I got a welcome email from my daughter's new school (she's about to start Kindergarten at a K-8). On the supply list, it said to bring in an extra change of clothes/underwear for K students. She fortunately hardly ever has accidents, but just the thought of sending my tiny girl to a "big kid" school (with middle schoolers!) at an age when she COULD still be having accidents just sent me over the edge
It doesn't help that Facebook has been feeding me a bunch of TSwift "Never Grow Up" reels and I've been listening to the song on repeat. So yeah, bawling at my desk...
DH and I went to see Anna Tivel and Jeffrey Martin perform last weekend; they’re both folksy singer-songwriters from Portland, OR, where I used to live. They sang a duet about babies that went something like, “I hope you learn how strong you are because it’s a cruel, cold world” and I was audibly sobbing in public. Oops. Guess I’m pregnant!
My wife told me I should consider changing jobs to another school district that is closer to home and pays a lot more. Seems like a great idea but I love my job and where I’m at and I’ve worked so hard to save up leave for maternity time off so I started crying when she suggested it.
A song came on the radio yesterday as I was driving my daughter to daycare from Billy Elliott and I started bawling my eyes out. Then I told my husband about it when he got home from work and started bawling again. The radio is a dangerous place lol.
I was upset about news headlines yesterday (go figure) and fighting off yet another headache, but what brought the tears was mid-rant when my husband hugged me and said “what do you want from Dunkin? It will help with the headache right?” He haaaates coffee shops too, that was purely for me. Immediate tears 😭
I dropped all my coupons in the grocery store without realizing it. Couldn't find them anywhere when I went back to look. Had to find an empty aisle to cry in. 🙄
My newly discovered health problems and the unknown shape my poor baby is in because of them. Hopefully will find out the 28th but it’s such a long wait! Trying to not think about it. Also the song “don’t worry bout it” by wande gets me really upset and I don’t know why lmao. It’s such an upbeat positive song.
