I fully get this. We hit this point when my youngest was 13-14yo. It was a tough year for both of us, and I wasnβt sure we could make it through the teen years. For us, therapy was the turning point. Parenting is tough when you also have to parent yourself, at least in my case.
Lacking motivation to do the tasks at hand is something I struggle with daily. Iβve had to learn how to trick myself into doing them. Sometimes I start with something easy to accomplish, or maybe a longer task that lets me listen to a podcast Iβve been saving. But an iced coffee also works. #ADHD
Imagine that, heβs pushing out the deadline again.
There is a protest on May 29 at Lindsey Graham's office. We will begin gathering at 9:30 am, and we will have a group scheduled to go inside and speak at 10 am. Come out and help us line the streets!

My neighbor is selling their house. Iβll be putting up signs, flags and anything else I can think of to keep MAGA from considering it. We are a small street, with half of us white and the other half black. I will do anything to discourage racists and/or n@zis from moving in next door.
Check out the books that are on race, banned, & are LGBTQ+ friendly. Read them or donβt, but check them out and keep them from being taken off of your library shelves.
I must be doing something right. My librarians donβt even need my library card to grab my books off the hold shelf anymore. Iβm known by name & Iβm making a difference by keeping books in circulation that havenβt been checked out in over a year. Please get involved in your local library.
If you want to know how to get involved in fighting for books at your library, check out community advocates for education. This group has networks all over the upstate attend council meetings, and library board meetings. Iβm getting involved with them and highly recommend you do the same.
Cuddling with this sweet girl this morning. She hates thunder and fell asleep beside me.
My husband is while I read beside him. It definitely peaked my interest a few times with what I heard. Holy smokes, did the writers do a great job.
Well heβs off to a good start.
Is this the start of a joke? π
Late to the #WhiteLotus party and two episodes from finishing season 3. Holy wow, this show is so well done and worth the praise itβs received. In less than a week, I will have binged every episode. If you havenβt watched it, go do so. Youβll thank me later.
π¨ itβs a very serious matter indeed.
Incompetent people in positions of authority. This isnβt going to go well for us. No surprise though as it hasnβt been going well.
I could have been more serious, but whereβs the fun in that.
Dark chocolate cookies and cream ice cream.
π₯TAMI SAWYER: βThis was a breaking point for Tyreβs momβ¦ the defense said they were trained this way. So if those cops are βNOT GUILTYβ, the city of MEMPHIS is guilty.β
She says the biggest betrayal was city leaders refusing to enter into a consent decree.

Call your reps!
WWII vet is out here showing us how itβs done!
So glad we have people in government like you who are investing in the future.
Congrats @nancyfrench.bsky.social !
Today I was on a call with Dems talking about what is needed to make more independents and republicans feel more welcome. We also talked about messaging. The main consensus: Stop forcing people to agree with everything about the party and focus on issues that affect all or most of Americans.

Something delightful for your day!
I fell in love with manatees as a child just from a postcard. The gentleness they seem to exude and their playfulness with each other made my heart fill to bursting. I donβt know what it is about them, but they bring me joy.
This is beyond disgusting to do to human beings. We are treating them like garbage we can just throw away. We need to do better as a country.
B. Though I donβt think itβs wrong to say tucked up either.
Be this woman!
can confide in them, or just be themselves. Every year I am quiet about how hard it is, every year it is bittersweet because I am also a mother who is celebrated.
Today I finally made the decision to cut her out of my life. This really sucks even though I know itβs the right decision.
