    My mom called me a while ago and asked if I wanted her to bring me breakfast and coffee. I told her I wanted a egg breakfast sandwich with lettuce and tomato no meat and this is what I got 🤦‍♀️😆 no egg, just lettuce and tomato

    Tim’s has never been known for their great food...

    One time at a burrito chain I said I wanted a cheese quesadilla and I got cheese between two tortillas - no beans, no veg. Just straight cheese 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Enjoy what you can! Haha.

    My daughter, I thought we were done with this but she's being bullied again. She showed me messages she recieved and it really breaks my heart. People can be so cruel. Wish I felt better to be a better mom this week. I also wish she could follow my footsteps and leave social media aside a bit.

    I'm sorry T. That's difficult for you both. You being there for her and supporting her will mean so much to her. Whenever I told my parents I was being bullied (physically and verbally) they told me to suck it up. So I really admire you for showing her that support and compassion. I hope the bullies get a big dose of karma somewhere along the line, but mostly I hope your daughter doesn't internalise those words and knows her worth. Sending hugs 🤗

    She's at school today and called me on her lunch break and everything seems to be fine. I also called the school this morning so they are aware of what happened. Kids don't realize how much words and actions can hurt. I know for myself, I'm still hurt by things I've been told so I hope it doesn't stick to her too long. I'll continue to be there for her and make her feel the best she can about herself. She has blocked everyone that has bullied her and she does have a good group of friends ❤

    I feel this so acutely. My child has recently come out and changed their name and pronouns, which is hard for many many people to handle. The amount of teasing, mistakes, intentional ignorance, and outright hatred they have endured... It's heartbreaking watching them come home in tears over and over.

    The school is trying, the teachers are trying, many friends are trying, but there are many many who are using homophobic slurs, insults, and intentional misuse / mocking.

    As a parent, it is so devastating seeing the pain that others can inflict (intentionally or otherwise) on our kids... And feel pretty powerless to help.

    Big hugs to you momma, and to your child. Sometimes people really really suck. ❤️

    i'm so sorry to hear this! kids are so cruel. and things seem so much more difficult these days than when we were growing up...

    Agreed. It's pretty challenging to be a kid, or to parent one, now a days. I have no ide what I'm doing half the time.

    @Kashmir_314_ I've been wondering for a while now - does your username reference the Led Zeppelin song Kashmir?

    Imo QT has the best hot chocolate. I know, I know, a gas station? Yes. The mighty mocha 👌👌👌👌👌

    I love QT and when we're traveling north it's the only gas station we stop at. It's like a buffet of all drinks and then some... all kinds of coffees with all kinds of creamers, milkshakes, teas, sodas, smoothies, make your own slushies with probably 30 different options and I'm missing alot... I'll have to try the hot chocolate one day!

    Baths.

    They sound like a really great idea, right?

    Here's the thing - I get in and I'm immediately bored outta my mind. WTH is that? I'd honestly much rather take a nap....

    Same. Plus I don’t like soaking in my own dirt.

    I have fallen asleep in a bath before. I wasn't even intoxicated.

    So much work 🙄

    Are you the type that can fall asleep anywhere?

    The only place I can fall asleep (outside of my own home) is a movie theater! 🤣

    I can fall asleep anywhere but I may not stay asleep anywhere. I do get some sort of anxiety in unfamiliar places that will wake me a million times.

    I have been eating my feeling lately. I wish I exercised them instead. Finding that fault in myself makes me sad, so I eat about it. A vicious cycle.
    Also, my work out buddy ghosted me IRL. I eat about that, too.

    A picture hanging in my office. The picture is of me in a Christmas parade. A snapshot in time 30 years ago captured on a disposable camera. The remarkable thing about the picture is who is clearly seen standing in the crowd behind me; my boss, his wife, and her mother. For the past five and a half years I've worked with all three at the same office. That picture hung in my Mama's house for all that time and I worked here four years before we noticed they were the people in it. A single moment in time 30 years ago and we're all there. It still trips me out sometimes when I look at it.

    In want to reply to this with a gif but apparently because I use the 😂 for laughing, I’m old. Which is to say, I don’t know how.

    Our son wrote a letter to our dead cats last night. I might have teared up a bit once he let me read it (it was placed before the urns for the cats to read first, then I was invited to read it during dinner). He apparently told the cats more in his note than he told either my husband or I. :joy:

    Bittersweet, I know.

    Trying to be resilient.  Dealing with injury, and not abandoning health goals due to setback or whim.  Correcting mistakes, and working on character flaws to be a better person.

    Wishing you all the best. You can do this but just remember while you are correcting your mistakes, your mistakes doesn't define you, what you choose to do now does ❤ Hang in there.

    Being a parent to a teen is hard. I dont want to sound like a hypocritical parent who never did anything wrong but I made mistakes and all I want if for my teen to save herself from the consequences of poor judgment. Unfortunately, she is learning the hard way because she has decided to make her own mistakes. Parenting is hard and sometimes I feel like I have failed 😔

    You're a wonderful mom sweetie ❤ don't be so hard on yourself. *big hugs*

    Been here for years and still don't know how to make a sentence BOLD 😤

    Just go look at the source code, it's just bracketed b and bracketed /b to turn on and off.
