Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people.

The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor.

Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.

@hawtmithra Need a clue: Watching, eating, or doing?

[Kate @MommyHasOCD]

@hawtmithra That could mean any number of things, from doing math to having crippling stage fright to randomly driving to Milwaukee after early dismissal.

@AutismOCDDoc Mid range- touching things that would be unlikely to make baby sick. I.e., clothes

Higher range- things that baby puts in mouth, like pacifiers, bottles.

[Kate @MommyHasOCD]

@AutismOCDDoc What level of anxiety does this currently bring? I say you set up a hierarchy.

Off the top of my head from my own fears

Lower-level exposures could work on nurse touching things that are not touched by baby—I.e., crib rail (baby won’t be pulling up for months)

[Kate @MommyHasOCD]

@hawtmithra Accurate.

@ljunk7 Some of us don’t have the metabolism of a sixteen year old, k?

@laurentheanimal I’ll take that and raise my husband the auto analyst who will literally be publishing a research note on the auto commercials tomorrow.

If I don’t see @MarthaStewart in the stands supporting @SnoopDogg during the #SuperBowlLVI half time show, I will be sorely disappointed.

If you don’t have 100 items for the hundredth day of school, may I suggest you pick up the goldfish you most definitely shouldn’t have left all over the back of my van? There’s probably enough.

@zoe_bearx You deserve love in every second of your existence. That boy looks so happy and I hope his joy rubs off on you, mama

@RichBiscuit21 Rewatching episodes of a favorite series. (No anxiety about the outcome, you already know what’s coming.)

You’ve got this.

Every time I see Marshall trip, I’m so grateful that @pawpatrol made the klutz a male dog. My daughters will see enough of the klutzy woman archetype as adults.

Another mom at pickup just backed her minivan into the spot perfectly in one move. When she opened the door to check that she was in the lines I gave her a thumbs up and she did a happy dance in her seat and this is exactly the energy I need right now.
