Storytime: I love you even on the days you give me a hard time
Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m going to try to keep this short, in between trying to get my son to brush his teeth and go to bed. It’s almost 10 pm now on a Wednesday and im exhausted. I had a productive day today. Yesterday I made a TikTok account again (I made […]

Storytime: My son begged me to let him stay home today
Hello reader and welcome to my blog! I’m back to saving blog posts for later because not saving ended up in me not reading, but in order to not overwhelm myself, I’m saving 1 letter a day. Yesterday I saved all the blog posts of the blogs that start with letter F, for example. Today […]

Storytime: Why I don’t mention my son on the blog as much anymore
Hello and welcome to my blog. I wanted to say happy February but then I got busy and forgot, so happy February everyone! I wanted to see what this month is special for, besides Chinese new year’s and valentines day, which I don’t celebrate, and turns out there are about 100 different holidays! I made […]

Storytime: Parenting wins & the struggle to be mindful
Today was a good day. Somewhat routine. A bit boring. I felt a bit ill in the morning, but it was on many accounts, a good day. Yes I yelled at my son a lot, and my sons exam was postponed and it was an unusually long day, but it was a good day! Why […]

Love is not a feeling; it’s a verb
Love is not something you feel, it’s something you do. That overwhelming feeling when your heart fills up as you look at a loved one, be it a spouse or child, is admiration, not love. That feeling when you want to jump someone (won’t go into more detail but if you know, you know) is […]

What is my typical daily routine?
Hello there everyone! How are you doing today? I’m a bit sick with a sore throat, nasal congestion, and a cough. I’ve had the sore throat for a few days and I thought it was an allergy (my allergies can mimic a cold), but I kept getting worse, so yesterday I started taking cold and […]

Storytime: Homework, pain, and 3 positive things
Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m struggling to be positive right now, so despite my pain, I’ll recall 3 positive things about today. 1. It’s Wednesday, my favorite day of the week because it’s in the middle and I’m a fan of all things symmetrical. 2. I got almost everything on my to-do list […]

Parenting Catastrophe: Homework
I don’t have anything wise to say today. I’ve been a basket case lately, losing my temper every time my son disobeys me. I take everything personally. I start yelling and threatening, and obviously, that doesn’t work. I deleted all his games today because he hit me in front of his teacher when I asked […]

Storytime: I’m sleepy but my son needs attention
I’ve been up since dawn, both yesterday and today. Ever since I took the vaccine, my sleep has gotten worse because I can’t lay on my right side. I just want to sleep, but I’m also hooked on this novel I’m reading on my phone. So I fight the tiredness to read, and naturally, when […]
