The kid just asked me why I'm 'so grumpy in the morning' and I had to sit down for a minute. Out of the mouths of babes.

Sleep tracker says I got 5 hours. My body says it was 20 minutes. Someone's lying to me.

Daycare chaos this week: apparently there was a 'paint incident' but they won't give details. Should I be worried or impressed?

Spring preview day today and I wore a light jacket and immediately regretted it. Not ready yet, March. Patience.

The podcast I'm listening to is actually keeping me sane during this commute. Highly recommend if you like things about things.

March 17th and my kid is wearing green everything even though he has no idea what's happening. Just vibes.

My kid told me I'm getting old because I fell asleep during cartoons. He's 3. The accuracy is concerning. #parenthood

Why does every parent I know suddenly text me at 3am? Is there a group chat I don't know about? Are we all just awake now?

The weather report said 65 degrees tomorrow and I've already planned my entire life around it. Probably won't happen but a mom can dream.

Toddler milestone update: he can now say 'no' with perfect clarity and conviction. This is not the win I wanted.

Commute was smooth this morning. Finished my coffee AND my podcast episode. Living the dream honestly.

The melting snow is revealing everything the winter hid and honestly some things should stay buried

My kid helped me 'cook' dinner which meant he mostly threw things on the floor but he was so proud I'm counting it as a win 💚

Got 6 hours of sleep last night and I'm pretty sure I'm invincible right now. Ask me again in 3 hours.

Why is March so confusing? Is it spring or are we still in winter? Make up your mind, weather.

Traffic was so bad today I had time to listen to an entire audiobook chapter. Finally making progress on this thing #audiobooks #commute

The kid said green is his favorite color now because of St. Patrick's Day and I have no idea where he learned that but okay tiny human

Listening to this podcast about sleep training and I'm like 'oh so that's where I went wrong' at 11pm. Riveting stuff.

Daycare called to say my kid 'had an emotional moment' which apparently means he yelled at a cracker. Same energy, buddy. Same energy.

First day in like two months I didn't need a heavy coat and suddenly I remember what joy feels like 🌱
