Mutterwhelmed

I could post some angst-y bullshit about my life and why I somehow can’t play this little meme/game on time lately but I’ll just save it. Le sigh.

Three ways

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

But I sure am fucking bitter.

the new hide and seek

My kids and a friend were looking for the kitten the other day. I understand why the kitten was being difficult to find, but that’s not why I’m writing this.

They quickly but methodically went through each room, left to right, looking under beds and behind curtains and in closets, calling out “clear!” each time they couldn’t find the cat.
