I Would Have Been a TERRIBLE
mother in my 20’s. I didn’t want kids. I hated them. I was terrified of accidental pregnancy. I had nightmares about it. I wasn’t engaged in behavior that would result in accidental pregnancy, it...
Feeling Self Conscious
I can’t remember the last time I felt it this strongly. I finally met an older woman yesterday after months of email and then mail correspondence. I had hoped to find a friend, homeschool co-op ...
The Rainbow
Was a reminder of God’s covenant with man. After God destroyed all humanity except for those who kept the law. It’s now paraded ironically with pride for what God labeled an abomination. And it’s...
The Uncomfortable,
no-good, hated, derided, and name-called truth about parenting; your kids’ actions are your fault. Yes, parents, your child’s actions, decisions, behaviors, choices, are all your fault. I’m open...
New Bed Canopy
Lexi does not like it when I type on the computer :’) hence no entries Wanted to jot down my experience of the first night sleeping under the EMF blocking bed canopy. A few reasons we made that e...
Fun
Made this with my son yesterday And we’re telling “The Little Red Hen” rn (we focus on putting on lots of color and just vague shapes for our pictures)
I Should Write a Book
My parents always said I should. Ironically, that book will be largely a condemnation of their evil. Larger picture perspective is also deeply ironic. I was encouraged in my writing by my fathe...
Thoughts
As a science-minded person, I am cautious of bias. Specifically my own bias. I experience bias on a personal level. As in, if I haven’t actively tried to disprove a concept that is primarily or s...
Aw, SH*T
Banks collapsed. USDC unpegged. BTC pumped. In other news, the electricity is slowly making it’s way through the house. Currently half the kitchen has new 3-wire proper grounded conduit wiring....
Adult Children of
Emotionally Immature Parents needs a re-read. I have drafted a few letters to FIL only to discard them all. None of them were good. Either I went on too long explaining my stuff while pointing ...
Our house
Is so jank. It’s humorous in a way, if it were not for some real health hazards. We had one problem (of many) wherein our electrical was grounded to the plumbing. This causes a myriad of issues,...
I would recommend
Every mother to do some kind of pelvic floor physical therapy or exercise. Honestly it should be standard of care. The nameless nagging “stuff” that bothered me is gone. Even my knees feel better...
Thoughts
The violence of today is a pernicious shadow of the past. PT therapist (T) told me about her family a bit. Her husband taking her kids out to see his sister and mom. And T didn’t mind not going b...
I was There
Lately at PT therapist has talked about her kids. I’m surprised at the number of regrets that pour out of her. Seemingly without notice, without awareness, and with a sort of air of “it’s like th...
When is it Appropriate
To consider ear piercing for your daughter? The question is intriguing to me because the fact of body autonomy and informed consent is forefront in my mind. And when does a child have the degree ...
It's always something
I’m feeling kind of annoyed. It is so difficult to find people/institutions/individuals genuinely interested in the well being of others. I’m annoyed because, after feeling tired, low energy, h...
Church!?
Scream the atheists and Christians alike, when they discover I’m an atheist going to service. It’s not that weird, though. I mean, it’s unusual. But, logical. I needed to take seriously the warni...
The Present
It’s a funny thing. This is probably the most insane time to be alive in the history of humanity. Idk it seems that way to most people. Most people, sadly, believe the insanity and are themselve...
My grandma died
And I’m not sure how I feel about it. Nope. I do. I just don’t like it. I wish my grandma was a different person… That grief is still there and that means that I’m denying reality. When I sear...
There's a lot
On my mind atm. Yesterday my cousin messaged me. I know that I should not be surprised. She’s always been the same, even since a child. Well, I mean she’s older than me but, just saying she’s alw...
Tired
Poor Lexi Bird was up half the night not feeling well. Fortunately it was just gas (I think) and has fallen back to her normal routine now. I engaged in a very interesting conversation today abo...
Mom's group
Was pretty cool. There were 10 or so of us all at a house- all having had the same home birth midwife. That was the common point among us, but we definitely found lots more in common. The things...
Luggage
I don’t think that womb rental is a violation of the NAP. So, it’s not evil. But it is a class of vague human rights violations. An analogy might be the discovery of a totally secluded island po...
Choice
Is forever the standard. That which increases choice is inherently more virtuous. That which decreases choice is inherently more evil. I’ve written about this before, but it comes to mind again a...
Spheres of
Influence and concern. These have recently come to my attention as things I should be actively monitoring. This is an example of a major life changing piece of wisdom that every parent should be...
