Amy

Thank you!

I just got some stupid horoscope email, apparently talking about some challenge from the universe. But what jumped out at me from the notification was, all on one line, "the universe is about to unravel."

...is that supposed to be new information?

B's musical education continues. Tonight is punk rock night.

Plus I think it would actually be good for him *because* his arms are getting tired when he holds himself up by the rings. His arms are doing too much of the work and he needs to work on his leg strength, and jumping should help with that.

It's not a safety thing, it's really just her preference when she says that. "He'll think he's always supposed to jump when his feet are on the ground if he has one he can jump in." Lady, he already thinks that.

His developmental specialist says not to give him one, but she's not the one trying to juggle being a SAHM and a working mom at the same damn time. When she has to live my life, she can tell me not to put him in anything that keeps him content when I'm busy.

Today has shown me that B really needs a standing activity center for my office. He has a walk-around one for the living room, but it's too big for the office. He's been yelling all day because he wants to be standing up and his arms get tired holding himself up by the rings on the playpen.

Something I would absolutely wish on my worst enemy:

A full 8hr shift on 3hrs of sleep with no childcare and a baby whose favorite way to say "I'm bored" is screaming.

We will be eating a lot of rice, but the baby needs his specific foods because he doesn't know how to eat regular food yet. And diapers and formula aren't exactly optional.

We managed to pay rent only one day late, and have pretty much exactly enough left to get groceries for the baby. Nothing else, but I'm still calling that a win at this point of this shitshow.

People are missing the point in replying to this. Shes not a billionaire because she gives her money away to charity and help people ten times over.

But think about all the money she gives away TO help. She should have been one waaaaay before now

She is quite literally the billionaire that ISNT.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Maze is taking her job as Mommy's helper very seriously. I popped B into his playpen and sat down to clock in, and she came running like she's clocking in too.

@itch.io this is utterly inappropriate!! Pay your creators in a timely manner FFS

Please I'm currently at $20 of $1000 needed to cover my medication and my phone bill. Im currently bedridden with covid and cant do any delivery work. Any help would mean the world. Thank you 🖤🖤🖤

His pediatrician is extremely happy with his progress in pretty much all areas. He is a tiny bit behind on speech, but we knew that and fully expected it, since he couldn't hear for the first few months, and he is catching up.

I'm actually happy that we found gas for $3.89 🤮

It was $4.39 at the station closer to the doctor's office.

B is in the 25th percentile and no longer needs extra calories in his formula! 🥳

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

I'm probably going with an elephant or something, just an animal that could not fit inside a microwave anyway. Because the point is to help me sleep, not give me nightmares.

I'm laughing at myself because I decided a Warmies (Warmie, singular? Idk.) might help me sleep, and the kittycat ones are so adorable so of course that's the one I would want...until I remembered I would be putting it in the microwave, and now I'm horrified by the cat one.

Because you didn't forward a chain email in 2009

Now that Amazon appears to be working again...

He’s doing the meme

Every time I start to get mad at myself about B getting screen time while I'm working, I see another fucked up story about a daycare and then suddenly I don't feel so bad. He really only even looks up when the theme song plays, and he's safe and fed and has his mommy 3ft away. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We had to put the crib mattress at the lowest setting since B likes to pull himself up and jump. I am about two inches too short for this. I always feel like I'm going to fall in when I try to lay him down.

Check out my list on Amazon

B is growing faster than I can keep up with and needs new clothes. If anyone would like to help, we'd really appreciate it!

I'm just staying where I am and hope I die quickly without too much pain. What do I want to live through the end of the world for?

The only time I can sleep is when B or a cat is on me, but the cats don't stay long and I'm terrified to let B sleep in my bed after the night he fell out of it. So mostly I just don't sleep.
