When your one of the “rare ones”and one of the “rare ones” of the students finds out
rs “your Mexican?
Me”yes”
rs “ALL Mexican!??”
Me smiling “yes���
rs says excitedly “ME TOO!! My mom is ALL Mexican. And my dad is ALL Mexican too!”
Me “my parents are all Mexican too” 😍
All the while I feeling my mom. So she comes back and I was going to say out loud Thanks mom but my girls started doing something off to the side of me and then the lady walked off and that was it. So I was left thanking my mom in my head. I love my mom. She still helps me.
Lately have been getting this pushing feeling of “just get him out of the house for a little bit” like my mom is telling me about my dad right so I finally ALMOST get him out but augh I doesn’t happen( I won’t give up) well I ask if he needs anything from the store 1
Oh no the sweet-n-low! And she says you want me to get it? And I say yea you would? Usually at that time I would say oh no! Feeling bad about the line behind be and tell them no I can get it later but before anything she goes yea! And started to walk away to get it! 3
No one told me about the emptiness you feel inside when your mom dies.
With all the praying of acceptance because I know she is up there with my sister and other loved ones, there’s still a part in my brain that is agreeing with my heart that this can not be true.

As I lay here in my mom’s bed I had this realization that I will never get to lay next to her and talk to her again. I miss her all ready, she’s in her hospice bed in the living room but I miss her. I miss my mom. Even though I knew and know, I never really believed.

I’m back to being able to read but I mean devour the words and feel the emotions of the characters. To be able to fall into the words of the story.
Don’t tell me having a having doesn’t mess with you entirely,or that hat you go right back to your old normal self right away. #bs
Serious question How do you trust your first instinct?
I want to teach my girls this but I can never seem to trust my own. It never fails and when I think that okay I am trusting my first instinct I rethink it and don’t and regret it instantly.

I have a 5th grade student that wants Arabic English Bilingual books. Picture books or chapter books (elementary). Any recommendations?

Such a mom fail.
My preschooler doesn’t have to take much in, the day she’s supposed to take a book to school I forget. 🤦🏽♀️
The mommy that is a school librarian, forgets her 📕.
I’m disappointed in myself how I mommy, yet again.
My oldest always reminds me of my older sister I lost 8 years ago. Well we have her bangs and 😮💨😢😮💨😢
I just looked up real quick to talk to her and boy 😭
Went to Sant Monica Pier for a last yay family thing before school starts Monday. Too many people for me.
No one tells you or at least not me, about the freaking anxiety & horrible intrusive thoughts when you have kids at places like this.
That are bad.
