Mom of two wild boys, witch, RNY 10.3.23, audhd, wfh, bi, she/her

I probably won't respond to DMs- but that's more my anxiety than anything...
Parents and teachers of bluesky- what do you think is an appropriate timeframe to hear back from public school-
A) principal
B) zone superintendent
C) district superintendent?

I'm thinking 3 school days, even if that response is just- I'm looking into this.

I'm trying to propose an actual policy

Talked to a dad of a kid in my son's class. he didn't want his wife to take his last name because he didn't want her to be judged by a Hispanic last name. He asked the school what they'd do to protect his brown kids if ICE showed up. Extra glad I had already asked if the school had an ICE plan.

Guess I have to go speak to the school board... My eldest's class has gone through 3 teachers in 2 years, just losing another who didn't even make it through the semester. Notified via email, principal and superintendent say parent meeting will not happen.

This won't end well for them.

I very much appreciate my work having a conversation about psychological safety. I also very much appreciate that my question in mettingpulse asking about how we might think differently about the psychological safety of neurodiverse individuals is being invited a LOT.

Hi. If you need a distraction this week that is also something you can look forward to next year- check out Fat Bear Week. I am obsessed and share this with all my friends and coworkers every year. Drop your winner/bracket if you want! I am team Chunk. explore.org/fat-bear-week

During a tantrum, I told my four year old that it must be super tough being 4 sometimes. "It is NOT tough being 4, mommy!" He screamed between sobs. I then made the mistake of saying he must be tired... "Just because I'm crying doesn't mean I'm sleepy! I literally said that tomorrow!"

My sister's friend told me she's a bossy lesbian. I told her that we'll get along great because I'm a bisexual who can't make a decision to save my life.

Had a sleepover with my (also adult) sister last night while our mom watched our boys. Thrifting, dinner, movie, sleep, yoga, spicy bookstore, and back to the boys. It was amazing and I think adult sleepovers definitely need to be more of a thing.

And now for something completely different to brighten up your timeline... My dear Honey has taken to sitting majestically in a children's playhouse. It keeps her off the ground and safe from afternoon rain, with an added bonus of being able to surveil her kingdom from above.

Listening to AM radio on the way home from the gym this morning... "We have to have a way for the family, or the community, or someone to do something if they see someone who may be a risk to the community." Like red flag laws? Sounds like you're wanting red flag laws...But no, not like that...

Oh my goodness y'all... I just realized my 3rd grade teacher read "Where the Red Fern Grows" to the class... My oldest is in 3rd grade. That book broke me (especially when we watched the movie after...) but my person and animal loving boyo would not be ok... I think he'd have nightmares forever.

So, how do I ask my coworkers In the Baltimore area how they're doing with *gestures at all that's going on in DC/ the world* without it being taken as political, but still being clear enough that I'm an ally and want to know they're safe? This would be taking place on teams, hence- discretion.

ADHD life- yesterday I saw that I requested today off.
Why did I request a random Wednesday off?
I must have had a reason...
Seriously, what appointment do I have, what do I need to do? It's not in my planner, usual note places...

Yeah, we got seen earlier for a dentist apt that was set for today..

Watching Enterprise with my 4yo named Archer when he was sent home from daycare the other day for not listening and realizing how much of a curse that kid's Faith of the Heart is.... No one is ever gonna bend or break him...

I'll be running in a memorial day 10k. My dad is a veteran, and I want to be respectful, but will have a bib specifically to write an in memoriam... Is there anything I could write respectfully that also makes a point? Maybe Elisa Rae Shupe? But with her thoughts, would that be a dishonour? Ideas?

husband, 46, broke his leg 2 years ago, body can't handle manual labor w/ no chance to advance. got an email Fri "we'll get to you asap." I warned him of this. We're in CO Spgs, that= tons of govt/military/contractors. I keep thinking he's so close to getting it, if he hasn't by now, will he ever?

Empty Chair Town Hall was a great experience. I wish I could have stayed the whole time, but my sign got some love. Super easy when your congressman has a name like Crank (loved the speaker who said to not call them representatives because they aren't representing us!)

Taking my kiddos on a road trip to KS with my Fox News addict dad in a few weeks. I will be driving. What should I force him to listen to? He retired out of USAFA, should I go for the jugular and listen to Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social ? Maybe QAA? Or play it safe with @ologies.bsky.social?

I finally got the rotten husks of our jack-o'-lanterns into the trash. 🎃

Now, if anyone knows how to get rid of powdery mildew/ mold from our raised beds (just beds with soil right now, no plants,) I'll love you forever.
I did sprinkle powdered milk in them since I've read milk helps?

My kiddo had a snow day (remote learning) today. They called it yesterday evening since the forecast called for a blizzard. Snow didn't even stick, it's 39*F and super sunny. I'm pretty sure this is what we have to look forward to with NOAA not having any folks left to get better forecasts...
