Lots of happy things happening here at the moment, but the biggest happy thing is that all six of our kids are under one roof, for the first time since Christmas 2019. I can hardly believe it. A full year and a half since the younger siblings have been with the oldest two. It feels like our collective joy is going to burst at the seams!
I bet it feels so good to have everyone together again! My sister has been "stuck" in Australia since March 2020 (we last saw her Christmas 2019 as well), and we really do miss her.
About needing alone time- I SO need alone time. I moved back in with my parents at 3 years ago, and finally moved out this past December. The timing was largely because I wasn't getting enough alone time, especially alone time at home, which is something I really need. To add to that, my mom and I work directly with each other. We're both teachers at the same school AND same grade level. We're departmentalized- I teach writing and she teaches reading, so we spend a lot of time planning together and we have the same students. We work surprisingly well together, but it's nice to not see her all day at work and then also at home (especially since our work schedules are identical, so we're always home at the same times).
I called Chris Vickery out on his “mom’s group” statement the other day. And in true fragile male ego/ cowardly fashion, he blocked me. He blocked anyone who disagreed with his bs.
I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and opinions on the state of our country. Recently, my brother-in-law was raging about “critical race theory” being taught in our schools. When my husband ask him to explain CRT, he said he doesn’t really know what it is but knows it’s purpose is to make white peoples feel bad about themselves. I told him perhaps white people SHOULD feel bad about themselves! 🤦♀️

Just wanted to say that the video at the end certainly doesn’t represent pure joy to me. Am I missing something? It is nothing but irritating.
