I love that you have the asking if he can have a girlfriend recording. Keep it forever and bring it out often!

“I can’t tell if Trump has been president for two weeks, two months, or two years”. - felt that in so many ways. When do you sleep Jessica? Bc I’m not sure the President, or Ye, are right now either.

My youngest had his first crush in 1st grade. I said, oh - is she in your class? No

In your grade? No

Ride your aftercare school bus?? Yes

Okay tell me abt her. She’s in 5th grade but she’s funny and smart... 😂

It was an interesting conversation in the end. Regardless, mom’s wake up everyday in today’s modern age to texts from our children needing something. I now don’t feel so alone in that. Let the “mommy blogger” stick, bc it’s relatable

Loved the interview with Sean. He asked all the questions I wanted to ask. This is an amazing ride for a 77 year old Canadian.

The only plus to being down sick this week is catching up here with your articles! I would pay triple the amount to follow you! Just canceled a subscription to another female journalist who was great early on but has really got a case of TDS and I simply cannot! I love your coverage of everything.

I don’t get it. If a person was okay with the Fascism of the last 4 years and NOW has a problem, they’re dead to me

Not sure if I’m too late, but please let me know if you need any sort of special ticket or entrance to the golf tournament this weekend. I would be more than happy to help you and/or your son out.

You're so sweet, Allison. I'm not sure what Arlo was wanting. I'm not familiar with the event. What's your IG?

My husband is a part of the Thunderbirds. My Instagram is private but happy to accept you lol. There are so many fun spots along the course and some require special tickets to get into.

What a pleasure to meet Arlo and his friends. Such a polite and fun group of young men.

I like how you came with receipts! Do NOT question if Jess is really Momming her ass off while simultaneously working her ass off to save the world!! As a working mom to 7 (from 12-26 year olds) and school speech therapist with a caseload of 62 unique wonderful kids with specific needs (and paperwork), I relate to the mental juggling act! Keeps life interesting though! Just try to get SLEEP! That’s the key!

Hi Jessica,

You put into a paragraph what I’ve been splaining’ for years to that beloved man o mine.

“What did you do today”? Next to, “What’s for dinner?” 2 of the most annoying sentences. Although my mommy days ( 3 girls 1 boy) have long been over, I sat here over dinner and read him that paragraph about mommy multitasking. 30 years later you gave me the perfect words!

I really enjoy getting my need to know news from HIH on Substack and also getting to know more about you on the daily Thanks for sharing love the Friday Fragments.
