Small but mighty. I play with flowers. I love mashed potatoes, baseball, and my loud and crazy family.

The best thing about 8th grade so far has been my daughter’s teachers making her send me emails.
An email titled “Very annoying AND mandatory grade check.” The body of the email says “Hi, I have to send you my grades and missing assignments. EVERY Thursday. So this is Thursday number one.” Not pictured: the screenshots of her grades (all As) and her missing assignments (of which there are none). An email titled “Update on My Science Grade” The body reads (very formally): Dear Mom, I wanted to update you about my current grade in science, right now I have an A in science because I am not missing any pieces of evidence. If you have any questions, you can email my teacher as well. Thank you, Charlotte

Everything is falling apart, but little moments like those pictured below make life good.
My teenage daughter’s giving @chriskamler looks of concern and disgust while at Freddy’s. The table is covered in trays and cups, and Chris is wearing a purple sequined suit jacket. A wooden spoon resting on the side of a very full 8 quart pot holding the best potato soup. The black canine who creates chaos in my house while spreading copious amounts of hair resting next to me in the couch with my cluttered living room in the background. One ear flops up adorably. My youngest daughter performing for the first time in the musical All Shook Up at her middle school. She played the plucky best friend and sang and acted her heart out. A small stage full of 7th and 8th graders dressed in 50s style clothes.

It was soooo cool. I live in the middle of the city too. We could see the pink without the camera and the green showed up in the pics.

Throwback. But today is my Friday this week so YAY!!!

This is my favorite date night shirt. The zipper is fun.
Selfie of me, slightly tipsy in the bar bathroom, wearing a black shirt with a gold cleavage zipper and the date bra peeking through.

No spooky today because I’ve had a shitty day, but a throwback from before I cut my hair shorter.
Selfie with long dark hair covering the fun parts and a slight smirk on my face.

Taking a break from doomscrolling and making haunted gingerbread houses and watching Barbie.

Enjoying a fun cocktail and listening to good music played by a friend. More adult activities to follow 😂
A fancy blue cocktail with a cherry and an orange wedge with the Captains Sports Lounge logo on the front.

My child wanted a snake for her 16th birthday and, well, here he is. Say hello to Snickerdoodle.

(All their pets have cookie names)
Young boa snake in taupe and peachy splotches hanging from an artificial vine over a moss covered hide with a hygrometer behind him. Young boa in peachy and taupe tones resting in the moss, leaves, and coconut fiber on the floor of his new home. He’s coiled with his little head poking out.

I spent the day laughing thru tears with my family, as today marks one year since my Dad passed from cancer.

Grief comes in waves but I know he would love that we still laugh when we tell his stories and remember him. He was quite simply the best man I ever knew.
My dad in his favorite blue and white Hawaiian shirt and a well loved Cabellas hat laughs at something someone across the table says as I lean into his shoulder and smile at my sister (taking the photo). Daddy with his full and glorious winter beard, wearing a Santa hat and a gray Kansas City Chiefs t-shirt. He’s holding a snowman-shaped shot glass and making a silly face at the camera. At the dinner table at Margaritas restaurant, Dad wears his Storm baseball gear (hat and shirt) in red and toasts a michelob ultra (drank under protest when he had to cut back on carbs)

I cut most of my hair off today and feel like a new person. It’s amazing. It was so much hair.
Me, short white lady with dark brown hair that is now significantly shorter than before. Wearing a white tank top and standing in front of my white bathroom door.

My baby made a beautiful pecan pie.
Perfectly baked pecan pie with a golden crust in a blue pie plate.

Went to the Powell Gardens butterfly exhibit today and spent some time touching grass and seeing bugs.
Black and vibrant blue butterfly perched on a wooden trellis with a shiny green plant vining. Large orange and black monarch butterfly perched on my hand. The pretzel and blue heart tattoo on my wrist is in memory of my Daddy. Gorgeous, large butterfly with intense blue, aqua, and black coloring. Resting in a gray ceramic floor tile. Pretty yellow, tan and brown butterfly sitting on a green vine

It’s really gross and moist outside but I’m enjoying the peace on @chriskamler.bsky.social ‘s new front porch
Cloudy south sunset sky with a calm road and metal railing. Not pictured: my toes and feet propped upon the rail and the wine glass in my lap.

Surprised my kid at his job and got to watch @chriskamler.bsky.social in his natural habitat.

These flowers are very dry feeling. Hot pink strawflower with yellow center. Green lawn and coral yarrow in the background Close up of same sunset asiatic lily back lit by sunset.

Best thing about having a teenage driver is having a built in Uber/sober driver. 😂

Perfect date night. Made a delicious dinner (it’s my love language to cook for people), having wine, and watching baseball with the man I love 😍 @chriskamler.bsky.social
Two dinner plates. One with chicken, green beans, and potatoes. The other with the same and broccoli and mushrooms. Both plates covered in delicious lemon marscapone sauce. Also my white wine in a glass and Chris’s phone.
