Called myself doing a little "home improvement" this weekend and bought some cacti for around our pool. I was attacked by a chenille prickly pear y'all - I've been pulling out small spines for 24 hours. I even got them stuck in my hairline. *mistakes were made*

a cactus with small prickly circles on it - called the chenille prickly pear cactus

My 13 year old looked around, saw kids from his school & was like "I'm good sitting right here," 8 year old was like "I might fall - I'll stay on the carpet," & my husband took a few lumbering spins around the rink. As for me? I was cruising - you can take the girl of out Jersey and all that 😏

Parenting during all this (looks around - waves arms frantically) is really a mind fuck. I'm mentally exhausted all the time and you cannot put that on your kids -

So Junebug here got out of the backyard & came right around to the front door (such a good girl!!!) - husband jumps up to let her in, she barrels into the house to our shouts of “good job junebug!” - and she runs right up and begins eating his dinner 😑 😩😩

TikTok changed their away message - think they got the hint that the propaganda was truly terrible? SMH

A picture or the new TikTok away message. It does not mention Trump - only that they’re trying to “resolve the issue”

Had a dream I was in Texas collecting data for our project - images were crystal clear, I was talking, getting contact info for folks, explaining the study (perhaps needless to say my work/life balance has taken a hit the last few weeks)

Remembering my dad, Allen Nelson, who died 15 years ago today - at 61 of multiple myeloma due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam - He spent much of his adult life working as a peace activist in the US and Japan. I honor his memory today ❤️
