Real talk

Blog friends... Thank you for your gentle check-ins! Nicole just talked to me about The God of Small Things for a couple of days. I do similar check-ins with At all the time.

What timing... Federal control of Washington D.C. with National Guards taking over mere hours after we returned home. The president's claims about rising crime and homicide are all false, BTW. 

Countdown to Nu leaving for college... NINE days!

Big A is on the mend... But I've thought that before.

Those days right before the big college departure are so tough.

Sending you all the love, Maya. Nine days!
Also I keep thinking sadly of "it makes her love you a little less" from TGOST and wahhh.

He is a madman.

Nine days! I remember when Jared, my firstborn, went to his first day of kindergarten. All I could think was 'Now he belongs to the world.' Even though I was a teacher myself, I was devastated and heartbroken. And I had to teach the whole day.

Fingers crossed for your husband's continued good health. XO

Oh boy- and Nu is your "baby!" At least they won't be far away, right? I feel like we'll be doing lots of checking on you when they leave!

I'm glad A is feeling better. So heartsick about the federal takeover of DC...

Cute.

Sending all good wishes for Big A's continued recovery. Oh my -- NINE DAYS! Well Alma is closeish. Don't start me on that awful man in DC.

Things just keep getting worse. DC has never struck me as a city overrun by crime. It’s so freaking stupid and makes me so mad. He’s threatened to sue Jerome Powell because he hasn’t cut rates and won’t be bullied. He is such a delusional mad man.

It feels sudden!

That book made me so nervous about parenting!

Thank you, Nance.

'Now he belongs to the world' --I felt that in my soul!

maya said...

I might feel liberated! Time will tell :)!

maya said...

Me too, Steph. I'm so sorry.

maya said...

Thank you :)!

maya said...

Thank you, Jeanie. I try not to think about that man either... it's so bad for MY health!

It's SO frustrating every day! And it has only been eight months...
