Although I love the snow and mountains … I am also not made for the dry allergy filled air with all those coniferous trees 🥴

Ohhhh it’s “it’s is it asthma or anxiety” season. Turns out I actually couldn’t breathe… so it was asthma 😂 I need to just take the damn inhaler earlier to rule that out.

👀 14 put the fancy Oreo cookie ice cream sandwiches in the cabinet instead of freezer once. I was sooooooo pissed, handled it gracefully and never ever bought them again!

Year 20 of conferences… LFG!
Bookending with the hardest conferences. 🥴

Asking for us all!

My days are EMPTY 😩

Nothing says FU like the parent who signs up for the last Friday conference.

Today is a new day. So much calmer and no yelling. 😮‍💨 everyone even got a good laugh before work and school.

Flashbacks to teaching while wearing my sick kid because I didn’t have coverage and couldn’t leave work.

I’m so sorry your state doesn’t believe in free breakfast and lunch. It’s not a solution but it can at least give 2 meals to kids who may not have any other options. 😢 feeding children should NEVER be political.

Chemistry teachers be like CARBON NITROGEN CARBON NITROGEN!

I got to hold the most precious angel baby kitty today… it was so therapeutic on the first day of Dia de Muertos as the animals come. 😻
gahhh I cannot believe it’s been so long since we lost our big kitty, it feels like yesterday.

10 hours of sleep… hellooooo finally feeling refreshed and alert! 🚨

IKR 😅

I’ve been in LA for too long, I can now cheer for the Dodgers with ease 😏 wild times

The way my face changes from summer to school year is wild!!! So smooth and relaxed in the summer. School year is wrinkle city and so so tired all the damn time.

Two stores later and the whole vibe changed but it’s super cute.

Absolutely!!!!! 14 has required hours but this year she’s asked to keep going even after she finished the first 20 (knowing they don’t count to the next 20). Service has always been a big deal to me.

You’re doing such a great job!!!

Having this world’s dumbest meltdown, I ordered decorations for 14‘s birthday tomorrow and one of the packages is delayed until next week. Which means I only have half of the numbers I needed for the balloons and candles. I’m hoping our neighborhood party supply store can rescue me right now.

That’s amazing!!!!

The Google says they can love for a couple months without food 👀 soooo secure every open crevice and hope it finds its way out! 😬

They sent a follow up wedgie and wet Willie.

Annoying!!!

We did at least 4 and only 1 went through.

11 on the other hand has blown my mind… all A’s?! I know he’s hella smart… but I wasn’t expecting this. I just told him nothing less than 80%! This is all him for now!

Almost 14 did not IMPLODE this year as she has in the past 2 around this time. This year as a slow burn … B is the lowest grade and this is all salvageable. She’s done with her semester 1 service hours 2 months early! 😅 slow and steady … little improvements are evident.

😢 gentle hugs

😭 nooooooooooooo hope 13 feels better soon!

13 learned a was reminded of a valuable lesson this weekend … speak the truth and the outcome is much gentler than uncovering a lie!

I sat in the dark corner and did my school work. I don’t play with water safety.
