My confession is while I know my relationship right now is not ideal and pretty much at dumpster fire stages, I don't end it because I've fairly convinced myself I'm just not going to do any better.* *I promise I am not looking for hair pats or anyone to convince me otherwise. This is just my factual confession for today. Are you divorced? Couldn't settling for a dumpster fire just lead down the same road as before? It's okay to demand better. Settling leads to everyone being unhappy.

jaidit ! Love this so much. I have a fear of this happening. But, in the end, it’s just funny for everyone involved. Your story proves it. What if you are at the gym and this happens when watching a show with a heavy, loud sex scene?
Asking for a friend, obs.
LOLLLLLLLL

I was bummed about not being able to go inside my kid's new preschool in the beginning but I am already embracing the outside drop off on day 3. It's so much quicker, even with a bit of queuing for check-in, and it's actually a bit easier to hand over the clingy kid at the gate rather than dealing with the stalling and whatnot inside. If this goes on into the colder months, which I imagine it will, I am also looking forward to not dealing with getting all the outerwear off and on. Agree 1000%.

I’m pretty sure I would run away with anyone if they gave me a shoulder massage and a breakfast burrito.
Eta: I’m gonna add a really hot coffee to that list.

It is the best thing to come out of this super shitty situation. Drop off and pick up are a DREAM. It’s also super helpful how well our teachers have been communicating over Tadpoles.

In the same vein as daycare drop off, I’m currently waiting in my car to go in for my massage appt. I don’t hate that either.

DS has been watching nothing but Imagination Movers for the last few weeks. My confession is that I find Mover Rich to be very attractive, and I often sit with DS to watch the show instead of taking advantage of quiet child time.

This is so dumb that I hesitate to even post my dumbness, but here we go...
I only very recently came to the realization that our non-English speaking posters probably aren't painstakingly typing their post in English for us to read, & it is highly more likely that their post are being translated to English on my screen by way of computer technology

@holliberry do you want to keep them if you don't have a bad surgery experience? (I didn't know how to say that appropriately sorry)?
I have journals that are 😬😬😬 too and I'd probably trash them if I thought DD would read them.

With the Idris talk yesterday, I wanted to post an Idris gif from Grey's Anatomy and spent, like, an hour trying to do so. Unsuccessfully, I might add.

I confess that I have about 10 journals from the age of 12 - mid 20s that I don't know what to do it. The stuff that's written is like a bad Judy Blume novel. The reason I'm actually contemplating getting rid of them is I scheduled elective surgery for November, and am worried that I may not come out of it alive. I am an anxious person in general, but I also passed out/stopped breathing (questionable) last year, during a trigger point injection, and after multiple tests, no doctor(internist, the ER doctor, cardiologist, allergist) can tell me what exactly happened other than it was a bad syncope episode. I did tell my plastic surgeon all this, and she said she feels comfortable moving forward, especially since it will be in a good hospital in NYC. So... to burn the diaries or just rip out the super embarrassing pages? I don't want my kids later reading how "I went to have sex and smoke a joint in a motel with my coworker who was so hot." PDQ that last part haha. I worry about this too. I kept detailed journals during my roaring 20s that are...spicy and I dont know what to do with them.

when we moved a few years ago, i trashed all of my old diaries from like, junior high ish. they were SO cringeworthy. i was unsure about trashing them but i now never have to worry about a secret box being found if i get hit by a truck or someone else in this house randomly decides to organize something (which, LOL)

Having to go all the way into the building for drop off and pickup was the worst. Especially bc of how frequently the baby would fall Asleep.

Earlier this week it was nice out, so I put in a short sundress. I looked good and was feeling myself. I put on my AirPods and since I felt cute and younger I blasted an old Taylor Swift album and played an upbeat song (shake it off). My headphones weren’t really working, I could only hear a bit out of one side so I put the volume on full blast and continued my walk. A lot of people were looking at me and I thought I was working it. What I didn’t realize is that my AirPods never connected so I was walking around paris with a mini boom box of sorts, blasting Taylor Swift and strutting. Still cringing. Ha! I did this once, but I was blasting 90s Snoop Dogg at my country club gym 😂
