Yuppers...

Out of patience for deeply disappointing men in unmerited positions of authority

My mom helped me upgrade my rainwater catching system, I'm hoping to make it gravity fed instead of using the pool pump so it's automatic.

Now, it just needs to rain...

Me: Nana is visiting this weekend!
Daughter: I usually have fun when she comes over, but she treats me like I'm younger than I really am and she is always all up in my business.
Me:... I have the same issue, come to think of it...

Sorry, can't talk, busy losing the forest for the trees.

Cancel culture but for my uterus.

Thank you for your service, but those services are no longer needed.

Could I please have one (1) menopause.

Thank you for your consideration.

I keep having awful dreams about my old job.
I'm realizing how harmful that place was to my mental health.
The universe was smiling at me when I got my current gig. What a relief.

The twins also call me "Ms. Becca" which flipping melts me every time.

Anyway, I'm not completely incompetent when it comes to the mini-humans.

One girl fell asleep in the indoor hammock. The other was mad at me because I wouldn't walk her down Rt. 15 to get to her older sibling's school (I have flashlights, she said!).
She hid underneath a blanket crying, so I told her a story about a princess with a unicorn friend and she passed out.

I'm babysitting my neighbor's kids for a bit - her car died and she needed to take her older kiddos to a school thing.

I'm taking care of 3 year old twins which is such a flashback to 6 years ago 😂

I finally turned my heat on last night.
This morning I was wrapped in my comforter up like a Becca Burrito, wearing cozy pajamas.

Regardless, I managed to scrounge up the courage to get out of bed.

Please clap.

If someone could please explain to my limbs that they don't need to keep moving when I'm ready to go to sleep that would be great.
Because my arms are doing some weird thumb thing and my legs are fully committed to walking 500 miles.
Having a body is dumb.

I'm only using well water for gray water but maybe I'll get crazy and do a load of laundry!

My doggo once ate a whole plate of chicken skewers -- wood skewers and all. She lived, idk how she couldn't have chewed with how fast it happened. Ugh, though.

We got a fair amount last night but -- agreed, it wasn't enough and it isn't supposed to rain again until next week!

I'm not able to post pictures because my deck is a MESS, but I managed to sort out a way to pump rainwater from my deck, using my old pool pump, all the way into the well.
It was... a process to set up, but I was able to get about 40 gallons of water into the well which is kind of cool.

Wild! I don't think anyone saw this drought coming.

Girls just want to have fun*

*a significant rainfall event that helps replenish historically low groundwater levels, but extended enough to minimize surface flooding and runoff due to the low porosity of the chronically dry soil.

If someone could please let me know where I hid the superglue to make sure my kids won't find it... that would be great 🫤
