I was a towhead, which means I was born blonde and it turned to brown as I got older. When I first started noticing my hair turning darker, I asked my mom why and she told me it was because I ate too much peanut butter. I stopped eating it for about a week until I decided that I loved peanut butter more than being a blonde.

I think that the stage of life you're in would also play a huge part in what hours you'd prefer. When I was single, I'd prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I'm married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.

40F from the West coast, USA and the first car I bought was a manual Toyota Camry. Man, I loved that car. Up until I got T-boned by a Bronco. All of my cars afterwards were automatic for convenience and safety, but I miss my little manual car. It had great gas mileage.

Yup. The th sound is pronounced with a hard "T," and when the r is in the middle of the word it's silent, and typically has more of an l pronunciation. It's a very non western language, and is completely independent from Latin.

I was in high school, and I remember babysitting my brother's kids for new years. I'd invited a friend to hang out with me while I watched them, but her parents were very freaked out about Y2K and insisted she stay home with them. They did do some prepping on water and canned goods, but not quite to the "bunker under their floorboards" level. As for me and my family, we carried on as if life would continue as normal, and thanks to countless people working tirelessly, it did just that.

Same thing in Thailand as well. Malls will never go extinct because they're air conditioned areas that anyone can enter.

That's why some parking lots put a cement curb a few feet away from the sidewalk, where the tires should stop.

I like casual gaming videos, and often watch Mr. A Game and QuinBoBin, particularly their Zelda videos.

I also enjoy a good analysis, so Cinema Therapy is my go-to.

I have young children in the house, so it can be hard to find entertaining videos that don't have bad language that I don't want parroted back to me.

I always think my husband is cute, especially when he first wakes up and is still a bit groggy. It's the disheveled hair that gets me.

There's definitely a lot to be said about the exhaustion from long flights. I used to travel often between east Asia and the States, so I had to get used to sleeping on planes out of necessity. I'd always try to get a long layover in either Seoul or Beijing because their airports allowed for sleep. Seoul had a layover area where there were reclining lounges that were really comfortable to sleep on, and Beijing has a hotel in the airport where you can get a single room with a bed. It also has a shower, which is awesome when you're getting off of a 10+ hour flight.

This kind of nonsense is why my mom moved in with us. There are so many horror stories about elderly abuse, and those homes are freaking expensive!

Gladys as Super Granny is peak granniness imo.

 

When I was 4, my world was small And I believed I knew it all But kindergarten made me see That there was more to life than me And as my education grew I kept on getting more confused So by the time I reached 13 I found I didn't know anything It seems to me that as you grow The more you learn, the less you know

 

As the title says, my 4 year old has been clenching her jaw a lot in the past few months. I think it started as stress and has now developed into a habit.

As for the cause of her stress, we've had some major life changes in the past few months. Her grandparents and cousin came to stay with us from the other side of the world for about 6 weeks and went back about a month ago. We also welcomed her new baby sister 2 months ago. She had been an only child before then.

I've been doing all I can to spend time with her and maintain our relationship while juggling the exhaustion that comes from a new baby, but it seems like she needs more. Her father, my mother, and my best friend who is practically a surrogate mother to her have stepped in a lot to help, but the jaw clenching remains.

So my question to other parents of multiples is how to help her adjust. Any tips or advice would be welcome.
