Kindergarten through 8th grade....
The absolute worst school morning has always been the first one after spring break.
I guess spring break is like a taste of summer... and going back after just a week feels like some massive injustice.

With no prompting, my brain just reminded me of how 10 yr ago I tried to be friends with an ex (after we'd both married other ppl) and that SOB started a fight about gun control and ended up telling me "you're very smart but you're so aggressive I don't think anyone could be your friend" FIN.

Anyone know a good mascara that doesn't smudge but that also isn't super difficult to remove? I know I'm asking for a unicorn here

Life is returning to normal after a battle of moods and wills with my 13 year old daughter. She's happily chatting on the phone with a friend. I'm feeling drained and emo and considering giving myself bangs in the bathroom mirror. Maturity is maybe a myth? ๐คฃ

Last night's Oscar wins were HUGE for Asian representation. Amazing. Wonderful. I love it.
Also feeling tremendous emotion about the Best Picture representation of risky, wild, crazy, weird, unexpected, kinda vulgar, violent, chaotic hilarity. So happy Everything Everywhere All At Once swept it

And... I can't resist a gif of her.
I needed Michelle Yeoh & Ke Huy Quan to win..
But Jamie Lee Curtis has been fueling my excitement for the Oscars. Her enthusiasm and love for Michelle Yeoh and the whole awards season actually got me to put the Oscars on my calendar... which is pretty wild

I can't handle it...
I never ever ever in a million years would have guessed that the Academy Awards would have me happy crying and smiling all day... not ever.

I do not normally watch Oscars, care about Oscars, or even like movies that win Oscars...
I adore Michelle Yeoh. I LOVED Everything Everywhere All At Once. I related to her character way too much for comfort. I'm overjoyed by the movie's success and the recognition of Michelle Yeoh's amazing work

I have a (mild) cold
(for the first time in 3 years because masks are awesome)
and I'm studying algebra (with my kid)
And I keep laughing (and then coughing) at how utterly absurd it is that there are multiple phases of life that involve studying algebra while sick

Both of my teenage daughters felt "unable to scream". They insisted that they didn't know how.
So we've started doing screaming practice when we're in the car
They're taking to it well ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Adolescent insecurity is not going to take my kids' voices

I've got too much going on this week. Random disjointed problems to solve
I start every day by sending a bunch of e-mails, firing weird energy into the world, and then anxiously waiting for responses
My dream vacay would be just chilling with zero tense interactions ๐คฃ

I'm feeling a little down today. Sad, I thought. I was trying to put a finger on what's happening...
Then I realized we're on the edge of a minor snowstorm...and I skipped lunch..
Wish I were better at differentiating between emotions and physical discomfort. I am not.

My teenage daughters are in a lesson with an acting coach. Not to "act" exactly but to learn to speak loudly and clearly. To be beasts. I want them to be unstoppable monsters of confidence and courage. I want them to stop crying about class presentations. I hope it's going well ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

Oof. Just watched the new quantum leap episode about the Trans teen basketball player. So emotional.
I love this show. So smart and kind
At first I was desperately hoping ben would say "oh boy" but I don't even think about og quantum leap anymore

ADHD in peak form today
Put on makeup for the first time in ages.
Did my brows with a lip pencil
Now before you kindly think "was it brown?", that's very charitable, but no. I had 2 pinkish eyebrows before I stopped to look at the pencil

Since I woke up, I've been thinking about how very much I enjoyed Bill & Ted Face the Music and how much it means to me on many weird levels. It felt like a hug and apology and a big ol welcome to me, as a lifelong Bill & Ted fan even though the first 2 weren't explicitly welcoming to women

Watching the new Wednesday with my kids
But they never want to watch it. Worried I'll never get to the end
I think they're uncomfortable, because Wednesday is popularizing their fashion sense and attitudes ๐
I remember feeling similarly love/hate about Ricci when I was their age ๐ฝ#Outsiders

After repeatedly telling people I'm not open to any new TV shows that are heavy, too dark, or stressful....
I have now begun watching
The Boys
Which makes me cry and scream, and weighs on my mind all day
So it seems that I'm a big liar and I just don't want to watch the stuff people rec
