We toured one today. That shit was scary. What do you even look for? We were there for like 20min. The facility looks fine. But does that really give an idea of how things work? I’m just scared to let go of control. So scared. My baby is amazing. Am I gonna get frustrated with… read more

It’s been an enormous weekend. Friday we sold our house. It went smoothly and now it’s done, and however sadly I might feel about parts of it, it was indeed good to get it off our backs. We celebrated with pizza too, so that’s always a win. Saturday, we finally met up with a family… read more

Erica only peed her shorts twice today I think. She did a lot of screaming. Nate came home from work early (it was a special occasion so he went into the office) and it saved my day. She did do a lot of cooking with us in her lil tower, and that is very fun… read more

I have finally, after literal months, finished the squares for James’s birth blanket. 144 squares total, made of 6 different colors. I accidentally made more than I needed in several colors, too, though. Now all I have to do is block them out! And then stitch them together in hopefully the correct order because I… read more

Right now I think I feel more like a real, legitimately functional person than I ever have, and it isn’t because of the simple fact of being a parent, of some magical biological fulfillment; rather, it’s that the daily nitty-gritty of being a parent (of two!) has finally forced me to actually regularly meet and… read more
