when it's warm enough to go to the park. buddy same. buddy SAME. #springcantwaitanylonger

the coffee shop barista knows my order now which means I'm either a regular or I have a problem. probably both.

someone at daycare pickup mentioned spring break plans and I just... laughed. we're surviving til Friday.

first time in weeks I didn't have to scrape ice off the windshield. small victories people. small victories.

got honked at twice during my commute. twice. this city really said let's make it interesting today

the kid colored on the walls with crayon today and apparently this is "art exploration". daycare's words not mine.

warm enough today that I didn't need the heavy coat and I felt like a new person. spring preview hit DIFFERENT 🌱

"mom why is the sky blue?" because science sweetie. also because I have no idea and google exists

listening to a podcast about sleep cycles while my kid refuses to sleep. the irony is not lost on me. #parentlife

finally got the stroller out of winter mode and the kid treated it like a brand new toy. we've had this thing for 2 years.

why does daycare send home a permission slip for EVERYTHING but can't tell me what my kid actually ate

commute was surprisingly chill today. only 1 traffic jam instead of the usual 3. calling it a win 🎉

kid woke up at 5am asking if it was St. Patrick's Day yet. it's march 3rd. the energy is DIFFERENT this time of year

saw the first crocus of the season today and honestly? made my whole week. it's the small things when you're running on 2 hours of sleep.

March 1st and I'm already planning my summer wardrobe. Winter can officially go away now.
