Real Life

We had a really busy weekend! Wm decided he wanted an increase in his allowance, so there has been an increase in his chores. It is glorious. While I went out to the Chocolate Cafe with a friend, Wm swept the whole house! Wheeeee! He also made scones for his own breakfasts yesterday. He didn't want to pat them out (he was like, "my hands will get dirty!") and he was nervous putting them in the oven. So I did those things. But he's closing in on being a solo scone chef! On Sunday, we went to see Hidden Figures. It was really good! Wm highly recommends it. He also recommends getting the pretzel bites. He and Steve took that business DOWN.

I got an email this morning asking for pictures of the kids at school/school events for the elementary graduation ceremony. Then, we have a meeting at the school tonight about the overnight camp the kids go to in May. It's crazy!! Wm will be gone on his birthday. :( He doesn't care - in fact, he seems excited. But I am majorly bummed that Wm is going to be away from me on his birthday! I am trying to see if I can get the teachers to make sure the kids sing him happy birthday and do a little something for him at camp.

And I also spent my weekend compulsively reading the news and wondering if this is real life. Steve and I already have passports, but I am getting one for Wm stat. I think we need to be ready to get out of here quickly. It's been barely a week. Barely a WEEK. And the constitution is already being violated. Trump is not a Democrat. Trump is not a Republican. He is a fascist. And he is putting us all in danger. The sooner we all figure this out (on both "sides of the aisle") and get him out there, the better!!! (Also, there is no campaign of appeasement in my neck of the woods. I'm not "giving him a chance" or "trying to understand the other side." If you support Trump, or his policies, you are an evil person and I will tell you so to your face. So stay far, far away from me unless you want some shit to get real.)
