tongue emoji from their father-in-law

January 9: Ana looked so tired this morning that when she ordered a medium coffee, the barista offered to upgrade her to a large for free.

January 10: Turns out Mission Graduates is being sued. A woman slipped in a puddle just outside the doors of our cafeteria and got a daytime commercial lawyer who decided to sue us because the surveillance footage showed Mr. Chris discovering the puddle and trying to clean it up.

January 11: Maria had her kids write lines as punishment for bad behavior. She must not have explained what to do enough because one of her students turned in a piece of paper with ten actual lines drawn across it.

January 12: The kids complained that the 50 point Jeopardy question under the category of Recess was too easy. It asked about the correct way to respond when someone asks to play with you, the answer being yes. Then I asked them if it was so easy, then why do I see so many of them forgetting the correct answer out on the playground?

January 13: Nick’s dad obtained a smoker last week and has been sending out the names of recipes from the book in group texts for the last few days. Each text has at least two variations of “yummy” and three emojis. There is not a good enough reason for anyone to receive a tongue emoji from their father-in-law.

January 14: I neglected to bring three hacks sacks home from work, so I am stuck trying to learn how to juggle with tennis balls while two dogs circle me like great white sharks.

January 15: Reading “Station Eleven” when everyone, including Nick, was succumbing to an inescapable flu was probably a bad idea. Every time he coughs and his voice sounds like his throat is coated in a thick layer of honey, I grow more paranoid that the end of the world is drawing nearer.

January 16: Abel has a tendency to wander off, so his mom always dresses him in neon colors to make it easier for us and for her to spot him when he does. Today he noticed that I have a new laptop. Then he asked if I had transferred Netflix to it and if he could watch Yugioh.
