I finished reading the sequel to Heated Rivalry and now what am I supposed to do with myself

Where the Red Fern Grows devastated me as a child

My son was just running around the yard saying what sounded like "broken condom store" and I was trying to figure out where he learned those words until a line of questioning brought me to the realization That he was trying to sing Gangnam Style 🤣

Another day, another emotional spiral when a kid rejects my son

Living in a solidly blue town is fun bc the progressives and the establishment duke it out in the comments section but we all band together to mock the Republicans when they post

There are a few, but the big one: I wanted to move back up to high school teaching. There was a HS opening at the same private school that required teaching AP. I said if it was a deal breaker I wouldn't apply, no big deal. They assured me it wasn't and encouraged me to apply.

Threatening to sell my kid to the circus if he doesn't eat the second dinner we've prepared for him at his request (ricotta toast) after he refused the first one (mac and cheese), also at his request As one does

Chat is it a good sign that I almost cried my entire therapy session and still want to cry an hour later

It's real feel 96° out there but that won't stop Sammy Dog from getting his sun time

Okay, let's take it all then 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me with every kindergarten curriculum guide open, making sure I don't see anything objectionable

I have questions after the kindergarten orientation yesterday but they didn't take any. Would it be out of pocket to email the principal? I really don't want to be "that mom" but also, if you're still using "balanced literacy" I need to know why (They do also have phonics but what's the split?)

My daughter loves beans, they are my go-to "wtf do I feed this baby for lunch" food, and on God I say this out loud to myself at least twice a week

My son had his kindergarten orientation today

I love that in the same moment we're having the huge hantavirus outback ebola was like

Beginning to think this recurring chest pain isn't trapped gas but might actually be gallstones

As cute as it is to hear him singing it, I'm slightly concerned with how strongly my son has taken to Boulevard of Broken Dreams Take it from someone whose childhood favorite songs were Runaway Train and November Rain, maybe someone should have been checking on my mental health a little sooner 😅

My kingdom for a foot massage

Question for people who read a lot: do you ever just... forget you've read a book? Like 0 recollection of the details? Even if it's a book you ostensibly enjoyed? I feel like something is wrong with me but I've just looked back at Goodreads and there were a few that I rated 5 stars and don't recall

I don't know if it's a good thing that my knees bend backwards or a bad thing, all I know is I just took a wrong step in my backyard and my knee snapped backwards and I didn't get hurt and I was immediately struck by how much worse that could have been

As someone who has become something of an expert in Green Day concerts of late, I do have to say they sound really great live. Idk who Billie Joe's vocal coach is but give the guy/gal a raise bc he goes seamlessly from screaming hype man to perfect singing and it's WILD

Getting gas, let's see how much it costs me this time!

I wish I didn't have to feed my kids Not for neglect purposes, but bc it's so fucking hard to predict what they'll actually eat and it's really stressful and I'm very tired

Sent off my resume for a local community college bc life is expensive and ya girl is low-key panicking

Submitted my final grades Tried to help a few but man IDK what you're expecting when you submit exactly zero assignments for multiple categories Why even bother paying for a course

I love my children more than anything in the world But if they don't start sleeping I'm going to kms

I have a weird cough that won't let up, to the point that I'm losing my voice and it kind of hurts to talk, and I sound weirdly like RFK jr

*extreme Wheatus voice* it's just the teenage sperm count, baby

I know big feelings are ok (thanks Ms Rachel) but I do wish I'd have a big feeling other than Big Sad

Second hand kids guitar acquired, can't wait to give it to him 🤗

I'm watching 11.22.63 and sorting 2T clothes, as one does

I have a few hours to myself What should I do

Is it possible to have rejection sensitivity dysphoria on behalf of someone else? Bc I think that's what's happening to me right now

Someone stop me from being sad

I got an ad for a Democrat running to primary Analilia Mejia (who only just won the special election but now needs to win again for a full term) AGAIN (he got 2% in the first property) and the comments are NOT having it Love that for him

I woke up sick?!? Coughing up phlegm?! ExCUSE me?! It is May! And the weekend of mother's Day, no less! How very dare!

Did some (new) awful thing happen? I keep seeing vague allusions but once again I am asking people to be direct bc this site algorithm sucks

I could plow through and finish my book tonight, but my eyes are crossing I'm so tired. So cross your fingers that my toddler actually sleeps tonight bc I'm gonna lose it if I don't get some sleep

On the verge of tears all day but I still gotta do school drop-off and pickup and nap time and OT and lunch on the go and also somehow grade all my final projects

I'm in the process of getting my son evaluated for an IEP before he goes into kindergarten in the fall (ADHD, BIG feelings, fine motor issues - he struggles to write/draw/trace). They're testing him in all areas given his history (late talker). It's been GRUELING and I feel really guilty

My book post broke containment so it's bye-bye Don't need strangers telling me real life is also full of heartbreak, as if I don't already know that 🙄

There's a new thing happening to me where, if I jump or run or do anything high impact like that, I feel it in my upper left wisdom tooth ??!!!??? WTF is that I just had my dental workup with imaging a few months ago and everything was fine What could this mean

Is the entire Internet borked right now or is it just my phone? I can't go to any website at all

I keep seeing Met Gala pictures reposted into my timeline and who the hell are all these people

My 5 year old desperately wants an electric guitar today because he wants to join Green Day and he feels left out 🫠

Me yesterday: I'm sure it'll be totally fine to eat a whole can of black beans and then some Me today:

Alright everyone queue up the grim reaper claw game meme, just in case

My tearful verdict is no, this does not work

Trying the viral antihistamine PMDD treatment bc ya girl is ✨struggling✨

Finally watching Wuthering Heights and I'm honestly distracted by how insanely tall Jacob Elordi is
