My son referring to me in this tweet of congrats and pride as “my uncool California hippie Sunday School teacher single mom” makes up for ANYthing the world might throw at me. I tell you, God is such a showoff.

Is it totally lost on the American people, that the very same Supreme Court who ruled that 172 million women should no longer have the freedom to decide to their own pregnancy choices, is now, all of sudden, struggling with the idea of whether ONE MAN should have the freedom to…

HOW IT HAPPENED

1. Rs say no foreign aid without border security

2. Ds say nope

Your dog pictures have given me a new lease on life. We got Mukti from a backyard breeder who said she was 75% border collie and 25% majestic European shepherd. Then we did her DNA: 40% border collie, 20% Aussie, some boxer and pitbull and 12% Great Pyrenees. Now 58 lbs.
