A picture of a full box of Kleenex on a table next to an orange water bottle and assorted kids toys

Smalls shared her cold with me this weekend.

Had to grab the last box of Kleenex from the back, where it lived next to the dryer sheets.

Every single tissue in this box has smelled like Spring Breeze or some crap, and now I’m one of those “Dryer sheets are ruining the world!” people.😒👿

I’m assuming these will be the files that Bondi and her team have scrubbed and redacted so that they will reveal almost nothing?? Or they’ll only include Dem names??😑

These certainly won’t be the real files.

Schumer and the Old Guard need to go.

They’re still trying to play by the old rules, and follow old norms, and refusing to pivot.

We need new ideas, and younger people who aren’t afraid to get a little muddy in the fight!

He also made me agree with Ted Cruz, re: 1st Amendment during the Kimmel shutdown

And even worse, I agreed with Candace Owens about something in the last 6 months, but I’ve done my best to block that from my mind and forgot why.

It’s like Bizzaro World these days!🤯🫠

A white background with words, saying, “Sorry if I seem sad, I got a new long sleeve shirt for fall but haven’t been able to wear it yet because it’s 94 degrees.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy…

Oh, it looks like Nazi Germany for those of us who live here and have studied WWII, too. But I’m usually told I’m being “dramatic” and “catastrophizing”.😑

I thought so, too! Glad he cleared protocol!

When my 9yo was small, she would look me dead in the eye and say stuff like, “I can’t wait till you’re dead, Mommy! Because then I can EAT YOUR RIBS!”😳

For a while, her nickname was Dahmer, but I didn’t want her repeating that to people, so it didn’t last for very long!🫢🤣

My 9yo still is not a fan of the Jurassic Park movies. They’re just too much for her.

Meanwhile, whenever someone gets eaten, my 2yo cheers!🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

I went back 4.5 weeks after my emergency c-section with my oldest. The whole thing was so traumatic and I was given so many different drugs, it took me about 2 weeks to even feel human again.
I was ✨lucky✨ to have Grandparents to watch her, and to have understanding bosses who were also Moms.

Because some get too caught up in purity tests to realize what life under the alternative is!
Meanwhile, the other side is fine with absolute garbage.
I don’t get it!🤷🏻‍♀️

I have not been this excited about the results of a Mayoral race… ever!!

I’m wearing corduroy pants today.
I forgot about the “zzzst! zzzst!” sound!

But they’re orange, and they make me feel like fall, and Biggie said I looked cute today, so I’ll take it as a win!😂

Every. Single. Day!

An image of a silica gel packet, which is empty of beads and has possible been chewed on

Google results, letting me know that silica gel is usually non-toxic and is more likely a choking hazard

Came home from work because of a migraine. Thankfully I’m feeling better now.
As for the rest of my afternoon?
I give you a story in 2 parts.

Yesterday at work, I got to paint! Such a fun lunch hour, listening to Bob Ross and making messes.
Looks just like his, I swear!😂 #thejoyofpainting

“I told Daddy Trump our deal would be different! And Daddy patted me on the head and said I was a good boy!”😒

Back at work after taking a week off to chill with the girls… I am unable to access the network at the office.
That means I can go home, right??🤷🏻‍♀️😂

They’re working on strongly worded letters, and trying to teach the septuagenarians what a podcast is.😒

Her face couldn’t even move! Only her lips.

Husband and I were yelling at the TV, “Do you actually believe your own 🐂💩?!?” And we concluded that, yes, she does believe it.😒

With how much SCOTUS and the courts are letting him get away with, it’s hard to have any faith in the legal system these days.😒

My Husband says, “Is that just a face? Or is that Jesus??”😂

Picture of a cat sleeping between plastic tubs full of toys, and one of the kids laying on her belly

Happy Caturday! I have no idea how Kitty remains so patient with our little gremlins!
Years and years ago she was feral, and somehow she came out sweet and cuddly and more patient than any cat I’ve ever known! #caturday

Gestapo Barbie doesn’t want to miss a good photo op!😒

a cartoon character from inside out is crying and tears are falling from his eyes . ALT: a cartoon character from inside out is crying and tears are falling from his eyes .

I woke up in the worst way this morning! I had been dreaming that I was at a half-price clearance sale at a used book store.
I had a basket full of books for $36, and then my alarm went off and now I have no new books!😭

I spent 6 years in the low-income/Sec 8 housing industry. I heard the stories of generational poverty, and how people were fighting to stop the cycle.
It’s all Federally funded, and I worry so much for my former tenants, and my former coworkers.😞

I just tell myself one of my kids must have taken the picture!

And some of them also need to worry about their parents being kidnapped and beaten by masked men claiming to be federal agents…

We already do such a disservice to our military members and vets, and it’s only going to get worse under 🍊🤡

If anyone wants to read a fascinating and kind of horrifying book about how someone who comes from a “good family” and was “raised right” can turn in to a monster, I’d highly recommend this book.
It just took a few pivotal moments in her life and she bought in to all of it.
