Tax Season

Is here.

That means I’m the only person around to:

plunge the toilets.

This was going to be a list of a whole mess of things that I’m dealing with all by myself while my husband sacrifices himself on the throne of deadlines and numbers

but really that’s my biggest complaint.

The weather has been abnormally warm, which totally helps.

And I’ve kept myself busy with little projects here and there by telling myself Bryce wouldn’t care about even if he was around to care about them.

And I’ve based my self esteem on unreliable sources like Instagram, Facebook, my mother and my own personal visions of grandeur.

Coping totally fine.
