I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.

Don’t worry, no one can actually fold the fitted sheet nicely. I channel Lorelei Gilmore when I fold mine (jump to 0:45 for the relevant part, there aren’t many videos of this scene apparently).

I’ve met a gastroenterologist named Dr. Brown

I get job alerts from a site called Rat Race Rebellion and see help desk type jobs pop up pretty often. The jobs are almost always work at home and supposed to be confirmed legit job postings - which so far the ones I’ve looked at do check out.

I’m glad you were able to find your kid a better school. We’ve been working on some accommodations too, gotta stick up for our kids, right?

And if he’s anything like my cat, he just looks at you all sleepy-eyed like, “Oh sorry, were you calling for me?”

Whole grain mustard mixed with dill and honey to dip my chicken nuggets in

Oh my, this is not gonna go well.

Mais qu’est-ce que c’est?

I hate it even more now that I have to force my daughter to do it. Truth.

I like the scrap paper idea. So simple. She gets 20 minutes of free time when we get home and then we get started. All of her work for now is on paper worksheets, and she hates writing. I’m looking forward to when it becomes electronic assignments just so we can use voice to text.

Aww thanks for taking such good care of Willow. The cat distribution system worked its magic 14 years ago.

Thanks! We’ll try some lofi tracks. I always forget they’re a thing, so I should probably look some up now.

That Hovr thing looks awesome!

I have on my todo list to try this out, thanks for reminding me it exists

So true!

Yeah, you’re right. Switching what we do even throughout one evening would go a long way. I pretty much almost never had homework until I got to college, and that was a very rude awakening for me. I had no study skills, and I’m determined to better equip her.

That would be amazing. We’ve been fairly lucky so far - up until now it’s just been reading (which she loves to do) and spelling words to practice (which she usually gets through in about 5 minutes). This year it’s still usually just those, plus the occasional work that she didn’t finish during class.

But last week she was sick 3 days so we’ve been trying to slog through a pile of makeup work and I realized we may need some more tools in our homework box before she gets to middle school.

Lol yep. Our dog even does it when we’re giving our kid a hug.

would be a better description of rabbit eyes

Not when you’re on the receiving end of some side-eye for not sharing your snacks

Sending you and Greta hugs! Here’s our doofus.

“Lemme just scooch in here so you can get my good side”

“Whatcha doing? And why isn’t it paying attention to me?”
