@MrsGoresDiary This is so sweet! How did you transition from tooth fairy to milkshakes though? Like how did you explain that to your kids??

History of the United States Flags 🇺🇸

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

On the final day of the Constitutional Convention, as the last delegates were signing their names, 81 year old Benjamin Franklin looked up at the chair behind George Washington.

On the back of the chair was a sun.

Franklin had stared at that sun for months through every bitter argument, every deadlock and every moment he wondered whether the whole thing would collapse.

He turned to the men near him and said:

“I have often and often, in the course of the session, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.”

This is our history. Come experience it.

Okay- ADHD/Time Blindness:
Being chronically late and missing things is not an ADHD specific issue. I know plenty of people who are neurotypical and always late. It’s actually more of a selfish issue. If you truly don’t like being late and letting people down, you adapt and find ways to avoid this. Trust me, I know. One thing I have done is set my goal time to be 30 minutes before a start time so when the unavoidable happens, I can typically still be there on time. If I am that early, well, I have my phone or a book to keep me company. (If kids are involved, they have books and drawing stuff.) Time blindness is the inability to gauge time. You don’t feel what 10 minutes versus 2 hours is. You can’t sit in the same living room at different times of the day and feel like you are in morning or afternoon. You don’t know if it is 9p or 12am. You don’t feel the lapse in time- unless you are super bored and then one minute is physically painful. You forget to look at clocks. I have my phone and a watch and will never look at the time. I just forget it even exists. I have to put appointments in my phone calendar as I am standing there making it just to make sure I don’t forget about it. But, I recognize that everyone else’s time is valuable, and I need to get outside of myself to be a positive person/patient/client in other people’s lives.

Being neurodivergent is not an excuse to be rude. If being chronically late is an issue, then do something to change it. Having ADHD/AuDHD/Autism doesn’t give you a pass, it gives you a responsibility to work at finding how you can still be productive and treat others with respect.

If I told you that you had to be somewhere at 7am to collect a cheque for a £1 million and if you were even 1 minute late you wouldn’t get it, you’d be there, in fact you’d probably get there early. You just don’t respect other people’s time enough which is a character flaw.

You do not need to echo the talking heads. You do not need to have a hot take.

Show us instead the small, mundane, beautiful moments of your fading June. The now-waning light, the fireflies, the flowers.

All infinitely superior to The Current Thing ™.

We made cookies.
It's time to eat the cookies.
7 yo asks: "How many can we have?"
I frown: "Just one."

5 yo after a pause:

"Do you mean one at a time, or just one?"

@mrsdobbins_ Prodromal labor is the worst because you just want it to be REAL 😆 but it did comfort me when my OB said the contractions WERE actually doing something—dilating, getting my body ready to give birth, etc. It’s not wasted pain!

“LOL the US fans actually think they can win the World Cup”.

Buddy, we have won 2 World Wars and landed on the Moon by just thinking we can do something. It’s literally our whole thing.

@OldHollowTree We had that exact globe in our house growing up and now I’m feeling super nostalgic 😍
