Salut Masto!
Vous/tu as eu un bébé ces dernières années et tu aurais voulu qu'on te dise quelque chose de précis, que tu as peu ou pas entendu? Sur la grossesse, l'arrivée du bébé ou autre chose ? De quoi s'agit il?

(C'est pour une amie qui n'a pas de jeunes parents dans son entourage, des retours d'expérience pourraient lui être utiles)

Vous pouvez, si vous le voulez, me répondre en privé et partager ! Merci beaucoup !

Just weeks after creating a $50 million tax credit for private schools, Idaho has shut down a program that helped public school students pay for laptops, school supplies, tutoring and other expenses.

Saturday morning of a long weekend... next week with all its 'normal' amount of workdays is going to be challenging, but right now I'm basically halfway through the weekend and I'm delighted about it.

Yesterday was a bit of freelance work in between food prep and pulling weeds. Also went for an evening walk with Adam; we're trying to do it at least every couple of days and I'm loving it.

Today I spent most of the morning with Dad -- we went grocery shopping and then I sorted out an app for his phone (to do with one of his health conditions). Healthtech is pretty wild, isn't it? We talked about family, death and how life is precious precisely because it's limited (this in relation to that drug that helps dogs live longer).

This afternoon is seed-sowing and possibly a nap.

My child has not been in school for 2 months suffering with #mentalHealth problems. Yesterday I went to a #parents evening and talked with most of his #teachers. Every one of them offered something: special classes, sending work home, suggested timetable changes, #school swaps, video calls... And they all expressed their sadness that my child wasn't able to be in class.

Teachers have a HARD job, so to offer all this was amazing, I was moved to tears by the care and humanity they showed. THANK YOU!

Feel free to boost to show appreciation to all the amazing teachers out there!

The Trump Administration’s War on Children

The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Today I went to visit Mum and took a posy from the garden. She seemed to like the flowers. I'm not sure she knows *who* I am but she knows I'm familiar (I'll take it; it's expected but I guess another sign of decline).

I had the thought when I was walking back home... it's not too late to plant bulbs. I might get an assorted pack and plant them in the ex-lawn and then I can take her bunches in the spring. I always find it easier to visit if I have something to bring, and flowers brighten up everyone's day.
