Don't even look at me.
Seriously, don’t. I overslept, I haven’t showered yet, and based on the condition of the kitchen, the 13yo appears to have stayed up all night eating sugar from the bowl, dry ramen and cheese toast. He also used my good tweezers to play with the big candle in the bathroom. There’s wax all over the sink, but much more importantly, my good tweezers.
Today is…
International #MigrantsDay.
the midpoint of Term 2, according to my DC Public Schools calendar, when progress reports are mailed hahahahahahaha weep
