You’ve already beat my mom because I’ve never seen her drink water.

You and me both, friend

Please give your mom directions to Sedalia, Mo, and tell her we love to have a fun time!

A text says thank you but I decline the invitation.

I made dinner reservations for next weekend in my hometown. My mom:

It’s the most appropriate time to crash out, tbh

It wasn’t even that good but it’s been some kinda week so

Did I spill my dinner on the floor tonight and sob for 10 minutes? Yes. Mind your business.

We actually loved him from his early days, and I bought those tickets before SNL. He was so good!

Oh shit! He was here?! We saw Kam Patterson at the Blue Note a few weeks ago and it was fun!

I’m so lucky that my home is a refuge with its supportive partner and cuddly dogs and Christmas tree and embroidery and peace.

Thanks, friend 💛 Headed to those therapy pups now!

Well we like you, not them

The vibes have been absolutely hostile. TGIF

Pulled my first "my dad died" card to get out of a 5 pm work thing tonight, and the irony is that it's because my mom has made me feel so awful that I don't think I can keep it together in public.

Here's hoping you survive the next two hours in Overstimulation City.

We are hanging on by a thread and using all the semi-healthy coping maneuvers we can muster.

Relatedly, of course I’ve been thinking about my mother’s awfulness last night, and I really think she thinks I can somehow solve her grief for her.

Today’s energy is “show up late with a fancy coffee,” and IDGAF.

Right or who, like, liked her daughter as a human? Can’t even fathom. Sorry you’re also in this world.

Oh it’s her saying I think he’s dead and we should move on (which isn’t true and I don’t know why she thinks that) because she thinks I’m cold. So still awful in a different way. And thank you 💛💛

Shitty ass mid-Mo town. And 🫶🏻 😭

You guys are the best and could totally take her. 💛

I don’t know what it’ll take to cut ties with my mom, but I know her saying I think “he’s dead and we should move on” and that I have “staged grief words” is a real start. It’s all so so sad.

It’s the best job ever!

Hope you feel better soon!

How did the cleaning go?

Godspeed. Was it the sore throat thing? I had that and it was miserable for 2 weeks and on the start of the third week, it magically went away.

Pre-service teachers in my college of ed classes.

Oh no. Have you been miserable?
