We made homemade applesauce! By we, I mean I, with the help of my 2.5 year old sous chef. It came out awesomely. I only cut myself on the peeler three times, one of which was more of a “chunk” than a cut. 😬
I’ve been steeped in domesticity lately — nursing and caring for the baby 24/7, doing as much toddler care as my time will allow, grocery shopping, cooking, meal planning, laundry, dishes, tidying. Not much in the way of deep cleaning, but at least I’m still caring for myself and showering regularly.
We’re having some serious issues with MIL and the arrangement to have her help with childcare. Part of it is dependability, part of it is her well-being and whether she is in a place to actually be a caretaker for any significant amount of time. Therapy has been a really helpful tool for me to talk things through and come up with strategies and tools for myself on coping, addressing issues directly, and making decisions for a path forward. Ultimately, I’m really frustrated and disappointed, pissed off, and a little annoyed with myself that I thought it could be different than it has been. I’m definitely in a “let’s see what the next week or two brings” kind of space. If this were a job, she’d be on notice.
But, it’s not all bad. Far from it. Check out those matching jammies! The fact that Holden is excited to wear them so he can match his little brother warms my heart. These boys are truly something. Derrick turned 2 months today — hard to believe that much time has gone by already. Soaking in all the goodness and trying to shake the rest of it off.

10th April 2023
woke up today and carlos, vienna, and zoe had already left so i missed them. was really disappointed and think it hit me harder because I'd had such a shit night sleep with that stupid fucking flashing light in my room so i was nearly in tears about it.
also had to go see dad today which was a huge fucking drain. sat around all morning with mum and charlie chatting, maddy was sleeping and so was nevie. felt good chatting just the three of us. mum made us tea. maddy woke up then nevie and we hung out for a bit longer before i went and got ready for lunch
drove out to Tracey's place and dad had picked up rebecca, will and harry from Toowoomba this morning for a lunch. nana, pop, and uncle allan were there too, along with fred and one of Tracey's weirdo friends
i was and have been feeling really resentful towards dad and how pathetic he is recently. my relationship i had with nick breaking up brought a lot of perspective and a lot of things i started to not like in nick, i was recognising in dad and still am and starting to see that he's let me down and hasnt been there for me my whole life. lucky i have nevie otherwise id be all colours of fucked up lmao
lunch wasnt as bad as id been expecting which is good. was nice catching up with rebecca and will, nana funnily enough also wanted to catch up which was weird???
Tracey's a fucking lunatic like always, drunk like always, embarrasses dad and fred like always
fred is big now, 17 and in year 12. working and saving up, bought his own car and is doing fiji and airlie beach for schoolies
will is cute and i wanna eat him up. pop apparently had a huge cardiac event two weeks ago that charlie and i weren't told about and apparently he even has leukaemia? only told maddy who told us on the way home
came back and unloaded to mum, hung out my washing and we all had dinner after maddy and charlie left (charlie in my car, getting a speeding ticket lol)
watched 2 eps shrinking then sat up chatting with mum about rebecca and how she need to be accountable for how she acted when she left
spoke about maxine and how she's manipulative and it's so scary and heartbreaking to look back and second guess every interaction youve had with your sister over your life
before bed, mum and nevie sorted out that stupid fucking flashing light so i should sleep well tonight
i dont get lonely, but man i need to get laid lmao it's been over 6 months and im dreaming about blackbird era taron egerton geeze
rating for the day = 5/10
breakfast: spaghetti
lunch: chicken breadrolls and salad
dinner: chips and eggs
POTD: my nephew will and i, and the cat being creepy
