Fun text husband just sent: Him: So the exhaust on the RAV fell off and is hanging on by the hanger Me: WTF Him: Heard a tink tink tink as I was driving on 787 on to 7

The boy, age 11, had friends over the other day. They hung out in the basement. Come down last night looking for something and the workspace was a mess. The boy cleaned it up. Came down this a.m. and my mouse was missing w/o a trace. Took me 2 hours to realize I was sitting on it 🤦‍♀️

ADHD is “haha everything’s fine” followed quickly by “if one (1) more tiny thing happens i will die of overwhelm”

MIL: You can't put that pan in the dishwasher Husband: Why? Where does it say that? MIL: I've never seen it in there Husband: Wut?? Explain MIL: I've never seen it in there Husband: WUT?? MIL: I've never seen it in there Me: By that logic, I've never been to Mexico so it doesn't exist

So wait... the package I'm waiting for was near its destination... and decided it needed one last road trip before coming home??

Back on this bs... but now I'm 2-3 wks w/o my meds and no one besides me seems to give a shit

MIL has lived with us for over a year. OVER A YEAR. Daughter switches to shorts before heading out to the bus. MIL: You're allowed to wear shorts?! We weren't. Me and Daughter:

Yesterday... MIL: Who is [daughter] playing against? Hubs and me: Ichabod Crane MIL: Where is that? Me: Valatie MIL: Is that by Hudson Valley? Me: No, Valatie is in Valatie

Husband bought 2 ridiculously large stock pots, both were needed*. There's nowhere to logically store them and it's pissing me off. I say as much and he hears "excuses". How's your Monday starting? * I asked for a deep stock pot to do boiled dinners. I get one that's serves half a military base

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Learned some Big Time Tea about one of my nephews this weekend and now I'm all

@chuckwendig.bsky.social!!! So much uncaffeinated squeeing before 630 a.m.!!!!!

My niece is getting married in 2 weeks. I just booked our room TODAY. (mostly) direct quote from person helping me: "Wow! I can't believe there are rooms left!" (to be fair, probably 90-95% of their guest list is local and won't need a room but still, wow)

::me, brining an energy drink down to Mordor/The Dungeon/The Bat Cave:: Him: What are you drinking this a.m.? Me: An energy drink, because harder drugs are illegal

Back from 5 days of camping. It was a good, soggy time but y'all... I am TIRED. Like, deep in my marrow tired

Me: [Friends] will be camping with us MIL: At Thompson’s Lake too? Reader, we will be camping at Thompson’s Lake. She knows this. #NonSequiturMIL

"You're too young for menopause" Bitch, listen...

Parenthood in a nutshell

Idle scrolling thru my feed at 630 a.m. cuz the meds haven't hit my system yet and I've come to a decision... .... when I remember to, I need to tag the unhinged things my MIL says with #NonSequiturMIL

MIL: Where is Apex? Me: Downstairs near the movie theater MIL: On the second floor?

Am I eating potato chips for breakfast? I'm a grown up, of course I am. Might wash 'em down with a donut later. Just try and stop me!

Me tonight to everyone about everything

MIL (finally) getting her roof done. Should have happened a decade ago but what do we know? Based on what husband has seen and what roofers are now reporting, things are Not Looking Good for MIL. Time to load up the place with fireworks and make it go boom

My *super healthy* lunch today is leftover birthday cake and ice cream. Don't judge. It's probably better than your lunch
