I renewed mine in May and have not received it yet. My kids got new ones at the same time and somehow their passports came at the end of June.
Not that it matters, I’m sure other countries will stop letting us come.

Not that it matters, I’m sure other countries will stop letting us come. Right? It’s a bit of a fools errand to get one but actually by the time it comes my kid might be vaccinated and we might be ready to get on a plane.

We just got DS2's passport done and it returned in 3 weeks. Normally they are slower overseas than in us.

Teenagers will be the death of me, I swear. I thought babies were so hard, and now I’d take a newborn any day of the week. If anyone here has teens and wants to commiserate, feel free to send me a pm.

The guy from the consulate was talking about it with us when we got passports renewed in May. As you say overseas is almost always slower so I was very pleasantly surprised.

My latest pandemonium activity is binging Lost and listening to a rewatch podcast. H and I watched it when it aired and because we can’t quit anything, watched all the way to the awful end. 😂 We’ve never rewatched but it is quite a good show, and having the podcast to follow along is fun. Also I’ve forgotten a whole lot of it so it’s almost like a new show to me, and now I know not to expect my questions to be answered. Are you partaking in any good distraction techniques lately? I just started re-watching Battlestar. It's been too long.

And I'm just sayin - Battlestar is on Peacock so if you haven't watched it, there is literally no time like the present lol Start with the miniseries, IDK why they separated it from the rest of the series.

H has been re-watching Battlestar as well, plus the original 1978 Battlestar on Tubi. I'd never seen the latter before and it's... something

I do not do well with 70's sci-fi in general. So much overacting.

If anyone here has teens and wants to commiserate, feel free to send me a pm. This is where I live. Plus a younger brother who thinks he’s the same as the 13YO so it’s full on teen attitude in a tween. I am here for the support group.

My 11 YO told me “she doesn’t even know who she is anymore” So dramatic. Umm, hello? I’m the one with the mid life crisis here.

I have a leo and Sagittarius just over 2 years apart. Is that bad? I mean, I already know it's going to be bad... but like even worse? lol

Is that bad? I mean, I already know it's going to be bad... but like even worse? lol Being moody, emotional, jealous and secretive (these are the negative traits, obviously there are positive ones too). So like the natural state of teenagers squared and then doubled. 😅 And I don't think your combo is unusually bad or anything. Teens are just a challenge usually, but also rewarding in their own right because they're blossoming into adults (or so my friends with teens tell me, ha).

Is it possible for teen years to hit early? My 9yo keeps asking me what he’s supposed to do with his life. I’m like……. have fun? You’re 9!

Here is a random WHY after using email for over 20 years do I need to 're-enter your email address' every time I fill in a form. Its not NEW. I dont have to enter my phone # twice. this is especially annoying when I'm trying to fill out something on my phone instead of a keyboard.

elle the sister drama is no joke. I have four brothers so I was unprepared. Clothes stealing, secret sharing, etc. They alternate so fast between best friends and sworn enemies. It’s a lot.
