Didn't sleep last night, so I saw reports as they were coming in. Dozed off this morning and woke to a text that a chaplain friend is on one of the ships, his wife asking that we pray for him and those he serves.
Kyrie Eleison.
The first time I ever had a tweet do numbers was when I said Bill Clinton absolutely abused his power, and his wife defending him is part of why she didn't get elected.
Ain't nobody defending Bill Clinton out here.
I've been receiving anonymous packages from my Amazon wishlist. I know y'all are involved.
Thank you.
Parents of teens and tweens, what kind of monitoring do you have on their phones, and what ages are your kids? My kids want to know.
I, too, have failed a paper in which I cited the Bible.
As a Relion major at a Christian university.
Because it was badly written.
Can I claim persecution, too?
Right. I didn't love everything about Danielle's approach, but MW was completely classless.
All of it was so unnecessary.
I worked in a rural east TN school cafeteria during Obama's first administration. MAHA can't gaslight me into thinking they care about health.
Yall. Tip your delivery people. And if you're ordering door dash during a tornado watch or other severe weather event, tip them more.
It really is okay to want everyone to thrive, not just the people nearby who look like you
Oh my word, "Ruin the Friendship." Ouch.
A thing you probably could have figured out about me: I listen to the clean versions of explicit albums.
Say what you will, but I'm not playing around with subtlety when bad interpretations of these Scriptures have caused so much pain and destruction. Let's just rip off the bandaid and be uncomfortable for a few minutes and say what needs to be said.
"That is a terrible reason to get married. Paul was not advising people to get married just so they could have sex."
"Paul was not saying that husbands and wives have a right to demand sex from one another. At no point ever does anyone have a right to demand sex." And then when we got to the "burn with passion" verse,
It's been awhile since I've worked with teenagers, and I've lived a whole lot of life since then. So in discussing 1 Corinthians 6 and 7 with them, I got real blunt and said,
Prayers appreciated. Im about to finalize negotiations on a vehicle.
In a perfect world, everyone would make enough money to live on, nobody would have to ask for child support, and transmissions in minivans wouldn't suddenly give up. But here we are.
I'm really blown away by this. In a million years, I couldn't have imagined my car dying a sudden death one day and shopping for a replacement the next.
The only reason I don't spill tea is because I have too much class for that. And I hope people are thankful.
I only took Tylenol with one of them, and it's not the one with a touch of tism. All three breastfed. All three cloth diapered. We started out not vaccinating, and signs of ND behaviors came before we started.
I have three neurodivergent kids. (Dyslexia, ADHD, and very likely on the spectrum)
Guess what? I have all the ADHD symptoms, and their dad has all kinds of tism.

My sweet friend Michelle started a go fund me to help me replace my beloved minivan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Apparently I need a new car. And the money to buy it.

This week in unnecessary censorship...
Talked to my sons this morning about what kinds of circles they've come across on the internet, and reminded them that they should always beware of extremist thinking no matter which side it comes from.
"We know, mom."
Yeah, but I still have to say it.
I'm not sure what it says about me that one of my first crushes was Bernard from The Santa Clause (IYKYK), and I think my type is still David Krumholtz.
If I ever say something about going on dating apps again for any reason, please remind me that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
She had a project to make a slideshow that showed the steps of a recipe. So she insisted on actually making the recipe so she could share them with her class.
