Ever find something unusual in your freezer?
This is currently in ours.
Why? Because it's important to one of my kids.
I haven't asked for further explanation yet. And when I do, I likely won't completely understand the response.
I suspect the response will be something like, "Because I found it outsi...
Do you ever feel like life should be linear? Like if you put in the effort, things should just move forward? Steadily?
Yeah, me too.
And yet...It never does.
Five steps forward…two steps back.
Three steps forward…one step back.
And sometimes, you take one step forward and face-plant.
We just got back fro...
I don't understand about 20% of what my boys say.
It's not because they don't enunciate.
It's not because I'm hard of hearing.
It's because the words they say just don't make sense to ME. Such as...
"He was goated."
"He was what?"
"Goeted."
"What does that mean again?"
"Mom, I've told you what goated means....
When someone says, "I'm proud of you..." how does that make you feel?
It likely depends, right?
I recently received an email stating the sender was proud of me, and the sender was someone I've NEVER met.
Ummm...Thank you? I'm glad to hear you're proud of someone who didn't know you existed prior to you...
How do you eat your cereal? What tools do you generally use?
The other day I reminded my son it was time to go and told him to finish up his bowl of cereal...which appeared to be just as full as it had 10 minutes earlier.
"Buddy, it's taking you a loooonnng time to eat that cereal. We need to go."
Then...
Do you ever feel gross after an interaction with someone? And you can’t quite put your finger on why?
It COULD be because the person was less authentic than you prefer.
At least if authenticity is particularly important to you.
Authenticity is one of my primary values. At least when it comes to m...
"Hi. I can just hand this to you, right?"
That's what I said to the UPS guy as I handed him my Amazon return.
"Umm...What are we doing with it?"
"Oh, right. Would context be helpful?" 😂
Apparently I'm not the only UPS customer.
I'm frequently amazed by how challenging it is to simply remember how to inte...
"Back in the day, Moms made their kids pancakes & stuff for breakfast. So kids were healthier then. And they didn't need to get up so early."
"Back in the day, huh? Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah...In the 40s or something. I know because I read Lassie."
This was my conversation with my 12-year-o...
Have you seen one of my favorite skits of all time? With Bob Newhart? Do yourself a favor & watch it immediately.
One of My Favorite Skits of All Time
I'll wait...
I'm not just sharing because it makes me laugh every...single...time I watch it.
It also reminds me how ridiculous we can be...Human...
I was just about to get into the shower when my son barged into the bathroom. (We're working on knocking.
"Mom, you said I could show you my monsters in my game! And now you're getting in the shower!"
"Oh, that's right, buddy. I'm sorry. I did. Hold on."
Although I had acknowledged his request & ...
Can you believe it's February?
Do you recall the new year's resolutions you made? Are you excited about the “smart” goals you set?
I’ve heard a few people say January was a trial run for them, & THIS month...THIS is the one where things are going to change.
Fantastic! Let’s do it!
I in...
