Someone please explain to me why I have had the Thong Song stuck in my head for four days. #dumpslikeatruck #trucktruck

Nothing prepares you for the frustration of playing Guess Who with an almost 4yo who lacks the cognitive ability to understand the game but insists on playing it.

We also have absolutely no reliable data on how private schools perform because they arent required to report it out nationally

I know it's only Monday, but I'm pretty sure my 3yo daughter saying, "Mommy, can we put on a record while we eat lunch?" will be my proudest parenting achievement of the week.

Things my 7yo actually said at Disneyland this week...

Less cute: why can't I have two churros today when I had two churros yesterday?!

More cute: (when I asked if Autopia was worth it after a 45 min wait) Everything is worth it at Disneyland!

Today she called me "special my dearest" instead, and I think I could get used to that one.

My 3yo recently called me "little mommy girl" and I know I should find it endearing, but it felt a little insulting?

"For some reason, milk chocolate and chocolate milk are different things." -my 7yo

I won a book giveaway on @thestorygraph.com this morning, which further cements the fact that it is the superior book tracking app. 15+ years of entering giveaways on Goodreads and never won anything!

Adventures in trying to recover my old Photobucket account: I hope this amuses whoever works on my request as much as it amused me.

Things I was not prepared for when I moved from Willow Glen to Berryessa: people go hard with the fireworks for Lunar New Year here. It's almost July 4th level tonight.

20 Min Gentle Yoga Routine (Day 7) 30 Days of Yoga For Beginners YouTube video by Charlie Follows

This is the video that did us in, if you want to reach that level of relaxation: youtu.be/mGv8fGQmEzw?...

This Monday Mondayed too hard. My husband and I have been doing a 30 day yoga challenge together each night after the kids go to bed, and tonight both of us fell asleep during shavasana.

This is the best news I've heard in 2025.

This morning while making plans with my husband...

Me: I'll see what state I'm in after I shower and then decide if I'll join you.
My 7yo: .... I think you'll be in the state of California.

This thread and all its replies are reminding me of why I love the Internet. Ftr, I argued for naming our cats Ganymede and Calypso but was outvoted. (My then 5yo chose their names, Mercury and Neptune.)

First time looking at what's trending on this app, and AOC is at the top. I think I'm gonna like it here.

I guess I'm bluing the sky now.
