Ep 10 Tara

The speaker talks about various topics, including their child starting a new school and adjusting well, getting Botox, their child's injury and how they handled it, their child being bitten by other children at daycare, and teaching their child to defend themselves. They also mention attending a birthday party where their child interacted with another child in a bounce house. Okay. All I see are nipples. I'm just kidding. I mean, I would not wear one. I almost didn't wear one, and then I was like, nah, can't be like that. All right. We ready? All right. Let me start the recording for the video. All right. Ready? Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Loud Moms Lair. I'm Tara. Everything's going pretty good. This last week was really, really good. Liz started her new school, and we were obviously very anxious about how that was going to go and how she was going to acclimate to it. I cannot tell you how big of a weight came off of our shoulders, because she has been loving this new school. She gets excited to go in the morning, and then she gets really excited when we pick her up in the afternoon, and she shows us around the classroom and shows us her teachers. I am so proud of her. She has acclimated so well. It's just a huge weight off the shoulders when a new school or daycare or whatever, caretaker, it works out, right? Yeah. I guess I'll save it for the potty. She really is, and she's just the freaking best. It was a good week, but yeah, work's crazy. Work always sucks, but it doesn't suck, but you know what I mean. I wish I could retire, but that's not going to happen. We're meeting new neighbors. We're really enjoying our neighbors, so that's going well. Oh, I got Botox. You're going to see that my forehead is very frozen, so it does not move, but the parts that do move, which is, I don't know if it's a Botox fail or not, but the corner and arches of my eyebrows are the only things that move, so it looks really angry if I try to move my forehead, so for everyone watching, I'll just show you, but if you go like this, you go, only the corners go up. It is legit the angry emoji, and it's just, you know, it is what it is. It's my third round of Botox, and like, I'm just living my life. It's fine. It'll wear off in three to four months, but anyways, yeah, you know, I just wanted to try out a new look. We're just living our best life over here. How was your week, though? Wait, go up a little bit. Really? Mm-hmm. Oh, no. No. Don't scratch me. He thinks he's, like, doing something wrong, and obviously he's not. Yeah. Oh, poor thing. You, not him. Oh, do you keep the aloe, like, in the fridge to keep it cold? Oh, that's the best. And then the goosebumps hurt, too. Yeah. Do you not know when the sticker's on vacation? Was he home today? That's a lot of vacation out of school. Oh, has he been enjoying that? That's good. Oh, that's adorable. But were you? Obviously, you weren't that good. Yep, yep. Oh, shut. Is that why? Mm-hmm. Right. Oh, my God, that's the worst. That's absolutely why you're so fried. Yeah, I feel like you tan pretty well, too, like, with more than negative 5 SPF. Yeah, yeah, I did not. It was a ghost. Oh, my God. Well, let's go ahead and kick this episode off with our little cheers. You guys, we are officially into the double digits of our episode number. So, we are on episode number 10. So, cheers to that. Cheers. Because why wouldn't we want to talk about that? Yep. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Have kids, they say. It's fun, they say. Oh, my God. Lucky. Oh, yeah. No, kids get hurt all the freaking time. And like, that is something they don't teach you or they don't prep you. And they, I don't know who they is, because it's like, it's just, what do you hear through the grapevine or like the hospital class that you take during your pregnancy, right? Who would tell you? Oh, well, okay, well, I did. Yeah, and they don't tell you that, like, you have to be prepared for these kids to literally get scrapes and bruises and potential broken bones or just falling literally left and right. They're like Bambi with like the little rickety legs and they're just like falling all the time. I swear, their balance sucks. Like, it's awful. They literally do it immediately after again. It's like, how did you not learn? You just fell backwards off the couch. Let me go scale the couch again. But you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Right. You think I want to clean up your blood? Hmm. Speaking of blood. Yes, yes. He didn't fall. A paper cut. But what did you do? Like, so when you gave birth, they don't come out clean. So like, did that gross you out? And if anyone's listening that hasn't had kids yet, like it is not a clean situation. And it is there are things that you just didn't even know existed that come out with that baby. They put them right on your belly, right on your chest. You were just lost in the love of your new child. A beautiful bloody body. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I'll never be alone. Oh, my God. Probably. No. Stop. You see the stain? You had to. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a fight or flight. You just you just do it. I don't know if that's a good example, but, you know, you know what I'm trying to say. Mm hmm. Right. You guys do that, too. Oh, my God. I mean, it works. It works. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So what's your what's your biggest like, OK, besides him busting his lip, is that like the worst he's had it? Like, what's the worst thing that's happened to him injury wise? Or do you think that's probably the most dramatic so far? Mm hmm. Was he wearing his Crocs again? Well, you probably should just throw away the Crocs. I know. I will admit we just got our first pair of Crocs for Liv and. They're freaking adorable, and she's like in a big frozen stage because a little kid doesn't go through a frozen stage. At least a girl. I can't speak for boys, but like, she's got her Anna and Elsa Crocs and they're like a size too big because they came in like, like two sizes ranges. I don't want to go too small. So I want to size up and like. Yeah, but she thinks they fit now, and so she wants to run in them and I'm like, oh, girl, like we just need to calm down. Yeah. Oh, my God. This is Braxton. Liv will come to me and be like, she'll be so proud of herself after getting her shoes on, and they're on the wrong damn feet. And I'm like, girl, how is this feel? Okay. Oh, my God. Mm hmm. Yeah. Well. Right. I think someone at daycare, not this current one, I think it was at her old school, taught her to like, put the sole of the shoe on the foot, and if the arch lines up, like, that is the correct shoe, which is wrong. That's the opposite shoe if they match up. So she does it because I'll walk in and I'll see her lining up the shoe on her foot. I'm like, well, that's adorable. But like, I know where you're going with this, and it's not correct. Yeah. So I know she tries. The effort is that she knows how to like, get them on and off and Velcro them and everything. So I guess that's good. But. Yeah. Let me take a sip of coffee. Okay, so we have had a broken bone, just one so far. I'm sure there's plenty more to come. But we've had a broken bone, and it was her collarbone, which I guess is more common than people think, more than I thought, at least. You never want to be that parent that like, the injury happens on your clock, right? Like, if you are the primary parent during that moment, you never want the injury to happen during that time. You want it to happen on the other parent's time. So you're not to blame, right? Well, guys, I was on the clock and we were playing horsey. So I'm sure everyone knows what horsey is. But, you know, Liv was riding on my back while I'm on all fours, and I'm the horse. I don't know. Like, when is my turn to ride? Matt freaking charges her a quarter every time she rides. But it's so funny. He's like, all right, put the quarter in and she'll go. But yeah, so I was the horse, she was riding, and like, we were in her bedroom at the old house, and like, it's on carpet, so we're good. But like I said earlier, with balance, and like, she was at the stage where like, we would try to keep an arm back there just to kind of steady her as we were going very slow, like a turtle, not really a horse galloping. And all of a sudden, I felt her starting to slip. And so like, I went to hold even more. I think it was on the opposite side that I was holding. And she started to fall. I tried catching her, and I couldn't catch her. And see the eyebrow, it went up. And she fell right on her shoulder. And she kind of like, she fell on her side, she kind of like froze. And she was like, and like didn't scream, just was silent. And which was a huge indicator that something was wrong. And because drama queen, and she froze. And then all of a sudden, she like stood up, and she wasn't really like using her arm. And I was like, huh, that's weird. That's not normal, you know. And we would like go to pick her up under her armpits. But like, if you're raising the whole shoulder blade area, rotator cuff, whatever, like she would cry out. And I'm like, oh, are you okay? You know, so we'd have to like kind of pick up from the rib area, you know. And or like from under the legs or whatnot. And we were going to take her to urgent care. We called the nurse line. And they're like, just see how it plays out like until tomorrow, and then assess from there. Okay, she was fine. She only cried out like if we picked her up there. But she still had minimal movement with her arm, or she was kind of like favoring a side, you know. And she wasn't crying or sobbing or whatnot. So we ended up taking her to our urgent care the next day, because it was still the same. And they could not get her to sit still. No, they could not figure out their x-ray machine. And they were awful with the x-ray machine. And it was a very old x-ray machine. So they keep doing shot after shot, and she's laying still. But like, you can't keep a two-year-old still for very long. And also, I don't want or we didn't want more radiation going into her. I know it's so minimal, everyone who has a medical background, like I understand that. But like still, she's two. And also, the doctor made a comment saying like, we don't want to do too many x-rays because of the radiation. Right, like literally right before we go into the x-ray room, she says that. I'm like, okay. She's like, we're only going to do one shot because we want to limit the radiation. Like, perfect. Five shots later, they're like, we still don't have a good shot. Like, we're going to call it. Like, it is what it is, you know. Can you refer us to an orthopedic place so we can actually be seen by a specialist? So we ended up going to an orthopedic surgeon, doctor's office or whatnot. And they took one shot because they're just great at their job. And they saw a hairline fracture. Long story short, she broke her collarbone. And there's nothing you can do for a collarbone. And that's the worst part. It's like, you literally just have to stabilize the area. But because she's so little or was so little then, and she still is little, but like she, none of the splints or anything fit her. So we just had to ace bandage her arm like to her side and just like stabilize it that way. I shit you not, we had to keep her stabilized for six weeks. Six weeks, a two-year-old. Six weeks. And also this happened right before her birthday. So she was wrapped up for her birthday. And it just sucked. And we eventually worked up to where we could take it off at night. But at first, we weren't allowed to take it off at night. But I think it was after two weeks, we were allowed to take it off at night. But during the day, it had to be stabilized and it had to be wrapped. But it's like, what ace bandages will stay still with a two-year-old moving constantly? And they're roughhousing, they're falling off couches, they're wanting to run. Also, talk about bad balance. Now you only have one working arm and it's like, you're really off balance. But yeah, and then I just felt so guilty. It's like, what could I have done in that situation? There was nothing I could have done. Hmm. Yeah. I know I'm tall, but not that tall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we were nervous because it was her left arm, fortunately. So she still had her right arm. She is a righty. And so she had her dominant arm, which was super helpful, I guess. She acclimated so well and she just figured it out. His are just so resilient and is malleable a correct word to say at this time, but they're moldable. They're able to mend and to whatever is needed. And she needed to use only one arm and she worked it out. She was able to get off the chair or the couch. She was able to stand up on her own. She would just roll over a little bit. No, but she did really well. And it was quite surprising, honestly, because we didn't expect that. Yeah. Yeah. So during the injury part, I think she learned to not move too much because the first probably two weeks, I would say she was still wrapped up. Right. So that part, she would cry out like every so often. And we had to make sure that it was snug enough to stay put, but like not too tight. Yes. Right. But I guess we're great at swaddling. So yeah. Lesson learned during the swaddle phases. But we got ACE bandages that Velcroed and they were like super thick, super wide. And so we just wrapped that around. But yeah. Anyway, she figured out sleeping pretty quickly. And then I think she just stopped rolling as much as she used to. So I guess it kind of all worked out for her, honestly. Let me tell you. So she had at her first daycare, she had a biter that she was, unfortunately, like the target of. So she got bit a few times, which you can only control kids so much. Right. And like most kids go through a biting stage and we totally accept that. And so we were like, okay, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. Right. And like during her getting bitten, we knew it was a thing. But the thing that we weren't the message that didn't come across is like, okay, you're telling us that you separate them. Right. You're telling you're giving us incident reports. You're giving the other kid incident reports. But like how many times is too many times until you like swap classes for one of them? Or like if you're telling us that she's the target and it's been happening multiple times, you obviously are identifying that there is a issue between both Liv and this other kid. Right. And and then and then on top of the biting, he would pull her hair. So like any time she would have a ponytail or pigtails, he would go after her and pull them. And so but it was only her. Yeah, there is. Yeah, I think he was a little bit older, but she's small, too. So like I'm sure there's this one picture of like her classmates and everything. It's like the tiniest one minus like one other boy. But like all of the girls and boys in that class were just massive compared to her. And I mean, she's in the fifth percentile of her weight, like rage. And she's always been in that percentile and she's just a twig. But she's so petite. It's insane. What a one. I mean, she probably will. Like she's still in 24 months of pants. Or just a little waist. But anyway. Yeah. So this kid would pull her hair and it's like, OK, you got biting, you got hair pulling. They would get to a point where they would just like take her hair ties out and just keep her hair down because they didn't want to create a ponytail for this boy to pull. I was like, how is that? You are modifying our kid's hair. And now it's all in her face. And she was in a stage of like allergies and a lot of boogers and whatnot. But like and they were horrible with. Yeah, they were horrible with cleaning the kids like it, which was a whole other animal. But like how how do you have to change? Why do you have to change our kids stuff when she's not doing anything wrong and she's the quote unquote victim in that situation? But like put the kid in a different class or like, I don't know. I don't know because I'm sure it's stressful for the other parents, too. Right. Like nobody wants to have the biter as a kid. Yeah. You would hope. Yeah. But like I know at least I would hate being the biters parents. Right. Yes. There too. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. And yeah. And so we we understood like once again, there's only so much you can do. The parents are probably stressed also, like they're probably trying to do. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, like they're trying to work with their kid at home and everything. But still, like it doesn't matter. All of all in all, like your kid is your number one and you're going to, I don't know, take that to your deathbed, I guess. Ride or die. Yeah. Who did it? Right. Right. Right. Mm hmm. Did he tell you what happened? Did he tell you what happened? Mm hmm. At this age, though, I think it's appropriate. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. What's his name? Yeah. Mm hmm. What's her name? Sure. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. No, but that's just awful. But it's like, once again, I mean, you can only teach your kid, you know, how to react in the situation. Like when, because Liv's got bit at the temporary school that she was at a couple of weeks ago, too. And I was just like, first of all, like you've been here like a second, right? Um, why are you getting bit already? But it like, wow. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Before I continue with that, the previous biter, the original biter, like bit her belly at one point and it broke skin. And there, and I was like, was her dress lifted or something or her shirt or whatever she was wearing? I was like, was it lifted? Cause it was like broken skin, like a full mouth bite. And I was like, first of all, was her shirt up or dress up like that? It was just skin that was showing or like if he bit through the shirt and still broke that much skin, like that is not okay. That's not a normal kid bite, you know? Yeah. I mean, it was, it was insane, like how bad it was, but yeah. So the temporary school that she was just at, um, she got bit and we just, we've been having a lot of conversations with her, you know, like, like how do you tell your kid like to defend themselves? Right. Like, and you don't want to go straight to violence, obviously, but like, we are big believers of like, okay, first off you say no, like, and no means no. And say, ouch, that hurts. Don't do that. Or please don't do that. Whatever. You don't even have to say please at that point. Um, yeah. And so like, we keep telling her that and I said, and if that happens again, like you can get up and walk away. And if that keeps happening, like then you can, I don't know, like push them out of your little comfort zone and your personal bubble, because that is not okay. I'm not trying to teach my two-year-old to be violent at everyone, but like, when do you draw the line? And like, you, you never throw the first punch. Also, please don't ever throw punches, my precious little two-year-old. But like, you never lay hands first, but like, you can absolutely defend yourself. And I will continue to say that the rest of her life, you know, and it's like, people will walk all over you if you let them. Right. Right. Test me. Oh my gosh, but it's so hard, especially when you, if you know which kid did it, it's so difficult to not like, talk to the parents or like, say, oh, like, have you ever seen a kid do something to Braxton that like, kind of irked you? Like, whether it was a shove or a push or like, hit with a toy intentionally. Mm-hmm. Which they do that. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But really, so we were at a birthday party this past weekend. Lovely neighbors, lovely people, like, everyone was so wonderful. But there was this kid there, and they were in the bounce house, and it was just Liv and this other little girl. And this girl, I think she was a little older than Liv, but they were taking like, balloons into the bounce house, and they were kind of like, throwing them up in the air and keeping them off the ground and whatnot. And it was kind of getting close to the time we needed to leave. And so we were kind of wrapping up and whatnot. And Liv was pretty, relatively calm, at least. And this girl takes one of the hard like, helium, aluminum balloons, you know, and just like, smokes her in the face. Like, it wasn't, it wasn't like, we're laughing about this, we're playing. It was just out of nowhere, Liv was sitting quietly in the corner. She wasn't even bouncing at this point. And she just comes over and smokes Liv. And Matt and I are standing there, we're like, did that just happen? She did it two more times. So the second time, the second time it knocked, because Liv stood up, it knocked Liv over. And like, Liv just sat down, and she like, looked at us. And I was like, okay, no, like, you know, and I tried staying very calm. I was like, no, we don't hit like, but you don't want to correct someone else's kid. But like, also, no one's gonna say anything for my daughter, because she, she can talk in sentences, but like, you know, she can't get her point across appropriately yet. And so I was just trying to stay calm. And I was like, no, we're not gonna hit like, that's not nice. And so then Liv, like, started, I was like, come on, Liv, let's go, let's separate ourselves, you know. And so Liv started getting up. She chased Liv out and hit her again. I was just like, audacity. This little girl tested me that day. Yeah, but like, what do you do? We can't hit a three-year-old and go to jail. Not worth it. Yeah, but not paying attention. I mean, they were on the other side of the yard at that point, you know, just kind of letting their kid run loose. But like, what a terror. Oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure she like, looked at us and winked and then smoked. Yeah, I was, I was quite surprised that that happened. And I was just like, like, looking at Matt in disbelief, like, what? Mm hmm. Yeah, yeah. And then I remember another time it was, I think we were at school or at a park. I don't know. But there was this boy who came over to her out of nowhere and just shoved her to the ground. And I was like, I genuinely don't understand, like, why that always happens. I think I circle it back to her just being a little petite thing and like, an easy target because she's the smallest or one of the smallest ones. And I don't know if that's accurate, but in my head, that makes sense. Yeah. Mama bear will. One day jail might be worth it. I'm just kidding, everyone. I'm just kidding. No. But I see red when, like, another kid fucks with her. Yes. You don't know what you're getting into. Mm hmm. Yes. And not believe you or not have an adult conversation about, like, OK, how can we move forward from the situation? Right. Right. No. Yeah. Oh, it's going to be bad. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. OK. You said an only girl. Yeah. Yeah. Mm hmm. But you will, too. You will. Like, you'll basically run up to the glass, like, slam on the glass. I can see it now. No, I mean, but hockey might be I mean, Braxton already, like, plays plays hockey, quote, unquote. Right. And like our practices or whatnot. But, like, I think that would be good for a boy, like, get out there and get whatever aggression you want. And it's all legal and it's all fair. And you spend a penalty box for a little bit if you want. But, like, I'm going to jail. Let's be honest. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. So does Braxton do anything where. OK, so if you acted a certain way after he got hurt and everything, does he ever fake injuries with you? Yeah. What's their name? Oh. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mm hmm. And there's nothing. Yes. Yes. Yes. Live does the same shit. And the band aid, the band aid gets me every time because it's like any time she, like, bumps into the wall or whatnot. She's like, let me see the blood. Yeah. Like, let me see the blood. Let me see it. Like, there must be blood. Oh, no. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Show me the blood. I know we try to tell him, live, like, there needs to be blood, like, blood for Band-Aid or you're just wasting. Right. But she she loves ice cubes or ice in general. So, like, any time she bumps or a minor scratch or whatever, I need ice. I need ice. And she'll, like, go to the freezer and open it up and, like, she'll get my freaking face ice roller and she'll roll. She'll be like, I need an ice cube and a napkin. And she'll get super specific on what she needs at that time. I'm like, there better be a bruise in the morning. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Like, don't feed into it or whatnot. I mean, it's natural, though. And, like, I was listening to another podcast and it was, um, it was like a neurologist who was talking about, like, the brain chemistry of kids and accidents and whatnot. And it's like, you know, how a lot of parents will be like, no, you're OK. You're OK. But it was it was a really interesting perspective. And she was saying that instead of saying, no, you're OK, you're OK, because you're telling the kid that they're fine, even though they might not actually be fine. And, like, so instead is ask them, are you OK? And try to have them self-identify, like, does this hurt or am I actually OK? And, like, don't feed into, like, or don't give them, like, one way or the other, you know. And but, like, instead say, are you OK? And just wait, wait to see what they say. And pending that answer, then, like, you can do whatever you need. But I just thought that was really interesting because, like, we always at least I remember a lot in, like, our childhood was you're fine, you're fine, you know. And, like, there's times I want to do that, but, like, I always just try to remember, like, OK, but, like, what if she's not, you know, like, what if on the off chance that she's not. Now, as soon as she says I need ice, I know she's fine because she's a liar. Yeah. Like, I will let you know when you need a band-aid. Yes. Right. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I know you said, like, he busted his lip right before he went to daycare the next day. Do you ever feel a certain way or feel like the daycare provider is, like, going to judge you for bringing in a kid with, like, bumps or bruises or cuts? Like, do you ever get nervous about that? Yeah. Mm hmm. Yep. Of course. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Like, accusing or something. He fell. Yeah. Mm hmm. She was judging you. Yep. Yes. Yes. Oh, my God. And that's terrifying. Yeah. Well, and I feel like these days, which, rightfully so, but I feel like it is, there's a lot of sensitivity around, which, as it should, you know, like, I'm happy there is, but I think it definitely makes me, I can only speak for myself, makes me very anxious. And I know she's in a loving home and, like, I know that, but, like, no one else, I mean, some people know that if they're close to us, but, like, a stranger doesn't know. For sure, you know? And so it was the day before we took her to her temporary school, but it was the first day at her temporary school. We have, like, two levels in our backyard where there's, like, a three-foot wall that, like, separates the two levels. So it's, like, the high level and then it drops three feet and then it's whatever. She likes to walk along the brick wall, which is fine, but, like, we always tell her we have to be near her, you know, just in case. Thank God, because Matt was walking with her and I swear to God, this girl's balance is horrible, once again. But, like, she likes to look up and not watch where she's walking. And as soon as she looks a certain direction, she goes that direction. It's, like, you know, when you're driving, you, like, turn over your shoulder and you veer. No, just me, just me. But, yeah, so she wasn't looking where she was walking and this girl fell off the brick wall and, like, scraped her legs to shit. And fortunately, Matt was there and, like, caught her, but, like, she still got scratched up the day before the daycare. And her first day is, like, hey, here's our daughter, which I'm sure they're used to because they're toddlers, right? But it's still a weird feeling. Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah, and the let's talk about it comment is, like, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Bea is in such a loving home and so is Liv. So, thank goodness. But, yeah, guilt is real. Toddlers injuring themselves is real. So, if you guys haven't hit toddler stage, if you are a parent and have a baby, like, just get ready. It never gets better. I think it gets worse. Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. What was the movie, Bubble Boy, where he's, like, just protected? Yeah. I would love to do that for Liv. Oh, God. But I guess we won't. Jeez. I don't know. All right. So, did you have any crazy, like, fails this past week? So, as we start to kind of wrap it up, like, what fails did you have or what moments kind of crushed your soul this last week? Oh, no. Oh. God. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. We haven't hit that yet. Give it four months. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. My eyes would have gotten so big, like, fuck. Mm-hmm. Say it again. Oh, that's cute, though. It is cute, right? It's so hard not to laugh at what they say. And it's like, you're not supposed to feed into it. But it is hilarious hearing these little toddlers say such horrendous things sometimes, which, like, leads me into, like, my fail was we started doing this thing. Matt's better at it than I am. Whatever. But we say, if we go to a store, if you listen in a store, we can get a little $5 toy or whatever. So that happened. And there was this little phone toy that she wanted. I was like, okay, cool. And it's more than $5, but whatever. So I opened it up. She's playing with it in the back of the car while we're driving home. And I was trying to talk to her and just talk about her day and everything. And the phone's up to her ear, and she's talking in it. And I was like, hey, Matt, how are you? How was your day at school? Blah, blah, blah. And she's like, I'm talking on the phone. I have never gotten so silenced so fast. And I was, like, driving, but, like, there was no one coming. So, like, I look over. I was like, excuse me? And I was like, I cracked up. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I was just like, oh, my God. She probably picked that up from one of us. And she is seriously a spitting image of us. And I was like, we really got to be careful with what we do. So, yeah, I think that's definitely it. Also, a little fun fail. Just as Perrin said, it has nothing to do with Liv, except the fact that we got this for her. We bought a swing set and super excited for it, right? The idea of it is, you know, we're going to Hawaii next week or week and a half, whatever. And we wanted it set up before my mom comes here to watch Liv. And we failed to recognize. We were like, it could come with an assembly package, but you have to pay, like, $800 just for someone to come assemble it. We're like, no, we can do this ourselves. Well, we got the boxes yesterday. And I shit you not, there are so many pieces to this swing set. And so, our garage is now unusable because we have all the boards and all the hardware and everything just organized and laid out. It's not a small one. And it's, yeah, we can put a picture up of all the lumber in our garage. But we started working on it today. And it is the worst fail ever. We should have just spent the $800 for assembly because I don't know if it's worth that for days. Well, I mean, this isn't massive. But, I mean, it's not small, you know? But, yeah, we were just like, no, we can save $800 and do it ourselves. We're able. Well, we're going to have a cookout with our neighbors this weekend. And we're just going to get all the husbands together and they just do it. Right? I feel like that's a good idea. And we're going to have a cookout with our neighbors. I feel like that's a good option. But, yeah. So, that's our little sales. Thanks. Thanks. Stop cussing so much around me. Absolutely. And you guys can find us on Instagram at Loud Moms Lair Podcast.
