Boo-cca Esche 👻

Wow so I just learned some people were *thriving* while I was just surviving and now our lives are too different to be friends.

We've talked about it ourselves.

Tempted to take all our shake and just make an edible to end all edibles. Like a nibble of a brownie. A crumb.

Volume up for incredibly healing Milo purrs.

New vape flavor apparently? Cough drop.

Reposting for no reason

No one told me how much time I would spend doing repairs to teddy bears as a mom.

Nothing worse than admitting you don't have the capacity for something, others graciously volunteering to take it off your plate, and then... it doesn't get done. 🫡

Ahhh, the depressive period of my bipolar 2 gets physically worse each time

Perfect book for this rainy day. @pantspants.bsky.social cracks me up.

Who are you, my therapist?

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

I do love cheesecake in general and will meet up with most anyone to eat a slice of cake/cheesecake at any other location.

I have thrown up in every Cheesecake Factory I've been in. That place gives me the ick

Mother fucking mental illness I swear to God

Forgot how much fun fire is ☺️

I’m so lucky I get to bike on infrastructure like this. I love you, St Paul.

Lemme know if you need a kid’s suit jacket made!! I bought a pattern for Halloween and I don’t foresee making many of them for my little lady.

Just caught a falling hot iron by the handle so I guess that’s probably my luck for the week. Should probably crawl back in bed.

Teaching children to make fire today. Big departure from me at this age, who already played with matches.

My partner knows to notify you, but I think y'all would suss out an imposter fairly easily.

I saw Wicker!!! It was enjoyable- good commentary on love, marriage, trauma, and finding the right person for you. Sex was under and overdone at the same time: it's likely not what you'd expect.

Someone wouldn't care if he saw his neighbors being ripped from their homes.

My third grader said one of her classmates came in with a Looney Tunes shirt with "ABOLISH ICE" written on the sleeves in hot pink.

Be sweet to me?

I sure end up talking to a lot of people for someone who likes to sit in silence

Sometimes I still think about the second grader's art work from the Fair that was just a photo of the Eiffel Tower they took on vacation.

Who is running the ship here

… they don’t care. As a survivor- they don’t care. They’ve never cared. Children and women are not whole people. Everything that happens to them somehow happens in a vacuum.

My other beef with Minnesota and voting: the stickers are soooooo boring. Jazz it up a bit. Lazer Loon. Something.

"Children cutting off their parents is evil!!!" "Woman's mom uses child rape against her in attack ad!"

My daughter told me last night that she wants to live in Ukraine when the war is over. We do have an easy citizenship connection...

Milo roasting himself in the afternoon sun.

My community center is offering early voting next week. My neighbor and I plan on walking with our families up there to: vote, get books from the library, and then come home to eat chili together. Community. Democracy. Family.

But not his girlfriend. 🙃

My (ADHD) daughter, over a month into school: "Mom!! I'm the only white kid in my class!!" Me: "... did you just notice that?" Her: "Yeah!" Amazing. Her brain is incredible.

My kid's school locked down 2 times last year because of ICE. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Abolish the campaign of terror against our families, friends, and neighbors.

I feel like one side of my body has been losing strength for a while now and my brain don't work good no more but maybe I'm just imagining everything.

And then she read the whole thing to me. I adored this one. Still as fun as I remembered.

Have to undo so much stitching cause of an unclear pattern ughhhh

Having a kid is cool cause sometimes they come home with free books they picked from the library (which is awesome in its own right) and one of them is one of your favorites from when you were a kid.

Apple pie bar. Not usually a huge baked fruit person but had to get rid of some incredibly tart apples. This is delicious. Even better with some ice cream

I hate accidentally waking up the people that are being forced to find shelter on our bike trail, but there's not a safer way for us to go. Why can't we just house people!?!?

Also I need windbreak pants

I have a nail in my tire, but it mostly seems to be holding the air in for now so. 🤷‍♀️
