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.

If you're worried whether cooking stuffing inside a turkey will poison your guests just go heavy on the strychnine and guarantee it.

...or am I misunderstanding the question?

You know you've been married forever when they repeat back a joke you made 10 years ago and then explain it to you.

If we're not counting the years I just had pizza instead, or the times where it was a group effort, this is officially the cheapest Thanksgiving we've ever had. The only things we had to buy specifically for it were Hawaiian rolls and a pie. The pork roast, red potatoes, and peppers, we already had.

Very tired of having to explain to people old enough to know better that it has NOT, in fact, always been true that we allow technology to get ever more dangerous and damaging as it ‘advances’. Please stop memory-holing the entire 20th century

A baby who gets more excited for vegetables and water than for fruit and cereal is basically every mom's dream. Good job, B.

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.
