I love a re-delegation text. My parents texted me on two separate occasions this week to remind me I can't clean the litter boxes whilst pregnant, and I said, "seems like something you should text the person who can." So satisfying to send them away.
One of my favorites is my friend who reassured her husband who had a lot of concern about a task she gave him, "I have full faith in you that you can do this."
This is why sometimes I just look at a dirty towel on the floor for a long time and leave it there because if I touch it it will just set off a whole chain reaction
I know this is not the point but never have I been so glad I overrode our contractor's skepticism and insisted on jamming the washing machine into the kitchen.
OMG genius. The last load of laundry was all dirty dog foot/barf towels and napkins and dishtowels, stuff that LIVES in the kitchen but has to go on a little vacation downstairs to get clean.
Currently staying with my brother and have never been more grateful to live in a single storey home (although our laundry is outside... you can throw stuff into the machine (top loader) from the kitchen door 😂). This mornings adventure... let me just prep the entire melon before I make breakfast for me and the baby then that’ll save time later, then I’ll take the baby downstairs for a shower before I clean the high chair, but oh no the 8 year old has blocked the toilet, and there’s a pile of towels that need washing, but I need to hang the wet washing first... guess what, the high chair still isn’t clean 🥴

Oh, the tyranny of the basement.

Doing the minutes "as a treat" made my eyes water.
Two sets of stairs is just one too many 😞
Laundry, cooking or dishes... the trifecta of “how has my life come to this?”
Is this... is this not just me...
Catching up on Substack but I have never been more seen. Does this mean I have ADHD?? Or am just always thinking of everything we need to do??
no you are just living the dream, having it all!

The highchair will never be clean.
