jorkzy ❤️ How do *you* feel now that it’s out there? Honestly, fine. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Like, I’m a vvv independent person. To a fault. But if you continue to show me, over years and years, that I can do this by myself bc you’re not around - I’m going to do it by myself. If you’re not around to see that I’m struggling, then I’ll figure shit out on my own. He sees himself as the breadwinner and it’s been his overwhelming focus - to provide, to be ready for retirement. I’m more of an in-the-now person, it’s been a thing for a while. And AND I don’t make peanuts, either. Doesn’t that count for anything? But like the toddler will talk about him, on the drive home from daycare and it’s: “Daddy workin’? Daddy sleepin’?” Because that’s what he knows of him. Thanks for the therapy, y’all! I’m not looking for head pats or anything. Just getting it out into the universe.

My grocery order is in and I’m stunned by how much prices have gone up. I didn’t even get exciting shit. DH is teasingly giving me a hard time about buying the kids comforters and I’m like sir we live where the cold hurts your face, we do not need to be minimalists about blankets. I get so mad every time I do the grocery shopping. What used to cost me $175/week costs me closer to $250 now. It's nuts. Same only a touch more (there are five of us). It’s awful. And dh is all like oh that’s a lot for (insert item) and I’m like dude you’ve been in a grocery store like five times on the last 20 years, let’s not base prices off 20 years ago? The few times he’s been in was just to grab milk and bread or something so he has no clue. He quiets down now.

DS fell today, and in a freak accident, hit the sharp edge of a wooden nightstand on the way down. He has about a 5-6 inch superficial laceration down his right side. He’s ok, but the cut is super ugly. It has been determined that DD will never be a trauma nurse/doctor. So we’ll go ahead and cross that off our list of career goals. My god, the second she sees blood, she loses her mind. She told me “it was the scariest moment of my life”. When my brother was 5 (so I would have been 10) he cracked his head open on the playground at school. Mom came to pick him up and he started to pull the bandage away and she instantly yelled for him to put it back on. I had to hold it on his head while she drove him to the hospital because she cannot do blood and was afraid he would let go in the car. So. Much. Blood.

I’m like a kid on Christmas waiting for my Sephora order. I keep hitting track my order. I didn’t order anything different but I’ve been out of my lotion for four days and I’m dying. I need it.

Just finished my workout and what a difference! I go from extreme exhaustion to grooving away between each set 😋
Love workouts like that!

I am stuck working today. I am feeling very run down at work lately and pulled in so many different directions. I've cried multiple times this week because I don't know how to get it all done. And I can't ask for help because it's not out in the open. I’m sorry you’re struggling. ❤️

Almost a year in and I’m really redecorating my wfh desk space. I still hate where it’s at but there’s nothing I can do about that. But hopefully this will help me feel better than I have.

jorkzy, I think it’s good you initiated the conversation, even if it’s a hard thing to talk about. I hope you’re able to figure out the best path forward, whatever that may be. ((Hugs))

I’m sorry you’re struggling. ❤️ thanks, Shan. I have to keep telling myself that there is an end in sight, but it seems so far off right now. You’re a very strong capable bitch. You got this.

The comforters are here and the kids are so happy, the Instacart shopper got queen sized instead of twin but oh well. Their fort building will only be enhanced by that! They’re all wrapped up in nests with devices. Is there any better feeling than that coziness.

I got out of my shower and came downstairs to find BF and DD emptying out her playroom. I came down to relax and watch a movie as I exhausted myself with my workout.
BF said no problem, sit and relax as he wanted to clean it out and totally reorganize it......like have at it, but also thank you as it is a pain in my ass to do!
He is the best 😍
