@MotherDucker menu calendars are the best! My kid has long moved out but I still do a dinner chalkboard for the spouse because asking 'what should I thaw out?' then debating daily about the options is so annoying😂
I’ve got kiddo sitting at the table with a green and a red pen to mark the school lunch calendar so I don’t have to repeat the lunch menu and “are you packing or buying?!” six times a day while she’s distracted with playing, reading, singing, etc.

@Knitpurrl I saw this video just the other day. She IS brave, damn, she did a fierce call-out of that behavior.
@Agatha the skeleton riding shotgun in the shopping cart is cracking me up. 💀😆
@Agatha love to see it! 🤩
My husband, hauling in my 2 fall seasonal decor totes from the garage: “This is a lot of stuff. Do you really need all this stuff?”
Also my husband: “Meteorological fall is Sunday. I can change the garden flags now if you want.”
Also my husband: “We don’t have enough wreaths. Or fall welcome mats. Oh, what about a shower curtain?”
@Zevon I think it’s the whole being a healthcare worker bit that I am hung up on. There was a lot of gaslighting then in the thick of it. And the gaslighting in the fallout. Damn. Never really got to process it in real time without “soldiering on.”
@rpardee my mom loved Harry Chapin so I think of Remember When The Music for her. Dad has cemented American Pie in my soul from countless bonfires and power outages in my rural childhood home.
🚨Big deal alert🚨
We are having a first grade friend over after school today. I’ll be serving apple slices, popsicles, and cool mom energy. I am reaaaaalllly hopeful this helps to tamp down some of Kiddo’s #anxiety and build confidence.
