I was a chef before kids and it's triggering AF tbh. But in a good way...mostly. I don't think I'll ever be able to see a string of dockets being spat out even on screen and not panic

Willis, Bishop and now Bridges. Wtf is is with Nats and E-Scooters? And, um, can we maybe get more Nats on E-scooters? Because they're playing the strongest opposition game lately ngl.

Actually crying rn in public because I just got an email saying I'd won a faculty prize at uni (not a scam lol). It has a monetary component but idgaf about that. I told myself I was useless and stupid for 15 years because I burnt out and dropped out. 15 years! 😭

He's been waiting for one of his friends to get home from holiday all week and leaving her pokemon cards in here letterbox and she got back today and had bought him a friendship necklace. Ugh, my heart 🥹

My son has always had a lot of friends that are girls and it is just the sweetest thing. Not that it would matter at all but he's definitely a very boyish boy, he's friends with them not because he has the same interests but because he doesn't have the stigma about boy/girl friendships

I see Twitter is playing the Jacinda Hate Trains Greatest Hits. Totally fine people posting, no need for any of them to examine their life choices 🥲

Honestly if there was a weed cafe with muffled acoustics where I could see friends and eat brunch I'd be there.

I lie. I can't think of anything worse than a bottomless brunch as someone who doesn't drink and gets overwhelmed when sound comes from multiple directions. I just couldn't think of anything bougie

This involuntary period of rest has taken my ability to do most things that wreck my nails but it has also given me time look after them. They usually betray my humble origins but I'm ready for the bottomless brunch 💅

I calmly walked over & had to use a plastic sandpit toy & my bare hand to carefully grab from my 3yo daughter's hair. I told her not to worry but stay still & I'd get it out, then I did it & we went to the garden to set it free. Nightmare fuel. My bare hand 😭

Omg one time one was in my daughter's hair. She was outside at Playcentre. It was so big I clocked it through a window. The whole world slowed down & I saw clearly that how I reacted could determine her tolerance of spiders. There was nothing around to put the spider in in the time I had.

There's just no need for giant spiders to come inside. Respect the ancient uneasy truce we humans have with your kind my bruhs. Just approach our field of view slowly, at a distance, run away from us not toward, and stay outside. Everything will be OK.

This haunts me. Why was a vagrant spider in my 4yo son's bed? Like inside the layers he slept between. How did it get there? How long was it there? Why didn't it bite him?

Should I be worried that vagrant spiders seem to have collectively decided I'm all g but I need humbling, so they pop in to humble me intermittently throughout my life? I didn't ask for this. Please no 😭

When I moved out of the last house I lived in I moved into a tent. I was a bit worried about bugs. I packed down my son's bed and there was a huge vagrant spider in it. As if to say don't worry about the tent, we can get you in here too. Another one appeared right as I moved into my current house.

If you ever want to feel really old just search for a cable in your cable/obsolete gadget box with a 9yo boy. It was like he'd discovered Tutankhamun's tomb 😭

My 9yo son innocently looked at & smelt a petrol can a few days ago & I gave him a big talking to about how dangerous petrol fumes were. I don't want to put any ideas in his head by him seeing someone doing that so soon after. I'm not usually such a pearl clutcher but that shit scares me.

Saw a young guy with petrol yesterday in Masterton in the middle of the day & quickly directed my kids back to the car before they saw him because I didn't have the mental space to have that conversation with them at the time. 1st time I've proactively avoided a hard convo about people on the street

Idk how to talk or feel about this but I've seen A LOT of people openly huffing various inhalents on the streets lately. It viscerally hurts knowing what kind of lives lead people to this. I can't see anything improving for these people or any of our most vulnerable under our current govt 😓

Yes I'm here to pick up Ritalin. Just like I was last month. Yes it's in the safe. Just like it was last month. Oh you need to loudly confirm my address, the address I keep my controlled medicine at, before you give it to me? Cool cool.

There's some dude with a camera on an alley on live on tiktok. And random as choices in popular music playing. That app is warped. I've seen some sh*t on live. No one is really talking about it.

Why are alleys so scary? I've lived near quite a few alleys and they cut off so much time but I just feel so vulnerable in them, especially at night
