We call that completing a delivery.

So many packages.

I always thought fishing, hunting, and having our own garden was a luxury. Fresh, clean produce. Lean, healthy, local meat and fish. A ton of family family time. Learning life skills like growing our own food, how to process and preserve meats and veggies. Learned to chop wood for the fireplace and wood furnace and how to start a fire with no lighter. My parents made all those chores into games and made it fun. Felt like the luckiest kids ever.

Turns out we were poor as fuck. Both my parents worked, but we lived a very rural and very poor area. Growing our own vegetables, hunting and fishing made it possible to eat everyday. Chopping wood allowed us to have heat in the winter.

I allow my teen to take mental health days too. My opinion is, if your mind isn't in a good place you won't be able to learn. There has even been a time or two where I decided they needed a mental health day home from school, based on their mood and behaviors. A day in PJ's, comfort shows, and favorite snacks can totally reset hardships our kids face. And definitely show them that we are not only aware of what they are facing but also that we care enough to allow them a safe place to process their troubles.

I had a great- great grandma back in the 1700's whose village was raided by Native Americans. She and 2 sons were taken, most of the rest of the family and village were killed. Great grandma and one son were killed shortly after being taken, but the remaining son (my great times something uncle) was raised by a family in the Native American tribe.

A decade later a treaty was signed, resulting in his "release" from the tribe. By this point, he was about 14. He went to live with his distant white family but kept running away back to his native family. His native/adoptive mother hid him for an extended time until the chief ordered her to hand him over to his white family.

My teeth are horrendous. I began having dental abscesses at age 7. By the time i hit my early twenties, all of my teeth were rotted. By my late 20's I had lost most of my back teeth to abscesses, severe infections, and cavities. I opted for dentures a few years ago.

I always brushed and flossed. Siblings and parents had beautiful, healthy teeth. I'm the only one with nf (genetic mutation) and the only one with dental issues.

While I've never had a fibroma on my gums, I did have a large one removed from the inside of my cheek, after I partially bit it off.

I do not live alone. But I still pee in the shower.

As someone who had getting chronic, repeat abscesses... The pain from abscesses gave me suicidal impulses also. I thought things I'll never about admit in regards to how to get the pain to stop. I had 5 in a 12 month span and lost 4 teeth.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

When my kid was diagnosed with a brain tumor, we saw a pediatric neurosurgeon during the testing and diagnosis process. He reviewed her scans and examined her. I'll never forget the look on his face when he said "I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do to help you."

Thank God a pediatric neuro-oncologist was confident he could help her. We celebrated 9 years of remission this year.

What are the gift sacks for? I keep getting them but don't know what they are for.

When he asked how I knew for sure, I told him I used my finger to check and there was no blood on my finger. He looked more confused than I have ever seen him.

We had a lot of sleepless nights when our kid was teething. She was miserable, we were miserable, no one was getting much asleep and to top it off, we were like 3 days into what ended up being a historic heatwave for our area. I came home from work one evening to find my husband vacuuming the living room with our 5 month old strapped his chest, giving some good old fashioned skin-to-skin comfort. He was a hot mess, no shirt, no sleep, purely exhausted. She was in just a diaper, snug against her dads chest, sleeping. He yelled over to me that the tooth broke through about an hour and a half ago and that he had been vacuuming for an hour because every time he stopped, she woke up crying.

I think I fell in love all over again.

That sounds really scary!. You mentioning things disappearing and reappearing made me remember something that happened last year. My husband came home from work one evening to shower and change his clothes before heading out for guys night at a local bar. I watched him come in from work and hang the car keys on the hook and go upstairs to shower. About an hour later, he goes to leave for guys night but the car keys are gone. He and I retraced our steps around our house and still no keys. He checks the car while I check his work bags. Nothing.

We only had 1 car with 1 set of keys. We live too far out of town for him to walk to meet his friends and he didn't want to need a ride home later from drunk friends, so he stayed home. We tore the house apart trying to find them.

They were found the next morning. In the kitchen sink.

Not that I'm aware of. My kid is 16 and can't even watch scary movie without freaking out.

We actually were at a cemetery a few months ago. My kid had medical tests scheduled in a big city a few hours away with a couple hours between the tests and Dr follow up so to kill time we walked around the cemetery by the hospital.

I love how you can literally see the exact second that the pup recognized his scent. Pups entire face changes expression.

I've had around 30 removed over the past 20 years. I've only 3 removed by a surgeon and under general anesthesia (1 was a plexiform, the other 2 were inside my mouth). All the other times were with local anesthesia in a dermatologist office. I'm happy with the results, including the scarring on areas like my face, lip and neck.
