Being an adult will have you unironically craving a vegetable

Being an adult will have you unironically sad about a parasite outbreak in fresh vegetables.

Umm I ordered 65$ Levi ribcage jeans off amazon on a whim and I hate how much I like them. Minus the FUPPA…. WERE WORKING ON THAT. 😅

Yall makin me prove it 😂😂😂😂 (fwiw I don’t care THAT much, I’m still keeping them)

The way that I am overthinking throwing my child a SMALL (girl friends only, <6/7 kids) pool party for her bday at our house WOOF.

What time should I do it on a Saturday? Is 2 hours enough? 3 feels like a lot? Do I just serve pizza and chips and snacks and cake? Hubs will be gone so what the heck do I do with the other child? I know one kid is gluten free and that’s a whole other situation I need to look into. Do I plan other games? Throw some face masks and nail polish at them? Do I do it at lunchtime or dinner time?

Guys, help. I don’t know how to adult parent. Is there a more adult-er person who can direct me?

I am planning to include “parents feel free to drop off or stay and hang out” in the invites to make everyone comfortable (the girls invited are various levels of closeness to our fam - ie, one is a neighbor friend who’s kids are over here solo constantly and a couple are families we only know from school!) I think I’m going to do a digital canva invite situation? I have 4/6 girls parents numbers so I have to figure out the one I don’t have contact info for after school starts? Maybe fb or dojo? 🥴😅

ETA: shoot rain? Do I include a rain date or something?

I talk a lot of crap about my kids being in for a rude awakening when school starts and having to be up and out early when *I* too will be the one having a hard time getting up and out early. 😅🫠😳

Ok unpopular opinion but YIKES at Jen Hamilton going though a very public divorce and all her cryptic posts 😅🥴🙃

[growingracealways]

Lollll when influencers post about “moving their family across the country for the simple life and buying houses sight unseen”

And you get a good chuckle about being ahead on trends. Bish I’ve been doing that for years 😂😅

[growingracealways]

What disease is it that I want to lay in bed and watch trash tv and do absolutely nothing but simultaneously want to Big Black Trash Bag my entire house?

Is this adhd? Is this fertile window? Is this girlhood? 😂😅

Strugglinggggggg with what to get the 10 year old for her bday. 10 feels big and she literally has everything. We love doing expansion things for gifts (more Magnitiles more play mobiles vs new toys or things) and I am so over the THINGS they have. They need nothing!!! We plan to do a friend pool party and I’m holding off on a kid kindle for “big Christmas gift” this year.

Help!?

I’d love to do a yes day but K won’t be here on her actual bday. I’d love to do a solo overnight but we also got lots of solo time this summer with the kids separate at my parents for a hot minute. Ideas!??!!

Just tried to google “agencies that hire… “ and autofill changed it to “agencies that hitman.”

So. If I end up in jail this weekend because my internet robot flags me, that’s why.

[growingracealways]

The way that these kids decide to play SO NICELY together right before bed or when we’re about to leave the house should be studied. 😒

[growingracealways]

Everyone complains about (my) kids starting school the first week of August BUT YOU KNOW WHAT’S COOL????

My kids get FULL weeks off each break! In Missouri I feel like they were off every other Friday or Monday for some dumb holiday or in service day. But they have a full weeks of like quarterly breaks instead. My goal this year is to actually take vacations/trips on them!

Husband upon seeing my grow lights set up with my broccoli and cauliflower seeds planted for fall. “Didn’t you…. Already do this?”

😒 hi do you know how food works or??

[growingracealways]

We have gnats in our kitchen/house I can’t get rid of and I am 🤏🏻 close to lighting my entire house on fire. 🔥

[growingracealways]

Omgggggg. I went outside to give the chickens water this morning before we had to leave for camp and a bee must’ve landed on my shirt. So as we’re driving down our street S goes “there’s a bee on your shirt!” So I slammed on my break and panic flicked it off of me into the console of my car. 😅then we pulled over on our street and tried to find it for five minutes and couldn’t find it. But I didn’t wanna drive with a bee in my car so then we ended up being 10 minutes late to camp (we found it) lol which thankfully it’s just camp. It was a bumblebee, not a wasp or something but aghhh happy Monday? Running on preworkout and adrenaline I guess this morning.

[growingracealways]

Do I have any idea what I’m doing?? Nope! Are they gonna be edible? No clue!

[growingracealways]

Shade me for early kid bedtime, parenting him I die on all you want but at least I don’t make play date plans for 9am then message at 845 and say my kid still won’t get out of bed (!!) because he got to bed late last night and you’ll be late then leave you wondering and sitting around almost an hour late to be inconvenienced.

[growingracealways]

Any Jacksonville-familiar friends on here? My dad will be remote working there for a few months during the week it seems and since it isn’t too far from here driving I definitely plan on visiting! Looks like lots of cool things to do via my quick search. But if there’s anything we should def check out let me know!
