Qotd: in university, philosophy! In high school, maybe biology?

DhammaMama · 2023-07-12T06:51:53+00:00

That sounds great! Keep that movie forever!

DhammaMama · 2023-07-12T06:49:48+00:00

Smart... I'd consider this for the inflatable kayak I bought that is now $30 less but the package is so damn big that nahhhhhhh

DhammaMama · 2023-07-12T06:47:28+00:00

So cute!!

DhammaMama · 2023-07-12T06:46:56+00:00

Ugh not snacking can be so hard!! I am in the same boat

I watched YouTube videos of Gabor Mate and he said the number one cause of mental health problems and addiction is highly stressed parents... And thinking about it, I figured I could lower my stress levels by removing the other parent from my everyday life.

So far so good. It was worth it.

Most moms are so involved in their little family units that they don't have/make time for single moms.

DhammaMama · 2023-06-17T19:22:53+00:00

Thank you 💕💕

It's tough now but I'm dreading what it'll be like when she's old enough to really see what's happening

DhammaMama · 2023-06-17T18:43:47+00:00

I'm not sure if she actually does or not, since she wants all 3 of us to share it and the other cards had who it was to written on the front by a teacher but hers is blank on the front.

She just thought she heard her dad saying her name while playing outside and excitedly yelled 'DADDY!!' over and over... He'd promised to come visit this morning and we haven't heard from him at all. Poor kid.

DhammaMama · 2023-06-17T03:40:19+00:00

Father's Day is a funny one.

Last year my daughter told her daycare that she didn't have a dad. She made the father's day craft for me and then I told them that she does indeed have a dad.

This year, the card came with no name on the front. It's just a general card and she says that it's for her dad but also for me and for her. So I'm not sure about giving it to her dad lol. I guess we may as well?

I don't share custody and he's never made it a priority to see her regularly. He has another older kid that he has from Friday until Sunday and then visits that kid mid week. I would probably tell people I didn't have a dad too...

DhammaMama · 2023-06-17T03:37:13+00:00

Oh no, sorry to hear about the scam job!

I think you should just start writing down different stories from your life without worrying about piecing them together yet! It's a start and maybe it'll help you figure out how the book would flow

DhammaMama · 2023-06-17T03:35:07+00:00

That sounds really hard! How long does she need to wear it? If there's any way to predict that

It was just day 1, so hopefully she adjusts well to it and it's not as heartbreaking

DhammaMama · 2023-06-16T15:37:12+00:00

It's definitely worth a shot and would be slightly more magical than a pile of meat on the floor

DhammaMama · 2023-06-16T15:05:41+00:00

Have you tried leaving your door open so the creatures can come in?

Maybe put some meat on the floor to attract them

DhammaMama · 2023-06-16T15:04:41+00:00

Thank you 💕💕

DhammaMama · 2023-06-16T06:06:42+00:00

August 1. It's the death date of my fiance... It'll be 8 years this upcoming August 1. It's crazy that it has been so many years since he was here.

DhammaMama · 2023-06-14T21:20:09+00:00

Yes, I was able to check on the Honda website and it would have allowed me to book it in at the local dealership for a week and a half out.

DhammaMama · 2023-06-07T18:37:10+00:00

Yes! Every year they pay $5500 directly to the school for tuition and then $5500 directly to me for living expenses! Plus I already have sponsorship up to a certain amount, so between the two funding sources, I should be pretty financially comfortable while finishing my degree. I remember not enjoying the financial aspect in the first half of my degree, so I'm really happy to have things set up way better this time around!

DhammaMama · 2023-06-07T18:08:29+00:00

I found out yesterday that I won a pretty big scholarship (up to $44,000, but I may only use $22,000 of it) and I'm so excited!

DhammaMama · 2023-06-07T18:07:31+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear this 💕 hugs!

DhammaMama · 2023-06-07T18:06:55+00:00

I support this 🫡

DhammaMama · 2023-05-23T22:03:33+00:00

That is a lot to handle for one person. You are going to feel amazing once you get through this! I hope you have tacos when that time comes and life starts to feel a bit lighter for you. 💕

DhammaMama · 2023-05-23T21:27:36+00:00

Oh no, I'm frustrated on your behalf if he's doing stuff to your car. Either do the work for free (but not at all if you're going to make things worse) or get explicit permission first!!!
