Also my child today: “Mommy can I take apart Liann’s (lego friends character) room?”
Me: (sigh) “That took us a long time to build are you sure you want to do that?”
6yo: “okay… yeah… but mommy? My Legos, my choice. …Right?”
Me: “…yep. Right.”

So I paid $1.87 and got three baguettes. I’m never correcting them. I’m riding this baguette train straight to hell. 🥖🚄🔥

Where are all my fellow chronic pain warriors? Be seen and heard. 💛

I was born with cervical and thoracic Spina Bifida. I will give you the least scientific, but shockingly effective description of said condition: Maybe God just had a little too much to drink and played Jenga with my C&T spine.

I have had 3 neck surgeries, absolutely cannot ride rollercoasters or off-road vehicles. "Rubbernecking" or double-taking can give me totaled car accident level pain. #chronicpain

About 20 years ago, an English literature teacher told my class never to make fun of someone who mispronounces a word that they used correctly (contextually) because that means they read the word and taught themselves the meaning. Making fun of them might make them lose that urge to read and discover new words. I think about that often and I am grateful.

#TFW you find out why your coworker was missing for a couple weeks and you are simultaneously shocked but also it makes a lot of sense and maybe they need an extended leave of absence or a dept change. 😳😬

Call work. Boss (who is aware of my fertility journey) is on LOA so I need to follow up with the manager covering her. So yeah… I get to ask freaking Tim, who doesn’t know me from Eve, if I can have 4 hrs off to have my uterus injected with freshly washed sperm. 😳 Because that’s not at all awkward to ask of a stranger.

At this morning’s reproductive endocrinology appointment, I asked the ultrasound tech if there was any chance I would have to come in on Sunday for the IUI. She says, nooo we are closed on Sunday. So they’ll probably have you on Monday. “Cool, cause I work weekends.”

This afternoon my fertility nurse calls and says inject tonight, schedule IUI for Sunday. “What? Sunday? For real?” It’s gotta be Sunday.

Foot fell asleep. So naturally I stand up to wake it up. Fucking nope.

I fell. Dumbest way possible. 🤬

Icing my knee but it’s bruising up quite nicely. 😳 I see an urgent care visit in my near future.

I woke up with such a sense of peace and contentment this morning. The sun is shining, it’s a beautiful morning. 🌅

I hope this bodes well for today’s reproductive endocrinology appointment coming up. 🤞🏻 Doing all the prep work for IUI #2. Checking labs and follicles today.

We finished our Kindergarten “family project” diorama of kiddo’s dream bedroom. It was stressful. There were whole-family debates over tape vs. glue and pencil vs. marker.

I’m pretty sure we crushed it on this cozy corner complete with strewn books, a plate of breakfast and a juice box by the bean bag.

In case you need to smile today… take a moment out in nature. Smell the roses. Feed the birds.

Tell women you will sell them out every fucking time without telling women you will sell them out every time.

Fuck all the way off.

So my kid’s Yoto audio player had a voluntary recall due to the battery overheating in some devices—not ours. Their solution is a “smart charging cable” (went from usb-c to a proprietary cable) so we got our “smart cable” and now the device battery capacity has been cut in half. The company has a 2 yr replacement policy of equal or greater value. I don’t want to throw a stink about the cable but I also do because we didn’t have any problems with this device until we got it.

The day I stop hanging my bras and cardigans on the dresser drawer knob will be the day my husband actually shuts the closet door.

That’s never.
