Okay, this is the last bit of sky to fall. We put our cat who had large cell lymphoma down today. He was such a good cat. He catted so well for as long as he could.
No one else is allowed to have any cancers of any type.
The bangs talk and giffing is on point and is really putting the sky back up for me. You guys are the best.

Thank you for your positivity milano! I just yelled at my kids loud enough that they finally laid down to go to sleep and I plan to get so high I can’t get off the couch to avoid any drastic action with scissors. This = 1/2 of 1 gummy for me. 🤣 Makes my limbs so heavy. Depends on the gummy. About a 1/4 gets my started. 1/2 and I won’t be moving for 2 hours.

Man Viola. You are indeed having one hell of a week. So many people have had to deal with so much loss lately. There is so much pain and loss already in this world. But now with people dying from a pandemic on top of regular pain and loss, it’s so fucking hard and tragic and unfair. And losing a fur baby on top of all the human loss? It’s just bullshit y’all.

My mom is all alone right now so she's started going down the conspiracy theory rabbithole again (my dad is usually the one to talk her out of it). My mom and my brother just got into a huge fight about vaccines which ended up with my brother blocking her. It's almost time for my nightly call with my mom and I'm considering skipping it for a few nights so I don't have to wind up playing messenger...

It sucks when family puts you in the middle 😣 I told my brother what she said and then temporarily muted everyone and am taking a FB break. Contemplating a trip to the woods for a week where no one can find us (not seriously lol)

Apparently there were some kids with Covid symptoms in M’s class, so she’s virtual for the rest of the week, and she has to get a Covid test Saturday. I was just getting used to only having to do distance learning one day a week. 😩 I don’t know if these kids suddenly developed symptoms while at school or what, but if people knowingly sent their kids to school with symptoms, they can eat glass.

We heard from our son on Friday that the whole class had extra recess because (insert kids name) was sick and they had to clean the classroom. I know it could be a regular cold, but I’m on Facebook with his class and I know for a fact they have been meeting at playgrounds regularly. And I highly doubt they wear masks. So frustrating.

There have been a number of covid cases at hubby's work now - no one he interacts with personally, but even still they got the order to self isolate. Except it's "work isolate". So he can't go to the grocery store, or the corner store, but he still has to go to work. Which is where the potential exposure is. Because there is really no way for him to isolate away from us (small apartment, and no way I can handle the kids for 2 weeks by myself without losing my mind) we're all isolating. Of course, I keep thinking of things I want to make that I'm missing like one ingredient for lol. My friends are picking up groceries for us, but it's not worth it to ask them to go pick up one thing, or to curbside for one thing. So here I sit, annoyed and still hungry for something I can't eat lol

Why the hell is hangman still a game? That's marketed to children? J got a magnetic version for Christmas from a family member and I've managed to avoid playing it with him until tonight. It was very triggering for me based on a death in my past and I'm in such a funk now. I think I'm going to disappear the game.

Oh my gosh milano. I hadn’t really thought about it (that game), but I can definitely see how that is triggering. So many things have been updated and made more appropriate. What a big miss. I’m sorry you are in a bad place now. I would definitely lose that toy too. Hugs friend.

Or even just a stickman standing on the ground. The hangman image has 0% to do with the value of the game. I totally had games with racist names growing up. Now my children play the same games at school but with new names. I'm sorry that that triggered you milano.

milano I'm so sorry 💔 I agree it needs a new name. A's teacher plays the game with them, but draws a dog. I don't think they have an actual name for the game. "Stick man" would be a very easy name change.

I love the spelling part, but the visual is totally inappropriate, and it’s really hard to explain why to a kindergartner in an age appropriate way. +1 to it would be so easy to change.

I need to replace all of the kids car seats because our van was in an accident. Thankfully everyone is ok.
I am spiraling right now on new options. I loooooooved the Britax Frontier (which is now discontinued) for J because the harness mode went up to 90 lbs. None of the new recommended seats from CSFTL have harness seats above 65 lbs. and I don't think he is ready for a booster mode. Maybe I'm just being too cautious.

I’m so sorry rhymeswithdisco! I’m glad you’re all ok! R is 6.5 and still in a 5pt harness so no help there. Not sure when we’ll be ready to switch to a booster with seatbelt.
