whitewriter3 year olds can be real shits.
I got these temu earings (lolz cause i didn't wanna pay $20 at the mall for something they are flogging for $2 on temu. $2 gamble when im already buying a bunch of other stuff, some of which i legit can't find here - like a good ear spoon. Do you know those are hard to find? I had 2 I liked, a bamboo and a metal one, and the metal one somehow is lost ... and the bamboo one started to break) and then I found ones at daiso but their design is very flawed. lost too much money on there on those cause you can't return ear spoons. No wonder they had so many at daiso and nil elsewhere. I think everyone who used them probably looked at the spoon and went "that's a shit design".
The temu one is great, FYI. Very happy. My ears were so itchy and I removed so much wax. Ah the perils of having soft wax. I think May2 inherited my soft wax but I'm not sure about Wendy.
I lost my shit today cause I was playing with the earings and taking the "leaf" off them because it was too heavy and Wendy picks up the tiny leaf thing and runs into her bedroom with them and "hides" it somewhere. It's small. May2 can totally swallow it. Wendy forgets where she hides it cause she has a 3 year old memory. So I end up counting to 6 and timeing her out in the other room while i search for it/ cause her searching is unhelpful. She just makes more mess. She's crying in the other room and then she yells I need to pee I can feel it coming out (was only a few drops) but I immediately let her out - she goes to pee - I'm trying to tidy up so I can see the forrest for the trees. and eventually she comes back and finds the leaf thing.
Even May2 stopped and looked at me a little scared when the saga of the leaf thing happened.
Wendy really wants earings. I don't need another thing to look after. It is going to hurt a fair bit and then I'm going to have another thing on my plate besides nursing, midwifery, all the cooking, the swimming lessons... the house... like.
How does anyone even live with a mortgage on top of the cost of living crisis, I honestly have no idea.
Like. If I'm under stress and I'm actually having an extreemly privledged life - we own the house. We have decent savings, I've cut back my work hours considerably, I have a very understanding casual boss for the 2nd job so I can maintain my accreditation as a midwife and I have a very understanding ICU boss because she also has a 2nd job in another hospital and knows that it's no big deal having 2- so I'm in a fortunate spot in a sense. I even have a cleaner that comes every 2nd week - (whose hard work is like undone in literally 5 mins but like I keep telling myself if you don't even try due to that reason : then you might as well lay down and die).
So if I had to like go work full time on top of that. You can forget it.
So due to my privelege i've been buying decorations for May2's birthday cake from temu land. Not sure if I'll use it. I should have gotten a personalised name thing for it so I can reuse it for every other birthday cake for the rest of the time that I'm making birthday cakes for her. or I can start that next year. It's too late now. I look at them online and they don't seem inspiring for me so maybe I just shouldn't get it. If I don't like it, then I don't like it.
