I was told to make a Christmas wishlist for B's first Christmas, so I did. I tried to stick to "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read."

Maybe help a broke mommy give her little NICU warrior a good first Christmas? It's been a really rough 6 months.

I'm sure it is exhausting coming up with a new way to say "I don't know anything about that" every five minutes 🙄

The hardest part about being broke at Xmas with a baby is that most of his presents are kind of right in between wants and needs, things he could really use for his development right now, but I have to put the few things I could get in a closet and wait, because if I don't he won't have presents.

Teaching B to be independent in small, age-appropriate ways (like settling himself down by hugging a stuffed animal for 5mins while I make a bottle) while also remembering how my issues are a result of too much independence too soon, is a trip. (The hugging does work for him though, I'm proud)

Thin walls are great. Who doesn't love leaving your baby playing happily in his playpen while you run to the kitchen to grab a snack, and then you hear a baby screaming at the top of their lungs so you have to run and check, only to discover that it's not your baby screaming

Re: device hoarding

Are they going to call it hoarding when we drive our currently 10yo car until the wheels fall off, because by the time it's paid off, we'll have spent 25k on a 15yo car and don't want to turn around and immediately spend even more on one just as old?

Fuck this day. Smoke alarm went off for no reason that I can find right after I clocked in, and then I open my email and see that one of my favorite people (the training supervisor who I'd hoped to work with directly, eventually) got laid off.

"device hoarding" also known as: When someone hasn't replaced the one phone that they have in a few years because they had no reason to. Words used to mean things.

Me, buying ground turkey because I can't afford beef: So the food I'm stuck with against my will has eaten the food I actually wanted but can't afford? Awesome 🙃
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

At the moment, I’m regrettably not reading Edgar Allan Poe whilst having cappuccinos and croissants in a dimly-lit quaint café on a cobblestone street in Prague during a snowstorm, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well.”

How desperate my brain is for literally anything different to do because the last 100 days have all been exactly the same and I feel like I'm losing my mind: I *volunteered* to fold laundry & vacuum if M would cook dinner. I hate doing both, that's why they're on his list and cooking is on mine.
