I haven’t been on here in so long. I hope you’re all well.
cw: brief mention of self-injurious behaviour from a child, no details.
First day back at school for A tomorrow and I’m dreading it. Her new teacher is super quiet and seems timid, I hope she proves me wrong. When I mentioned Al’s self-injurious behaviours she seemed to shrink, how the fuck is she going to cope when I mention Al’s recent thing of randomly shouting things about p*nis*s?
🙈
tw/cw: snakes (no pics)
Al’s current favourite thing, her favourite thing ever actually, is snakes. She stumbled upon a YouTube channel a fair few months ago and she has been well into her snake facts and care videos since. This is the most interested I’ve seen her in anything. She’s even telling her teachers what she knows, she never shares her knowledge so this is her achieving some kind of personal breakthrough. I’ve taken her to reptile shops at least weekly and I’ve watched more snake care videos with her than I ever thought was possible. And now I’ve been convinced we need a snake as our first pet. At first I was pure nope, then she pointed out that they’re not fluffy, noisy, smelly or slimy (so that’s Al’s sensory issues taken care of 🙌), they only need feeding once a week or so, and they never need to be walked in the rain. SOLD. She knows the way to her lazy mama’s heart. So yeah, we should be getting one when we come back from holiday in July.

I know they ~say~ people viewing your profile doesn’t influence your suggested friends, but my best friend is suddenly getting Nath’s mum and his sister’s partner popping up on her suggested friends/messenger suggestions. I’ve had them blocked for a few years, they’ve never contacted each other, and she doesn’t even have Nath as a fb friend (and he doesn’t have them on fb but does message his mum on there every now and then). Seems iffy.
Ez turns 3 tomorrow.
How was his birth 3 years ago? The time has flown by.
I feel awful for complaining about things my kids can’t help but fucking hell I don’t know how I’m not cry-screaming most of the time each day lately. Not knowing what to do to help is the worst. Nath’s lucky I’m not booking myself on a cruise. We tried an extra curricular club today, at attendee kid’s request, and the shitstorm I witnessed after made me want to snog the face off of ten-days-ago-me for not paying out for a term at the more expensive club a few miles away. And the other kid is refusing to use the loo. Fabulousness all round.
Life update because I got some messages asking if I’m alive:
I’m alright, Ez keeps swearing (all in context, should be a developmental milestone), Al is very into facts about animals, Al has had an official diagnosis (did I post about that? idek), Nath’s doing well at work, our families are still the same, we really need a car but finances says nope. That’s about it. Follow me on ig/twitter for more recent complaints and me praising my awesome kids, because you know that’s all I ever did anyway…
You know freebie lists, the lists of 5 people you’d sleep with if it was possible while you’re in a relationship? Turns out N’s is all celebrities and mine (minus one) are all people I see almost every day. No wonder I’m so awkward around people, probably subconsciously stopping myself getting the hots for them. 🙄
Oh my GODD

Had a friend from the school round, sprayed furniture polish like air freshener so it was less noticeable that I’d just wiped everything over with a sock five minutes before her arrival. Winning at adulting, clearly.
I’m popping back to London in a few days for 5 days and I’m already dreading the week after. Going to try to enjoy myself and not phone to ask how things are going hourly. 😭
