The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be. — Marcel Pagnol

I see. So it was like becoming a stripper in college to pay for his college tuition. — My mom after I explained why Rob took the role for Twilight (FYI because he was broke and just got evicted).

To never let my metoprolol prescription run out without a refill already in hand. POTS is bad, but having it controlled by beta blockers, then cold turkey not having said beta blockers?….

Definite no-no.

My damn chest is tight.

Kids play T-ball, then baseball; they play games and have practice every week and, if they’re serious about it, pre-season and post-season too. We never think, “Let’s have kids play baseball for eight weeks in seventh grade,” and then expect that in five years they can join the majors or even be on a college team. But for some reason we do this with civics. We say, “We’re going to have you do a penny harvest in fifth grade and a service learning project in tenth grade, and then we’ll teach you abstractly about government for a semester in twelfth grade.” Then our students enter the major leagues of citizenship, and we give them the vote and expect them to keep our country going. And that’s just crazy!

  • Jordyn: What?! You're going to Arizona without me???
  • Adrienne: How did you know Phoenix was in Arizona, is it the capitol or something?
  • Me: Hell if I know, Jo, is Phoenix the capitol of Arizona?
  • Jordyn: YES Pheonix is the capitol of Arizona!
  • Me: Oh, I wasn't sure. Coulda just been a major city. I don't remember this stuff
  • Jordyn: *rolls her eyes at us and walks away* And THIS is why I'm not homeschooled....
