Found old notebook from 8th grade in my folks’ garage. Inside was a list of assignments missing due to deep ennui: “You have many missing items…. you could fail science.” “Unit V assignments are due when you return or as soon as possible.” And an unfinished AD&D character sheet, naturally.
The scribbles on the back of the notebook include two irregular French verbs and the lyrics to Alice’s Restaurant Massacree. 14 year old me hated school, liked dorky rock, and was a huge geek. #nothinghaschanged #sameasiteverwas

black mood

Posted on by Phoebe Gleeson

I am in the worst mood. It’s gotta be from hormones and lack of sleep, and the lack of sleep is due to staying up to late even though I know I will be getting up early. So I have only myself to blame – which I am too willing to do!

I’m a mess.

Today was actually a good day. We had less than the usual number of conflicts, I wasn’t an asshole to the kids, and we got several chapters done in various books together. The middle kids are working through Life of Fred, and we did that, and Faith and Abby are starting World History and a didache catechism series and we did both of those.

But we’re short on money and long on responsibilities and that has me all knotted.

How dull!

Clementine likes black coffee though.

Madeline darts outside whenever she gets a chance. She lived outside her whole life until we met her. We have sandbur, and poison ivy, and worst of all Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever carrier ticks, so we don’t want her out bringing stuff back in, but she takes such delight in just being out there, being a cat and doing cat stuff. Here she is hunting a frog.
