40yo white suburban mom of 4, doing my best to raise good kids while navigating life's twists and turns. BLM, LGBTQ+ ally, prefer not to discuss politics or religion but believe everyone has a right to choose and state their beliefs, just not to impose those beliefs on anyone else.

"You are not a bad person because you cannot keep up with laundry. Laundry is morally neutral." KC Davis, in her book "How to Keep House While Drowning.

You guys, I'm only 1 chapter in and I could just cry from her empathy and gentleness. Just being told I'm not a failure for not being able to keep a tidy house, and that I'm still a good person even when my sink is overflowing with dirty dishes ... it feels good. REALLY good.

Why do insurance companies hate paying for preventive care? I'm checking out at the dentist office and just finding out that x rays might only be covered once per year. Because why would we want to find out if our luxury bones are developing problems while it's small and easy to fix? Psshh, that's just silly! 🙄
I have emerged mostly unscathed, except when I was looking for a basic face moisturizer with sunscreen in it for 12. I could not for the life of me find anything basic, it was all age-defying, didn't have the SPF factor, or something else. I walked over to the men's shaving aisle in desperation, and found exactly what I needed in 2 seconds flat. Why can't "women's" skincare be as simple? Ugh. Regardless, my Christmas shopping should now be complete, and I am waiting in line to wash my car.
It is December 23, 3:30 mountain standard time. I am about to walk into my local Target in search of some last minute Christmas items. Wish me luck, I can only hope my mind and body are intact when I emerge.

The "groomer" stereotype isn't just factually incorrect, it emboldens LGBTQphobic domestic terrorists like at Club Q and helps ACTUAL groomers (people who gain a child and their family's trust to get away with sexual abuse) avoid scrutiny. If you see someone throwing around that smear, call it out!

#Caturday post, these are my two adoptees that have shared our home for 9 years now. The gray is Murphy, photo shows her complete and utter disregard for personal space. The brown is Temperance, who picks at the dog food when her Royal Highness' food bowl is left empty for too long*.
