Ok, I have to admit something. My husband, daughter, and I have been binging Stranger Things, trying to rewatch it all before season 5. I…don’t think I’m emotionally hearty enough for it.

I just want to say that Trump’s new EO easing the H-1B fee to $100,000 is cruel. I work for a couple from India who were planning to go home for her grandmother’s 100th birthday in December. Now they won’t be able to go, and she will never meet their daughter.
They’re looking into moving to Canada.

My husband has a milestone birthday, and a book full of letters from his friends sounds like a great gift for an introvert.

Given the attacks on Planned Parenthood, I thought I’d share my experiences with them. As a young woman without health insurance, I went to PP multiple times for help with medical issues that I couldn’t afford treatment for anywhere else. They helped me without judgement.

Track is an excellent sport for the participants. It’s excruciating for the parents. The only thing worse than meets is the end of year banquet.
Guess where I am.

You know this...you're not a fool...moms deserve appreciation and support and I've got a way to help moms you know AND moms you don't know all at once.
It's very easy but it will not be available tomorrow.

If it’s very easy to become desensitized to the beauty and glory and goodness that surrounds us, it’s also easier than we may think to become re-sensitized. I’ve seen it happen.

One day, I was pushing my then-toddler on a swing while we waited for her big sister to get out of school. One of the dads was doing the same thing, idly pushing a swing and waiting for the bell to…

Yesterday I was walking down a public hallway when one of my kids called. I hit my earbud and said “hi, hon!”
A young woman walking toward me looked startled, then smiled and said hi back.
I hope she’s better at letting go of awkward moments than I am. Poor pumpkin.

We’re looking for an assisted living facility for my dad. What this country does to our elderly is shameful and today it feels like I won’t ever stop crying.

That shriek you heard was the sound of a million teens, processing their feelings in a non-short-video form.

I don’t wish ill on anyone, but I cannot express the depth of disinterest I have in hearing about how sad wealthy celebrities are about their houses burning up.

Can anyone recommend a show for me to watch with my dad? It needs to be kind of light, without sexy time stuff, because Dad has Alzheimer’s and isn’t always appropriate and I just can’t.
We’ve been watching Monk, but it’s set in San Francisco, where he met and married Mom, which makes him sad.

I finally broke down and made the internet famous Tini’s Mac and Cheese. It’s just as delicious and ridiculous as you would expect, and I am brimful with cheese and regret.

This is my first Thanksgiving since Mom died. I just didn’t want to cook the big meal without her, so I planned a day of travel. I’m taking my dad to visit his siblings before his Alzheimer’s takes that away too.

My husband is changing our router and I’m helping by coming up behind him every ten minutes or so and saying quietly, “Hon? The WiFi is out.”

I'm not saying it's been a hard week, but I just watched a video of a couple doing the dance from Dirty Dancing at their wedding reception, and when they nailed the lift I burst into tears.

One time I was throwing away some worn out dress shirts, and I realized what I needed to do was make Kiwi a fancy girl.

My dad has Covid. I'm isolating with him, because he has Alzheimer's and is vulnerable and can't be left alone.
One of the things I'm sad about is that Kamala's plan to pay family caregivers would relieve some of the stress of this time. Instead, this is only getting worse for so many of us.

Does anyone remember the mom blog revolution? Where we came together to share our struggles, advice, and stories about just how weird kids can be?
We need that, but for people taking care of elderly parents. Can someone please take care of that? Thanks.
