I love being the neighborhood chill aunt. Cuss at my house, eat our food, hang out, play, confide in me, ask how to handle a situation. You are safe here.

1 thing bout me is if you tell me that you did something harmful to your minor child + not acknowledge you were in the wrong + make amends, I will call you out and stand up for your kid. I am Team Kids ESPECIALLY when a man is involved. This is not news to anyone who knows me. Don't act surprised.

The history I didn't learn in school: I knew the colonists were starving in 1609-1610, ate their horses, vermin, leather. What I didn't know is that they dug up corpses to eat them. Or that one guy offed his pregnant wife, tossed the baby in the river, and salted her flesh to eat it.

I'm not naive enough to think my boys could/would NEVER. It's my job to raise them so they will NOT.

I bought this Halloween wreath Lego set for Mr. 8 to work on a little each day this week as part of homeschool. Idk who I thought I was kidding. Took him a couple hours. (The deal was he could decorate for Halloween on 10/1 so I got this to tide him over.)

Halloween themed Lego wreath with a bat, ghost, jack-o'-lantern, spiders and webs, and leaves and tiny flowers.

One time my FIL told me that putting salt into my hand before sprinkling it on my food was one of my many idiosyncrasies. It's been 25ish years and I STILL think about it when I salt my food. Brains hold onto the weirdest stuff.

I grew up Mormon but attended Mass many Saturdats with a friend whose Grandparents lived on my street. I never thought it was odd because she wanted/needed to go. I wanted to spend time with my friend. Let's be honest, church + Jesus were my entire personality. As an adult, yeah that was odd.

In today's edition of I have built a community, my neighbor asked my husband to come over to administer an antibiotic injection to his sick pet turtle. (Husband is an NP and former ED nurse.) When posing the question to my husband I asked, How would you like to fulfill your vet dreams?

Just held a mini inservice on how to unload the dish drainer and where to put them. This is a new task for my older 3 children. Husband: what are you doing? Me: Teaching them how to do this. Husband: Don't they know already? Me: You literally asked me last week who a set of sheets belonged to.

My husband's coworker said I couldn't be a Dodgers fan because I live in a city with an MLB team. WHAT I laughed. I can like both teams. I have 3 teams! I can just like baseball and enjoy watching good, fun ball. Get a grip.

This week my FIL asked my BIL to pew-pew his turkey who is not doing well/sick/off. WHY DO WE HAVE MORE TURKEYS? More background on the Tday debacle: FIL was tired of feeding them, it cost too much in feed, and he didn't ask for them in the first place.
