Saying a toddler’s art is “very Cy Twombly” is such a good bit

Crate & Kids really got me by putting a cute crib quilt on clearance and making it final sale while knowing it wasn’t properly quilted. Batting is ruined after washing. I’ll probably try to quilt it some myself to halfway salvage it, but idk. Annoying

Pregnancy exhaustion will have you taking an hour and a half long nap on top of a ceramic plate you left on the couch

Unborn babies love the movies. Every time I have gone to the theater while pregnant the babies have gone wild

Used 2 follow a cool girl on here who had a decent following & I didn’t realize until I saw her irl that she lives near me. She deactivated long ago but I still see her occasionally & I have never had a chance/reason to talk 2 her. I feel so incredibly weird-

For knowing her face & full name & where she works while she presumably has zero idea I exist. I also assume this is why she deactivated & made her insta private bc she has mentioned being recognized b4. Anyway I saw her at brunch today

Just one example of the elaborate imaginative scenes I set up for my daughter to wake up to. She’s gonna go crazy for this one

Dismayed. Every nursing bra feels like a frumpy prison. It was the new kindred bravely barebond one, and it just fits badly on me, feels bulky.
Trying another cotton nursing bra. But guarding my heart

I got really into perfume before my daughter was born & stopped wearing it after. Wearing my old perfumes now feels so strange because of the memories tied to them. Feels like I should be wedding dress shopping in New Orleans or waiting to find out the gender of my first child

Husband has again started working with a v influential guy in our town and I just got myself and baby ready and out the door in 17 minutes to meet with a senator as a favor to the both of them. See our photo in the paper next week.

Feel such a sense of spiritual cleansing when I hear the trash truck ramble up and clink and clank and slam rubbish into itself and carry all of our trash far far away

Really really wish I had one of those giants buckets of variety popcorn right now. Really must not even think about it lest I get upset
