OMG Miranda....I could've written every word (except the class with Rachel Yoder! Jello) but holy moly...I am feeling ALLLLLL those feels right now too. I keep trying to find the solution, but so far the only relief I've found is when another drowning mom waves at me from under the water.
yes to that! after I posted this I walked to school pick up with nellie snoozing on my shoulder (totally out of the ordinary for her) and all the moms gathered around to pet her back and ask how she was feeling. It was such a sweet village-y moment and it helped so much
I too have been victimized by time!!! Also omg how amaze to a) be taking a class w Yoder and b) naturally miss half of it bc you’ve been ground down to a nub
I realized I'm being a perfectionist about it, too, like if I can't do the homework I should just skip class. I am trying to make peace with getting less from the class than I wish I could (less than she's offering because of the nub thing) but at least if I show up and just absorb what she's saying it'll be more than if I didn't go at all. I skimmed part of the Pillow Book instead of scrolling my phone b/c of the class, and that alone was a nice kick in the pants.
I’m about to turn 45 and wholeheartedly disagree with this study (ha). (Although I’m sure it’s my fault infertility pushed my child rearing years out a decade…?)
Dang it! I was about to load up my 2029 calendar with all the creative work I can't seem to find time for in 2025. I guess it's back to the drawing board
A four day weekend immediately following spring break is a hate crime
THANK YOU. I’ve know about it for weeks but I remain stunned
I was gonna say domestic terrorism! Maybe both.

So disappointed to report that I am 46 and still do not seem to have any more time than I did when I was 35-44 😭😭😭
unbelievably relatable! hang in there (for many many years).
Also contemplating the yawning of expanse of summer to fill w activities, I must share this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGUyCHCsyK6/?igsh=eW1rYWF3azI2Y2Zu

Stolen moment while playing dinosaurs. Feel this very much and look forward to more.
☠️ after that last paragraph. How do you know these things?
😂I’d rather not say
I kind of want so busy so bored tattooed on my wrist. Then I can just flash it to people when they ask how I am.
Ooo. A real time saver, too, which is key

So excited to be 45 someday
