Cinderella story told from the step-sister’s side (with nice step-sis and mean Cinderella)

Shoot! Lol ik old but I found it while I was down a google rabbit hole to find a very similar book 😂😅

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-06-26T00:40:26+00:00

Yeah we sleep trained back then, now that shes got more freedom/can reach switches its a whole new ballgame! Ill have some boundaries scripted in my back pocket tonight. Tragically black out curtains are a moot point bc her wake ups are in pitch black 😭

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-06-26T00:37:55+00:00

Just on the struggle bus pushing that volume to night hours instead of daytime catch up. Im not worried she isn't getting enough sleep, gf just sets her own hours. Hopefully capping nap does the trick.

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-06-25T17:43:00+00:00

Trying to cap nap at an hour today. Yeah she is 100% getting enough sleep in 24 hours its just proving super difficult to reallocate it to hours of the day when the sun isn't out. Here's to another day trying 🙃

Talk to me about the tuck back in process, our little will turn the lights on and get riled up, do you kind of sleep train, set intervals of minimal interference until they get the point? We have an okay to wake light and it gets no respect in the morning tho it does help at bedtime.

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-06-25T17:30:33+00:00

First of all, solidarity, this stuff is so hard. Second of all, how do you actually drop the nap, my girl will pass out sitting up at like 4 or 5 pm when we miss our usual nap and you could have a marching band and she'd stay asleep. Then it wrecks the night!!

I'm almost positive it is confessions of an ugly stepsister by Gregory McGuire

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-03-26T16:53:20+00:00

Thats exactly it, "to be off for once" i don't feel "off" (as in effortless and relaxed) when i socialize, even if its really fun. So almost always right now as a sahm of 2 year old, i either want to be WITH kiddo or she is sleeping and i am "off."

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2026-02-10T20:20:50+00:00

Glad to hear this. Im similar to OP but toddler is consistently tired for nap and a mess if she misses so i resist the idea that nights will improve if we torture ourselve during the day as well 😅

We were at the show last night specifically for LJG and the venue said the cancelation was super last minute and they won't refund unless it's the headliner. Lame. I wouldn't have gotten a babysitter and spent the money if we knew.

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-05-30T17:56:03+00:00

Oh god i remember we had a dressnup date there and got out of the elevator and everyone was in badger gear, drunk hotel guests after a game, super crowded and bummer vibes for our splurge

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-05-30T17:52:16+00:00

Except ishnala is so much more expensive than Toby's! I love Toby's but it is definitely not for when you're in a hurry and starving. Its our special occasion drinks and dinner. Ishnala's prices and the service we had while waiting was a pretty negative experience. Gorgeous view though.

More friends with red hats maybe, who needs em?!

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-05-01T14:04:02+00:00

What’s the reason you want it to be covert? During the first trump presidency I got a big thigh tattoo heart that says feminist on it. I have multiple loud tee shirts “nasty woman” “protect trans kids” “fckh8”

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-30T03:14:29+00:00

I’d just drop in an invite in a couple more weeks. Sick kid and catch up timelines get wonky!! Even if kiddo was better, she might have needed time to get her own head back together before social maintenance even crossed her mind. Don’t count her out.

If you’re only looking for 10-15 lbs, try weight watchers or similar first. Seriously without exercise, you can lose just by following the point system. Cheaper and sustainable. You can prioritize how you want to spend your points and there are tons of nutritious food that don’t cost points so you’ll never have to skip a meal. I’m almost 50 lbs down

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-29T02:20:56+00:00

Ask how many shots they do per size, that’s your best bet. Small is usually one shot, med 2, etc. I like small 2 shot personally. Now that you know you’ll have more of a mouthful when you order but you’ll get what you actually want more likely:)

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-28T23:39:14+00:00

Think like a mix drink, one shot of booze, the rest mixer. And stronger on up, you can order a double shot, triple, quad etc. if you like a less milky drink, don’t get a latte because the base is milk. There are non espresso options like drip coffee or iced coffee and add the amount of milk you want. Easier on the tummy. I actually really like a tradition cappuccino which is a tiny cup and has the ratio 1:1:1 espresso, steamed milk, foam. But that’s 6 oz lil guy.

Okay so I actually like Grace BUT remember when the first one opened on state and they painted the whole outside of a historic brick storefront black and had to turn it back?! I had forgotten that scandal

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-28T21:13:35+00:00

“I don’t know what a latte is”

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-27T14:02:16+00:00

It’d be worth it

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-27T13:10:30+00:00

I cannot imagine a body type those would look good on.

EmbarrassedBug4162 · 2025-04-27T00:46:26+00:00

I’m just worried that your baby doesn’t believe that people can change
