YAS. 

Particularly right now, there is a huge amount of wiggle room. I know that everyone with kids is about 10 seconds away from punching a wall.

Oh, I’m sure. Considering how ‘books as decor’ is such a damn huge part of every one of these celebrity/influencer looks. Books you would never have actually read, or know that you purchased, or know that you owned. Just books to be staged because having books makes your space look a certain way.

It’s either textbooks or yearly medical reference manuals or something equally banal.

I really should LOC all my books, I have no excuse now except that I’m probably moving in two months and it’d be for nothing. They are almost LOC anyway, since they are grouped by topic. But all of my series are grouped together, so that would put them out of place.

Chickencondos.

He used to use a feather duster, so I suppose it is too delicate for that. 

What we really need to drag on, and discuss, is the ‘spine in’ piles of books in the fire place.

I also love shoveling snow. It’s very enjoyable!

My neighbor’s children are screamers (probably because the mother is also a screamer. It’s just endless yelling from that corner of the building, because she’s always melting down over something).

My parents have a neighbor who will use anything that has an internal combustion engine, paired with seeming near obsessive compulsive tendencies. So everything has to be loud, but also takes ages because they are measuring stuff.

I’m sorry to hear about your news.  I’m normally try to give it a go because I do generally feel better after, but if it’s a bad, not getting out of bed type of day? Sex isn’t fixing that. 

Yeah, anyone with kids through this is not going ‘you know what would make this better BEING PREGNANT’. or the idea of having to do this again with more children.

My boyfriend is, and I’m just feeling so incredibly bleehhhh and gross. I get incredibly overwhelmed when my house isn’t clean and since we’re both home in a 700 sq ft apartment and cooking every meal and thus NOTHING stays clean for more than 30 seconds at best. And when I’m overwhelmed, I’m not super into sex.

You can talk to my boyfriend, who woke me up on morning by saying “I dreamt I had sex with Sarah Sanders”.

It seems to run the gamut as much as public schooling does. I’ve seen the really successful parts of homeschooling and non traditional schooling methods.

I really have no idea! In my state it seems that there’s a lot of wiggle room with homeschooling as far as what has to be reported back to the state. They have to have a portfolio of activities, track ‘hours’ which seems to be where the most flexibility lies, they can choose what kind of standardized tests they take…

I tend to hedge on what I do on the internet, because it’s a public facing position that is easily found, and I’ve had enough creepy people look me up on/from the internet.

I know. It’s like a car trip...all the time. My sister and I barely made it to age 18 without killing each other in 1500 square feet. In a van? There would have been no survivors.

I’m ok with my post being close minded towards the van people. When I’m at work, I talk with about 300-1000 people every day from pretty much every part of the globe (I’m really waiting for folks straight from research in Antarctica, because I have questions about their parkas). They might tell me small bits about thei…
