Teens aren’t a walk in the park, but I can console myself with the fact that they’re children/don’t know better. I could never manage adults; I hate working with most of them as it is, especially if what they do (or don’t do) affects my ability to do my job.

Happy (belated) birthday! 🎁🎂🎉🎈
Though we couldn’t fix those things for you, I hope you were able to find something to enjoy yesterday. 🫂❤️

I also hate the societal guilt that comes with taking a day off. I spent an hour trying to decide if I’m sick “enough” to justify it. Why isn’t just not feeling well all I need? It’s better for everyone if I stay home and keep my germs to myself.

Problem solved one way or another, right?

I’m glad you see both the humor and usefulness in the gift!
We’ve talked about getting one because every school year for three years straight someone has hit me (thankfully, little to no damage), but haven’t yet (and no one has hit me yet this year🤞).

They’re regulars on my wishlists for similar reasons! I have Hedwig from a previous holiday that I haven’t started and a bouquet from a previous holiday that I started and finally found a small vase for at Dollar Tree while looking for stocking stuffers! This Christmas, I got the Piranha plant.

I’m not sure it’s the type of thing I’d like to win, though. heh.

It’d make a great Lifetime movie, I’m sure! heh.

Cousin admitted it in his statement to police. We know this because the stupid police officer left his notebook behind and we found it when we went to get Grandma’s medication.
And that was the end of family dinners, as you can imagine.

They lived next door to each other. Boyfriend and cousin were always arguing over the fence. One day, cousin and uncle broke in the back door. Uncle assaulted SiL and cousin stabbed boyfriend, but no one saw it and Grandma was a hoarder, so they didn’t try to collect evidence.

Do I get to join the “family members involved with meth and went to prison” club with you and Laura?
A better story, though, is when my husband’s cousin murdered my SiL’s boyfriend in Grandma’s kitchen and got away with it because the police did not give one single fuck.

Why does this make me want to share my sordid family history?!

Same, but I’m so jaded that I barely even care anymore. 🤣

Same. I also hate the flowery emails; I don’t care if you hope I had a great weekend or whatever nicety, I just want you to get to the point in the shortest amount of time possible.

I hate that feeling, but it helps me to remember that there’s a literal biological reason we feel better after we cry, so do what you’ve got to do to make it through. 🫂❤️

I hate when entire seasons aren’t released at the same time, so we’ve just started our rewatch so we will finish around the time the last episode is released on NYE.
Enjoy the new episode tonight!

Could you decide on the genre ahead of time? Or rotate who picks?

And with how far you’re traveling that totally makes sense. I just have a teacher’s bladder, so I can usually wait because I don’t want to ask either. I, unfortunately, spend entire flights feeling like my arm is in the way if I’m in an aisle seat, too. Good luck with no one taking the middle seat!

Personally, I’m a window seat girl (I’m generally not flying as far as you), but if I’m alone, I choose empty rows first (wishful thinking) and then my preferred seat where there’s no one in the center with the hope that no one takes the middle seat between two strangers.
