I chose "presence" as my word for 2026. Too often I feel I am rushing between tasks and obligations, or disappearing into my phone. This year I want to BE. To be in the moments and the days and seasons. With myself when I'm alone, and more importantly when I'm with those I love.

5yo: "mama, papa sneezes REALLY loud" Me: "he sure does, huh? I don't know why" 5yo: "maybe God made him that way, to just sneeze loudly"

I've seen the world trade center exhibit at the New York State Museum so many times and I get choked up every single time. I know what is in the exhibit, I expect it, I'm ready...and still. Like a gut punch every time.

Having a tweet break containment was fun for a little while, but eventually I just had to mute it. Back to my originally scheduled programming of.... whatever it is I tweet about here 😂

First snow of the season, enough for a 2hr delay. My 3yo burst into my room this morning, "mama there's snow on the ground!!" so excited he was out of breath. Kids were outside playing before I even got downstairs

I found winter coats from last year that miraculously still fit, the 3yos fall boots still fit, my husband suggested they wear their spring mud suits as snow suits for the day (genius), the only gap is boots for the 2 big kids.

Luckily this 2he delay gave me time to be rummaging through the boot bin in the attic. Kids already had hot cocoa and they're watching the Grinch.

930pm and the parent app lights up with my kindergarteners teacher letting us know that kids should have boots and some pants tomorrow. Sorry, what? You think I have snow pants and boots just available? In this years size?

Is no one just falling in love anymore?
I actually think Jensen having many mistresses should cause more men to feel optimistic. Short, a bit heavy, sort of awkward, nerdy, graying-- and he still clearly got plenty of female attention! Why? He had money. Increasing your earnings isn't easy-- but it is something many people do actually do, and there is a whole lot of guidance from many sources about how to do it!

Getting car repairs done and as the nice guy is showing me brake pads, I'm working so hard to avoid quoting Tommy Boy because that is absolutely my only frame of reference for brake pads.

Dilemma: need to put a baby proof lock on my toilet, but also need 3 other young children to be able to operate it. How to keep the baby out of the potty without everyone else peeing their pants.

If the big kids can unlock it, will they ever remember to re-lock it? Is this an exercise in futility? (Is everything???)

There are 3 types of people when it comes to the the Lyndon Johnson books - immediately know what I mean when I say "the Lyndon Johnson books" and are also excited - look at me completely blankly and then say "umm...ok" - say "oh yeah, my dad loves those"

Taking a social media break for the rest of the year, but only from Instagram and FB, because they hurt my feelings in ways that Twitter somehow doesn't.

Yes everyone on here is nuts, but I didn't go to high school with you all so it doesn't hurt my feelings in a personal way, just in a "oh lordt look at what bonkers thing someone said today" kind of way

Staying in a very regular hotel, but still riding high off the sheer luxury that is watching TV in bed.
