Nevertheless, she persisted. ✊🏻
I didn’t love Hillary. She was flawed. But I so badly wanted to see a woman in the White House. I was devastated in 2016... because Hillary didn’t pick #Warren as her running mate. I truly thought that would have locked it all up.
I can’t explain why I loved #Warren back in #2016, but I just felt she was THE ONE.

When she announced her candidacy for 2020 I was overwhelmed with excitement.

She was going to do it! She would be THE ONE!
Then she gained and gained and gained in the polls. I saw it all coming together.

Then boom. The drop began and she never recovered. Maybe poli-sci experts can explain it.
All I remember is a lotta folks saying she won’t win bc OTHER folks wouldn’t elect a woman. So they voted for someone else. A man.
And nevertheless, she persisted.

Until she could persist no further.

For now.

Three hour zoom PD. Wife is out of the house at work.

3yo fell down steps. Both kids hitting. A few nerf shots were fired at a non-willing combatant.

Somehow managed to add to the conversation & take 3 pages of notes.

This setup is untenable for the long haul. #LessIsMore
Two loads of laundry. Made lunches. Cleaned the kitchen. And three more zoom hours upcoming.

Kids have been in front of tv all day.

It’s fine. This won’t lead to multiple melt downs. It’s all good.
btw, THIS is why parents are demanding in class school to resume. (Well, not all, but many/most.)

Trust me. This ain’t the life. I want normalcy again too. But it ain’t about kids falling behind. Believe that.

Doing yard work.

I’ve seen the mailman’s truck breakdown and struggle to start 2-3x so far.

I hollered, “damn man, Trump won’t even give y’all gas?”

He laughed and shook his head.
Some of this is true. Some of it is not true.

It’d be funnier if it was all true.
Oh man. He’s still stuck. This part is very true lol

A tale of two #Ohio senators reacting to Trump bashing Goodyear.

See if you can guess who is who. It’s gonna be tough, but you can do it!

1) actively pushing back
2) pretending it didn’t happen.

PS Don’t you LOVE when the president seeks to harm an American business? ImageImage
I know what you’re thinking.

Democratic senator pushing back. GOP senator ignoring it. Hyper partisanship. Yada yada yada.

But look...

You’re right. That’s exactly what it is.

@SenSherrodBrown advocates for his constituents while @senrobportman will say he missed it.
It’s almost as if I should be surprised??? 😮 ImageImage

When I woke up, I didn’t think this was going to happen. And yet, here we are... Image
And it just so happened to be my best! #RecordSmashed Image
It’s funny how the first time you do something, ever, it’s a new record. I’ll take it though.

Also, I need you younger folks in your early 30s and younger to realize that your joints are going to be shot way earlier than you think. #OuchAnklesAndKnees

1) mommy stuck her hand in the pee-filled toilet, of course!

I ran downstairs to find gloves or a bag. I’m not sticking my hand in that fiasco - disgusting!

“You probably have pee on your hands every time you go to the bathroom,” she said.

Wtf does she think I do in there?
2) “oh no, I’m going to die,” was Patrick’s words.

How was this particular event going to be his demise? Idk. Somehow toothpaste in the toilet is a killer tho? Kids are weird.

I accidentally dropped the kids’ toothpaste in the pee filled toilet - bc the 6yo didn’t flush and left the lid up.

1) who stuck their hand in the pee-filled toilet to fish it out without waiting for a bag or glove?
2) Who screamed “Oh no, I’m going to die!” after seeing the toothpaste in the pee-filled toilet?
3) Who was terrified to get anywhere near the pee-filled toilet?
