He’s not wrong. My spouse and I watch sports for very different reasons, but we both enjoy them!

Just finished reading “The Tainted Cup” & I feel oddly light & optimistic in spite of the never ending to-do list I must begin to tackle tomorrow.

Every 25-30 years, the world needs a new musical about whether or not the green outcast is evil with songs that get stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

I think I accidentally gave some man a complex tonight. Lemme set the scene. Security guard sitting on a stool outside a club swinging his legs. I say to him that he looks like he’s having fun. He says not really. I try to explain about his swinging legs. It makes it worse. I walk away in shame.

A Hispanic female is wearing a yellow shirt, tan sweater, white backpack and a beverage in a cup. Atop her head is a blue unicorn hat with a silver horn and its little arms wrapped under her chin to keep her ears warm. She is outside and a blurry street can be seen behind her with backs of street signs visible.

Yes. I am an 11th year music educator wearing a unicorn hat to keep my ears warm at this conference where people are wearing suits. Can you tell what grades I teach? 🤣

Might I recommend NOT flying immediately after having whatever brand of plague your students bestowed upon you including congestion? Not sure if my right ear will ever unplug.

Hey, that’s a pretty fun banner for the title…just saying.

Cerealmancers Chapter 1 Three high school seniors experience a freak accident and begin to exhibit special abilities when they eat cereal. At first, it is merely their friendship that is threatened by the physical and mental torment of the changes they’ve undergone. But when bodies start showing up across town it becomes clear there is more at stake. Someone knows what happened to them in the accident. And they are trying to recreate it.

Today I ordered a drink from Starbucks and also got a free tall mango dragon fruit lemonade because the lady in front of me cussed out the barista and was refused service. It literally pays (in delicious drinks and the gratitude of a tired and mistreated barista) to be a decent human being.

Hi. I am a 30-some years old (don’t make me do the math-age stopped mattering to me after 21) mother & a teacher of tiny to mid-sized humans. I have so much stress & joy & drama & excitement in my life that I choose to read cozy books that people find boring because I CRAVE a little bit of boring.

That eye contact. Or when they walk over to you to talk or ask something, cough ON YOU and then walk away. Without speaking to you.

Teaching PreK-7th grade music is wild. One class I’m thanking a student for “not acting like a booty hole and singing the song right” while pointedly staring at a different student and then an hour later I’m singing 5 little ducks and reminding students to keep toys out of their mouths.

@robertflippo.com can you relate?

1. Miscommunication
2. People’s refusal to communicate pertinent information to ALL PARTIES THAT NEED IT
3. Illness going around the school
4. Boxes and piles of crap all over the house
5. Anxiety brain that takes so much work to not spiral into full on panic attacks
6. Menstruation

I’m a sucker for that movie too!

1. Unexpected snow
2. Surprise flowers from my spouse
3. Queso. Enough said.

Middle school student A: I’m sick!
MS student B: me too :( me, their teacher: man, I’m sorry. It’s tough to be sick.
MS student A: Want a hug? Me: uhm. Sure? Just don’t breathe on me. *later that day when seen in the hallway*
MS student A: I’m going home. I have strep and a high fever!
Me: 🫠

“I posted our cryptid to sloth picture for my like 6 followers”
Babe:”Not to sound like a burn, but who are your 6 followers?”
“RUDE!…actually…idk”
Babe:”I just haven’t heard you mention having any friends…”

Grey outline of a bipedal cryptid-looking creature with two hollow oval eyes, a dot nose, and a slight frown. It has elongated arms and undefined fingers/toes on a torn while paper. There is a grey outline of a heart in the top left corner.

The bipedal creature has been outlined in blue. It was given two claw fingernails on each elongated arm and three claw toes on each foot. It has a white tummy and face with brown fur, black eyes, a blue nose with black dots for nostrils, and a smiling face. The grey heart in the left corner was turned into a balloon with a black string. There are now colorful toddler scribbles visible at the top of the torn white paper above the sloth-like creature.

I was greeted the first picture when I got home. Sent it to my husband with a “WTF” and he told me it was supposed to be a sloth before the toddler demanded he stop coloring. I attempted to turn the cryptid looking demon into a sloth. Also gave him a balloon 😂

A digital drawing featuring a to do list in the middle and flowers surrounding it. The to do list has the heading “priorities” and includes “pet all cats, make bad art, laugh at my own jokes, nap and stop being tired”.

YEAH LET'S GO

Have I packed my 7yo’s lunch for tomorrow? No. But have I drawn him a super precious lunch note to go WITH his lunch? YES!

Tell me why I read it again knowing I cry every damn time?!

Nighttime with my toddler “No! Mama no touch!” Toddler proceeds to lay on my face. 🙃

Judging by the Bluey shirt, it’s not really surprising a picture book was number 1 😂

Not to brag, but today I was told I was beautiful, funny, and had the singing voice of an angel. Were most of those compliments from children under the age of 8? Don’t ask questions.

The true sign he’s a music teacher’s son.
