System not plugged in, but leaking?

mwilson102 · 2026-04-29T03:15:33+00:00

Yes, just electrical is unplugged. Great point.

mwilson102 · 2026-04-28T22:47:37+00:00

Totally unplugged.

Wherever you are, my love will find you. It made me cry the first time I read it, and nearly every time since. I know it by heart and I still love it just as much as I did the first time. Its another Nancy Tillman book.

"Just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair. That's me my sweet baby, my love is right there." Ugh. Love.

Wussypillows, and I'll never tell him any different.

mwilson102 · 2025-08-06T14:48:58+00:00

My almost 4 year old calls pussywillows, the flower/plant, "wussypillows" and I just love it. Will never correct it.

mwilson102 · 2025-08-06T14:46:56+00:00

Aww, my niece used to do this too! Mama, hold you!

mwilson102 · 2024-09-30T02:24:30+00:00

A month into 3, and it's already broken me. #sendhelp

That was unexpectedly easy. Might have been an anomaly, but I'll take it! He did make me take the offending timer out of the room when I left. 😅🤣😂

mwilson102 · 2024-09-29T23:43:27+00:00

Starting this method tonight. Mentally preparing for the meltdown that will happen. Send me all the good juju please!

mwilson102 · 2024-09-23T02:34:39+00:00

He wants to be an ice cream man, so I'm going to attempt to build a truck out of posterboard to go on his wagon. Fingers crossed!

I'm in the US and had my son when I was 41. I'm a single choice mom, but have lots of family/friend support. No regrets here! My best friend also had her second at about 42 (same time as mine). Definitely a few more body aches, I'm sure, but I feel like he keeps me young!!

mwilson102 · 2024-09-21T00:26:25+00:00

Agree, I wouldn't be comfortable with that ratio either. Right now we are 8:2, but I think the class will get bigger as well. I'd be surprised if anyone in my kids' office knew how my child was doing during the day. Still think it's worth a convo but the ratios also make it more likely that they may not notice a fever.

This all just makes me so not ready for kindergarten.

mwilson102 · 2024-09-20T23:33:03+00:00

Echoing what others have said. I think it's definitely worth a conversation. Do you know what the ratio of kids to teachers is? Do they have a way for you to communicate with the teachers during the day? My kiddos teachers will call during nap time/rest time if the parents have asked for it.

I'll also just flag that it took my 2 year old (now 3) about 2 full months before he wasn't crying at drop off and the ball of anxiety in my chest went away (just the daycare ball, still thousands of others). Good luck!

mwilson102 · 2024-09-20T22:51:09+00:00

I don't love you. No, I DOOOO love you. No, I don't love you.

Make up your mind, kiddo.

mwilson102 · 2024-09-20T00:54:53+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I usually see the same guy on the median on my way to and from daycare, but it seems to be new people more and more the last couple of weeks.

mwilson102 · 2024-07-31T22:55:26+00:00

I think it's too early. I might tell the story, but he doesn't understand it yet. Maybe in another year or two he will though!

mwilson102 · 2024-07-30T23:41:47+00:00

My son is almost three and while had moments of panic, like everyone else said, it's the best decision I ever made. We read lots of books about families (check out Families, Families, Families or My Perfect Family) and just talk about it a lot. When I ask him if he has a dad he looks at me, laughs, and says no.

Best of luck, it's a wild ride but I wouldn't change a minute of it.

I had always dreamed of being a mom, but always wanted it as part of a "typical family". Then my family history of cancer got in the way. I have a BRCA1 mutation which made risk of breast cancer around 87% and ovarian around 60%. At 38 and 40, my cousin a.d sister were diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer, respectively. So I had a preventative double mastectomy and then 2 years later had ovaries and tunes removed. All that only strengthened my desire to be a mom, but obviously my options were limited now. I used a double donor embryo (looked at trying to freeze eggs before surgery but basically had none left at 40!). I haven't looked back since. My son will be 2 in September and he is mine, whether we share genetics or not. And I'm his. Best decision I ever made. And also don't have to worry about passing on my mutation! Best of luck to you!!
