I like our now-established tradition that as soon as we get in our rental car in Miami, Taylor turns on the Pitbull channel

The irony of watching a news clip about the Eledon trial while my son’s low blood sugar alarm continues to go off

I’m married to a man named Taylor, and now I also support an attorney who is a man named Taylor. This has already led to some hilarious misunderstandings

“LOCK IN,” I tell myself 10 times a day, as I sit here too paralyzed by all my work and personal demands to lock in

It happened: we felt a little chilly outside and checked the temperature. 82 degrees.

It’s so unfortunate that early morning is the only/best time I can exercise, because not a cell in my body wants to do it. Forget a bike PR I’m just trying to survive the ride

C’s hearing has been checked multiple times and is fine, yet I have to yell “TURN IT DOWN” at least 10 times a day

The days are getting shorter FAST. And I noticed this because we’re still having evening pool time because it’s still 100 degrees

I seem to have forgotten how to cook meals. I just have girl dinner every day. I know it’s not great

PSA: After 2 months of using Grande Lash serum and mascara, I can confirm that IT WORKS!! Unfortunately I have since learned about prostaglandins and will be switching to something without them, but it’s good to know I can go back to GL in a lash emergency

Dolly funded the covid vaccine and helped to save millions of lives. If you believe in that sort of thing God has made her a rhinestone covered throne and has asked her to sing for all for Heaven tonight.

As a Memphian, I don’t really claim Tennessee. But if anyone could make me proud to be a Tennesseean, it would be Dolly. Well done, good and faithful servant 🤍

Enraged that Crosstown has chosen to turn the best “third place” in Memphis into a surveillance state. Got these texts the moment I pulled into the parking lot.

A co-worker just deeply sympathized about C crying and wailing “mama” every day at school drop-off, then added “Then you come here and deal with this BS?!?” and man, I needed that ❤️

Can we talk about how enraging it is that kids’ tablet games are just endless ads for other games?? You can’t play for more than 10 seconds without a series of ads. OUROBOROS OF GAME ADS

Our current struggle of getting my kid proper diabetes care at school is exactly why we need a strong local group of T1D parents, and if life ever gets its boot off my neck for five minutes, I will DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

I left a work voicemail and automatically rattled off a callback number at the end that is… not my office number. Slowly realized it was my extension from my last job 8 years ago

C just fired off the following sequence within 30 seconds: “Watch me do this trick!” “Mom, what happens after we die?” “LOOK!! AN AIRPLANE!”

Hopefully I’ll laugh someday about how anxious I just got registering C for kindergarten. Despite sending everything to the school board a month ago, he was not on the roll, but now we’re good

Tomorrow is C’s last day at his preschool 😭 and I just found out his class is throwing him a national anthem themed goodbye party (due to his obsession with the national anthem). I am incredibly touched and also cracking up

I think the Grit&Grind era was easier to let go of than the NxtGen era because it fulfilled its potential. This is a lot of lost potential to grieve. Need to watch some summer league to cheer up
