I just gave a ride to the kid who's mom yelled at 17 and I wasn't allowed to say anything. 17 is lucky I have so much respect for him because the way I wanted to tell this boy off. WHOO!🤐

Last night's game was fun but we won and couldn't celebrate the way we wanted to because our friends played for the other team. It was a great win because I didn't think we could pull it off! But we had to focus on hockey and TNF at dinner after 🫣

October is always the hottest month of summer. I forget it every year and them I'm so rudely reminded. 😅🥵

17 got picked up by a girl he's talking to since I need to pick up 14. As he drove off I sent him a text saying don't have sex unless you want to be a father! Have fun!!

17 is off this week. I let him go hang with friends last night and when he came home he told me that a friends mom is mad at him, blaming him for her son smoking.
Is it possible 17 smoked? Sure. Is it likely? NO. I don't smoke, his dad doesn't smoke, no one in our extended family smokes. EVER. Ew.

Bribed 14 to come to SF with me by taking him to his favorite stores first. I never go to the city on the weekend. We had to park a mile away uphill. Luckily we're fit! Once we arrived at Haight we ran into a nude, male bike party.

14 didn't play yesterday because the Trainer kept him out. (Thank you Trainer!) He had FOMO post game because it was very competitive even if they lost. He regrets playing last week and I didn't even say I told you so. Go me.

Oh I can start listening again. I still support them but haven't tuned in in a decade.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep my eyes on the November #election at this point.

14 is hitting his adjustment period 5 weeks in. A B- in Algebra? Unacceptable! C- in Hebrew Scriptures and Physics? Get to tutoring, pal!

He’s frustrated at not having a spare moment on weekdays because of academics and sports while having a full social life on the weekends.

14 has had a hurt back for a couple of weeks now. If he would just stay off of it he could heal but he insisted on trying to play the last 2 games. And then he's out mending it for the next week. I asked him to sit out this week's game so I can see him play next week. He's so stubborn!

Dinner tonight with someone who always has to pick apart the check. The rest of us just sit there like we’ll split it. Meanwhile she’s over here busting out the calculator. I hate that. I never go anywhere so when we decide to do something it’s costs what it costs and I don’t worry about it.

As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

Since AT&T wants to charge me a monthly subscription to turn off my kids data at bedtime- KICK ROCKS - I have figured out how to pause the wifi on their individual devices. Oh the apps are locked down. Yes, they are.

I am trying to interview with someone who is connected to a current colleague and the nicest guy. We have texted each other many times on my work phone. I'm trying to decide if it's completely out of line to ask him for a recommendation.

I was late to a meeting because I was working on 2 other critical items. Do you think they care? They do not.

Aside from the fact that everytime I tell someone "she" will be working these accounts next quarter they groan.

But "she" gets away with it all because she's of European descent iykwim

17 has a D+ in GOV. Yesterday he says to me, I need to learn how to lock in with this teacher.
The sigh of relief I let out...! It has taken him all of HS to understand that it's up to HIM to figure out how to be successful despite differences in learning style, teaching style, personalities, etc.

I'm supposed to be inheriting 13 accounts from a colleague who does the most half assed job of CRM hygiene. All my shit looks better than this. Just like I've been telling my kids-
We have to be twice as good to get half as much. This mediocre white man gets away with bare minimum work.

16 is having a belated birthday bbq at the park, 14 is off to practice, and I'm here with the Monday scaries. We have a heatwave this week which does not help.

I'm on a call with my manager and another manager about an account in which the sales rep just quit. The other manager is lowkey talking shit and thankfully cameras were off because I was grinning ear to ear. I'm going to miss working with that sales rep. Way to give it to them bouncing before EOQ

It took me hours to recover from my weekly PIP call. Not because it was negative. I think their strategy is to overwhelm me with so many minute tasks that I break. I'm a latchkey kid from the 80's who did all my homework and chores before my mom got home. I ain't new to this I'm true to this.

Game Day nerves and I won't even be there. I worry he'll get hurt. I worry he'll make mistakes that contribute to an L. Last week he scored 1 touchdown, made a mistake and lost 1, and then someone intercepted on him. Only 1 other touchdown was made so it wasn't his "fault" but it didn't help either.

We've reached the phase where Mom's cooking is the birthday dinner. Restaurants are 90% trash so I didn't mind dying over a hot stove after a long day of work. 17 requested tacos, rice, and beans from scratch. Chef's kiss if I do say so myself.

Going through photos for 17's bday made me realize I will never stop being angry at what Covid/middle school stole from him. He was literally the happiest kid around, but being bullied and isolated during those years changed him forever.

Yesterday, 14 had school, a game, then a mixer. This morning another practice. HS is about having fun while developing yourself and excelling in academics. I'm very pleased with his progress so far. He's incredibly social while keeping up with his classes and improving his game.

I went through the Freshman What's App page last night. I'm a no notifications girlie so I had to go all the way back to June. By early August the mean girls were lecturing the people who ask questions without researching the answers first. Yikes.
