Mine started at 7:24am until my senior year when they decided to start at 7:16am and end later so we could take 8 classes a day instead of 7!

The titles are killer.

Random. I don’t know how to explain to my super religious and conservative mother that she didn’t have a miscarriage back in 1977, she had an abortion due to partial placental detachment at 22 weeks that caused her to hemorrhage. She tells me the doctors said her baby had died but that’s not what the medical records…

The summer I turned 10 was the only time I ever went to camp and it was a super conservative Baptist church camp.

Okay. So. I’m ignorant and I know it and so I’m going to ask a question that immediately popped in my head.

I was on a flight that boarded us and then had to sit at the gate 45 minutes and then wait in line another hour.

For me (12 years living together, 7 of them married, infidelity, 2 kids, 1 child with a chronic health issue, financial highs and lows, 1 year of marriage couseling, in laws) marriage isn’t hard or easy, it’s a choice. We keep choosing to be partners and when something comes up we work through it with thoughtfulness…

Full disclosure: I looked at the picture before reading the headline and thought

I miss the good old days of “oh poop, it’s a Russian wedding and they’re only serving tongue and assorted pickled meats. But at least the center piece for our table of 6 will be 3 bottles of wine and a handle of vodka.” also, that wedding was awesome and tongue goes good with vodka.

When I was pregnant I said “they can be anything so long as they aren’t boring!”

As I’ve told my first birth midwife and my second birth OBGYN, I just want to go in the woods and give birth holding a trees. But I know there are unexpected factors so I’ve had 2 births in hospitals with women and men attending and in the moment I don’t care if you have a penis or not just respect me and F off while…

My mother has worn Shalimar every day since she was 20 when her first fiance brought her a bottle from France. Her perfume is the most amazing scent memory for me and when I have tough things happen in life she mails me packages with Shalimar drenched wrapping paper. My father tried to convince her to switch to Chanel…

The last celebrity hand injury I remember was Rosie back when she had her own show and severed a tendon on one of her fingers. The reconstruction resulted in her having a finger that didn’t bend normally and she made the same ‘giving the finger’ joke for a week straight and I laughed every darn time.

I had this fantasy when I was pregnant. I’m bi and leaned toward women throughout pregnancy and really would have loved pregnant on pregnant make out sessions. Sadly, my baby baking is at an end.

My toddlers each have a “fly-mango” and love them. They move them all around our yard during the summer and the little one pets his and gives it kisses goodbye when we come inside for the day.

My best thrift store find was on a family vacation to North Carolina 4 years ago. I was 6 months pregnant and growing by the day, half way through the trip I no longer fit in most of the clothes I brought so we went to a second hand store and I saw the most glorious dress. In fact it was a muumuu, bright blue cotton…

My mom was the queen of horrible vacations, the tour of flop houses in florida, the cockroach trip, “let’s be shrimp fishermen!”, Disney where my unvaxxed brother and I got chickenpox and mine turned into shingles, the tour of caves, and the time she accidentally took us to Canada but we didn’t have the right…

This is why I want him to happen. I have a 2 year old with Type 1 Who was diagnosed at 9 months old, the more awareness there is the easier/safer it will be for him.

I had a baby like that. My second was stung by a wasp at a July 4th pool party and it was the first time since his birth that he had a proper cry, he was almost 3 months old. I used to say that having a baby like him felt like I was cheating the system.

You should order like I did on Saturday “coffee, I need coffee. The kids woke up at 4am and haven’t stopped fighting” *start crying* “and I’m so tired and the T1 child needed a new pump site at 2am and the other one needed cuddles at midnight and I need coffee”
