FR-AMILY MATTERS

Instagram can suck. Facebook can suck. I mean, overall, you know I love these platforms, but when you’re drinking your 3rd cup of coffee on a cold Tennessee morning and you’re scrolling and you see Mom saying “Can’t wait for tonight!” on your sister’s Facebook feed and you start to cry a heavy cry, perhaps it’s Facebook sucking, or your monthly hormones reacting, or perhaps it’s simply because you’re sad.

Our thanksgiving plans just came to a halt. Like bam. Our daughter said she didn't feel good earlier but I passed it off as tired. We had a crazy four days with her California cousins and she was spent. And just as I was about to start packing the family to leave tomorrow, she said she was going to be sick. Voila, throw up she did and she's currently lying next to me while I monitor her for more sickness. Thanks germs! Just in the nick of time.
