Me, explaining what frogs in a drain pipe were doing, "They were, um, getting really friendly." Nurys, "Oh, they were doing 'That's what she said'?

Parenting books fail to take into consideration the possibility that siblings just want to be assholes to each other.

I just signed every single camp trip waiver (including one for a bowling alley?!?) through the end of the summer. Peak parenting.

Once when Meishie lost a tooth, I went to exchange it for the requisite $2.30...and could not find it under his pillow. I had seen the tooth come out, so I knew this wasn't a fraudulent tooth fairy claim and left the money and promptly forgot about it...

It's really cool that my earbuds are controlled by touch commands, but it is WAY too easy to hang up by accident.

Literally keep finding myself moved to tears knowing that the world I'm raising my kids in is becoming one where women don't have to back down, don't have to settle. We're not begging for a seat at the table, we're being set upon the thrones we deserve.

Parenting advice be like "If your child is struggling for control, offer them choices." Me,"You can do A, B, or C." Nurys - "How about 35?"

Back from #camping and the kids are all clean but dear lordy, the floor of their shower is not.

TRIED to go to bed at a decent hour, but I'm lying here listening to make sure the kids finish cleaning the kitchen.

When your teenage boy is a brainy nerd... "Fun fact - the Las Vegas Sphere has 7.2 terabytes - that's 7,200,000 megabytes - of memory." ... But he's still a hetero teenage boy... "What if somebody hacked it and loaded it with porn?"

I know it's a stereotype to say that men can never find things or schedule tasks appropriately or do artsy things... And I'm not saying it doesn't ring true in my house... #marriedlife 1/2

We have owned our house for 10 1/2 years. We've replaced the washer (twice!) and dryer, oven (dishwasher (twice!) and fridge. The microwave was already 2 1/2 years old when we bought it. It JUST shit the bed. I guess I'll replace it with the same kind?

It's been a doozy, but the depression fog is lifting. Winter can be really hard, even in Florida. But I can ride out a storm and I can see the sunshine now.

I look forward to the #walkforpeace #peacewalk posts every day. It's hard to explain, but the venerable monks seem to accomplish the most profound thing with the most simple vehicle. The caption on this post really summed it up for me.

I just explained to my big half-horse of a dog that a hoodie isn't night time clothes and he just needs pajamas. Honestly, it's not the least rational argument I've had in the past few days.

#homeschool #writing class be like, "But why did Thicc* Timmy explode? You said that the cheese is the essential part of the alien trap, but didn't explain why it caused him to explode. I need more details." "*note, contextual spelling. 'Thick,' is for conventional use of the adjective."

Not me being late getting my boys to scouting because I was buying Girl Scout cookies. Listen, I will never pass up an opportunity to encourage a kid. Ever.

On the #homeschool agenda today for 2/4 kids - totalitarian governments. I didn't even plan it that way. Crazy how that happens.

NYE 2009. We had gotten up from Shiva 11 days before. Hubbs and MM were asleep. I went out on the roof deck. Never before or since have I felt so alone. I could hear the mayhem of revelry in the streets below, see the fireworks from Central Park. Times Square glowed in the distance. 1/?

If I'm tired tomorrow it's because I was up late - piled up on the couch with my 19 year old son, showing each other funny crap from our feeds. *yawn* Worth it.
