Momma Faraday

Jeez, the momentary panic I had after hearing the sirens again for two days in a row until I realized it’s 11 am on Wednesday.

My husband should teach a masterclass on caring for disabled family. He patiently waits for me to put my words together and doesn’t interrupt. He notices when my hands are shaking from the pain before I do. And he just always gives his quiet unassuming support whenever I need it

Proud of myself! Asked for a wheelchair to sit through my mammogram instead of trying to stand through it.
First mammogram and had the results before I got home.. no abnormalities found!

Had to accompany my mother to the ER on Monday. She’s fine but I am worn down. I keep falling asleep and my pain is through the roof. I have 3 appointments between in the next 2 days for her, my son, and me but right now I don’t know how I am going to be able to do them

Both my spouse and kid were diagnosed in the US. For the kid, we and his teacher filled out a questionnaire. Hubs didn’t need to prepare anything, just had a conversation. Still strikes me as too much to expect adults to keep grade cards

Who keeps grade cards into adulthood? What a weird request

Stunning work!

New Age types: I love you but for all that is good, stop suggesting turmeric to me after I tell you I’m on meds for my autoimmune disease

We trying to go as long as we can without running the AC but I broke down tonight. It’s 80F (26.6C) in the house even at 2 am and it’s I can’t take it anymore.

Kid “Why did you teabag that character?”
Me: “I didn’t teabag him! I crouched near him. Besides I lack the teabag to actually do anything like that. Oh that’s a good debate, if you have no balls can you really teabag?”
Kid: “Omg Mom, no. That’s not a debate”

Can you all go one dang day with hating the administration without being ableist?
I’m so close to deleting my account.

Mines a teenager now and it’s “Mom you suck at lock picking. You need me to do it for you?” 😭

Standing up to the bullies! Would love KC and StL to follow our our neighbors

In a million years, I would never had guess the reason the school is urging family discussions on ….

Not sticking paper clips into the electrical outlets

We’re doomed.

I’ve lived in the Midwest my entire life so I forget they’re not a universal thing until I mention it to folks outside the area. Lived in a town that they went off shortly at noon during the week. That took getting used to.

Sounds like your state or restrictions require more frequent renewals than others. I don’t fly or enter federal buildings so I didn’t need to renew early. I updated it this year when my license expired.
Tbh, kind of a weird thing to be judgy about.

We had the most awful gold paisley cummerbund for our concert wear. I transferred schools after that year so hopefully it changed. We called ourselves poker dealers lol

“Offspring, another hug before bed?”
“I guess so” (teasing toned)
“You don’t have to if you don’t really want to, my love. You can tell say no”
“You know I’m kidding” as he plops down

My 14 old son has been across state for a music festival. He got home and curled up in my arms. Kid is taller than me but still lets me snuggle with him. Even told me he missed me too and got me some honey for an early Mother’s Day gift.

Over $300k raised for that poor baby. As it should be. Our babies, all our babies, deserve love and compassion

My teen son and his buddies use “alpha male” as an insult. This is also the same kid who came home after his class on the stock market ranting about the evils of capitalism and wealth hoarding.

The kids are okay but that is due, in part, to teaching and raising them to be part of a community.

BRB sending to this my chronic besties

Even if one can tell them it‘s for a stockpile, there’s controlled scripts that will absolutely flag you.
“Stockpile RX’s” is really up there with “build your own farm” in terms of useless for most Americans.

I would have to pay cash to the tune $17k for an extra month. Seventeen thousand.

She’s right! I wasn’t ovulating when I decided that I would have 1. Oh that’s right, it’s when I was pregnant so LOTS of baby making hormones. Conversely, I chose to come off the bc to have said pregnancy. That’s what reasonable people do when they can decide on pregnancies

But sure MC just needed to be shown that he can achieve the things he wants. The only thing stopping him was himself. With his boyfriend by his side, or more often, being carried everywhere, they’re going see the world! (/scarcasm)

I’ve been in bed for a week with a respiratory infection. I mask but it wasn’t enough for just me to mask. Someone made the decision to go out sick and I’m paying for it. Up late reading because the damned prednisone makes it impossible for me to sleep.

I don’t know if the author is disabled and it’s not a wholly fair summary. But, to me, it reads as an able-bodied savior complex. Then I pop over here to scroll a bit and see NIOSH is getting gutted. More about articles about UK disability issues and I want to cry. This our actual truth

Upon 1st meeting, photographer pushes the wheel hair without asking and then picks up the MC without asking. All because he can see the MC is disappointed the accessible seating isn’t good. Later they go to a remote spot without any difficulty and MC is so grateful. His dreams are attainable!

Just read a comic featuring a disabled character falling in love with an abled bodied photographer. It’s well loved. 1st volume is the photographer encouraging the disabled character to get expand his world and pursue his dreams of traveling and their relationship.

I hate it here. I hate it so much. Every friggen day is just terrible news that hurts people.
