we chose Halloween costumes on Saturday. Callen will be attending as a fire truck

in further news I am so Fucking sick of coughing

Callen is home today bc his daycare likes to shut down for training days and give us only a few days’ notice

there is not a calendar I can reference on the app. so every time we’re just like. well. guess we’re working half days

anyway we’ve discovered a YouTube channel that teaches colors and the alphabet via cartoon monster trucks. it’s coming in clutch

pun intended

It's so wild to me that daycares are just Like This

my coworker sent his 3 year old to a summer camp daycare and they closed if it got too hot and I they paid for the summer and like half the days were just closed

honks my clown nose

basically

today at the play cafe

Callen served up a feast made to a smile on my face

what a cook

maeket

I am. going to be nice to myself today.

and not go to the gym bc I missed yesterday, or do any intense cooking projects

I will just Be, because I haven't had a chance to do that since Friday

gonna get roids for my cough. my lungs are gonna be so jacked

HUGE AND POWERFUL LUNGS

RRAAAAAA

make sure they titrate you off of them and dont cold turkey. i recently was not advised to do that and it made me sick

other than that steriods make a huge difference

aaaa no it's a tapered dose thing

ok good can confirm there's a reason they do that lol

steroids confirmed working. my cough is GONE

YEAAAH

hell yeah, strong lungs!!

the toy catalogs have arrived

savoring this as the last year probably that he can look at them and not understand the toys in them are real and can be acquired. rn they’re just cool pictures

but we’re getting some good ideas based on what makes him go mama mama mama mama!! And point

gonna go pick up sterlings ashes shortly. I’m prepared to be a mess

ruined as predicted. They got the perfect fur clipping.

I’ve missed her so much this week

tearing up for you over here. that's a lovely little tribute

she’s on the mantle next to Dixie

that's so beautiful cami, i'm glad they could get that to you x

aw that’s lovely

sweet little paw

uggh Fuck

the way I almost instantly burst into tears when I saw this

(we're not even going to start looking until after our Thanksgiving trip but just The Sight Of Him)

BOOTS,,,,

mr vice president......

the only reason we might avoid another black cat is because if they're too Sterling shaped I will be destroyed over and over

I love black cats but she just had such a presence

but I hope someone will adopt Boots

very brainhamsters today. trying to harness them into something useful while it lasts

making cookies

face red from screaming because he couldn’t grab one off the hot baking sheet

it's hard to be that cute and not invulnerable to heat

ohhhh my gosh how cute

he’s really good at saying “coo-kie” too

how surprising that he picked this particular word up so quickly.

houseguest

baby

new burrows to explore

cami is a god among men for letting me and june move in for 24 hours due to unexpected treating my building with heavy duty bug spray

what would I do without pippin alerting me every time he remembers you exist

this is so white woman bougie of me but istg I'm being gaslit by the guys we pay to deal with our yard quarterly

a while back I sent this pic to their dispatcher office like hey would someone be able to deal with this, I would like the grass removed so the shrub surrounding it doesn't have to share the space

last time they were here they didn't touch it. I'm like ok maybe they didn't have time, whatever

so they come here today and I meet them at the door, take them round to the backyard and show them this situation and I describe again what I would like: for the grass (tall) to be gone, and for the leaves (short, white-edged) to remain. as far as I'm aware this isn't an especially complicated request

I go out to check later and I notice they have trimmed down the shrub part so the leaves are all along the ground. I go out again and I'm like hey!! what you did looks very neat but please REMOVE THE GRASS ENTIRELY (bolded for my emphasis)

he goes ok! I'll do that right now!!

the guys leave, I wave them off, I'm not gonna keep bothering them

I saw the guy working on it so I'm like ok surely he did it this time. but I go out and

me rn

I'm going to just dig it up myself because i'm tired of dealing with it but like What Is Happening, have I lost my mind, AITA

what on earth lmfgkfgj

like? hello???

maybe they're big ornamental grass fans and are silently protesting its removal

it is very healthy but like if you don't want it there you don't want it there, end of

yeah some of the struggle of doing yard/garden stuff here has been not fully understanding the intent behind some of the stuff that was planted by previous owners

I don't really know why this specific thing happened or if it was on purpose

but I would like to do something else with the space

lol WHY

today on “why is my toddler crying”: he wanted me to peel an orange for him and I did

I’m having myself committed I can’t deal with today

i’m dying at these grass pics

trucks

we are friends

do they think grass means whatever plant is closest to the ground

I??? Guess?
