Took my oldest to get a pre-7th grade fresh haircut today. I keep seeing posts of people going to farmers markets, and thrifting with their moms. Having brunch and making jokes about being the first person they call is always their mom. It tugs at my heart that I never had the opportunity to have that kind of relationship with my mom, but it hits me today that I get to have that AS someone’s mom. We get to ride in the car listening to our favorite podcast, they shares their favorite memes and gifts me little knitted sunflowers and stickers. This is 1000% better than wishing for something that could never happen. I’m so full of pride for the person my Ellie is becoming, and so excited and happy that they want me to be there for all of it too. Middle school is hard, even harder when you don’t have people that have your back. Ellie will always have that with me and @Jeff Richardson

This is so good!

My little punk rock baby starts middle school in two weeks. What even is that? I remember starting 7th grade and being so nervous and wanting to seem all grown up. I hope this year is absolutely incredible for her. She deserves all the amazing things.

This book was so good! I'm ready to watch the movie now.

I have one shift left on my cardiac ICU contract in Tulsa and I’ve learned a lot in these last 13 weeks. . I’m tired and I’m judging three month younger me for this decision. . I’m actually quite smart and great under pressure, but also- . I need a nap, don’t anyone ask me what a cardiac index is, or a ficks calculation components, or what cm marking the swan is at, or what my patient’s admission weight in kg was. I’d like to do brain rot things for the next three months in contrast. That is all. Side note- these decomposition notebooks are rad and I’d like all the colors please.
