I sliced the tip of my thumb in HALF with a sharp knife while doing the most simple bread cut, but I’m keeping it a seeecret. because I won’t be trusted with sharp knives anymore.

These are mind games of my marriage

Updated indication of wealth: do you use Draino (only 3 uses per jug!!) or a mania drain snake to unclog the shower and sink drains? we have Draino in the closet but I can’t bring myself to use it when I have the plastic piece.

when I transfer out of my wheelchair, it is (not sarcastically) always fun to see what kinds of food, drink, lotions, toy pieces, etc. make it onto my seat and under my butt. Tonight I found chip crumbs and Lego pieces. we didn’t play with Legos today? but LORD ALMIGHTY DID WE EAT SOME CHIPS

with how often Malachi whacks me in the face with his toys and body (play!!), I’m surprised he only just gave me the first black eye. The night before a Christmas party 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I can’t believe how much I love that boy
