Hec, I'm so glad to hear that Matilda's year turned around so well - not just the grades (as much as it would have hurt my obnoxiously grade-grubbing little heart to say that sentence when I was in high school), but I know she was having an especially hard time, and I'm so glad she found ways to take care of herself and find some joy and connection and creativity.
(Seriously, my high school self is making the barf gesture at middle-aged me in between yelling WOO HOO STRAIGHT As!!)
Go, Matilda!!!
My friend just found out she's got to get her wisdom teeth out. She's 52.
Please send easy-peasy, routine and breezy -ma.
It's wonderful to read that Matilda and Dylan are doing so well after such a challenging year. It sounds like they handled better than a lot of adults I know!
Lots of wisdom teeth-ma for Matilda! And that's great news about her school year, and Dylan's award!
Way to go, Dylan, and yeah, I hear you on what President gives the award...good timing, kid!
I will be sending all the good extraction vibes her way! I had dental work done yesterday (the first of a long road!), and it went well, so I am forwarding that ~ma on to Matilda!
Gladly accepted!
Dylan is getting a Presidential Award for Educational Excellence this year
Right the fuck on, Dylan!
and I'm so proud of him but also incredibly relieved he didn't graduate 8th grade during the Trump administration.
And well timed!
Emmett is here and supporting Matilda by mockingly eating food in front of her and talking about the burrito she can't have at the moment.
We're off!
As is right and proper sibling behavior.
Timelies all!
A little late here, but here's some healing ~ma for Matilda. Also, way to go on the grades!
Everything went smoothly. "Her teeth came out like candy."
She started to panic and cry when they were putting in the IV but Emmett knelt down beside her and held her hand, and she was okay.
Thanks for the -ma. I release it to the wild.
