I had a dream the other night that someone sent me exactly $194, and I'm still trying to figure out wtf was up with that very specific number 🤣

I really don't think I can spend another week and a half trying to keep up with the amount of laundry necessary with B only having two pairs of warm pajamas. If anyone could help out with $20 to get him a couple more sets, that would be amazing. Paypal.me/brokenqueene CA/V: brokenqueene

Not all men. Jesus Christ, don't you think women *know* that? Use your heads instead of getting defensive. Most of you would be terrified of swimming among sharks, even though sharks are stastically far less dangerous to you than men are to women.

I wish the molar B is working on would just hurry up and come in. I am so tired.

It finally started to cool off, about two weeks too early. We had just started getting B clothes in the next size up, so he has two warm sleepers that fit him, and Mommy has $4 in her bank account until the 8th. Just gonna have to do laundry every day, I guess.

Today in "I will get this child to eat a vegetable if it kills me": sweet potato pancakes with pureed peas, carrots, and spinach in them. His vegetable issue is about touching them, and everything is finger food right now, so this might work.

Do they not make the big popcorn tins with the three flavors in them anymore, or am I just a little too early? B has gotten obsessed with banging his toys against the stove and I really need to give him something safer to do that with that will make the same noise.

I've been trying to teach B to say "uh-oh," by dropping something over and over and saying "uh-oh" every time. He has not said it, but he is saying "again," again, so a win is a win. I just want him to get back the words he already had and learn a few new ones.

Like a million years ago (okay, 20) I used to have this really soft sweater that I loved that had bell sleeves and a V neck and it was my favorite, but the color was all wrong for me, like a yellowish cream color. I wore the shit out of it anyway.

Me to the baby: Look, kid, if you wanted eggs and sausage and toast for breakfast, you shouldn't have taken FOUR HOURS to go back to sleep after I got off work this morning. Eat your Cheerios.

I don't typically disparage people for their height or anything else they can't control, but the jerky cowprker made some shitty comment to me, then the subject of height came up and I told him he has the personality of a 5'7" man, and now he's defending that he's 6'0" like his honor depends on it 💀

I spent months tripping over the baby gate in my office doorway, but tonight we moved it to the end of the hall and now I'm tripping over nothing in the doorway because I keep expecting the gate to be there.

B is making a little progress talking. Still mostly babbling, but the babbles are starting to mean things. "Ma ma ma ma" when he's in his high chair means "more more more." "Na na na na na" pretty much always means "night night." But my favorite thing is I say "I love you" and he says "too." 😅

Sometimes I look back at the last year and a half — preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications, PPD/NICU PTSD, and perimenopause all at the same goddamn time...and I'm just very impressed that I'm still employed, still houses, still married, did not have a complete mental breakdown.

Amy @shadowqueene.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

B doesn't like eating veggies because everything is a finger food and veggies are wet. So we're baking them into some cornbread to see if that helps dry them out so he'll eat them. If that doesn't work, I'll mix puree into it next time, but I'd rather try the solid version first. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I went too long without eating and got a headache. So then I ate and I got 🌟 a different headache 🌟 probably from the salt. Bodies were a mistake.

We're down to 4oz of formula in B's bedtime bottle, with whole milk for the other 5oz, and watered down milk for the two smaller bottles he gets in a day. Next week 4oz becomes 2oz, and the week after, we're done!!! Returning the last unopened can tomorrow, and I'll never have to buy formula again.

I resent a lot of things about AI in creative spaces. But the thing that I hate the most is that a year or two ago, if I saw something cool on the internet, I DIDN'T HAVE TO QUESTION whether or not human effort created it. I could appreciate what an achievement it was that a person could do that.

I was already having a crappy day. Headache, barely slept, fussy kiddo. And then I woke up to a voicemail that we still owe the anesthesiologist $483 from B's surgery. Get in line, buddy, I can't even make my car payment right now.

Apparently green beans spark in the microwave and that's just normal? I have never seen that happen before, and it scared the crap out of me, especially in the year of our recall 2026

B squeezed his yogurt pouch all over the high chair tray, so now he has dry toast squares to dip in it so he can still eat it. Because Mommy is a problem solver, lol

B got a new shape sorter. His favorite way to play with it at the moment is to take the lid off, place all the blocks in one at a time, and then put the lid back on. He looks so proud of himself. Good job, little dude! 😅

I think I might let B try chili tonight, the same way he has tacos. Lightly seasoned meat, with beans and star pasta and diced tomatoes and cheese cubes as finger foods because he won't eat anything he can't squish 🤣

I woke up at 6am with a stabbing pain in my ear and a little bit of pain when I swallowed. Took some ibuprofen, went back to sleep once B was asleep again, and just woke up with no pain. So maybe just jaw irritation or something and not the ear infection I was worried about. 🤞🏻

Our department head (yep, the one who said no shift differential for me despite everyone else on nights getting one) sat in on our team meeting yesterday "just to put faces to names" and I am very uncomfortable about it, given the way everything else is going.

I had to get new slippers, and I just want to say to whoever decided that was a good place for the tag, I hope there's a surprise pile of LEGOs next to your bed every time you get up to pee in the middle of the night.

A pair of purple slippers with fuzzy white lining. The tag is on the inner edge where it rubs against the bottoms of the feet when worn.
