It's been a week since my whole life broke apart.

They already sold TWENTY-EIGHT. That's 28 sales I should have had. I am SO UPSET.

Watching spouse watch tv:"u can really just lay there and not move?" "What" "u can just lay still & not have ur hands tapping out a beat or ur feet clapping under the blanket?Or ur toes wiggling&rubbing against each other or ur foot shaking?u can just be still?" "Um.yes?" Me: O.O

Henry: "Mama, why do u have a coffee mug that says Not Paint Water?" Me: "Because sometimes I confuse the paint water and the coffee." Henry: "Ok.but... there is paint water in that cup right now." Me: "I was painting & needed some water." Henry: "Mama. YOU HAVE PROBLEMS."

Henry: "when this movie is over I'm going sky diving." Me: "Baby, you cried when you fell down one stair yesterday." Henry: "That was accidental."

I think I'm going to make a sign that says "Hello! Your drug dealer doesn't live here anymore. We bought the house and we are very boring. We don't even do the weeds. We don't have a forwarding address."

"You look younger than you are" Me, awkward at humaning: "well the fat fills out my wrinkles and I've spent a lifetime out of the sun because my dad died of skin cancer."

My Shouty Thursday is that I made significantly less on patreon this month and it is my main source of income and the damn holidays are coming. I am stressed.

All I want for the holidays is for you to join my pay tree on. (But only if you can spare the dollar.) Because I really can be delightful. (Sometimes.) And we have a lovely group and you can collect stickers and tiny arts and coloring pages too! Patreon.com/jonirae

Henry (8) just woke up and asked me what year it was. That must have been a deep sleep last night.

For context, My mother in law gave me this pretty little basket box made of cloves... what do I do with it? Fill it with my children's teeth. PS I dropped it on my bed trying to take these pics and tiny teeth spilled all over my hand and that is as creepy a feeling as it sounds

Me to my husband: "I can't believe I spilled a basket full of teeth in our bed tonight." Husband: "Let's hope you got them all."

Internet person: "YOU ONLY GOT A HOME BECAUSE PEOPLE HELPED YOU BECAUSE YOU POSTED ABOUT IT ON YOUR PAGE." Yes. That is indeed what happened. 🤷‍♀️

Our little work buddy. He is so pleased to be supervising.

Untreated chronic illness means almost every day is a no bones day. I'd like some universal healthcare please.
