February is the longest month. I don't care what the calendar says.

The daycare called because my kid won't nap. I'm at work pretending this doesn't stress me out. It does.

Is it normal to have fantasies about sleeping for 8 uninterrupted hours? Asking for research purposes.

Freezing rain this morning = my car is a skating rink and I have the emotional bandwidth of a teaspoon

Tried a new audiobook and it's actually good which is dangerous because now I can't stop listening during my commute

My kid said 'mama you're silly' today and it's literally the best compliment I've received in months #parenting #win

Public transit observation: everyone on the 7:15am bus has the same dead-inside expression. We're a community.

The coffee shop has Valentine's Day decorations up and I'm over here like 'can we just talk about SPRING' 🌱

Why does my 2yo have more energy at 11pm than I do at 11am? Asking for a sleep-deprived friend (me)

Found the first crocus in our yard and honestly might've cried a little. Winter is OVER (it's not but let me have this)

Groundhog Day joke count at daycare pickup: 12. My brain cannot process this much wildlife humor at 5pm.

Traffic was so bad this morning I finished an entire podcast episode sitting in one intersection. #commute

My kid just called broccoli 'little trees' and now that's all they'll eat. I'm not complaining.

Day 47 of winter and I'm convinced spring is a myth we invented to keep ourselves sane
