Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 14hWill I ever stop crying? A memoir by Piggy Willow (the answer, apparently, is no) 170
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 15/10/2026So I'm not sure what to read next. Maybe another Austen I haven't read in a while? I'm not sure. 040
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I finished my reread of Pride and Prejudice, which is my all-time favorite book. I forgot how much better book Darcy is, especially after they're engaged. I wish the adaptations had focused a little less on his stoicism and given him a touch of personality I'm actually a little sad I'm done 😑😔 150
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 14/10/2026My son's school had an assembly with a real penguin and apparently he did great, stayed seated and engaged the whole time My takeaway is that his teachers need to be more interesting than penguins 0100
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I'm so discouraged by every interaction that I have with my son's school, I don't know how I'm going to do 13 more years of this 080
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I have been expressing concerns since day one that the 100% worksheet based curriculum is inaccessible to a kid who can't physically hold a pencil properly, write his name or draw shapes, and apparently now it's becoming a bullying situation. And oh Lord, they are going to have to deal with my wrath 030
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And now this evening he told his OT that his teacher says no when he asks for help, they don't let him take movement breaks anymore, and he can't draw nice like the other kids and other kids make fun of him So! Have I got a follow-up email for them! 390
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Just emailed the principal and counselor bc today my son told me a kid told him no one likes him or wants to play with him during recess last week, so between these two incidents clearly there is a brewing problem that needs to be addressed 1160

Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Weirdly I woke up not feeling sick anymore - I thought for sure I'd wake up with a full blown cold - but alas, it seems like my daughter has one instead I guess the long slog of fall/winter illness is herestatic.klipy.comLord of the Rings: So It Begins MemeALT: Lord of the Rings: So It Begins Meme 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Sometimes when I sit and think that there are at least 3 members of my immediate family who, if they died tomorrow it would not be a surprise, it just. IDK. It sucks! 050
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 10/10/2026He's also much less of a douche in the book vs the miniseries. There's a lot more flirting and smiling - though he's still pretty reserved and obviously awkward I didn't like the way *anyone* was portrayed in the 2005 version so no comment there Anyway. I love this book 🥰 040
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Ahhh his letter afterwards is actually so much better than I remembered I love fictional mess 180
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I'm about halfway through my reread of pride and prejudice and Darcy is about to propose and I'm so excitedstatic.klipy.comMr Darcy: Pride and Prejudice's Thoughtful GentlemanALT: Mr Darcy: Pride and Prejudice's Thoughtful Gentleman 1140
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Did you finish? I'm still sad about it TBH!!! 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Everyone always says that Kit is a bad actor but IDK I thought he was perfectly broody for this and his performance did make me cry so 🤷🏻♀️ 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh I sobbed pretty much the whole time. It got interrupted one night with 10 minutes left so I had to rewind to the beginning of that scene the next day and I immediately started sobbing again lol 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bumping in case anyone has any insight I did call her Dr but they didn't have any openings 000
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Truly, I panicked bc it was in the grocery line when it happened 😭 030
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The other day I was googling songs in Spanish that feature numbers and it suggested Juanes' La Camisa Negra because it "prominently features the number negra" 140
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The irony of a group of kids chanting "[name] alert, [name] alert, run away from him" at my son while dressed up in superhero costumes for bullying prevention week Alanis Morissette couldn't write it better 060
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thankfully they were on sale so that's only a $2 loss, but still. So disappointing 😭 050
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Thank you! It's funny, they're clogs ( they're basically regular fabric sneakers with no heel) and I had added them to my order to get a discount, I liked the pattern but I thought I'd never use them.. Nope. I wear them almost every day 🤣 030
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Believe me, a few weeks ago I had a container that fell onto the floor of the grocery store and after some deliberation I decided to take them home and thoroughly clean them. But the asphalt was too far, even for me 😞 140
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Mines in the middle. I made the bridal party bouquets out of their favorite books 260
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My wedding bouquet was flowers I made out of text from pride and prejudice, and my daughter's middle name is Jane bc Austen is my favorite 🤣 truly perfect. It's so funny 140
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I like the low stakes of reading a book I've read several times already bc there's no rush and I'm not racing against the Libby clock 🤣 it's just pure enjoyment Not sure what I'll read next but this will be book 24 so I definitely want to at least get to 25 140
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As I mentioned last week, I decided to reread Pride and Prejudice. It's my favorite book of all time. It's fun to remember forgotten gems, like "The stupidity with which he was favoured by nature"and how much flirting Darcy did. I'm about 35% through, Charlotte Lucas just accepted Mr Collins 160
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I started that one, I knew that sounded familiar 😅 not sure if I'm gonna pick it up again for a variety of reasons but it was pretty intriguing 020
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026After him and the nurse was like, you can't go this way. And I was like well she ran, so. It's just neverending mortification 070
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Had just arrived at a playground w my daughter, who I brought bc I felt guilty I was working & she was watching TV, when the school called. My son pooped a little in his pants & refused to wipe. So I had to drag her kicking and screaming back to the school to do that Then she ran down the hall 170
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm scheduled to teach the same classes next semester, with the same schedule, so if it works out and my classes run, this will be my first year without teaching any French since ✨2010✨ Which makes me not only ancient, but also a little sad 040
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026GDI my son woke up too 😩 guess I'll finish tomorrow Trying to wrap it all up before the trial ends 🤣 this episode has been very good! 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He's the bestest boy. Even though he was out behind the garage barking earlier and I almost died from fear 😅 we fenced off the side where the nest was but I was scared his barking would rile up the colony but they are hopefully all dead by now bc they weren't around 🙏🏻 030
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Got most of the way through episode 4, just getting to the big emotional moment, and my toddler decided to wake up and scream only for me Rude, uncultured creature 🤣 Gonna try to finish once she's settled, I need a cry 110
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Clyde is his normal jerk face self. Sam is finally eating at least some of his food, but we took him for a walk and he needed to be carried for part of it 😔 but overall I think they're doing ok! Thanks for asking 180
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I feel like the non-stop stress of kindergarten has caused me to have horrific acne and it's just adding insult to injury at this point 130
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I love this for you and want this for me 😩 what's working for you? 130
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ok I got to the very awkward dinner scene but my daughter woke up so that's that for tonight. I'm sad bc I love mess 🤣 and I want to see how it plays out 210
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I honestly can't remember if I ever finished reading 3 musketeers. I definitely read the full and unabridged Count of Monte Cristo, which was ... a lot. Dumas pėre much like Dickens is fond of the unnecessary description 🤣 120
Piggy J. Willow @piggywillow.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just found it on prime, will definitely watch next! 110
