Random thoughts from the Colorado mountains
Mainlining sugar and questioning AI.
Hi!
I’ll be back next week with something more substantial. Or not. Depends on how demanding my tiny bosses are. But here’s a collection of thoughts that I’ve written down while I struggle to maintain my gentle parenting ethos.
Why do kids act like they’re possessed on summer holidays? My kids are having 75 meltdowns a day. The slightest inconvenience and they’re on the floor sobbing like I lit their favorite stuffy on fire. Can someone please explain what the f is going on? My gentle (ish) parenting style is not cutting it!
I got a massage this week and I felt guilty. It was really painful, so not as guilty as I’d have felt if it was relaxing, but still.
Being in the mountains is a spiritual experience. I am just totally awestruck every single day here.
I saw my first moose. Pretty cool. Didn’t know they could take you out tho.
Everyone thinks AI video is the future but it still looks fake to me? These robot influencers…who is even falling for that?
The Coldplay affair guy is either exceptionally dumb (he runs a massive tech company so ….) or he wanted to get caught. Imagine hugging your side piece when you know there’s a kiss cam. C’mon. Also imagine having a side piece. I’m exhausted thinking about it.

I used to despise ballet flats and now they’re all I think about. I want these.
Every time I finish a marathon I forget how bloody tiring training for a marathon is. Kinda like pregnancy I guess. I’m currently in the “how the hell am I going to do this for another 15 weeks” phase. Mainlining sugar and caffeine. My skin is pissed.
I’m in a reading slump. Probably cause I can’t keep my eyes open past 9pm.
We are making some real progress on the white tees! Can’t wait to fill you in soon. Loved all the feedback you gave. I owe ya!
On the harder days, I remind myself how blessed I am to have kids who are healthy enough to be wild.

I'm almost an adult, but I still tend to have mental breakdowns when going on trips. 😓 As someone already mentioned below it’s most likely because I’m used to my daily routine. I’ve noticed the same with my little cousin, for example she usually goes to sleep around 9pm but when we were on vacation, her sleep schedule was everything but what she's used to and her behavior completely changed. And my mom is also back in marathon prep mode and trust me, she goes nuts every single day. I keep telling her to take a break or just do a half marathon instead, but she never listens. I guess after all the struggles finishing the full marathon will feel even more meaningful and rewarding for her. And OMG, the reading slump. It's sooo real. Before summer vacation started told myself I’d be reading all the time… yeah, abouut that. No idea why but I just can’t sit down and read because I feel like falling asleep, even after 3 coffees. But maybe I just need to find the right book (Fantasy book recs, pleaseee). Despite everything I hope you all had fun this summer!!
Hugs,
