@BowesChay We adopted our children from Russian orphanages. They would’ve died if they’d stayed. Never in a million years would’ve ever thought I’d be grateful for their dual citizenship 😑

@BrainStorm_Joe I’m def not telling anyone to shut up. But I’m exhausted. Tired of rallies, decodes, misinformation, lies. I have dogs and kids and a husband and had a brain bleed. Kinda losing my enthusiasm. I’m stocked up prayed up ready for anything. Grateful for your voice, all voices.

@krezae I got in a car that looked exactly like mine. Door was unlocked. “My” sunglasses and phone were in the passenger seat. Weird. Trash was everywhere in the car. What the hell? Who did this? Oh. Ooops. Not my car. Got out slowly, hustled in to my car three spaces down. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂

@TuckerPoodleMA People ask weird crap. Both of our kids were adopted from Russian orphanages. Both are stunning. So many people asked if we picked them for their looks. Like we had a choice. “Yeah they gave us a catalog. I said give me the pretty ones” 🙄🙄🙄
