Super productive day working on future (plant) babies. ;) Definitely proud of myself for getting seeds started two weeks months earlier than last year.

This, except it's my family asking me when I'm on-call for births right now. 😂🤣

I was walking up the stairs, coffee in hand, when our mama cat showed up heading down the stairs, looking for love. I stooped to scratch her chin, which is her favorite. She flicked her tail around in approval.

And then... with the flick of her tail, drops of coffee went flying. The tips of her long hair had found their way into the top of my mug.

Here I stand, debating on whether or not to dump it, or just ignore it and keep on keeping on, knowing I have five kids, live on a farm and have ingested worse.

Happy Monday.

I'm shopping for some decor for the office. I show my 10-yo son two different sets of shelves I'm looking at.

Son: I actually like these hexagon-shaped ones. (not one of the options I showed him)

Me: I do, too, but the shelves are going with this (shows him a wall hanging). I like that they have the same shape.

Son: What's that for? (asking about the wall hanging)

Me: I'm going to put it on the wall in my office.

Son: But what's it do?

Me: It's just for decoration.

Son: So it doesn't do anything else?

Me: No.

Son: That's dumb.

🤣🤣🤣

What do you do when your mom is a midwife and you're hanging out at her office? A phlebotomy lesson, of course! Yes, they asked for this (and yes, they need haircuts 🥴)

Fellow birthworkers - let's play a game! How many business miles did you put on your vehicle in 2025? I need to double check mine, but a quick glance put me at 18,880.

To the young lady who took my order at 9:59 p.m. at the Mankato Culvers the other night, which closes at 10 p.m. - you, ma'am, are proof that not all heros wear capes. I really needed that burger! 🤣😛🍔

My mail scale has been missing since I moved into my new space. Today I needed to mail something, and I realized I'm still well equipped to weigh things! 🤣
