    For a minute I thought I could have a little life of my own but here come the school sports with twice a day practices & all the other ridiculousness

    Do other students not have parents who work?

    ETA: and what the *kitten* is up with having mandatory practices in the summertime? I thought this was supposed to be vacation & time to be with family.

    The whole thing seems crappy and discriminatory to me

    We were lucky this year my son is playing freshman football and typically they start 2 a days a few weeks before school starts but got a new coach this year and only did one practice a day and started just a few days before school started - however my daughter plays club soccer which have practices twice a week year round sans a couple weeks in winter and summer

    I just don’t understand how kids who don’t live near the school and the school doesn’t provide transportation just how? How am I actually supposed to get them there? We figured it out because some family members stepped up & my boss said I can leave early a couple of days but it really is a hardship.

    I really hope he gets something wonderful out of this.

    Yeah logistics can be a *kitten* - my daughter graduates this year so won’t be as bad with just my son next year - she has her license but I haven’t been able to get her a car just yet - once I do that will help as well - good luck out Thur my friend

    My oldest is 20. Hard to believe. Life is weird. But good.

    I think I would be a nightmare boss if I was a manager at a restaurant.
    I will not eat at a restaurant that has dirty windows.
    If they don’t clean the windows, they probably don’t clean many things. 🤢
    Windows should be spotless,
    tables should be spotless which includes cleaning the salt/pepper shakers after every customer.
    No dirty silverware, no dust on the decorations on the walls, etc.
    The glasses must be glass and spotless.
    The floor……spotless!

    I really feel like eating establishments are slacking in the cleanliness department.

    I was looking forward to the day when a pretty face wouldn’t turn my head & I’m here. It’s great. But I still want SOMETHING stimulating & exciting. Not a relationship - I have enough of those. Just more spark. More fire. More.

    My buddys kid is all into making videos for social media stuff. He has bought all sorts of cameras and equipment to supposedly do some high quality videos. He asked me a few weeks ago if i would do a bunch of crap he could film and make cool videos. I said sure.....and then forgot about it. It seems its time to pay up.....oh boy.....what the hell did i say yes to?....

    My oldest leaves for school today. His daddy is driving him. I have to be at work & will likely be crying at my desk all day. I am so proud & heartbroken at the same time

    Awwww the next chapter. I'll be in tears when this happens here. Well I've decided he's never leaving so there's that 🤣
