@gmk_julie Attended Homeschool Conference weighing home vs traditional, went to every “prevent burnout” session. Organizing tips & sample schedules. Not a single “here’s how I take care of ME…this is when I [exercise, have date night, get alone time].” No self-care or breaks spoken of.🤔😱

@TJLang70 Anything with that much mayonnaise just ends up tasting like mayonnaise & that’s a crime against egg salad. If you want THE best egg salad recipe, hit up Mr. B! His version will have you goin’ broke from buying eggs at these prices.💸🥚🤤

@iamjasonk It’s truly unreal. 9 emails in the same day AND 2 text messages from the same company!? Makes me really appreciate the unsubscribe feature in Gmail so I can break up with them without giving them one more hit of web traffic.😒

@iamjasonk @therootinc I knew that beautiful piece of art was a map from @therootinc! Love it, @iamjasonk.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@iamjasonk Yesterday, I referred to this month as February. My son was born February 12th, he is almost 6 weeks old. And my birthday was March 1st. Sleep deprivation have me like 🙃🗓🤷🏼‍♀️!!!

My husband & I were shopping for a SAFE!! Apparently https://t.co/lPVrz5yL90 knows we’re having babies back-to-back (they’ll be less than 13 months apart) and they think we need a hint!?😆🤷🏼‍♀️ #costcowholesaleforthewin #jokesonus

@iamjasonk Care to share your parenting playbook!? She’s only 6 months, but being new to this parenting gig & being mostly stuck in the house, we’ll take all the help we can get!

Initially read this as “Let the fun be Gin” and thought: you know me so well, @ToledoLibrary! Despite my disappointment that it has nothing to do with adult beverages, still a great email newsletter.#lovemylibrary🥃🤤

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@iamjasonk Same, Osgr. Same.😆

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@livelylibrarian And apparently a broke college student.😂

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@mickjacobsen Whoo-hoo!! That’s so awesome, Mick. Congratulations!!!🎉

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@tigers @WillyWilson18 Nah, this is more like it.

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@ReferenceGrrrl I’m going to take a drive to Michigan so my daughter can finally meet my siblings & all her cousins!😭💓

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

Yes! Scenes from Arachnophobia have been flashing in my mind for hours. It really was horrifying. The worst part is I swatted it off & have no idea where it is now.😐

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

2/2 No idea how I remained calm in the moment. And even though my husband searched the bedroom before going back to sleep, I’m processing this morning...do we a) call an exterminator, then hang bug netting b) sell the house & move immediately or c) set the house on fire?😫🕷🔥🏡

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@ReferenceGrrrl Thank you for recognizing my bravery. I don’t know how I kept it together, either. Probably because I REALLY didn’t want to wake my baby girl up!! I will definitely tell her this story some day: “the SACRIFICES & things I’ve endured for you...”🤣

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

1/2 You guys. I woke up at 3:30am to a spider crawling ACROSS MY FACE. Send awards & prizes because I deserve ALL.OF.THEM for not screaming bloody murder & waking up every living thing in a 1-block radius, including the 10 week old sleeping in our room!😳🚫🕷😱

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@iamjasonk She’s made appropriate use of @taylorswift13 lyrics. I might argue we *all* need this message to some degree right now.🎶😂

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@iamjasonk I have to keep reminding myself that most of what I’m seeing is no longer “live” but “previously recorded.” And instead of yelling at the tv for various sporting events (those were the days), I’m yelling “too close” & “AH! No handshakes!” at things that are still live.🙈😂

[Elizabeth Bondie @e007ie]

@iamjasonk Your Twitter feed has been keeping me quite entertained as I sit here on maternity leave & Covid-19 lockdown with literally nothing else to do but hold my 2 month old in one hand & my cell phone in the other. Thank you for providing yet another public service, good sir.🎭👌🏼😂
