I don't know why she insists on visiting these places where she marinates in all her losses--her grandparents, NYU, her marriage. It makes for a melancholy Jen video as usual.

Still catching up but as always so many bakers are on point and are saying exactly what I am thinking! Growing up we only got gifts from Santa never from mom and dad too. Don’t you think that’s weird and can begin to stir suspicions? It’s got to be some type of manipulation tactic maybe because the kids get Hanukkah gifts from Don and Tens and then Santa comes? Either way there’s a nasty motive behind her deranged madness. And I too hate how she’s basically saying everyone is as stressed as her, no one really has a nice house and we are all being forced against our will to “breathe and be calm / happy this time of year”. Keep telling yourself that Jenny, you certainly aren’t like the rest of us who are enjoying the season while balancing work etc. Lastly I found it interesting that her elderly parents were picking her up to go to the concert - in general it’s nothing odd but in her case I was getting vibes like they need to give her a ride so she doesn’t try driving off the road because she’s so distraught seeing how fab all the Rosses are now without her.

Also, who gets the kids the gifts from Santa? Don? “We’ll see what Santa brings” after she wraps her 4 gifts each.

more notes

She wants to hang all of her RunDisney shit on her office wall. Odds are good she'll get to that before hanging up a single other photo of her kids.

"By the way, don't sleep on magnatiles" I love when Jen tries to give parenting advice lolol

She's says she's "doing the work of two weeks in one" and repeats that she won't be able to get anything done the week of Christmas - a., whose fault is it that she decided to book a christmas cruise + two other trips earlier in December and b., literally what work? wrapping a few presents?

"I'm gonna be real with you. I'm having a hard stress level week and I want to preface this by saying there is nothing in my life truly and respective to a lot of other folks that is that stressful. Really, I'm very blessed and I'm grateful for that. But I don't want to discount my own feelings. And that is that I am really frickin stressed out! I've got a lot of moving pieces this week. Like I said I'm doing the work of two weeks in one, literally, and it's already A LOT. And I feel like things keep not working out. and it's not big things, it's just a lot of little things, it just feels punilative [note: that is the exact word she said, I listened three times. Does she mean punitive?]
