A parent's forgetfulness is all fun jokes and calendar reminders until suddenly you're hit with the news that it's likely much more serious than you thought.

Jasper is super into Dad's show and he doesn't care that he's blocking the screen. ๐คฃ
Never thought I'd be talking to my 12 year old daughter about smegma and circumcisions but here we are. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Middle school is that weird age range where the kids at the bus stop look either one of two ways: like they're about to go to kindergarten or they're about to go get a mortgage. There is no in-between.
Normalize complimenting your kids. They need it and so do you. ๐
Today, my best description of AuDHD is this: I know the tune but not the words.
My AuDHD likes to make me panic way earlier than I need to for an event and then panic about not remembering later when I should panic.
FYI my husband suggested setting a reminder on the Alexa. And I've done it. So I'm only dealing with mild panic now. The "dreading it" panic.
I love nothing more than to annoy my 11 year old daughter with a fly by twerking. Considering the amount of times she's done it to me I feel like it's more than fair. ๐
No one talks about the absolute feeling of ick when accidentally sitting on a toilet lid bare bottomed.
Testing out new ways to say goodbye to my husband whenever I leave a room we're both in. So far, his favorites seem to be "I must away!", and wild claims that I will only speak in song and then proceed to dramatically make up lyrics to the tune of some song I can't remember the name of as I leave.
I just realized that since hubby and I work from home and we're constantly together that I now say bye to him on a regular basis whenever I leave the room we're both in. Not our house. Just the room. Thinking back, this probably started about 4 years ago. Must have been at some point during COVID.
Things that annoy me about Amazon: Hey, you just purchased this item in bulk that'll probably take you 10 years to use up but guess what? We've got more of this item and thought you'd be interested. Also, this happens with GrubHub and such. Oh, you just ordered food? Don't forget to order more food!
Thank you so much! ๐
As do you! Have a lovely evening/day, depending on where you are in your part of the world! ๐
He's incredible, thank you. ๐
I'm constantly amazed by my husband, who does things like follow aftercare instructions after having toenail surgery. Never thought I'd find that sexy, but here we are.
Who's gonna tell them? ๐
Had a rough day today so here's Mei Mei wondering why I'm folding laundry instead of leaving it out for her to enjoy.
One of our cats is addicted to what we call "bongo butts" but I'm sure other people call it different things. She's gotten so obsessed that it reminds me of dogs that get obsessed with the right pen light so I'm a little worried.
I'll just be here bongo-ing for the rest of my life, apparently. ๐
Just finished singing a ditty about chocolate muffins and my cats to the tune of "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. So thanks for that, Brain.
ADHD is weird when it's in charge.
I always forget something. *Awkwardly puts on pants in Starbucks parking lot*
I've had Pink Pony Club stuck in my head on repeat all day. Good song but I wish my brain would give me a break.
What about the Alien movies? And are there other genres that you enjoy as a family?
I want to go out and do all the things and also stay home and get organized but instead I'm paralyzed by the inability to make up my mind so I'm in bed trying to cocoon myself instead. AuDHD. Thanks! I hate it.
We're now using Mitch Hedberg humor deal with noisy apartment neighbors. "Go. Around."

Solid burn. 10/10, would laugh again.
My husband cleaned the house while I was out for a bit this morning so now I'm just sitting here thinking about how awesome he is. Totally innocent thoughts FYI.
Joe is in the recliner wearing a migraine ice pack with two cats on his lap.
Our babies always know when he's suffering from a migraine.
