I get that you can’t show an outside movie before dusk, but dusk in summer is really late for kids movies I’m also in the early kid stage, and this might be fine for families whose youngest kid is 7 or 8? If mine stay up until 10:45, they will also be up at 6 AM sharp on the following Saturday.

Do I make one of those rectangular wrap shirts in Spurs fiesta colors y/n

Names I have been called by a 2yo needing a nap: Mama monkey Mama hedgehog Mama cow Mama salad Mama cat Mama turtle Mama soap

Wish us luck! My husband is missing Popeyes, so I’m going to try a gluten-free copycat recipe. If anyone has suggestions for which gluten-free flour works best with fried chicken, I hope your answer is King Arthur, but if I have to, I’ll buy another one :/

Would brewing coffee with cardamom and cinnamon fix me, y/n?

I hate skipping choir, and I want to see my friends and make the director tell the back row altos to stop talking And also I don’t feel great and the house needs a lot of cleaning before comes this weekend

What are y’all’s favorite dinners to take to people? Because I offered to help out a friend tomorrow, and every recipe my family enjoys has completely flown from my brain. Only considerations are no dairy or pineapple.

I bought my older son an Easter suit at the kids resale last year in the size for this year But the other one has a hand-me- down white shirt, a new pair of khaki joggers, and a spring-ish bowtie I found Do I put him in a dark suit? or keep him spring-ish, and look like 6yo is the favorite child 😅

I ordered nail wraps hoping they would arrive in time to do my nails green for St. Patrick’s And then forgot until like 4pm today But! The day is not over yet.

1. It’s mountain laurel season in Texas! 2.Twirly dresses 3. The first sip of a good latte (and every sip following too of course)

Just remembered a standardized test from first grade (not the state test, idk what it was) that had one question about a reasonable price for a car and being baffled at seven years old about how I was supposed to know if $60, $600, or $6000 was a reasonable price for a car.

youtu.be/K7uGj7f_2-A Willem DaFoe’s coffee order (caffe latte, twist of lemon, Sweet & Low) in Boondocks Saints sounds like the worst coffee. Sweet & Low and coffee is not good. But maybe it would work without the milk or without the lemon.

Trying to calm down about someone using the title “Dr” for a history podcast, when her PhD is (as suspected) not in history. She earned the title! Sure, in English lit. Using it lends credibility to nonsense that seems to take every source at face value, without the analysis I expect from HS kids.

TIL that Toussaint L’Overture, a man who has been dead for over 200 years, is still “too political” to include on opening ceremony team uniforms www.instagram.com/reel/DUW27hA...

Trying to decide if the morning stressful enough to just forget downtown traffic/getting the kids out the door on time again Or stressful enough that I need to see choir friends, and have dedicated time to knit my sweater (while five-year-old is in choir, but mine hasn’t started)

Renaissance and Baroque Art History Cultures and Empires of the Silk Road Europe- High Renasissance and Reformation Latin American Civ Revolutions in Latin America Senior Seminar- Human Rights Since 1948

I’d really love it if my 2.5yo could get his second shot early 😣 But at least the first shot is pretty effective until then. (Our pediatrician is very pro-vax, they just stick to the schedule) And I wish other vulnerable populations weren’t being exposed by parents who swallowed a lie

So we are going to get some precipitation and below freezing temperatures But it shouldn’t (?) be low enough to overload the grid with Texan heater use, and there will certainly not be enough snow to knock out lines But after snowpocalypse 2021 idk

Good morning, beloved. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

When you have a huge baking sheet for making apple pastries

I picked out the 12 best individual servings* of sticky toffee pudding Do I bring the 6 B-string cakes to my mom’s for Christmas Eve? *essentially cupcakes, we’ll add sauce to serve

It might’ve taken until 11 PM on the 21st, but I got the baby’s stocking finished (This is the baby’s third Christmas, but shhhhhhh)

(I make no claims about the veracity of this translation of Caesar, I just found the possibility cool)

There is a cowboy dress code for the work party tonight, but we decided to go hit-TV-series-Dallas cowboy instead Do I need to use a curler to get Big 1980s Dallas Hair before tonight?

Should I go to the Deacon Christmas Part?

it's so deeply weird to draw any kind of attention to someone not drinking. sure, some people are sober. some people might also have to drive home or get up early or be pregnant or have health stuff/medications/digestive systems that don't play nice with booze. NOT MY BUSINESS! have some punch!

Weather where I just was vs weather at home. Boo. I hate seeing 80°+ in November

Having both of our names start with an A means I get a lot of accidental calls because I’m the first person in people’s phonebook Anyway, that happened twice today

We had to put our dog down a few weeks ago, and today my 2yo was looking in the backyard "Lily gone? See Lily? Hi Lily Bee? Kiss Lily?" 🥺

As a Texan, I’m very disappointed in Donkey Hodie teaching my children to put carrots and beets in slow-cook chili.

Voted on the *17 new amendments* to the Texas Constitution Still cannot believe this is the way it works here, but I did it.

Nearly every time my kid clicks on a Khan Academy book in the app, I’m surprised that they have poems by Sylvia Platt on a kids app and then realize the author is CYNTHIA Platt

I fell behind this year, friends, I did not wear the fox shirt at all in September (pic for reference from last year) Should I debut it at church tonight?

Some days you play with age-appropriate, Montessori learning toys and some days, you just keep measuring your toddler’s body parts with a construction measuring tape while he giggles (we also watch plenty of Little Bear etc, have no fear… and also less-educational stuff that his brother picks)

Zelinsky’s Rapunzel has lived in my head rent-free since I checked it out from the library circa 2000 And now we have a hardback copy! (Unfortunately ThriftBooks did not note that there is something sticky on the first couple pages 😣)

The animal alphabet poster my mom bought us has Q for “queen bee” Should I replace it with “quail” or “quokka?”

I discovered egg whites are cheaper than eggs when they were 50¢ each*, so I’ve been padding our scrambled eggs with them Wondering if this is the “weird thing my mom always did” my kids will be explaining to their college roommates. *they’re still cheaper per serving, it’s just not as dramatic

My brothers and I had an interactive US map growing up that, when you pressed on a state, would say the state capital, probably state flowers and birds, or a fun fact Which is why it is seared in my brain that the state fish of Hawaii is the humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa Don’t ask me anything else though

All right nerds, what would you do on a weekend trip to Philadelphia in November, if it was your first time in the state? (Also how bad will I freeze if I’m used to November being when the weather is *just turning* to be 50°-65°)

My 5yo just said “moo with me” and the only other time I’ve heard that was Idina Menzel in the Rent movie Not sure which mooing was more obnoxious, but 5yo gets a pass for being 5 and not a performance artist I guess

My toddler poured out the ENTIRE canister of table salt on the ground (which he must’ve gotten out of the pantry because I don’t think I had it out for anything) The salt grinder for coarse salt has disappeared So now I’m using my molcajete to manually grind the coarse salt to a useable grain size.

I just bought derby shoes for my husband’s town job, no one tell Derek Guy But they were on sale in his size, and the Oxfords weren’t, and his last pair of black shoes died this morning

Specialist immediately after assessment: we’re probably going to see him twice a month Front desk when scheduling: so they’ll need to see him twice a week Ok so 4-5 times as many co-pays. Cool cool cool cool cool

100ish years ago, my great-grandmother, a farm kid, visited somebody in the city and this person said they would make pancakes in the morning. Nanny and her sister were excited about cakes for breakfast Next morning they get up see the breakfast, and say “oh it’s just plain ol flapjacks”

Trying to decide if it’s worth it to me to get out, use, and wash the food processor in order to have multigrain bread later on

I literally cannot understand loving this musical if you are *Donald John Trump*

Yeah I know my 5yo is tall, but the five-point carseat harness is still fine right? I look up the growth charts again, just for fun Child in question weighs as much as an average 6 1/2-year-old, is as tall as an average seven-year-old. Booster seat time, I guess When did he get so big 😭

[Saturday, 6:54am. A parents’ bedroom] 5yo: GOOD MORNING both parents: [startled] shhhhhhh 5yo: MOMMY I MADE BREAKFAST FOR YOU! Chocolate cereal! But I didn’t make any for daddy because he’s a-llerr-gic to guten and I think it has guten.
