I've succumbed to whatever mystery plague my kids brought home Send help

I need everyone to know that I've made 4 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today

My dumbdumbs

My daughter demanded I draw her "happy goats" (how she says ghosts 🤣)

What's one random thing that makes you irrationally annoyed, even though it's innocuous? For me, it's when people squish their bread together in reels/tiktoks to show you how crunchy/tender their loaf is 😡

Me demanding phone calls, sending follow-up "per our conversation" emails, requesting meetings from everyone with any sort of authority at my son's school:

If you haven't heard the story of "Bismillah c'est les ténèbres" during the French school protests do yourself a favor and look it up

Someone in an Instagram comment asked why we can't harvest natural gas from Titan rather than fracking on earth. Saturn's Moon. SATURN. And I'm just -- What?!

The little kindergartner who was killed in that shooting yesterday 😭 i saw his picture on my feed and I can't cope with it

Will I ever stop crying? A memoir by Piggy Willow (the answer, apparently, is no)

My son's school had an assembly with a real penguin and apparently he did great, stayed seated and engaged the whole time My takeaway is that his teachers need to be more interesting than penguins

I'm so discouraged by every interaction that I have with my son's school, I don't know how I'm going to do 13 more years of this

Just emailed the principal and counselor bc today my son told me a kid told him no one likes him or wants to play with him during recess last week, so between these two incidents clearly there is a brewing problem that needs to be addressed

The irony of a group of kids chanting "[name] alert, [name] alert, run away from him" at my son while dressed up in superhero costumes for bullying prevention week Alanis Morissette couldn't write it better

I'm getting sick and I'm not happy about it

Sometimes when I sit and think that there are at least 3 members of my immediate family who, if they died tomorrow it would not be a surprise, it just. IDK. It sucks!

I'm about halfway through my reread of pride and prejudice and Darcy is about to propose and I'm so excited

Happy Thursday 😞

Had just arrived at a playground w my daughter, who I brought bc I felt guilty I was working & she was watching TV, when the school called. My son pooped a little in his pants & refused to wipe. So I had to drag her kicking and screaming back to the school to do that Then she ran down the hall

I'm scheduled to teach the same classes next semester, with the same schedule, so if it works out and my classes run, this will be my first year without teaching any French since ✨2010✨ Which makes me not only ancient, but also a little sad

I feel like the non-stop stress of kindergarten has caused me to have horrific acne and it's just adding insult to injury at this point

Reading Pride and Prejudice for the ???? time and man it is just so good Me to this book:

Once again calling for friends with kids who have IEPs (esp for ADHD and/or dysgraphia) OR friends who teach/have taught lower elementary, please PM me I have concerns re: My son and I'm not sure where to go from here

Starting A Tale of Two Cities tonight @eboldy.bsky.social let's see how this is

My son's school gives out Scholastic Book Club flyers each month and aside from the straight up nostalgia, I enjoy seeing what he decided to circle It's like a little glimpse into his lil brain Snakes and Gabby's Dollhouse? Kiddo contains ✨multitudes✨

I met a friend for coffee this morning (we actually both got matcha 🤣) and it was so nice My daughter also fell asleep on me pretty much the whole time (?!?) so I was actually able to sit and talk Needed that

I won't mention specifics for obvious reasons, but I snuck a little AI trap in one of my recent assignments and at last 3 students didn't even bother to read what AI spat out for them. Several more seemed to have caught on and swapped some details, but they very clearly ran the assignment through AI

Someone make me less sad, please
