Girl + book + cat + hammock = ❤️

After 2.5 years at my current job, I just discovered that not only is there a full size fridge on our floor, but that I was the only person who didn't know about it. Why was I excluded from the full sized fridge club? Is there a secret handshake? Fridge meetings? What else are they keeping from me?

Not to brag, but I've brought a lunch to work 1/5 days this week

Which badly drawn pigeon are you?

Everyone *thinking ashley must take very important notes* The notes in question:

Had a co-worker offer me a "cinnamon biscuit" & I was like "sure, what's that?!" & it turns out it was a cinnamon roll. After a heated debate, we checked the package only to discover they referred to it as a cinnamon pinwheel. Who is right (it's me) ?

Just heard a coworker say "bear with me, I have several tabs open" and same girl, same.

I'm living for the drama & the tea in this thread.

This ⬇️ While again, I think generally SM restrictions for kids are a good thing in concept, the timing of these overlapping policies that will set to decrease kids peer to peer contact, while increasing peer to AI contact, is not sitting right with me.

I am intrigued & do believe SM does pose a greater harm than it does benefit for young minds. That being said, a few caveat's: -> I find quite often with children a prohibition approach is not as effective as an educational one. -> could this isolate children who may depend on it for socialization

The night before Ella's hardest exam, and in the class that dropped her marks the most from her surgery absense, she had to battle constant lows & got absolutely no sleep. My heart breaks for how hard things have to be for her 😭

Last night I was cranky. On top of my own 2, I had 10 additional kids here between the ages of 6 & 16. I was sensory overloaded, snack depleted & wondering why I always say yes. Tonight, 1 of those 10 kids came back crying because her parents were fighting & she asked to hang here. That's my why.

Redheaded mother forgets to put sunscreen on herself before her kids soccer practice; A memoir. (And probably painful life lesson later tonight)

I forgot to blow cinnamon in my door this month

90's summer

Serenity *she pauses, to take a deep breath before committing a crime* now

A warm, sunny lunch walk in cute sandles might actually save me

Carrying around his blankie 🥹

Without downloading new pics what it is like to date (and/or be married to) you? 😬😅

I'm smart, but not "can easily figure out where things I download to my phone go" smart.

No idea what to wear to a paleontology banquet, but really hoping it's this

Whenever my phone doesn't register my fingerprint I immediately start to question my own identity

If the hardest worker was the most successful, the donkey would own the farm. The system is a scam.

And on Day 19, she finally experienced the sun

Day 18 without a day off; I'm cranky, I'm tired, and I am starting to resemble a raccoon in both appearance & mannerisms

Day 15 without a day off; all just to fund his lifestyle

Nothing spells summer quite like a haphazard pile of neighborhood kids bikes all over my lawn 🥹

Bouncy squirrel

Looking at all the donuts so they think I had a hard time choosing, knowing full well it's always going to be a sour cream glazed

A friend gifted me the single best device I have ever owned - a purse sized, portable salt & pepper shaker. I want for nothing more.

#ClimateChange affects our ability to grow food

When they say "not everyone has the same 24 hours", I know there's a special connotation for type 1 diabetics and their caregivers. We battled a 3 hour low last night and will still be going to work/school today. I don't have a solution, but I can say the system is not designed for everyone #t1d

Idk why bending down to tie my own shoe in public is so embarrassing. Like sorry, kindergarten was tough okay?

Really having trouble differentiating want from need on this one

1 outta 2 ain't bad

"Wear pants and don't bite people", she whispers to herself as she is faced with her first day back to her ft job in person after 3 weeks

Newly minted 39 year old, on her way to celebrate her birthday by working. Falling somewhere between grateful & depressed, but that's okay because I can cry if I want to.

I just absolutely all around hate this weekend

I thought I had gotten 3 tadpoles, but I have been informed I may have actually gotten 2 salamanders and a fish.

One day you will go from being cool to being ankle deep in murky water ready to trade your very soul for a tadpole when your 7 year old develops the most earnest hyperfixation

Once again, just a mom to a daughter with a disability trying to advocate for her in the school system 🙃

No matter how hot the temperature gets at night, I'm secure in the knowledge that monsters lay in wait for the moment someone is haphazard with their blanket placement.

I just really need Rousey to take down Carano tonight

Don't worry, they won't be testing out the AI curriculum on anything important to begin with, just how to read, write & foundational math.

Getting added to the roster of a 20-something's "good morning beautiful" texts has me really thinking electrical sockets are looking good right about now

& tonight I had fabulous tickets to see The Fray in Moncton that I had to part with. Still can't think of a better reason, but also, ouch 😅

Shout out to all the mother's who don't get to wake up to flowers or a day of rest. The ones who do it all, day in and day out. ❤️🌷

I was supposed to be at a Wintersleep concert tonight, but I am home administering eye drops to one, and watching the Lorax with the other. Can't think of a single better reason to miss my favorite band than this ❤️

I don't believe in religion, but I do believe in Charlize Theron, and that's basically the same thing.
