Welcome back to two judgy girls.

It's Mary from the Bay. You guys, I'm giggling because today I have the

Queen icon legend himself, a hallmark movie star, and most importantly, a dad. Welcome, Danny Pellegrino.

How the hell are you? Hello. I'm so happy to be here with you. And also, I'm holding up Doreat's book,

which I just got in the mail. And I'm not unburdened. I wish I was unburdened, but I feel very burdened in general in life right now. And the most thing that I'm burdened with right now, and I hope I can make it through this podcast, but I'm on a water journey where I'm trying to drink more water, you know. But you have to pee every five seconds when you drink a lot of water.

It's exhausting.

It is literally... a water journey where I'm trying to drink more water, you know. But you have to pee every five

seconds when you drink a lot of water. It's exhausting. It is literally the worst. Yeah. Like I would rather

kind of, I think, be dehydrated. But the sick thing is it really does like help your skin and sleep

and digestion and all of that stuff. It's like kind of disgusting.

And I was realizing I was kind of walking around just like a dry, I don't know, desert fish or something.

I don't know. I was like very dry. And I was like, I need to start drinking more water because there was a couple days where I'm like, I don't think I even had like a sip of, like I had a water loo, which is carbonated, but I was like, I need to have more water. Anyway, that's what we're on at. Neither here nor there. I'm burdened by water. Well, how much are you drinking now? Like, how many times today? I'm trying to do. I don't really have like a specific number. I'm just trying to do some of these big ones, but I have, okay, so I have this one. Wait, this big smart water. This is a smart water, guys. But then this is also part of my burden journey is I've, I also have this glass one, which makes me feel like I'm drinking out of a bottle of wine, because it's, it's a bottle of wine, but it it's water it's the Saratoga Springs the top

chef a sponsor that's right and I was at Walmart and I was like kind of in one of those I had read

somewhere about the plastics which is like you know what am I worrying about that for but um I was

like I should probably if I'm going to go on this water journey, I should get glass bottles. But I actually feel like they're dangerous because my son's always looking to knock it over or whatever. And so I got to get rid of it. Now I got to go back to, and Matt keeps telling me, he's like, you should just fill it. He fills up my husband, fills up his jug. And he's like, just fill it up. And anyway, I'm trying my best. We're all trying our best.

Speaking of Lucky, how is he? He's almost one year.

I know. I know he's almost one year.

And it's so fun. We always get to text about, you know, where we're at in the parenting journey.

But yeah, he's about to be one this weekend, two days away, which is making me sad.

Do you feel sad about the birthday? This has honestly been the hardest year of my life. Like, I think it being a parent is really hard. I didn't anticipate it being this hard to be honest.

You know, people say that it's hard and they're right. It's actually harder than even people say. I know. I just did not anticipate it being this heart because I have a boy. He doesn't like to sleep and he's a mover and a shaker. He's a party boy. I get that. You know, I get that. Yeah, he's a good sleeper, knock on wood. I mean, I hate to even say that because it's like probably tonight he won't sleep. But then, but he is a mover and a shaker and just like a little racket, Ralph, we call him, because he's just like wants to knock everything over. And he's in that point where he doesn't want to be changed. And so it's like wrestling, an alligator every time to put on a diaper.

Full on. I like do this thing. I call it body slam because I'll like body slam him down because he'll like laugh and giggle for a minute so I can like quickly put on the diaper as fast as I can.
