Introverted Mama

I'm an academic, teacher, writer, introvert, highly sensitive person, and mother of two wonderful boys. My life is full, fulfilling, and often exhausting!

#CharterSchoolsFalling What is needed? State & federal reform. It’s time to fix charter school laws. @SenFeinstein @SenBooker @RepJoshHarder @RepZoeLofgren @RepRaulRuizMD @RepEdCase @SanfordBishop @SenatorBennet https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

#CharterSchoolsFalling By propping up for-profits. Charter lobby opposes CSP regs to end for-profit-run charter greed & white-flight charters. Where do you stand? @ChrisCoons @gillibrandny @PattyMurray @SenAmyKlobuchar @SenBobCasey https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

#CharterSchoolsFalling By shutting their doors. 1 in 4 charter schools closes shop within 5 years. @RepJimmyGomez @RepJoshHarder @RepZoeLofgren @RepRaulRuizMD @RepEdCase @SanfordBishop @RitchieTorres https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

#CharterSchoolsFalling By losing Democrats. Only 10% strongly support while 23% give weak support. Yet @SenFeinstein @SenBooker @SenatorBennet break ranks w/ colleagues & oppose reforms to stop for-profit & white flight charters from getting federal $$ https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

#CharterSchoolsFalling By losing support. Only 15% of Black Americans strongly support charter schools. @SanfordBishop @RepUnderwood @RepJeffries @RepAOC @RepMaxineWaters @BobbyScott @RitchieTorres https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

#CharterSchoolsFalling By losing trust. Appropriations Chair De Lauro calls out charter lobby for “wild exaggerations and misrepresentations.” @rosadelauro @RepJahanaHayes @USRepKCastor @RepValDemings @repmarkpocan https://t.co/d6y3tibJOL

Was wondering why I’m so tired and have no energy this afternoon. Realized that I fed my kids lunch but didn’t eat anything myself. #momlife

[Introverted Mama @mamaintrovert]

The worst!

Me: I wonder why it’s so hard for me to make friends

Also me: Wonders if Alexa is mad at me when I make a request and she answers with “sure”

@OhioMomoftwo My 5 made a no singing in his room rule and he also yells at me when I dance in the car. It starts early....

[Introverted Mama @mamaintrovert]

@Tired_Dad_of_2 My kids play this too! They call it “rock paper anything.” 7yo’s favorite is volcano.

[Introverted Mama @mamaintrovert]

Today I tried to explain to 5 that he couldn’t bring a wood chip home because wood chips like to be with their friends and if you brought it into your house it would be sad because it would be all alone. I’m sure most of you have already spotted where I went horribly wrong.

[Introverted Mama @mamaintrovert]

@mhill226 @kristenmeinzer I had the same thought. I’m in academia and I’d say it’s about 50/50 among the women I know. I kept mine and never even considered changing it.

Me when someone says, "Just call this number and talk to this person."
