My daughter and some of the neighbor kids decided to run a lemonade stand. The Amazon driver stopped and Zelle-ed me four dollars for a cup of lukewarm, watery goodness. You are the best, Tauraun. #parentsky #kids #TauraunDaBomb

This is what Christmas Eve looks like when your kids are at their dad’s house this year. Glass of wine, TV, Chinese delivery, and a pile of gifts to wrap. Holy shit, man…this fucking rocks. #parentsky #holidays #divorce

Got a visit from my next door neigh-bor (see what I did there?) Houston is a major city, but its sprawl hides a lot of fairly undeveloped areas where some people still keep livestock. This particular horse also has a pig sidekick, but he didn’t show up today. #Houston #AcresHomes

Today is the hardest day of pet ownership for me and my sweet senior cat Archie. So many vet visits. Months of anxiety and discomfort as we tried to figure out, fix, all the things in his body that kept going wrong. Today it ends, hopefully before the pain got too bad. I love you, dear boy.

My daughter wrote me a note in the dirt on the back of my car. It says “lovemom” with a heart. Kids have the best way of letting you know you’re loved while simultaneously reminding you you’re failing at adulthood.

Griswold v. Connecticut will be next after they overturn Obergefell. Of course, maybe non-voters will finally start to care once they take away contraception.
