Caught my 8 year old doing push ups while sticking his tongue in and out. Apparently he was “being a lizard”

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

My five-year-old had a headache all morning. When he told his teacher about it, he told her, "When I STOMP really hard, it hurts my head." She responded, “okay, let’s try not to do any big stomping today then.”

This was blue this morning. Crazy what a little rain can do. #hilary

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

Waiting for #Hilary to arrive and just got notification of an earthquake nearby. Weather gods are ANGRY.

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

Eeriness to the atmosphere in Orange County. Shopping cards full of bottled water. Crowded sand bag filling stations around the neighborhood. An odd cool breeze that came out of nowhere. And a gloominess to the sky that makes you feel like you “better get home soon” #Hilary

@rdjones power is back fyi 🎉

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

@rdjones Only one problem with these: they are not flats as I specified

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

I need suggestions for closed toe, professional flats. I have about 5 pairs of the Rothy’s pointed toe, but I want to switch things up. What are your faves? Professional and comfortable are my two main criteria.

Every time you have a kid, your old family photos become obsolete

I can see 4 giant orb weaver spider webs with huge spiders sitting right in the middle of them from my living room window. 😱 I remember seeing a lot of them in 2019 (another rainy winter), but not many since then. Do rainy winters mean more orb weavers?

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

I’ve been using BeReal for over a year now and only have two friends. 😿Surely a few of you use it too? https://t.co/Ioc7eTbHlp

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

There have been three major wind storms in SoCal so far this year, and every single one of them has coincided with me being in an airplane at the same time.

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

I recently taught my kids how to take their socks off without turning them inside out, and my laundry days now take approximately 3 hours less time.

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

Considering not going to an outdoor event tonight because it’s only going to be about 50 degrees. I need a true midwesterner to slap me.

Picked my 7yo up from summer camp and asked how his pool day was. He said, “really good, we had to walk a long ways and I was very patient. I only yelled WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE THERE!! 3 or 4 times.”

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

Today I told my kids that girls can achieve anything they want, to which my 7yo responded “and smoke anything they want.” 🤔

[Tessa Jones @tessalr]

Took the day off, first one in forever, and of course woke up with a splitting headache.
