Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

In honor of Dolly, I will play 9 to 5 at 5pm. Then I’ll go home and read my children a book. They may be far too old for it, but I saved several of their Imagination Library books and we will read them together again.

Just told a meeting full of librarians that Dolly Parton passed. Pure devastation. She was just incredible. As a performer, as a humanitarian, as a person.

Watching the referee fill out the yellow card with his little pencil is a reminder that every job has paperwork. #worldcupfinal

Side quest during the World Cup final: reading about Matt Damon’s wife of 21 years who is Argentinian. (She’s with him in the blue and white jersey.)

The outfit of the singer of the Argentinian national anthem is very cool. #worldcup

Why is Tom Cruise doing all this World Cup pre show stuff? I have no associations with him and soccer. Surely there are other famous Americans available?

The non fiction audiobook I’m listening to uses a chime to denote items in a bulleted list. I’ve never heard this tactic before (and I listen to a LOT of audiobooks). Not loving it.

Rose tried to order a chocolate flavored milk steamer at the coffee shop in the Seattle airport. The barista asked if she wouldn’t prefer just hot chocolate. It was a level of philosophical discussion we weren’t prepared for on two hours sleep. Also we forgot hot chocolate existed.

My Alaskan kid came home today from Compassion Camp (formerly VBS) talking about how Jesus fed the people by multiplying the salmon and the loaves of bread. Close enough. @nicoreijns.bsky.social tried but she only knows a few fish worth eating

Want to know what modern motherhood is? We did a Walmart pick up today. They included a “thank you mothers” note and treat for Mother’s Day, kids graham crackers. So for Mother’s Day, we get something for our kids not ourselves. Our primary value in capitalism is as purchasers for our children.

Rose: “hey mom it’s dress like your favorite book or movie character today” Okay to put on the Harry Potter robe “That’s boring. We always do that” That’s because you always tell me 20 minutes before school

My third grader was taking the school bus to my in-laws' house (they live really close) and asked my MIL "Why didn't you come to the bus to pick me up!?" (It's two blocks in suburbia, she's fine)

My child caught me up on the third grade gossip today. Names changed to protect the innocent. Chloe likes Brian. Brian like Maisy. Maisy likes “several people”.

As neither a fan of rap/r&b or someone familiar with Bad Bunny or a Spanish speaker, I still loved that half time show. Very fun. Also Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

Watching the Super Bowl pre game show. It has Green Day and Brandi Carlile and that’s the only part of today I’m excited for. I’m not a football fan. I’m not opposed to Bad Bunny, just not my style of music.

We have been showing our daughters Hamilton. 8 year old is struggling with the fiction versus non fiction line. She has lots of great questions “How long was George Washington President?” And after sadly learning the founding fathers didn’t rap, “how much of it did they sing in real life?”

Sleeping in while your kids are up and able to get their own Saturday breakfast is lovely. Being up first and having peace with your cat and coffee and book is also lovely.

Helping my kiddo with math. She’s in the advanced class and doing amazing. I’m not positive I’m going to pass as my advice has led her astray a time or two.

Happy ADHD Saturday. Started by folding laundry Realized my drawers won’t hold my clothes and half of them don’t fit. Emptied out all my drawers to sort them. The movie I put on to watch is about to end and I’m losing all motivation for this project.

We explained the concept of Rick Rolling to our 8 year old and played Never Gonna Let You Down for her. She legitimately fell in love with the song and plays it all the time now.

I’m late to the Heated Rivalry show. Just finished episode 2. Admittedly know nothing about Hockey. Is it early for them to be team captains so early in their career? I thought it was a thing for older players.

Watched Jurassic Park with the girls. They were amazed to recognize The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) in it. They’re huge Wicked fans. “But how did they make him look so young?” Well they did it by making the movie when he was 30 years younger.

Sitting in the pickup line to get kiddo and carpool kids after middle school sports. It’s -9. Maybe 1/4th of the middle schoolers are in coats.

Ambivert married to an extrovert. My husband has reminded me no less than four times that we are invited to an ugly holiday sweater party tonight. He’s so happy to go alone but doesn’t want me to feel left out. I’m good babe. We have done four other holiday activities today. I’ll stay with the kids
