I always do this.


Are you people really that stupid? Do you smoke at the pump too? Rub sticks together? How about play with dynamite?

-I don't even own makeup.
-I have a full time salaried job that pays well and since having kids, I work prob an average of 10-20 hrs a week. Got a promotion in there, too. Shrug.


You and my husband have the same dental routine and both have 0 cavities. In the meantime I’ve had about 10 root canals, gum surgery, 10 implants when root canals fail. And I follow the rules. It’s genetics and it’s not fair!

We also sleep under 2 comforters. Actually 2 identical weighted blankets. When the bed is made, it looks pretty uniform.

I’m not sure what to think about your last statement. You’re aware teaching is hard, correct? I don’t get DCUMers who think you can just walk into a classroom and competently teach. We wouldn’t be facing such a large exodus from the profession if the job were easy.

I am with you on the black coffee. I drive 4+ cups a day.

My life doesn't revolve around my kids. I take care of them, but in some ways their lives revolve around me.

Why? You understand the movie theaters aren’t losing money on three tickets right?

I take three days to respond to texts and a week to emails. It’s not intentional, though. It’s ADHD.
