I had a dream I was doing story time but I turned around to get something and everyone left because Miss Rachel showed up.

I found a gyno who listens and takes me seriously. I told my husband if she ever leaves the practice I will follow her wherever she goes. I left my yearly check up and told my husband if she moves away we will move with her.

Phoebe and her Unicorn books… I’ll get a notification that a new one is coming. I’ll preorder it. Then a week or so before it comes out I’ll see it coming and preorder it again… Happened twice. I’ve gifted the bonus books @danacorn.bsky.social

My grandmother had a rotary phone in her bedroom. I loved to make calls on that one. The way I would watch the dials spin and the receiver had the perfect weight.

Today is library adorableness we hear an obviously small child absolutely belting “it’s a hard knock life” from Annie. The same small child who told me it was her birthday in two weeks and she would be 4. However her mom said she only turned 3 in April she just loves birthdays.

My 11 year old came running up to me that my dill is gone. Planted on a balcony on a pot with basil. The basil is fine… the dill is gone. What? How? Why?

Hooray to me reading more juvenile fiction. I just laughed out loud. From the book Murder at the Museum by Alasdair Beckett-King
Screen shot from a book. The sentence reads “…it was Bonbon who busted an international owl-smuggling ring, resulting in the arrest of over towels owls”

The friend wanted an example. My kid said “I don’t know, probably something about homo naledi” Enjoy the homo naledi news today and the fact my child actually knows a small thing about what her dad does. 4/end

I say “did you just do that thing dad always does? Great job. That’s really good.” Her friend, now confused asked what just happened. 11 year old said “oh it is this weird thing my dad does where he’ll say something when someone new comes in” 3/x

Revenge (I think that is what is was called) there was a scene where the main character was on the phone and the man said I’ll be home soon. She was in the Hamptons and he was in Manhattan. There is no “soon”

Sometimes when I’ve had a bad day at work I just have to remember that today, at the end of story time, when I was showering the kids with bubbles and tiny 7month old was clapping and so happy. His mom said they were his first bubbles.

Blu-ray remote has vanished… been missing a week or two. The button on the device doesn’t enable play on some DVDs. I have ordered a cheap universal remote. It will arrive Tuesday… I bet we will find the missing remote on Wednesday.

Rainy days at the library are always busy. Today my coworker in my department was sick so youth services was all me… I walked over 3 miles today. If you’ve seen my library that is pretty impressive

Finally broke down and started a month donation to PBS and discovered we can now PAUSE shows. The excitement about being able to do this is incredible. I think this is a sign I’m officially middle aged.

I have a teenage daughter. She is wonderful. Really. But I often say one of my favorite things about having a teenage girl is we can share shoes. Well apparently she got tired of me stealing her shoes and bought me my own crocs for Mother’s Day.

She was supposed to be interviewed by by college radio station but couldn’t make it for some reason. I lived on the same floor as the radio host. I was asked to sub in her place to talk about being president of the college magic club. It was a nice interview but he probably would’ve preferred her.

So the image is him thinking he was a doctor… sure. Oh no backlash. Maybe it is better to say he doesn’t understand pictures! Yeah. That’s it. I told AI I was a doctor. That’s what it looks like.

To the summer reading log! I search the first name I find a few but based on the reading level of the workbooks this kid is 7 or 8. I find the name with a family I know is a homeschool family. I email the mom “Hi, does kid have Batman backpack?” 3/x

I flipped through a binder and found a first name! A few workbooks but again no name. I’m thinking this must be a homeschooled kid. Workbooks with some overt religious text… yeah could be from this one private school but no names = homeschooling But, I still had a name 2/x

I played detective today! I came into work and there was a child’s backpack sitting behind my desk. Coworker says he found it last night but there was no name inside. “I’m going to take a look anyway” Overall he was correct, no obvious name. 1/x

So I’m sitting on the floor and she turns to the first page. Then she puts the book in my lap. And sits across from me. And she waits. Well, what are you supposed to do? I read her that book. Best work interaction ever. Her mom did stop her from giving me more books. 4/end

I sat on the floor, sort of in a major walking area but when a child is going to read me a book I have to do it properly. Still with the cover face out she starts trying to turn pages. It was just an easy reader but she is petite and the book was 1/3 her size. 3/x
