I spent a lot of years as a coffee evangelist, but after realizing I kind of hate coffee flavor a couple months ago, EARL GREY IS LIFE

It really feels unfair to play with a toddler hard all afternoon only for them to nope out at bedtime. I did that so you’d pass out! Now I feel like passing out and you’re here partying. Ughhhhhhhhh

I know JB Pritzker's going to be tempted but I hope he runs for president instead.

My child legit says “gagagaga!!! Goo… gooo… gagaga!!” So it’s not just a cartoon thing, I guess.

This Saturday night, I have placed an order for a very specific spatula spoon from H-E-B curbside pickup for when I’m in Houston next weekend because it’s the only place I can find the very specific one my toddler loves

Pizza Hut!

I get the stylistic choice of it, but why are all the cars in Severance from the 90s or earlier? The rest of the show’s technology feels more modern.

I extremely do not need to know when a shipping label has been created. Not worth the shipping update. Stop doing this.

This just in: our neighbors who went on vacation shortly after Christmas have finally returned and the Christmas lights that have shone down our hallway for three and a half months are FINALLY OFF

A few photographers need to hear this, including some that have been given gallery space in our local museum: slapping the "oil painting" Photoshop filter (as old as the program itself, it feels like) on your photo is not Good Art.

Will never forgive prednisone for what it did to my face when my body was able to run 13 miles

I think we’re past the point of “false spring” and are now onto “surprise winter”

They 👏 are 👏 engaging 👏 in 👏 it 👏

Since we’re celebrating @corybooker.com today, here’s when he came to Houston in 2018 and was so inspiring and put a second wind under our organizers’ wings. Amazing watching him today. Congrats @booker.senate.gov and team!

Gonna need ALL the good vibes this weekend. I have some help coming in for a couple nights, but will be more or less solo parenting for the first time while Joe runs across Texas for four nights 😬

This morning’s Washington post headlines newsletter really reads like a movie. Not sure if it’s a comedy or a thriller or…

Update! I didn't have time for this!

So desperately want to be able to “choose ease” but jfc I don’t think that is compatible with toddlers

In a busy and hectic life, the greatest gift your spouse can give you might just be the blessing to watch a tv show without them (finally gonna start Severance season 2 this weekend!!)

I am trying to imagine a situation where I could've done something to prevent my child's death, but instead, I doubled down on what I didn't do to prevent his death and encouraged others to also not prevent the same heartbreak.

This town has the most amateur newspaper that doesn't actually cover "news." I absolutely hate it. We have to rely on local Facebook gossip groups. Police blotter hasn't been updated since last May...

~24 hours til I renew my Apple TV subscription so I can watch all of Severance Season 2 in one go (hahahaha that's a joke, my child makes binging shows impossible)

Have a cold… and in an hour and a half, my 1-year-old will come home and be furious about also having a cold but not knowing how to blow his nose. Time to take it easy until then…

Can we PLEASE 👏 STOP 👏 LAUGHING 👏 AWKWARDLY 👏 WHEN 👏 WE 👏 SAY 👏 SORRY 👏 I 👏 WAS👏 ON 👏 MUTE👏 ?!?!?!

When are bleached eyebrows and microbangs going to be over? 😩

Today IG gave me a reel where a parenting expert said toddlers “have one marble and a few tumbleweeds rolling around up there, they’re all feet and no brains” which, despite my desire to be a child honoring (thanks Raffi) gentle parent (thanks everyone else) I found hilarious and true

Bought a mailbox a few months ago. I keep getting marketing emails from the company to get me to buy more mailboxes. I think I'm good with just the one???

Do people just not understand that federal employees also put money back into the economy?

Were any other women awakened on this, International Women’s Day, by their husband at 5:30am so he could express frustration about how the smart thermostat wasn’t working? Just me?

How did this kid just manage to get slobber INSIDE my nose 😩
