I’m going full Disney Adult for this trip. I used to go at least once a year and I have been since 2005. And The Kid will only have 1 30th.

I’m even getting Disney nails. I’m thinking about this …

But I already have a suitcase. And I have this adorable mini backpack.

The algorithms are algorithming …

I do not need a these. But I kinda want one of them anyway. 😂

I’m just guessing replying with, “Dear Parent, AYFKM???” wouldn’t go over well with anyone. 😂

I stopped having them for a couple years and now they seem to be back for a reunion tour. Ugh!!

My filter would short circuit after the first one.

I cannot imagine emailing my kid’s teachers like that. WTF is wrong with these parents?

Both. It’s not legal in AL and the AL BON can suspend or revoke my license for illicit substance use.

Not an option for me, unfortunately.

I do not know how we have any teachers left. My hat is off to y’all because I could never. I’d be fired after my first response.

This guy teaches high school students. These parents are simultaneously doing too much and too little.

Nope. I can honestly say that I NEVER need that. Not even when I was playing a straight woman. 😂😂😂

I mean she could just (checks notes …)

•Buy new undies
•Wash undies in the tub with soap
•Stuff panties into paper cup and run coffee maker water into the cup

Oh and did I mention she could just fucking buy new undies at WalMart like a normal person?

Morning. Looks like I made up for my 2AM waking yesterday. But damn could my old very post menopause body get the message and stop with the fucking hot flashes already?

Damn. I took an unplanned 2.5 hr nap. I hope this doesn’t mess with my sleep too much tonight. I don’t want to be wide awake at 2AM again.

I want you all to admire my master level adulting. I updated my resume, applied for 2 jobs, and filed my taxes. All before noon. Now I'm going to sit back and chill for the rest of the day. 🤣

Exactly!!

Thank you! Everything is just so messed up these days. It feels like a rollercoaster without a safety bar.

Those were the days!

I'm so glad I'm not the only person that feels this way.

I also wish I was half as smart as other people seem to think I am. 😂

I just applied for 2 jobs. AAAAACK. I hate job hunting. It's so annoying and demoralizing. Also ... it makes me feel like a bit of a failure that at my advanced aged and level of educational debt I have accomplished nothing.

I just have to say that I wish I was half as smart as I thought I was when I was in my 20s.

Resilience and stubbornness. 😂

My parents were Silent Gen … but other than that same.

They never listen to those of us with boots at the bedside. Something about the air in the ivory tower of the C-suites must affect their memories. 🙄

It is, indeed.

Thank you!!🙏

Thanks! I saw the writing on the wall, I just thought I’d already be job searching when they did it. It’s a few weeks ahead of my imagined schedule and that threw me off.

I mean did you really think I don’t understand the reasoning behind the decision? My comment about not being C-suite material is acknowledging that I understand the rationale even if I strongly disagree with it.

Right?!? 🤣

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Oooof that is so frustrating. I’m sorry.

Working for a living absolutely sucks!
