Persist.

Keep going.

Keep showing up.

What you are doing matters.

Praying for Damar Hamlin and his family. It's shocking as a mom to four kids who play sports just how fast something can go terribly wrong. Lord, please keep my kiddos safe while they play the games they love and heal this young man!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

Filling in some things on the calendar and having to take deep breaths. Lol! Four kids is like… a lot of kids. The schedule is always crazy but I wouldn’t have my life be any other way!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

First “run” in a looonnnggg time! 2 miles of intervals. It was painfully slow BUT it was something.

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@mamaluvsher4 That’s a good use of procrastination time! Love it!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@mamaluvsher4 You need to by a bright color. My dad told me in Kinder that my bright blue shoes (the only pair in my size and I didn’t want them) would make me run faster. I still believe. The brighter the faster. 😂😂😂

My class of 3 year olds are the cutest VBSers out there! 😍😍😍

[jason mitchell @JasonEMitchell]

We had a great first day of VBS at @FBCSpringfield

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

Proud of their character!

[Shots Up Girls Basketball @17uUp]

Thank you for the shoutout and glad injury wasn’t as bad as it appeared. All on big community and have to support each other! @JennThomas1 @StrickHoopsLLC #girlpower

[Shots Up Girls Basketball @17uUp]

And that's a wrap for the season for both the 15/16U & 17U teams ending @USJN. Improvement from both teams from start of the season and lots of along the way! Keep chasing your dreams girls and we'll be there along the way cheering you on!

@fcpsnews We need details on what a school day will actually look like with social distancing at play. I need to know if my 2nd and 4th grader are eating in the cafeteria, playing on the playground, etc.

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@Lifetouch Hold on to them as in they our ours to keep or hold on to them as in you expect me to return them MONTHS from now when school returns. 🙄

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

Considering these a gift since @Lifetouch sent a pack of photos I didn’t pay for but I can’t return them because schools are closed. This policy of sending packages of pics to people who didn’t order is crazy. Just send a proof! Not paying! Not paying postage to return either!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@mamaluvsher4 @FBCSpringfield That’s because this generation doesn’t know how to communicate not in text form! I think he needs to make that one a weekly challenge so they can practice. 🤪

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@TerraCentreES We tried for 1.5 hours for both boys. 1st grader got into 1 class of 3 but the teacher never got in. 3rd grader finally got in 1 class of 2. Keep trying is an unrealistic ask. Families shouldn’t be asked to keep trying for hours everyday. There has to be a better solution!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@fcpsnews I’m glad FCPS is continuing... meanwhile only a fraction of students are along for the ride with them. Go to recorded lessons and google classroom assignments so our kids can get back to actually learning something!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

Anyone else feeling overtaken?! https://t.co/Uxo472mjt0

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

Thank you! Maybe it’s not the “right” choice but it’s definitely not the wrong choice! I will sleep better tonight!

[Fairfax Schools 🌟 @fcpsnews]

All FCPS schools will be closed Friday, March 13, 2020.
School offices and central offices will open on time with an unscheduled leave policy in effect for 12-month employees. (Condition 2). More details to follow.

[jason mitchell @JasonEMitchell]

@fcpsnews we will be keeping our kids home tomorrow. It's not your fault that nobody is getting tested, but we can't know how bad it is if nobody is being tested. We will not regret them staying home a day, but we might regret sending them one more day!

[Lilli Bess @lillimitch]

@fcpsnews How do you know there is no community spread when nearly no one is getting tested!? Only those with symptoms after international travel and those with close contact of a positive case.
