I confess that I have to work all day and fully intend to take many breaks to check back in on this thread today.

Every morning I get a doorbell alert that my painters have arrived I have to really restrain myself from singing "GOOD MORNING!!!" at them through the doorbell speaker.

My house is empty and it's making having a puppy much easier. No furniture, lots of space to play fetch.

My kids are eating their breakfast- oatmeal in coffee mugs with plastic forks. I forgot to keep silverware out. But I remembered coffee mugs! Priorities.

We are celebrating Robbie Burns night with our pod-neighbors on Saturday, and I'm ignoring my children (and their son, today) in favor of spending time making a playlist, prepping the dessert I'm making, and designing a celebratory banner.
I also might make a stuffed bagpipe. For babpipe lip sync battles. Bag sync battles?
Like, the children are off doing who knows what. WHO KNOWS.

The neighbors think it's super cute that their son always said "peek" instead of "keep," so they don't correct him and now he's almost seven and still says it.
Confession: I do not think it's cute.

I set J up to do his school calls upstairs today (since he no longer has a desk downstairs) so I'm now relaxing in front of the TV with my coffee. Feels great.

Yesterday I put on fake nails just to feel something (not like I’m leaving my house). I am so useless with these on that I have already dropped my laptop 🤦🏻♀️.

Last week I had a minor surgery (everything’s fine). It was a twilight type of sedation so I was mostly awake throughout but high AF.
1. The nurse asked me what music I wanted to listen to during the procedure. I panicked and couldn’t think of a single artist aside from TSwift. The nurse visibly cringed. She played a single Taylor song and then changed the music without comment lol.
2. I am 90% sure I made inappropriate jokes to the doctor. I am who I am.

My husband does all the night feedings for the baby (which is one since she was 2 months, she's 4.5 months now). He sleeps until she wakes up and falls asleep immediately after whereas if I do it I'll be awake anxiously waiting for her to wake up and then can never fall back asleep again.

Is this where I confess that I really like Taylor Swift's newest album? I have never had any strong feelings about her either way, but Apple Music randomly played me one and I was all, "oooo, I want to listen to more!" |

I loved folklore and I never listened to any of her previous music (other than on the radio). I think it's amazing and I listen to it all the way through all the time. Evermore wasn't as great, in my opinion. But yeah, I have no shame about loving it lol. |

I'm totally going to watch part of an episode of Bridgerton at work today. I didn't get to finish it while working out today, so I brought in my headphones so that I could listen in secret. I also deliberately pointed my monitors away from the door and windows when setting up my office so that I could do this when the opportunity arose.

I'm obsessed with Evermore. The album is a whole mood, everything just flows. I love all the songs but Long Story Short is my favorite. Sometimes I accidentally play that on repeat. I keep meaning to listen to Folklore but can't tear myself away from Evermore to do so. |

Oh here is a FFC. I walked down the aisle to Love Story by Taylor Swift (instrumental version).

I'm enjoying it, but milano is spot on when she calls Evermore a mood. I think that's what speaks to me. |

I started cooking the bread my husband was raising in the oven on Wednesday. This is why I need a proofing box. Thankfully it was in a SS bowl and only the bread and the plastic cover needed to be tossed. But this was definately me as soon as I remembered it was in there.  |

My 4yo came out of the shower and heard the music (Marjorie) and said, "what's that sound? It sounds exactly like a dream". 🤨 |

Well shit. Should I correct M when she says 'pook' instead of 'poop'? You definitely don’t have to, but please do not expect anyone else to find it adorable. He also says “teachers” when he means “adults” and he KNOWS it isn’t correct, but still does it and waits for the smile from his parents. It’s very much a performance. “One day when I’m a teacher I’m going to have a dog!” “You’re a teacher and you are shorter than G!” I just correct him every time. “I’m not a teacher, I’m an adult and a mother and a gardener.” Also. M isn’t 7. |

^maybe I’m just an asshole.
Or maybe working with H who still has some lingering little-kid speech issues makes me confused as to why people romanticize it.
Edit: me just being an asshole would be the confession! So, yahtzee.

I had a roommate who used to put dirty dishes in the oven. I would pre-heat and only catch the mistake once I smelled it. |

M isn’t 7. I just meant it never occurred to me that she might keep on saying it forever. Although we don't giggle about it (in front of her anyway) so she wouldn't have any motivation to keep doing it. I def don't think you are an asshole! |
