All we can do is hope right?!

And bless you, dear mama, that’s walked through this journey and answered how ridiculous this season can be 🤣🤣🤣

TURN THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP ON THOSE THINGS PLEASE.

I'm over here simultaneously shouting the goodness of big kids while also trying to figure out the sex question. So far what I've come up with is that apparently we need to move so our bedrooms are on different floors. 😂 Please report back if you find a less drastic answer!

Love this, Neidy! I can relate so much to the feelings you write about with regard to the tornadoes and your home. For me, it hasn’t been tornadoes (yet 🙏🏼), but things like car accidents and active shooters when I’m literally an ocean away from my oldest kids who are dealing with these things. It’s so hard and terrifying.

As to your “most pressing question” 😂, oh my goodness, let me know if you get a good answer. It’s especially hard once they’re old enough to know what you’re up to. And you share a bathroom. And your walls are notoriously NOT soundproof and your teen tells you this. 🫣😂😂😂 I’m like, “How ‘bout you go watch Gilmore Girls rn—with your earbuds in?” 🤣

We’ve tried 🥲 But firefighter schedules don’t allow for this possibility sometimes.
