Went back to work after 22 years of being a stay-at-home mom. Survived four months and then quit due to mental health issues. The stress and anxiety wasn't worth it.

Ended up quitting six days ago due to all of the stress and anxiety. My mental health is more important than any job out there.

Had to get certified at work today and it stressed me out so much. I don’t know if I can handle all of this stress and anxiety on a daily basis.

My mental health is really important to me. I choose my friends accordingly.

Please like this tweet if it makes it onto your feed. I honestly wonder if they are actually being seen anymore.

[Kristi Bonney @KristiBonney]

Does anyone even use Twitter (I refuse to call it X) anymore?

Lost 50 pounds since April 2024 and I’m so proud of myself. I still have about 20 more pounds to go, but I refuse to stress over it.

Flew to Hawaii for a family emergency. Unfortunately my cousin’s husband passed away from stomach and bone cancer. It’s been an emotional time for the whole family. He had just celebrated his 50th birthday. I’d love for you to keep our family in your prayers. Thank you.

Spent 1.5 hours at the soccer field on Saturday and got burned so bad on my right side. I think I might have sun poisoning. My arm hurts so bad on Saturday and Sunday, like down to the bone, and the right side of my body is a little swollen. Never not wearing sunscreen again.

@AskTSA Thank you so much!

[Kristi Bonney @KristiBonney]

@TSA we fly on Friday. My husband applied and was approved for the REAL ID, but it hasn’t come in yet. The Dept. of Licensing punched a hole in his driver’s license. Will that be acceptable or does he need to find other forms of ID?

Remembering the brave sailors, soldiers, marines and pilots who gallantly fought and sacrificed their lives in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 so that I might enjoy a life of freedom.

Missing my 20yo daughter, who moved to Massachusetts a few months ago. It’ll be our first holiday season apart. Makes me so sad.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
