This morning husband and I discussed in hushed tones whether to tell our 10 yr old. She attends a private Muslim school so she would hear the news anyway. It was an awful way to send her off this morning. But one thing I wanted her to know is we are loved by our neighbors still.

Epitome of a team player ⬇️
A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win.

Don’t like Pelosi, but can’t quite articulate why? Felt the same way about Hillary Clinton? Time for some deep self-reflection about gender bias and leadership.
