“Disappointed” is spelled s-m-a-l-l-c-o-c-k.

There. Two of your problems solved.

Oh and the cable tie thing. The velcro ones work pretty well. And they come in different colors. But since they are somewhat “prickily” put a condom over them. Somebody told me this once.

Sorry for my lack of commenting… my fingers haven’t been feeling well.

I’d say if you’ve noticed the negative self-talk, it’s probably time to evaluate. But it’s a good sign that you’ve noticed.

Also a good sign – you’re loving yourself enough to dye your hair. And your floor. And ceiling. ;-)

~~~happy thoughts to you~~~

Picture wants to be crooked, let it be crooked. You’ll catch it unawares sometime. Sneak up on it.
Use the hair color as an excuse to paint the bathroom some color the ex never wanted and you always did (if applicable). Let the kids fingerpaint the walls. Have a Bathroom Redecoration Party.
Nothing wrong with watching a movie twice. Really. Usually means it’s a good movie.
Penicillin! I do this too. Pitch it, forget it. Usually, you’ll have replaced it before finding it. No huhu. It’s biodegradable, and it may introduce new fungi into the landfill to help the breakdown process.

Kids will be kids. The hair will be pulled. Run the end game and teach sister how to pull back. Disciplined child will learn it’s not nice to pick on sister.
Yes, yes it will…as does yarn, hair ties, twisties (twisted together), all sorts of stuff. Basically, if it can be put around and tightened, it can be used. Just make sure you have a plan for quick removal (scissors, snips, something like that).
Naps are a mother’s best friend. My mom was kinda pissed when my little sister went to kindergarten. She lost her excuse for an afternoon nap.

Unless it makes one miss work/school.

And even then it’s not terrible. Unless you’ve seen all of the episodes before.

I don’t like to toss platitudes at people, but yes, you do need to stop with the negative self-talk. If you can’t, wellll…maybe yes, assessing the meds might be good.
