Text of the page (random words):
aunt who is going through chemo turned up with covid after a sunday spent playing cards in the week and half that followed 15 others would test positive including my parents thank goodness all are doing well and on the mend i went and picked up my parents meds the other day and was riding with them in the passenger seat it hit me that two years ago i never would have thought i would be carrying what is essentially the cure for a pandemic in a paper bag on my passenger seat i almost started crying the ups and downs have happened this year my entire world view shifted more on that to follow and we made it through we officially made it through a pandemic we can now go back to our regularly scheduled program of my fear of regular germs peace out wait did someone say monkey pox posted by meredith at 2 09 pm no comments wednesday may 25 2022 15 minutes it takes about 15 minutes to drive my two middle schoolers to school in the morning give or take considering lights and traffic our usual thing is to talk about the day ahead and say our morning prayers sometimes we listen to the radio not too often these days as we are tired and unenthusiastic for school 15 minutes get in we are running behind little m was running late unusual for her because she is in a play today and needed a last minute costume camo jacket with black jeans as she is playing in the night witches a story about russian women pilots during ww2 worth learning about if you haven t heard of them hop in check to make sure we have all our things lunches badges phones drive way you know there was a school shooting in texas that killed 19 kids right i start talking over the lump in my throat they have to hear it from me also i have to give the warnings i just want you guys to be aware all the time of your surroundings always aware of the situation i go on to talk about paying attention to things remember where you are supposed to go in each class room from the active shooter drills they ve had 10 minutes we discuss as we always do at least once a month be kind to everyone stick up for anyone you see getting bullied it s hard but it s the right thing to do we are privileged we have food everyday and clothes and your parents don t hit each other or you we are so lucky just be kind to everyone because we don t know what they go home to every day 7 minutes i am soo proud of you guys not just for your grades i let them know but for how they are so kind and good humans being a good human is more important than being smart we say our prayers as we do every morning but this morning i am fighting hard not to cry as we add prayers for the families in uvalde 3 minutes pull up to the stoplight by the school little m from the back seat why are the flags halfmast is that for the shooting me yes it must be turn into the drop off lane you know these last two days of school will be the safest all year because everyone is on heightened alert i fucking hate that i said that and that i know that there is an sro walking through the parking lot an assistant principal standing with a security guard at drop off little m laughs that she s going to have to explain that she s wearing a camo jacket because she s in a play one minute ok i love you guys kisses kisses see you at regular pickup time and then i watch them get out and then i check my blind spot and the crosswalk and then i pull back into the traffic lane and then i start crying i don t know what needs to be done but we can t keep doing what we are doing now because it is not working posted by meredith at 12 30 pm no comments sunday may 22 2022 the comment section the comment section gets me every time i ll see a post on fb and i know the comment section is gonna piss me off but i ll read it anyway it is such an achilles heel for me i thought about creating a twitter account just to post the stupid comments people post if i m honest i still want to do that i usually don t say anything unless it s just too much most of the time i ll just screenshot it and send it to little d and then we roast the beep out of the person just today i saw a comment of a relative i use that term loosely as he is married to one of my cousins about the formula shortage now let s start by saying i breastfed three children one for four months with little medical support and two breast infections and then another infection that required a medicine that was not bf friendly so i had to quit the second child refused to use any other nipple pacifier and i was forced to bf exclusively for one year the third ate wayyy more than i could keep up with i had to supplement and then stop at five months so when i say i have a personal opinion about this know that i do anyway back to the comment the original post said babies without food should be a national emergency not a problem for parents to solve seems reasonable to me i mean babies without food emergency so dipshit comments the following i m still stuck on the fact that people have been a thing for a couple thousand years and commercially produced formula has only been around 50 60 years how d we make it this far wake up sheep and pull your heads out your asses well that s a lot to unpack i mean let s break it down people being a thing for 2000 years well we ve been around longer but let s slide on past that in 13 seconds i found on google that commercially produced formula was invented in 1867 to solve infant mortality i mean he asked a reasonable question how d we make it this far i thought maybe he actually wanted an answer here s my response formula has actually been around for over a hundred years it was invented to help combat infant mortality so i guess the answer to what did we do before that was die or i guess hope you could find a wet nurse shrug emoji snarky i know but he was being a dick and since both of his children were born addicted to controlled substances i thought he was being a little holier than thou he responded with this gem obviously the vast majority survived just fine without formula shrug emoji yeah he s right fuck those babies who can t survive i didn t comment that but i really wanted to i mean reeeallly wanted to i mean like even now i want to go back and write that but i decided to let his stupidity speak for itself gosh this blogging thing is super therapeutic maybe i don t need that twitter account posted by meredith at 8 00 am no comments saturday may 21 2022 you ve got mail i got an email this morning that kind of rocked me i slept in lazy saturday when i woke up i checked my phone as always email first today there was a comment on my blog post from september 3rd 2010 it could be a bot who knows lisa said hi great reading your post i haven t gotten a comment in years i tapped the link wondering what post it was it was the post titled the secret life it was about the day my oldest little d started kindergarten whew i was done in i was so incredibly sad why on earth had i stopped blogging the emotions were so raw and perfectly described that time in my life i went back to my most recent post the start of the pandemic again why on earth have i not documented these last two years i could scream i come back to this blog every once in a while intent on starting to regularly update i think that the overwhelming sense that there is too much to catch up stops me but what if this time i just document what s going on now and as past stories are relevant they get included i started this blog as a new mom i had no idea what life had to offer i didn t know i would end up with three brilliant kids who are also amazing little humans i love to be around i didn t know my political beliefs and world views and religion would shift and change for the better i didn t know i would sit on boards and task forces and work at volunteer organizations that would change my life never thought i would be president of a pto either shrugs here i sit as a middle aged woman with a child one year from college another starting high school and yet another halfway through middle school i ve logged 20 years of marriage and we re building a vacation home directly on the spot where the trailer i grew up in sat i spend several hours a week volunteering not enough time doing laundry and dreading every meal i have to cook i pick floor and tile samples and second guess choices and dream of the day the house is finished it s been almost two years seriously this time i ve got to stick with the blog and hopefully my writing will improve because like my weak muscles it is a skill that needs exercise also my 17 year old said i think you should start writing again i think it will be good for you so there s that ok as i reread this i am cringing so i ll hit publish before i change my mind posted by meredith at 2 24 pm no comments tuesday march 31 2020 is it appropriate to be happy about a stay at home order why come back to blogging now i wanted to document life and i d rather type that write in a journal simple as that probably no pictures though i think my account was deleted where i could upload from and my blogger memory was full plus rather just journal for now huh i just added a test photo for fun and it actually loaded so who knows i have thoughts being stuck at home is actually my dream i love having all my kids here all the time and if d didn t have to work still end date is in may i would be in heaven the only thing that makes me sad is that my parents can t visit i ve seen them two times i took them groceries and got their mail but still felt like i was putting them in jeopardy i don t think i ve mentioned but i m a total germaphobe so you would think that i would be freaking out but its actually the opposite i am safe at home my family is safe at home and i ve trained d well so he better be safe at work i am more freaked out every single time my kids get out of my car and walk into the school building when they extended spring break and said we would not go back to face to face learning i was over the moon happy make of that what you will don t care and being a germaphobe if you don t think i had on hand when this hit a huge stock pile of disinfecting stuff you would be very mistaken i did not and have not bought any disinfecting stuff since before this started nor funnily enough have we run out of toilet paper again make of it what you will we are basically preppers i guess i m even getting used to cooking every single meal we had one of our calves butchered earlier in the year so we are set for meat my sis in law had eggs should we run out and i love beer bread again we must be preppers because all this happened i had five loaves of bread in the freezer it s just how we do it we have finished day two of crisis schooling and today no tears little md is actually finished with all his work for the whole week except pe and specials art music which must be done daily little d and little m are mostly working on their own easy for me i ve sent all the pics of little md s work to his teachers and barely forgot any attachments haha posted by meredith at 11 48 am no comments monday march 30 2020 wow you can really danse i debated on what to title this post i mean quarantine day blah blah blah sounded sooo done i went with my current ear worm thanks to tiktok today we started home school i recently read a post that called it crisis schooling and i feel that is the perfect description because it is of course a situation we are forced into not one we planned or chose little d who is 15 by the way yeah when i started this blog she was three i think anyway she is doing all online distance learning she is sad because she actually liked school she loves learning and really loves the social interaction with her friends one of the last things we did out was her one act play district uil competition her school didn t advance but it didn t matter because everything grinded to a halt right after it was the start of our extended spring break little m ah my 12 going on 16 year old girl she is also doing online distance learning but she hated school so this is just an extension of her hate the only thing she liked about school was theatre little md my baby boy who is 9 who still says he will always live with me and never marry heart emoji cry emoji he does his school work in the same way as his
