Nothing like playing Candyland and being told to look away while my daughter stacks the deck.

It appears this genre has found its very own Eye of Argon.

My husband roared laughing at this.

He has friends for whom medication was life-changing with ADHD, and thought maybe that would help him and his autism diagnosis was an unexpected result of an assessment designed to diagnose both.
It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

@courtneyellis.bsky.social I saw an ad for a Benedict Cumberbatch movie, "Thing with Feathers," and hoped for a delightful avian documentary where he mispronounces "Penguin." It's a drama where he is a widower and father of two little boys, his grief manifests as a terrifying crow.

We made a lifestyle change in diet because our bad eating habits and lack of exercise was being passed to the kids.

I am meal-prepping 4 hours on Sunday and it's week 3 and **I am exhausted**.

My husband did grocery shopping the first two weeks, but I did the shopping and prep this week.

No, #Eckmancita, toiletries are not trees made of toilets.

Thank the NYT Threads for today for that lesson of the day.

Tonight is #Eckmancito 's first overnight trip (with 3 grades of his elementary school). I miss him, but my hubs is in worse shape, "No one will sing him to sleep tonight." 😭 It became my husband's duty since our son started sleeping in his own room and I put our dd to bed. ❤️

Hey, I picked up a copy of Monstrous from my local library.

I grew up in Harford county not far from you probably around the same time. I want to thank you for sharing your deeply personal story, we share some parallels and it made me feel seen. ♥️

To everyone who filled out the survey for my niece's academic paper on church trauma survey back in 2022 (back when I solicited your help on Twitter).

Thank you.

It is published in the Brethren in Christ Historical Society journal.

Sometimes #Eckmancita (age 6) gets her energy out after sitting still for a long period of time by silly yelling, thrashing with aggressive hugs and kisses to whoever is sitting closest to her.

Last night, she was bonkers and was yelling, "I'm so loved!" over and over again.

Yes, you are. 🩷
