30 is the new 21

Okay, maybe it's not and if I can be serious for a moment, I don't think I want to be 21 again. Like, ever.

That being said, my newest pet peeve in the infertility game is this wonderful line...

"Ms. Danielle, you're gonna be such a good mom.  Aren't you ever gonna have kids?"

Imma stop you right there -- I'm 29.  Granted, the odds aren't exactly in my favor, but I'm certainly not going through menopause again anytime soon.  Again, you ask?  Indeed.  Read more about my traumatic near-death experience here.  I think it's important to remember that I'm only 29 and it's not like I've been sittin' on my ass doing nothing.  I've got 24 kids that I'm responsible for every day... and I get to send them home at the end of the day.

And really?  Unless you're prepared to be with me every time I have to pull my shit back together after a negative pregnancy test, maybe just don't say anything at all.

I found this online tonight and cracked up.
It's SO FREAKING TRUE!

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
