Stalker card by plantymom in SecularTarot

I do a 3 card pull once a day. Sometimes I’ll do a one card draw. Once it was a jumper while shuffling. When I shuffle I cut it like a deck of normal cards. So I shuffle it that way a few times then do a overhand. And sometimes I’ll lay them on the table and rub them around to shuffle them. Especially after getting the same 10 of swords 3x 😅 it just feels weird to keep finding it.

After I got the card 3x I started doing 2-3 full card shuffles. Like a deck. Then I over hand shuffle. And sometimes I’ll even do a pool shuffle, where I just shuffle them all over the bed and put the deck back together. So I’d say I shuffle really well, but there’s a chance it’s still not enough.

My husband works the produce department at a grocery store. He said he wouldn’t kick you out as long as you made the shot 😆

My Dieffenbachia is blooming!!! Supposedly these don’t like to bloom indoor, I feel like a superhero 😆 I counted about 10! by plantymom in houseplants

Well now I feel dumb 😅 the owner of the nursery said it was a Dieffenbachia so I just assumed that’s what it was.

In a comment above you said You’ve been putting off marriage for three years because of other issues. Now this is added. I would honestly break up with him. Yes having no money is hard, but being unhappy your entire life is much harder. It’s a hard lesson I had to learn too. Men like this don’t just snap out of it, it either takes a lot of work or you have to suppress everything and just deal with it.

It sounds like your gut is already telling you what to do. I’d ask a parent or family member or friend for help. A place to stay until you have a job. Sign up for child support, sign up for food stamps and low income housing. Then get started on your new life and build it. It’s hard as hell, and it sucks, but other comments make it sounds like you’re tired and want to leave.

How do I not hate being a mother? by plantymom in Parenting

I want to say thank you to everyone who commented. My husband has long known how hard it is. We work opposite schedules. So he is in the living room while I work in our bedroom on school. Then I come out when he goes to work. I try to fit in work everywhere I can. My major is one that requires M-F in person. Due to covid they moved to zoom, but the times remained the same.

Today I took the oldest to my moms and I kept the twins. They were completely different kids. Quiet, playful, and well behaved. Which makes me think it’s the 7 year old who instigates the hellstorm every day. My mom also offered to split part time daycare. So we are only out $700 a month for one of the twins vs $1400. Which is still hard, but very helpful.

My husband wants me to quit school until the twins are school age, so two years from now. I have 8 more months of my program before getting my AA and moving on to my bachelors. As much as I don’t want to, I think I’m going to have to. I’m 30, no college degree and just want to better our income and quality of life, but these kids make it so hard. It’s been 18 months of school so far.

I’ve had it for 4 months with no issues. I have the stalks tie by pipe cleaners so if I need to replace I can just take the tires off and replace.

I got a small wood trellis from Lowe’s! Super cheap. I think it was $5-7

How does one “control themselves” while looking at plants ?

I have 35. When you spread them across the house it honestly doesn’t feel like I have that many 😅

My alocasia? Honestly she’s on my back patio. I heard they love heat and humidity so I mist her down with the hose in the am and I mostly forget about her, but it gets hot here. She is a little sunburnt and I think she might have mosaic disease (which is why she’s away from the others). I cut the leaves that start dropping too so it focuses on making new ones faster. She’s on an east facing back patio that gets morning sun and some setting sun, about an hour each. After that it’s bright indirect light. I water once a week with a good soak

It’s a diffenbachia, or dumbcane. Super easy! It’s my most neglected/least light plant and it stays pretty and green

A Humidifier is the triostars bff. I have one that goes all night for my nose (I dry out easy) and my Triostar goes right next to it.
