Spoiler alert: the trenches have only gotten deeper somehow and I really should have known that I was not cut out to be a good mother.

He also emailed three times within a span of 17 mins to ask to move the meeting to tomorrow, again to say never mind because he moved things around and can meet tonight, and then again to say nvm the nvm can we still move it to tomorrow. 😐🫠🫥

Fun follow up: I offered to be flexible and meet tonight. Two hours before our meeting, *that* group member emailed us asking to move the meeting to tomorrow. Which is interesting because he said earlier this week that he had an appointment and wasn’t available tomorrow.

I HATE GROUP PROJECTS.

So now the only option that works for the three of four group members who have participated is literally tonight. Which means I have to either change my availability after being VERY clear about it in the beginning, or hope that the last group member is available tonight on short notice.

Like, my guy. Did you read the availability that I gave you in the first email?!

Please for the love of god, tell me why you scheduled things for two of the three weeknight options I gave within 48 hours of saying you were available “any weekday evening after 6pm”.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Group member 2: FYI, I am located on the east coast so would 10pm EST work on Mon (today), Tues, or Thurs?

Group member 1: I have appointments on Tues and Thurs now but the other days still work.

Me, to the void: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Me: hey everyone let’s find a time for our first meeting. I am available Mon, Tues, or Thurs evenings each week or directly before or after our Saturday class time.

Group member 1: I’m available all day tomorrow (Sunday) or week any day after 6pm.

(Ok, well Sunday wasn’t an option but whatever…)

I fucking hate group projects.

Distinct lack of men kissing passionately after this gold medal win for USA hockey.

Doing well. Living our best lives as feral children 😂

Gee, why didn’t I think of that?! 😂😂

Michelle, what’s it like having a toddler? So happy you asked… here is a recent interaction.

George: I want two crackers please!
Me: You got it! *hands him two crackers*
G: *starts crying* No, I wanted two crackers!!
Me: But I… what? You have two crackers. One, two.
G: *cries harder*
Me: 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️

SCIENCE IS TORTURE WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS I WANT TO JUST BE HOT AND DUMB

how covering JSN must feel

Well one small joy in this hellscape is nice. Go Hawks!

Kraken Suite night

Any time. 🙂

Welcome to the club.

TOUCHDOWN SEAHAWKS! Rashid Shaheed returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown! Great start, 12s!

@seahawks @nfl @nflonfox

Presents got wrapped. Had a slow morning of opening gifts and playing with each one. House is still a disaster but hearts (and sinuses) are full.

Thank you. I am trying. Just such crappy timing.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I needed a laugh and this was it

Miserably sick for Christmas. Had to cancel every plan. I’m so exhausted and I hate this. Behind on everything in the world. House is a disaster. Not a single present wrapped. Taking a break from work was supposed to let me catch up but I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing.

Let me tell you that it was absolutely SHOCKING how little they had for merch at the first home game. They are drastically underestimating interest and demand.

I hope that KDB is healthy and FIFA parks Belgium in Seattle for two group stage matches, and then they win their group, and then they win the round of 32, and then I get to watch KDB play in person FOUR times.

Going to have a surge of hep B in a few years, just FYI.

Celebrating my first day of a month of leave from work with the world cup draw, knitting, and an espresso martini. Grateful to be in a position to take a month of leave unpaid because my god, I need it so badly. Cheers to a relaxing holiday season and interesting WC groups!

Seems like literally yesterday! Thanks for bringing Hiba to Seattle! 🥰

I am really really in the trenches of motherhood right now and I am not sure how to get through this. Everything feels so fucking hard.

We will definitely give them a try!
