it's so deeply weird to draw any kind of attention to someone not drinking. sure, some people are sober. some people might also have to drive home or get up early or be pregnant or have health stuff/medications/digestive systems that don't play nice with booze. NOT MY BUSINESS! have some punch!

Having both of our names start with an A means I get a lot of accidental calls because I’m the first person in people’s phonebook
Anyway, that happened twice today

We had to put our dog down a few weeks ago, and today my 2yo was looking in the backyard
"Lily gone? See Lily? Hi Lily Bee? Kiss Lily?" 🥺

As a Texan, I’m very disappointed in Donkey Hodie teaching my children to put carrots and beets in slow-cook chili.

Voted on the *17 new amendments* to the Texas Constitution
Still cannot believe this is the way it works here, but I did it.

Nearly every time my kid clicks on a Khan Academy book in the app, I’m surprised that they have poems by Sylvia Platt on a kids app
and then realize the author is CYNTHIA Platt

I fell behind this year, friends, I did not wear the fox shirt at all in September (pic for reference from last year)
Should I debut it at church tonight?

Some days you play with age-appropriate, Montessori learning toys
and some days, you just keep measuring your toddler’s body parts with a construction measuring tape while he giggles
(we also watch plenty of Little Bear etc, have no fear… and also less-educational stuff that his brother picks)

Zelinsky’s Rapunzel has lived in my head rent-free since I checked it out from the library circa 2000
And now we have a hardback copy!
(Unfortunately ThriftBooks did not note that there is something sticky on the first couple pages 😣)

The animal alphabet poster my mom bought us has Q for “queen bee”
Should I replace it with “quail” or “quokka?”

I discovered egg whites are cheaper than eggs when they were 50¢ each*, so I’ve been padding our scrambled eggs with them
Wondering if this is the “weird thing my mom always did” my kids will be explaining to their college roommates.
*they’re still cheaper per serving, it’s just not as dramatic

My brothers and I had an interactive US map growing up that, when you pressed on a state, would say the state capital, probably state flowers and birds, or a fun fact
Which is why it is seared in my brain that the state fish of Hawaii is the humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa
Don’t ask me anything else though

All right nerds, what would you do on a weekend trip to Philadelphia in November, if it was your first time in the state?
(Also how bad will I freeze if I’m used to November being when the weather is *just turning* to be 50°-65°)

My 5yo just said “moo with me” and the only other time I’ve heard that was Idina Menzel in the Rent movie
Not sure which mooing was more obnoxious, but 5yo gets a pass for being 5 and not a performance artist I guess

My toddler poured out the ENTIRE canister of table salt on the ground (which he must’ve gotten out of the pantry because I don’t think I had it out for anything)
The salt grinder for coarse salt has disappeared
So now I’m using my molcajete to manually grind the coarse salt to a useable grain size.

I just bought derby shoes for my husband’s town job, no one tell Derek Guy
But they were on sale in his size, and the Oxfords weren’t, and his last pair of black shoes died this morning

Specialist immediately after assessment: we’re probably going to see him twice a month
Front desk when scheduling: so they’ll need to see him twice a week
Ok so 4-5 times as many co-pays. Cool cool cool cool cool

100ish years ago, my great-grandmother, a farm kid, visited somebody in the city and this person said they would make pancakes in the morning. Nanny and her sister were excited about cakes for breakfast
Next morning they get up see the breakfast, and say “oh it’s just plain ol flapjacks”

Yeah I know my 5yo is tall, but the five-point carseat harness is still fine right?
I look up the growth charts again, just for fun
Child in question weighs as much as an average 6 1/2-year-old, is as tall as an average seven-year-old.
Booster seat time, I guess
When did he get so big 😭

I just sang “I don’t like it, but I guess things happen that way” in my best Johnny Cash impression.

Trying to figure out the connection between the two
