I love my family, friends, baseball, traveling, cooking and a whole lot more.

Kids were upstairs entertaining themselves. @TOPolk was upstairs. I was happy for 15 mins to decompress. Bell rings: solicitor. Told him I wasn’t interested, tried to leave a card. I said “I’m not interested in that either.” You ruin my rest, I don’t want to use your services.

Alex: “Mom, is Grammy your mom and Grampy your dad and Uncle Timmy your brother?” Me: “Yup, that’s right.” Isabelle: “And Uncle Mike is your dead brother.”(my brother Mike would have found that exchange hilarious.)

Joined a Buy Nothing Group on FB. Have gotten rid of a few things so far and it’s glorious. I’m gonna list all of the things.

I’m at the “I just had a few drinks and went online shopping and look forward to all the summer tank tops I bought myself but don’t have anymore drinks until the girls are in bed & you’ve set everything up for your youngest’s bday and don’t cry because she’s about to be 3” stage.

@TOPolk Me. I am convincing you.

[Finchy @eefinch]

Whenever we get solicitors at our door I’m 100 times more likely to make sure I never use their services. Please leave me alone. This is my house, not a store. When I say “No thank you.” And they keep going I definitely don’t want to use them.

At the doctor’s office. I’m literally the 2nd appt of the day. (8am). The past 30 minutes, I can hear mumbled conversation of my doctor talking with another patient. Like I appreciate her giving time but also why are these appointments scheduled so close together then?

Families can be complicated. Experiencing loss with complicated family relationships still evokes grief. For so many reasons. Lots to process.

I can totally see why people have so many. Already thinking about other tattoo ideas 🤷‍♀️

@chambrayallday @TOPolk Haha T’s quote is from a Key and Peele skit “Alien Imposter” & that was my initial response to seeing that part 😜

They asked me questions as I was trying to start the meeting. I literally said “I’m happy to talk with you after this, but I’ve got to run this meeting first.” The meeting is a quick check-in and lasts no more than 10 minutes, normally no more than 5.

[Finchy @eefinch]

I had two grown men (both older than me) get upset because I told them I would meet with them later because I had another meeting to run (one they both SHOULD have attended). One literally stormed off and said “Clearly you don’t care.” Neither meetings were time sensitive.

Talking with her is a moment I’ve replayed in my head over and over. I’ve doubted if we did it “right”. I almost cried when her teacher told me. It was one of those moments of relief that I didn’t completely f up in parenting during an especially difficult moment.

The director of the girls’ daycare died a few weeks ago. We talked w/Iz. Today the teachers all wore shirts honoring the director. Iz’s teacher told us she did a great job talking to her friends about it . She said “She told them they might be sad and that’s OK.” 1/2

Listen…I can’t take the hopeful anticipation of an NSYNC reunion that’s likely not going to happen and the potential for a Bones reunion that also might not happen… stop teasing entertainment community

This visit was many things. It was my 1st time home in years. It was great to see people. It was hard to see family aging. It was full of hugs. It was full of all the typical things that come with grief. It was great to share/hear stories about my grandfather. It was many things.

I like the parts of travel where I’m actually physically in the places that I’m traveling to or back home. I am not a fan of the actual travel itself. #hoursevenandgoing #therewereonlyoptionswiththreehourlayovers #istillhaveaflightbaggageclaimandcarridehome
