I’m curious to see what Lemmygrad does in their free time, apart from shitposting on an obscure internet board.

I went out to a park to chill in the shade and read a book / sleep in the grass.

I also spent some time working on my indoor herb garden. My basil started quickly but since a few days, my cilantro has joined the race as well. Unfortunately there are no signs of the spring onions yet, but inshallah they will grow.

I made banana bread with my gf and afterwards we went to a bar.

Today, I will do a workout and follow my cat’s advice of doing absolutely nothing. It’s too hot and with the sun on maximum UV strength, going outside would mean turning into a lobster very quickly.

    Potty training, unsuccessfully. I think we’ve concluded the kiddo needs more time before jumping in. I’ve never experienced stress on the levels of a walking talking pee bomb before. I’ve been on high alert all weekend, and had to call in some backup today. It leaves you exposed.

    Whoever you think you are, wait until a toddler is marching around the house with no sense of reason, no diaper (instead, undies), and no bladder control. You’ll know just how easy you’ll crack under pressure.

    It’ll come with time I guess.

    You really do sacrifice a large portion of your identity for the sake of your kids. But I can’t wait until they are able to enjoy the things we enjoy. Until then I am but a humbled Sheppard, working on enjoying the things they currently enjoy.

        That makes me feel better about this weekend, thanks! Yesterday I was the patient one, we had some success. Today I was not the patient one and we had catastrophic failure. Definitely was feeling guilty. But they bounced back after we decided to pause and was clearly trying to cheer me up. It was sweet. We also have a 1mo, which only compounds the stress 😅.

      kiddo needs more time before jumping in.

      Maybe he would have more success if he sat instead. :P

        It’s a trip! Full of highs and lows, but, as cheesey as it sounds – nothing is more rewarding! You’ll have sleepless nights, you’ll be grumpy, but one day you’ll be grumpy and your kid will look at you and say “why you grumpy!?” And snap right out of it. Every time my daughter does that I can’t help but laugh. it’s almost accusatory in tone! She’s a cheeky kiddo.
