She came home this summer and all of us agreed we won't be doing that again. Still got two kids at home and the next in line is following sisters lead and becoming the same nightmare, she is a senior in high school so just got to make through the next 12 months with that one. From where I'm sitting, I love my kids, but I ain't missing them at the house. The freedom is awesome even with just the one gone, I can't imagine the level of awesome when all three are out.
Throw retirement in and life is fucking awesome, even if you are older, and your body starts fucking up occasionally. Love to see our youngest once a week for dinner. The oldest has her hands full with an infant, so I see her maybe once a month, which is fine by me.
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
