Being an expert from adjacent Virginia, singing a song about West Virginia to honor a team mostly comprised of immigrants is unnerving.

Can we talk about how that’s a bullshit red card again?

Go Mexico!!

lol the whole shoot out I had the teams confused. The oldest crying kid corrected me.

Oh shit!

Holy moly!

Me yelling to my family updates on the PKs while my children cry because everything results in tears.

If the World Cup can agree to stop calling it Turkey and start calling it Türkiye, you can call your transgender coworker the right name.

Sleeping in a bottom bunk tonight after reading a Movable Feast by Hemingway. Ask me anything.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

When your daughter goes to school with the kids of the founders of Tiff’s Treats she hears “Everybody’s going to the bar to get Tiff’s Treats” instead of “get tipsy”.

Marjane Satrapi

“You're American, I'm Iranian. But the difference between you & your government is much bigger than the difference between you & me." RIP Iranian Marjane Satrapi - who chronicled her childhood after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution in her acclaimed graphic novel: Persepolis. 🤍 tinyurl.com/marjanes

As a likely ADHD person, I just created an effective tool. (It’s currently working day 1 of 1). As your mind races through different things (mornings in particular for me) call it what it is and give yourself a mental checkmark that you completed thinking about it.

Did you know you can keep your eyes open for a long time if you blink with your mind’s eye? Now you can go win any staring contest.

Maybe we will be just right for the dance world.

I was worried about being an unfit dance mom. Instead, I’m discovering they’re all unhinged and I’m totally fascinated.

I hope to never find out anyone I know voted for Paxton.

It’s been a rough week but I got to not only watch A League of Their Own but I got to introduce it to my daughters. And I’m happy to report they’re feminists af.

Me waking up from a morning nap telling my husband I just had a dream about him. My story telling gets increasingly detailed and boring. “Hold on I’m going to throw up” and then he throws up. Only acceptable response hearing someone’s dream. In fairness we’ve all been recovering from a stomach bug

Stories from the household. Me convincing my 7 year old she doesn’t actually want any broken limbs. Me: “Who is the prettiest person in the car?” My daughters “me” My husband “me” My son “Mommy!”

I guess this is the porn we deserve.

What being a parent is like. Celeste: “Look at the doggie over there!” Wyatt: “Where?” Me to myself, how cute they’re having a little conversation with themselves. C: “Right there.” W: “it’s not fair Celeste can see the doggie.” C: “It is fair!” Me: sigh

My husband got me a cake that said Happy 34th Mommy! And I said to him it’s not 4, it’s 3. He said yeah, I transposed it! And it took me a moment to realize, oh fuck, I’m not in my 30s.

I think Texas is the only state with an X in the name.

My 7 year old is dancing to God Blessed Texas in her recital and keeps calling pills “peels”. Austin is definitely still in Texas.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

Today was the day Donald Trump finally became president? *taps 🎤* *stares into the abyss*

My 7 yo daughter said to be “BYEEEE SIIIKEE” An hour later I used sike to her, correctly may I add as it’s important to model correct grammar. Her response? “😕 Where did you learn that?” 6,7 little lady!!

In a hotel hearing the person above is awaken and frantically run to their phone to turn off the alert on their phone. Oddly comforting shared experience.

One of the grimmest things I’ve read in this hellscape.

My 5 year old wants to put money in the eggs for the Easter egg hunt for his preschool. His opening bid was $10 per egg. We are continuing to negotiate.

What is the plural possessive of Lowe’s? Lowes’s?

Conversation with my 5 yr old “Why world are we going to?” What? “When we got on the airplane, which world?” Oh, you mean state. We’re going to Virginia. “Oh, cool. Is that the one with the rings around it?”

I lived 3 lives this morning at the airport, all before 6 a.m.

The best part about three kids is there’s always one snitching.

Trying to tame the existential crisis around war, politics, aging, and out of control tech with art: movies, books, visual.

Dalllas County is Crockett’s constituents and Williamson county includes Talarico’s. What’s up Republicans’ sleeves in the Fall?

I strategized voting R in primary against Paxton because I hate him. Then I read Paxton will less likely win than Cornyn. I couldn’t do it even though I’m happy with either D Senator candidate. Ultimately, I had to vote for my girl Pooja Sethi who knocked on my door and hugged me. #texasprimary

Settle this fight between my daughter and I. Whose night is worse? The dog who got skunked or the humans who have to clean her?

Can anyone who is subjected to this administration’s policies really think their motivation is to help the people, much less the Iranian people? Come the fuck on.

It’s only getting worse

Read her book if you haven’t yet!

The thing about your daughter being exactly like your husband … is the joy you get when they annoy each other in the same way he’s annoyed you your whole relationship.

Tech has changed so much in the past 4 years. As a manager, I’m less so framing conversations around claiming the ladder and more so around career growth and relevancy. And I can’t give that guidance with a high amount of confidence.

Hey cool, I didn’t realize the state of the union address was happening until now

Adults are unwell. I will never coach a kids sports team again.

I informed my family I’m going to marry Bad Bunny. My 7 year old was concerned that I don’t speak his language. I’m glad she’s more worried about our communication challenges and not my polygamy.

Can you imagine the impact of a good political ad after the half time show? Entertainers are better politicians than these guys in office.
