:(

Um, I had a pretty bad mental breakdown when my youngest was bw 6month-8months old. What I found helped was carefully tracking my sleep and trying to prioritize a 7h+/night 5 day rolling average above everything else (#1priority!). But it was pretty hard to do (worked tho!)

I do love my lists!!

What do y'all do with all the nervous energy that keeps you up at night? I assume this is a commong thing everyone has, and I just haven't figured out how to deal with?

Enjoy losing sleep for the next few weeks lol

Sorry :(

Well one of them is basically done and 2 are picture books 🤣, so I guess that's why haha

Hoping to publish 4 books! Haha we shall see 😅

I still have it on my tablet and personal laptop haha. I use it for my writing group and events and stuff, but I don't want it in my pocket anymore 😅

Reached my Goodreads 2023 reading challenge of 50 books. #1 highlight was Immune by Philipp Dettmer. Because yes, I do want a funny geek explain the most complicated human system to me through analogies that actually make sense.

I deleted Facebook off my phone for 2024! It's been 45 minutes and I think I might cave... #FBaddict #sendhelp

Happy New Year! Went to bed at 10PM, woke up at midnight to loud party people amd listened to fireworks outside for the next hour... am I doing this right?

I don't know how Bluey manages to make me cry in under 7 minutes so successfully all the time. S3E43 Dragon is one I haven't sat thru without tears yet.

Yuy is sitting at a desk with a computer monitor in the background. She has an art tablet and pen in hand. She is working an illustration of a little girl in pigtails.

I should have a happier face on, but at 5:30AM, I struggle to appear happy. Trying to develop better habits of putting my own personal projects first, literally. #atomichabits #5amclub

Getting black friday emails allows me to collectively see all the places I've subscribed to and be able to systematically unsubscribe to mailing lists 👍👍

Listening to the hubby orchestrate bathtime: "Don't drink the water! It's salty butt tea!" #lifewithtoddlers

I'm tired of trying to come up with something profound. Sometimes I am just messing around and trying to make it to tomorrow, y'all...

The feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and general unease has been consuming my days the last 2 weeks. Soliciting advise. Let me know how you get out of a slump.

Me: What do you get when you pee in the potty?
2yo: A treat!
Me: What do you get when you pee in your diaper?
2yo: Wet!

The secret to getting enough sleep: Go to bed at 9PM with your kids and tell yourself you'll get up at 5AM to work out... and then don't. 👍 Works everytime.
