People assume I'm a writer because I have something important to say but really I just love buying new office supplies.

Starting to worry that the Dodgers didn't spend enough.

On Thursdays we have one kid playing soccer in our town from 430-6, one kid doing gymnastics 20 minutes away from 4-8 (she gets off the bus at 3:45), and one kid (plus Matt) at swim practice 20 minutes in the opposite direction from 530-8.

This is something I think about all the time because almost everything starts before 5pm. Any work I pick up can be done around the family's schedule, but even with me always available, our life ONLY works because Matt's a teacher and he's home by 3.

I particularly enjoyed this piece by @kristenmulrooney.bsky.social as someone whose 4yo loves dance and is ALREADY being recruited to the pre-competition team (link in replies)

YUP it was a Kristen job for sure. He at least felt bad enough that I didn't mind, but I know things are still gonna be sticky for a while.

This morning at 6:58am my son bottle flipped an entire jug of orange juice and it was somewhere around mid flip that he realized the cap was not on.

We had a different version of October Kiké but both versions are correct.

Texted my husband with my scheme for getting all three of our kids out of school, to the dentist, fed, and off to three different sports by 5:00pm and he responded "Ocean's Five," and honestly yes.

Similar to my fave genre, when someone is like "what kind of MONSTER leaves their dog's poop on the trails in the woods!" with pics, and 27 people say "That is coyote poop, many animals live in the woods."

Panicking over this even though it has nothing to do with me

I'm finding I cannot keep up with three Google classrooms. All that information's just gonna have to be between my kids and their teachers.

Kids are in disbelief at rumors that one of the schools in town banned ALL memes. They can't say 6-7, 41, OR 21. Cruel and unusual, absolutely egregious.

If you have home plate seats at the World Series and they catch your ass dinking around on your phone back there a big claw game thing should come down and pluck you up and out by the head.

Gotta train the short one to move it back before exiting the vehicle.

Honestly one of our cars has the button and I prefer this one with the crank. So much faster.

I have made an instructional video for the people wondering how it's possible for a short wife/tall husband couple to do this.

If you're a person I know in real life, it will take about 7 years for me to let my guard down and become friends with you. If you're a person who gets on the elevator with me, we will form an unbreakable bond by the time we reach the 6th floor.

My son wants to know why nobody has invented 3D glasses for real life yet? It would be really cool if the whole world was in 3D, he says. Nobody steal this idea!

Reasons the woman sitting next to me in the coffee shop hates her son's girlfriend:
- "has celiac"
- wore a glittery dress to homecoming and got glitter in the car
- "looks sexual"
