Call me old fashioned but I think wedding registries where money is sent thru VENMO directly to the bride or groom is kinda weird…. Like I just venmo’d the groom for a wedding we are going to this weekend. Kinda kills the gifting vibe!! I think Zola should have an escrow/holding account option where the money is ceremonially released to you on your wedding day or something. And yes I know I could have done a card with cash but ultimately I also want convenience.

Anyway, 2 nights away kid-free here we come!! And no, not attending the swift-kelce nuptials LOL just some good NorCal fun in Boonville

The last couple days have been good!! I felt like a good mom yesterday. I think my parenting struggles are pretty run of the mill… being present, being patient, pausing before responding to avoid yelling… but yesterday and today felt very happy, very natural!

I was just thinking I should post more and maybe a way to do that is to use the “post by email” function that I remembered tumblr having…. Just googled and that was discontinued in 2016 😭

When my daughter refuses to try dinner and is acting so stubborn about it… my internal response is 100% the Beast yelling “THEN GO AHEAD AND STAAAARVE”

Do you guys offer dinner again (the same plate) before bed or do a boring alternative? Idk what to do about her anymore

Now my son is also doing this…. We’ve had a few nights where the final verdict is “you don’t have to eat it but the next time we have food is breakfast”

So I like my job a lot and have some really great coworkers BUT I am very underpaid and want to make more money. There is no room to promote where I currently am. Also I work for a state university and the budget is a mess.

Last night at a friend’s birthday party, my best friend (who I met when I started working with her in 2017) told me there are openings in her dept at her job and she would send me the posting! I would love to work with her again (we worked together for 2 years) and I would make $20k more per year if they hire me at the middle of their anticipated hiring range. I know her office hires based on a who you know/who referred you basis so I feel pretty optimistic about this!! And it’s within my current wheelhouse so not even a stretch to potentially switch to.

But I feel so guilty about (potentially) leaving my coworkers and my manager in a crappy situation/system!! But it’s been 5 years and things are only getting worse…. we had to return to 4 days in office in March and on July 1 we will be back 5 days. The only perk is gone!!!! I feel like a prisoner in my cubicle.

I am definitely applying to this other job to see what happens. But I don’t think I want to start a full blown job search if I don’t get it. Idk.

How it feels to genuinely enjoy the Pitt and not get caught up on every little bad thing a character has done because they’re all complex human beings and none of them are truly evil like everyone in this fandom seems to think

I’ve been listening to Noah Kahan bc I never really have before and this is good? But I think, as a Californian, I fundamentally do not understand his vibe lol. Like… this is not for me.

Like “I’m mean because I grew up in New England” - lol - but in a “good for her” way, I support Noah!!!

This has to be the way others feel when listening to very Californian bands? I know Sublime “what I got” can’t possibly hit as a hard anywhere else

Not looking forward to crappy sleep for the next 2 weeks… I am going to make a man-shaped pillow pile to try and fool myself. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but I never sleep well without him!

My husband left for a 2 week trip (to Japan! With his best friend!) earlier today. I took the kids to the school parking lot to rides homes before dinner and we headed home at 5ish… to discover that Harvey managed to lock the doorknob lock on the back door and we were locked out. I had to call a locksmith and I picked one based on google reviews. Then while waiting I saw they had terrible reviews on yelp. Was very worried I was going to be scammed or no one would ever show up. Nice guy finally did and got the door open for $250. I feel like I was overcharged but what do I know!! Also I was desperate, it’s getting cold and dark, the kids need dinner, I have no other options. Oh well. But now I just feel very aware of being a woman alone - I have everything locked up now and the lights on. But I wish Chris was here!!!! I unfortunately have to be brave and a good mom. Ugh!!! I’ll survive but I won’t be happy about it.
