I was not anticipating having to repeatedly stop our toddler from trying to put crayons down the backside of our 4-year-old’s pants.

Is anyone else surprised Fricker retained his starting spot?

My 4yo’s response to me telling him we weren’t going back outside was, “Well, then I’m not going to your birthday party!”

The family and I have differed quite a bit this week! Makes me wonderder if they know something I don’t lol

Was anyone else surprised when it was announced that the @werbreakers.bsky.social will play out of Lodi, CA? Now that I’ve had a chance to think about it, this might just be one of @womenseliterugby.us best decisions!

It was not a great week for the 4yo and I, with the Wifey being the only one to pick over 500. No one cares about the past though, all eyes onto this week!

@okayjulia.bsky.social is it just me or were the Chicago Tempests doing their best (or worst) impersonations of the Bristol Bears by refusing to kick, and trying to run it from their own try line?

Me, a grown person, cannot accomplish my adultly duties because I’m distracted by my 4yo’s tv shows

I would like to blame half of the reason I didn’t have a perfect week on Scott Ferrara obviously overhyping the New York Exiles. As for the other half… I’m trying not to say negative things about myself sooooooo yeah…

There was once a time when just the mere sound of the doggy door flaps was enough to send fear into every critter bold enough to enter our yard. Now the ground squirrels and bunnies don’t even bother to stop eating our grass as my dog walks out to go potty.

UPDATE!! We have added picks for the @womenseliterugby.us matches this weekend!

Apparently it’s the 4yo’s and Wifey’s turn to mostly pick underdogs, and mine to make more “reasonable” picks. It’s good to take turns

The 4yo’s plan of only picking away teams did not pan-out so well for him. OGDC almost made me look smart… almost

Baby is couch surfing trying to get to the 4yo. 4yo drops a pillows on baby’s face.
Me: Don’t drop pillows on his.
4yo: I’m not. I’m just grabbing it, and letting it go.
Me: That’s what dropping is.
4yo: But I’m doing it gently
March 15, 2025 at 4:40 PM
Well, the 4yo has gone back to his tactic of only picking away teams, and I seem to like picking mostly underdogs. The Wifey has gone with what some may say is a more “reasonable” approach.
