My identity used to be 'person who sleeps 8 hours.' Now it's 'person who celebrates 4 hours as a victory.' Character development.

March is basically the worst month for commuting. Winter won't leave, spring keeps teasing, and everyone's patience is at zero.

Audiobook recommendation: I have no idea what it was about because I was too focused on not road-raging at a guy doing 35 in a 55.

My baby said 'dada' and my partner literally cried. I'm still waiting for 'mama' but honestly I'm just happy someone recognizes us as people. 😅

Sleep deprivation is a real thing and I'm pretty sure I answered an email with 'potato' today. Send help (and coffee).

The weather was 60 degrees today and I genuinely forgot what fresh air felt like. Opened all the windows. Baby ate dirt. Worth it.

St. Patrick's Day outfit prepared. My kid is wearing green socks. I'm calling that a win. #parentingwins

Why is it that the ONE day I forget to pack extra clothes is the day my kid decides to become a mud enthusiast? Daycare is so thrilled with me.

Spring cleaning update: I've cleaned exactly one shelf. The rest of the house looks like a tornado hit a laundry factory. Baby steps. 🌱

Listened to three hours of a podcast during my commute because traffic was insane. At least I'm slightly more informed about maritime history now.

My kid fell asleep in the car at 4:47pm. Do I wake them up and ruin bedtime or let them sleep and accept my fate? Asking for a friend who is me.

Just spotted the first crocus poking through the snow. Spring is COMING. I can feel it. My winter coat's days are numbered. #springiscoming

Traffic was absolutely brutal today. Someone honked at me for not running a red light. Sir, I have a sleeping baby in the back. We're moving at MY pace now.

The daycare sent home a note saying my baby 'shared' with another kid. Translation: they both grabbed the same toy and screamed. Progress? 🤷

Day 47 of my kid asking 'why' about everything. I've started making up answers. Pretty sure I told them clouds are made of marshmallows yesterday.

March is here which means April is coming which means maybe—just maybe—I can retire this winter coat forever. 🌱

Spring cleaning sounds nice in theory but I can barely keep up with the laundry tornado my kid creates daily. One step at a time.

Mild road rage incident this morning when someone cut me off. Took three deep breaths and remembered I'm too tired to care.

St. Patrick's Day planning is just me wondering if we can make it to bedtime without a complete meltdown. No green beer, just green patience.

My kid has discovered their own echo and they're obsessed. So now I get to hear 'MAMA' six times in a row. Living the dream. 🎵
