Well the trauma continues. The travel and back and forth of it all has finally gotten to impact my son. This past weekend after being away from him for a week he mentioned that he felt “lonely”. What a specific feeling for a 2 year old to express. Many adults struggle to identify what they…
How to cope and parent through difficult times?
It’s been a minute since I’ve posted. There has been a lot of travel lately with my day job and my family life. Although it has been fun, it is hard to pretend everyday life is normal. Everyday is a new hellish nightmare crisis and major political scandal in the US. Navigating that and trying…
It’s Impossible to be a Perfect Mother
by Nominal Parenting While scrolling my Instagram feed I came upon a post that made me cry. It might be because I’m on my period, but it struck a chord. The post was about how being a mom is impossible because there are so many double standards. There was something about the honesty of the…
How to Know When You Are Done with Therapy?
If you read my first ever blog post, you know my therapist dumped me back in June (2025). She also had me psychologically evaluated. Nothing like throwing salt in the wound. I’m normal enough that the evaluation didn’t turn up any new information. There was certainly some questionable discoveries based on the testing that even…

So where the fuck did those $4.5 millies go? Well, let me show you! When the planning occurred with [REDACTED] he had a plan for 6 different sub-projects within this 1 project. Like 6 goals or objectives that he was trying to achieve and he had allocated the $4.5M across the 6 projects. This is…

Yes, it truly does get better. I haven’t even gotten to the best part of all of this. Here are 2 more strikes against this group, as if their complete and utter lack of respect for me and my 15 year career wasn’t enough. These motherfuckers decided to rope me into a meeting with another…
Venting About My Petty Office Drama Pt.3
Fuck Rachel! Fuck her fake smile. Fuck her emails. Fuck her fake ass responses. And fuck her shitty idea of collaboration. I’m not even redacting her name. Her actual name is Rachel and I don’t care who knows it. Lemme tell you about this bitch. If you haven’t read the other parts, go read them…
Venting About My Petty Office Drama Pt.2
So we left off with me overspending. Let’s say I was given $100 to spend for the year, and I am now spending $150. Now, if you have properly planned, you knew about how much you would spend for the year, and that is what I proposed and got approved. I was also working with…
Venting About My Petty Office Drama Pt.1
by Nominal Parenting Today’s post is not going to be about parenting. It’s about my job, and the stupid work stuff I have to deal with. I am on vacation with my family, and it’s fun to destress by documenting some of the crazy stuff that I’ve had to deal with instead of trying to…
