Let me explain. I have a child, 12yrs old. He has his own cell phone and his friends (and their parents) all have his number and mine. I can listen to this boy be on the phone with his friends for hours at a time, sometimes solo, sometimes in a group call, but either way spending hours on the phone. The *minute* he gets stimulated or overwhelmed he just hangs up. No “hey guys, gotta go,” or “can we tone it down, I’m getting overstimmed.” Just *CLICK* gone. I asked him once why he doesn’t say anything and he told me “they know if I get off the call, I’m over it. I’ll be back, just need a minute to not people.” Truly, that is the person I want to be, lol. So when I say I’m raising myself, I’m raising who I wanted to be when I was his age. Someone confident enough to be my whole self and with a friend group who gets it.

Ugh…at least instead of being 500 over my goal by lunchtime, I’m under by 300.

I sat on the last 2 baskets of laundry over the weekend because I ran out of hangers. Today, I bought 30 hangers as the baskets looked pretty full. They were full…of towels. 🤦🏾‍♀️
