Okay, Sinterprisers! We need your help picking our DS9 Worf episode for this Friday's recording. What's your vote? OR comment with an alternative!

And now 15 min and three palette cleanse books later, my 6yo silently weeps in her bed. I wipe away hot tears and ask, "What is it, baby?" She musters in a weak shaky voice "the tree book". Shel Silverstein, you messed us UP tonight. We already cried, let us sleep! #thegivingtree

Why yes, my daughter decided her hat belonged atop mine and I am going out in public like this. Wasn't there a kids book about someone who stacked hats?

My 6yo put my face in her hands and with all sincerity gave me advice, "It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get the job done." I had tears in my eyes and thanked her, I needed to hear it. She smiled, "It's my motto, you can use it too"... and then she wiped my tears.

I just realized that because I have taken a brief Morning DNA hiatus, I have no place to tell life stories right now. So ... Prepare yourself Captain's Pod: A Star Trek Companion audience... You will be subjected to a true story from Sunday when I held life and death in my hands in the form of a fish.

Shout out to KiwiCo for the "s'mores solar oven" idea ... It was a succsmess. Also to MaMa Jean's Market for having a s'mores display that made us stop in our tracks and confidently say the stars had aligned for this delicious scientific experiment.

At some point I lost track of my numbering system for my Captain's Pod: A Star Trek Companion audio files. So, @Whittsinned has been forced to endure my chaos in a whole new way.

I took off the bun and discovered this slice of cheese doing it's best to cover the bases of the Sonic Drive-In burger beneath.

Deneé sins Sonic Drive-In

Yes, you can see my goldfish in it's highrise apartment.

Deneé sins So did you give it a punny name like a Captain Picod, Deanna Trout, Lt Piker? I could keep going.

Making play date plans for my little one and her friend. I'm texting the dad about where to take them he says the girls will figure it out. I guess we're letting them lead the adventure and I'm overly excited to see what happens. They're 6... What do you think we'll end up doing?

...me? Um... Eating a Cup Noodles Stir Fry under the covers while the dogs shake at the fireworks. But don't feel bad for us, we ALSO have marshmallows and cheddar Sun Chips.

Things I am thinking about. -confidently singing the wrong lyrics with my child bc she doesn't understand what this being said is liberating -I think I miss T9 texting -how difficult would it be to synchronize all the loud second hands on my clocks for ONE tick and ONE tock

Welp. I love this for obvious reasons. (I think the original is from Reddit user TrixieVanSickle, but I'm not sure)

I actually went to the theater and watched this movie and and LOVED it so much. Tears. Laughter. Deep thoughts. A strong urge to get a Barbie something or other. "Ordinary Barbie" tattoo? Ok maybe that's too far ... Maybe not ...
