In this sick-kid-hijacking-creativity and stuck-post-discouragement episode of Glitter Mouth, I'm waking to determined-yet-soft "mom mom mom" cry discovering youngest half-hanging-off-bed throwing up everywhere while Ian's in LA meaning 24-7 on-duty exhaustion, then posting Mother's Day laundry-basket stunt getting stuck at 2.5K views triggering PDDs about "will I ever get to next-level success with built-in fan base.”

In this episode, I talk about:

• Mom-mom-mom throw-up investigation morning: Going room to room finding youngest with big watery eyes saying can't breathe, then half-hanging-off-bed bucket throw-up - "kind of morning I'm having"

• Ian-in-LA 24-7 on-duty reality: Everyone's got cold, Jack crying needing nose blown - "exhausted, freaking exhausted, and of course this is my work day"

• N95-Lysol-battle-cry sick-kid protocol: Air spray disinfectant then gloves and mask - "how I survive Kentucky flu"

• Mother's Day laundry-basket post nerves: "Still get nervous when I post them, never know what people are going to say - feels very exposing"

• 2K-stuck-post clarification-kills-views theory: "As soon as I answered those things it stopped - maybe next time just let it go let it go"

• Three-to-five-week sickness-cycle reality: When you have three kids illness rotates - "someone's down and someone's down for weeks"

• Five-lovey rotation pro-parenting tip: Need multiple in rotation so when throw-up happens have backup - "they cannot self-soothe if lovey gets thrown up on"

• 2.5K-stuck laundry post PDDs: "Why can't I get to next level where I have resource of people's attention, built-in fan base posting between 60-150K automatically"

• Family-guy-15K-and-laundry-2.5K disappointment: "Thought family guy would explode, thought everyone could relate to laundry - it's been a minute guys"

• Dylan-jump-rope three-year scroll-to-bottom lesson: Started outdoor 16K posts, transitioned gym 300K, now simple no-text dark-background viral - "worked three years, I'm on month two, put patient's pants on"
