Life is messy. And people are frustratingly, terribly, beautifully complicated.

Just got yelled at for being kind. "Why are you being kind now?!" How's your night going? LifeWithTeens 😳🤪🤣

Also true.

I made it to almost 5:00 today before getting bored! 🥳

It's true though.

OMG. Today has been sooooooooo boring. 😭😭😭

Yep. Bernie can go into the trash heap of history.

Seriously though. How is it August?

This is what the online left, who support El-Sayed, have been doing to Stevens, McMorrow, and their supporters for the last 16 months. They (and many, like here, are not from Michigan) turn every forum, online and in-person, into a toxic platform for bullying and abuse. www.wcmu.org/local-region...

Kiddo and I made orange chicken from scratch tonight. And it came out really good! For those who know my (lack of) skills in the kitchen this was a huge feat.

If you are pushing for El-Sayed in Michigan, you aren't serious about winning in November.

Spotted out in the wild. Low-rise jeans. Don't want to get too excited but maybe I'll be able to buy pants again this year! 🥳

When you haven't eaten all day and your neighbors bought a bottle of Jameson Orange just cuz you said you like it and it 9:00pm and still have to pick your kid up. 😬

Why yes, I think I will.

Registration today. I officially have a high schooler! 😱😭

So the guy messaged me about offering insight on something I posted on LinkedIn, saying "Call me" with his number. Never met him before. Never communicated. I called, and he answered, "Hello, (my name)". So Apple now just gives people our names even when have NEVER called them before? 😳

Is anything allowed to be good anymore. Are we not allowed to have fun? To be happy?

My daughter has been volunteering at a local library this summer. Helping out with the 3-5 year-olds doing crafts and such. Today a little girl came in with a bracelet she'd made at home. For my daughter. Because she likes her so much. The mom said she talks about her at home. 🥹💗

Yeah. Cuz I can see independents voting for this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's wild watching people become the very thing they claim to be fighting against.

Cosign. It is also quite possible to not mourn or even care the death of someone who caused damage to our country without gleefully celebrating death.

I can and will express my contempt for Lindsay Graham. I do not expect my Democratic Reps or Senators to do the same. Some of you assholes never learned how to behave like fucking adults, and that's why anything you attempt to build will fail - no strength, no self-discipline, no ability to focus.

Not a bad way to spend the day.

Anyone know what kind of tree this is and the cotton-like thing it produces?

Forget Real Housewives. Do a show on multi-generational women sharing a hotel bathroom. 🤣

Heads up. Platner has not actually dropped out and says he won't do so until Monday. The deadline for him to drop out and still allow for a process to replace him is... yup... MONDAY at 5pm. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬
