State farm: if you buy our life insurance policy we pay out faster than other policies Me: we aren't concerned about that. We won't be put out by a delayed payment State farm: well the bank can freeze your accounts Me: they can't touch this ... 🧡

I currently teach public school and will be a homeschool mom in approximately 25 days... My daughter (4yo) thinks she needs to ask permission to use the bathroom at HOME. I feel triggered.

My heart was so full today when my friends and family loaded up in my minivan with room to spare and we were able to go on an adventure together to the zoo and had a great time. ❤️

My pit bull is broken. However, he used to climb on the roof so this is an improvement.

I enjoy the option to be a woman with emotions that is a delicate flower that isn't meant for hard labor. 2nd wave + feminists are wild.

TIL that my facial cleanser has red 40 and my moisturizer has blue 1. I really don't care what color these items are if they're being washed down the drain?

I blamed my 4 year old for moving my Kindle when it was my cat the whole time.

It's weird to take selfies with the deceased/casket at a funeral. Zero respect.

When your husband agrees on adding to the "shit and git" bag... Maybe we're both crazy? At least we're both on the same page 🤷‍♀️

Shower thoughts of the week: "I should post about intruder drills in public schools" aka active shooter drills "Wow JFK files... actions towards reducing the dept of Ed... what a week" "I don't have anyone to talk to that understands that our money is broken and Bitcoin is the solution" (other than my husband)

Someone give me the tldr on the JFK files. This mama is tired and still disappointed from the supposed "Epstein" drop.

Magnesium glycinate has helped so much at bedtime. I'm an anxious person and it's helped me relax and fall asleep more easily. 💤

Garden kickoff 2025 🎉 1. Indoor herbs (chives, cilantro, rosemary, dill) 2. Cucumbers (not planted yet) 3. Expanded edging around the patio (now surrounding the wildflower patch) + another stair uncovered 4. 3 tiered beds (L-R: big tomatoes w/ basil, cherry tomatoes w/ basil, strawberries) 5. Blackberry bush (to add to the other four... I always forget about them) 6. Cherry blossom trees x4 (oval beds in progress... digging is laborious)

Where it started: "Epstein managed Les Wexner's funds so I'm not going to shop a L brands anymore" (Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, The Loft) Then: "I hope Victoria's Secret closes my account because I don't want my daughter seeing their ads in our mailbox" Now: "Bath & Body Works scents can cause cancer so I'm going fragrance free" (only replace what I run out of, no waste)

Today I had to tell a student that I couldn't lend her a personal copy of a novel because I could get sued. However, if she checks it out from the school library there wouldn't be any legal recourse.

Here's an anecdote about government waste in public schools directly from a teacher: 2023: School district implements new curriculum and purchases 3 new textbooks for highschool ELA classes. 2024: Teachers overwhelmed by new curriculum + a mountain of tasks/requirements outside normal duties. Teachers only required to use 2 out of 3 textbooks (thankfully). 2025: Teachers again required to use 2 out of 3 textbooks. However, the district wants make space to purchase more textbooks. School librarian drops off textbook #3 outside all English teacher classrooms and directs them to hand them out to students. Students can then take them home and dispose of them. Hundreds of textbooks per school, x5 schools, are being thrown away because the district has decided to purchase something else. The best part is that admin is telling teachers they aren't pulling their weight (earning their salary) and to complete additional certs so the school can receive more government funding (research FTE model). Maybe if textbooks weren't thrown in the trash, that money could have been used to pay teachers salaries.... I can expand on why FTE is not in the interest of teachers or students, but I'll save that for another time.

Happy belated 11th anniversary @OceanSlim ❤️ Flu A was ravaging our household in January so we combined Valentine's with our dating anniversary. We're watching American Psycho for the first time. Hopefully we didn't make a mistake. 😆
