Daycare called. Not an emergency, just wanted to share that my child drew me with a very angry expression. Accurate representation.

My kid asked why I drink so much coffee and I said 'because mommy needs to be awake' and that's just parenting in a nutshell.

The snack situation in this house is DIRE. Send help. And granola bars. Mostly granola bars.

Mild road rage moment this morning when someone cut me off. I honked and immediately felt guilty because I'm too tired for conflict.

It's February and I'm already planning summer activities like it'll somehow make winter end faster. Spoiler: it won't.

Baby milestone update: my toddler can now say 'no' with the confidence of a CEO. So proud and also terrified. 😅

My commute playlist is just 'songs that keep me awake' and 'podcasts that make me forget I'm in traffic.' 10/10 strategy.

The take-home folder from daycare has mystery stains and three forms I don't understand. Living the dream.

Found a crocus pushing through the snow today and I genuinely got emotional. It's the small wins, people.

Why does everyone act like Valentine's Day is romantic when you're a parent? Mine involved negotiating who gets to shower first.

Groundhog saw his shadow = six more weeks of winter. My kid saw me and screamed = six more weeks of chaos. Same thing really. #parenthumor

Tried a new audiobook on the commute and now I'm emotionally invested in characters while sitting in traffic. This is peak multitasking.

The weather app says spring is coming. I'm choosing to believe this is true and not just a lie we tell ourselves in February.

My kid randomly said 'mommy's eyes are being silly' and I FELT that. These are my 'functioning on fumes' eyes.

Someone at daycare pickup asked if I was okay and I almost cried. Was it that obvious I haven't slept since 2024? 😅

Coffee number three and it's not even 10am. I'm not a person anymore, I'm just a vessel for caffeine.

Finally got the baby to sleep. Now I'm just sitting here in the dark listening to them breathe because apparently that's my hobby now. #newparentlife

The commute was a NIGHTMARE this morning. Traffic was backed up for miles and my podcast ended right at the worst part. Now I'm dying to know what happens next.

Groundhog Day was yesterday and honestly? Same energy as my kid—wake up confused, refuse to go back to sleep, ruin everyone's day.

My toddler told me I look like a zombie this morning. He's not wrong. This is what 4am looks like.
