White privilege

I forced myself to watch all 10 minutes of the George Floyd video. When he called for his mama, I almost burst into tears/threw up. What is WRONG with this country?!?! I cannot imagine what it's like to be an African American male right now (or probably ever in our horrid history), but all I can say is I am sorry, I am sick, and I will strive to do and be better, for me and for my children.

RIP sir.

Damn you, creators of Baby Shark

Yes, Georgie is still jamming to this song - it's been a year I swear (feels like 5). And why are there 1000 versions of the song - Monkey Bananas, Baby Car, Shark Bus, etc???

It's enough to drive a person insane.

So freaking busy

I am seriously working so much more than I ever have before. Yesterday I had 5 meetings and was working from 7am - 6pm. I am so far behind on social media that I haven't seen "you're all caught up!" on Instagram since I started working from home (the horror!). I am so jealous of the people who are baking, catching up on TV shows, etc.- I am lucky if I can blowdry my hair in the morning! And there's no end in sight...

be free!

We ended up with 13 butterflies from the 14 caterpillars - pretty good results, if I do say so myself. I got super into it and when we let them go this morning, one flew out of the cage and landed on my dress! I think he knew I was his mom. Fly, little butterflies, fly!!

Minus Brad Pitt of course

I've decided potty training is like Fight Club: you just don't talk about it. The less we mention it to Georgie, the more she goes on the potty. Weird, but whatever works at this point.

Everybody loves a parade

Georgie's little school had a last day drive-through parade yesterday. It was very cute - you drove around the parking lot, saw all the teachers, they blew bubbles and played music. And Georgie's teachers were so happy to see her I thought they were going to break the 6-foot rule and jump in the car (side note: will little kids not be able to run into their teachers' arms again?? wah!!!). Georgie bragged to one lady that she was pooping on the potty, and it just made me happy and very sad all at the same time. PLEASE let her be able to go back in the fall. Please?

Paging Baby Huey

(did not realize "baby huey" was a duck, but whatever)

Y'all. Beau will be 6 months old (!) on Sunday, and he is in a size 4 diaper. Georgie is almost two and a half and is in a size 5 diaper. You do the math. This baby is huuuuuuge.
