Last round for today.

Therapeutic sticker making

.

Making waterproof stickers for my annual blood cancer fundraiser.
Today’s energy: see the sticker.

Babysat the spoils of my husband’s youthful good looks while kiddo took one more ride (honestly there were seven “one more rides…”) The Guess My Age game is just great for his ego.

I am ducking exhausted and WOW did we blow through the family fun 💰.

@amarand sewing machine rainbows for you. 🌈

Not here for anyone’s nonsense today.
Maskers gonna Mask. MYOB, lady.

Coffee and bagel and my babe watching Bluey. Not a bad start.

Good morning 🌅🌻

Because I cannot stand to be indoors with my thoughts, kiddo and I went outside to deep clean the budgie palace. We took the hose to everything. Even the mist setting on the #birbs themselves. They loved it.

I am just so fucking scared that all the worst things will come to be. If someone could please coach me through how to parent in the fall of democracy, that’d just be great.

The last 7 yrs or so has been a wild fucking ride and I have done my best. But is it any wonder my child and so many others are riddled with anxiety? We’re hanging on by our fingernails half the time. Gnawing them off the rest of it.

Ahh, supply chain budget cuts….

Took Kiddo to the art museum yesterday and we went to see the Korean Couture exhibit. I can’t believe how much she absolutely loved it. We sat on a bench and watched three runway reels featuring so many of the looks in the gallery. This was our fave.

I’m not trying to brag, but I attended a really haute fashion show today after work. They gave me mashed potatoes and buttered crackers at the door and lavished me with blingy swag 💍. I was the holder of the most exclusive ticket in town 🎟️ or the only ticket, come to think of it. The models were only like 50% plastic. A bit of fiber filler and synthetic hair. The looks were innovative for sure. (I’ve been assured it’s a skin matching shirt.)

My momma sent me 2 dozen roses. A thank you for helping her with the camping adventure last week. 💖

My heart is so full.

When your Neapolitan is as happy to see you as you are to see it. #facepareidolia

What a way to end our camp week. My brother went out and got life jackets for the 4 kids and my (still new) sister-in-law took my kiddo out on the paddle board while brother kayaked with the other three older ones. Dad and I boiled on the dock, snapping pictures. I watched my little love go from nervous and anxious to brave and enthusiastic. She did not get in the water but she stood up on the board, she took a turn paddling and splashed her feet in the water. In an hour she turned fearless. 🥹

To add insult to injury (severe sunburn from pool day) dad and I had no gloves to unbind the tye-dye shirts we made with the kids. 😅 Dad’s hands are SO green.

I have a question:

#TFW you are the first person to get to borrow the new release #library #book. 📖 ❤️

Either my weather app has lost its marbles and “just cannot with Fahrenheit” after today, or I had better get the winter clothes back out. ☀️❄️❓🤨
