So many things. Let's laugh at them.
My 19 year old college freshman has more freedom and space than he has ever had in his life. He's blossomed socially, he's happy and busy with friends.
And he still sends me memes and texts me all the time and calls every week before Shabbos.
Literally nothing makes me happier.

I know the "shoes match your purse" rule is outdated... But is there a shoe and purse rule? Can I wear a black leather purse and pink patent shoes?

There's no use pretending anymore. I went to Trader Joe's and browsed for fun and then got excited about seasonal items. I might as well take up pickleball.

I am having the adultiest day in all of history. I have adjusted a bicycle seat, been to the post office, put things in storage, called the city, scheduled a permit inspection, and dealt with TWO different kinds of insurance.
I am SO grown up and definitely deserve ice cream.

Watching Spock and Nurys at soccer and the boys' coach is like "three burpees for punishment!" while the girls' coach is like "Skip! Skip faster! Around the cone!" 🤣
Both groups are having fun and doing the same amount of work just waaay different vibes.

Last night me did today me a favor and made a pot pie for dinner. When last night's children cleaned up the kitchen, they left it on the counter. So, tonight's children get whatever I can throw together for dinner.
