jaygee hugs. I get a lot of the mean outburst language from my kid and it sucks. I was grumpy as a tween/teen but I never did the hate word. Thanks. It is very hard for me. I just imagine it getting worse into the teenage years and I’m frankly terrified. He is nice to literally everyone else so I know it’s just him feeling comfortable with us but I don’t want to be a punching bag, you know.

FYI that is for renewals too and expedited only gets you sped up to 12 weeks. So if you need a passport soonish… We renewed all of ours last summer because we were freaked about something bad happening whether Trump won or lost. And we were right!

I signed DS up for golf lessons this fall. Hopefully outside plus masks will mean safe, despite Delta. It’s the first extracurricular he has been excited about in awhile. Ohhh maybe I'll put S2 in class with him. PM me please?

I'm worried about one of our Piggies. He's not acting like himself. I think I'm going to take him to the emergency vet

dc2london. Good luck. Somehow those little piggies take up so much room in hearts.

The vet says everything looks good but they're going to do some blood work just to be safe. Honestly I'm thrilled to spend hundreds of dollars to be told he's fine, this guy is my kids' favorite thing in the world.

jaygee, here to commiserate. We are going through this too with DS1 9. Though it is mostly directed at the absolutely sweetest child, whom I couldn’t have even imagine I would have birthed, DS3 9/15. That is where I draw the line. He usually acts out because he is tired, needs alone time, isn’t feeling heard, or my main ‘don’t speak it aloud to him’ suspicion, hormones and he is growing. We do a lot of spitballing of ideas together, because, as I remind him, I’ve never done this either.

I'm really over these oak mite bites! I have one on my side right under my bra line that's torture. I also have one in my inner elbow that has blistered from rubbing against my arm, and I had one on near my knee really swell up and get cranky. Everyone in my family has several right now. Thank you extraordinarily large willow oak tree in our backyard.

We also celebrated DD1's 8th birthday on Sunday and I feel like I'm following a new diet plan- just replace one meal a day with cake! Ha.

Ferb seems perkier this afternoon. One of the things he wasn't doing (greeting us up on his hind legs) that caused me concern, he did when I brought the piggies their lunch as normal. I found that really encouraging.

So my kid asked me how babies grow in the car today. He’s gonna be 4 in 2.5 weeks. He’s big mad he doesn’t have a uterus to grow a baby and that his nipples are just for decoration- they don’t provide milk for babies.
I think I did okay but man oh man. I thought I had a lot more time for those questions.

I thought I had a lot more time for those questions. I feel you. My kid was an early questioner of reproductive logistics and only takes scientific answers. It’s intense coming from a 4/5 year old.

Yesterday we were in target and passed the pet supply aisle and I was like let’s get a dog! And he was like let’s get a baby! And I was like what? From where? And he’s like AMAZON! and I started laughing. So I guess it’s my fault for laughing at a baby from Amazon. 🤦🏻♀️😂
