A QuikTrip staff member died due to Covid and people actually think it’s funny. When will this pandemic be taken seriously?! . #qt #quiktrip #fortworth #ftw #tx #texas #covid #covıd19 #coronavirus #pandemic #globalpandemic #death #mondaymood #monday #2020 #spring #peoplesuck #evil #us #usa #americanbully #america #american #notfunny #troll @quiktrip @fortworthweekly @cityoffortworth @cdcgov @cdcglobal

My daughter LOVES the new Elephant documentary on Disney+ Even I like it, it’s a good story and I like how they personalize the elephants so you root for their survival. Duchess Meghan has that ‘soothing mom’ voice that just fits well with this story. We’re watching this today as part of our homeschool lesson on ecosystems. @disney @disneyplus @sussexroyal @disneynature #disney #disneynature #disneynatureelephant #disneynatureelephants #meghanmarkle #mom #elephant #elephants #nature #africa #documentary #naturedocumentary #daughter #autistic #autism #autistickids #autisticgirl #momlife #homeschool #science #autistickidsrock #autismisbeautiful #homeschoolmom #covid #covid19 #coronavirus #stayhome #quarantine #quarantinelife #irishmom

Grabbed my favorite iced latte before the new ‘Stay Home’ restrictions go into effect Espresso provides a little bit of happiness in a stressful world Shout out to QuikTrip for letting staff wear gloves while working which makes us customers feel safer about going there during this pandemic @quiktrip @cityoffortworth #coffee #coffeelover #coffeetime #latte #icedcoffee #icedlatte #hazlenut #covid_19 #covıd19 #covid #coronavirus #coronaviruspandemic #pandemic #pandemic2020 #globalpandemic #irish #irishmom #momlife #espresso #quiktrip #tuesday #2020 #march #springiscoming #texas #coffeeaddict #health #emotional #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

Apparently we have not reached the level of desperation where people are willing to eat this during a food shortage #peeps #peepscereal @kelloggsus #kelloggs #cereal #foodshortage #walmart @walmart #covid #covid_19 #covıd19 #corona #coronavirusoutbreak⚠️ #coronavirus #coronaviruspandemic #pandemic2020 #pandemic #globalpandemic #momlife #desperate #march #2020 #spring #easter #eastertreats #food #breakfast #foodstagram #breakfastideas #breakfastofchampions #sarcasm #desperation

I don’t know what we have growing in our backyard this year - after years of dead and dying junk i quit mowing this past year and just let nature take its course. Whatever took over is beautiful, soft, full of flowers and nearly covers my entire 1/2 acre. It’s going to be heartbreaking to cut but it’s past ankle height and could easily hide snakes that have come into the area before I’m just going to enjoy it while i have it #nature #grass #weed #vegetation #vegetationmanagement #plants #plantsofinstagram #naturephotography #naturelovers #green #spring #2020 #wednesday #irish #irishmom #momlife #mowing

Took the train to Grapevine just to try this place for lunch and it was completely worth it!!! ~ The food was delicious and reasonably priced. ~ The staff was super sweet and the deli a breath away from the train stop ~ I even took my dad who spent a couple decades in Chicago and he said it reminded him of what he used to eat there @weinbergersdeligrapevine @weinbergersdeligrapevine #lunch #deli #kids #autistic #autistickids #autistickidsrock #autisticgirl #grilledcheese #pastramisandwich #pastrami #russiandressing #pumpernickel #spring #springbreak #springbreak2020 #monday #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #2020 #march #momlife #grapevine #grapevinetx #irishmom #mexicangirl🇲🇽

After a rough day of trying to cast my vote at a polling place so fraught with ethical violations a poll inspector had to come in and straighten things out to head off a riot (!) ONLY ONE THING was going to put a smile on my face ...... @quiktrip #coffee #latte #caramel #caramellatte #icedlatte #icedcoffee #icedcoffeeaddict #coffeeaddict #tuesday #spring #2020 #supertuesday #march #voter #momlife #irish #irishmom #myvotecounts #vote #vote2020 #votingmatters #primary #primaryelection #irishgirl #politics

Regardless of the blocks I had to deal with I still voted ~ The only party I’m a registered member of is Sinn Fein as I don’t consider myself a Republican, Democrat, etc as American politics is too complicated ~ Today was just further proof of how broken the system is but you can’t change things if you don’t follow through with action ~ It was mass chaos - the poll workers keep questioning whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat then dividing people up by party but the poll workers keep switching what line you’re supposed to be in and pissing people off. ~ A democrat female voter was denied the ability to vote despite showing TWO proofs that she was registered ~ They were getting Republicans out of there quickly and gave them more computers to vote on - Democrat’s have 4 and Republicans have 8 ~ I was so pissed - they had a teenager working the polls who did nothing but sit there and complain about how she didnt want to be there, she’s not giving people their ballots til they go back and complain to get one and she actually told me I had to wait to vote because her “leg hurt” making her unable to get me assigned to a computer ~ People were walking out and calling government officials about the ridiculousness going on ~ I’ve voted for years and NEVER experienced this level of incompetency @texasdemocrats @thedemocrats @democraticparty @demconvention @housedemocrats #democrat #primaryelection #primary #vote #vote2020 #voter #voting #votingmatters #momlife #irishmom #irishvoice #myvotecounts #texas #tx #2020 #spring #texasprimary @berniesanders @elizabethwarren @joebiden

We had a get together with our extended Mexican and Irish family today and decided to cater with bbq to appeal to both sides It was thrown together last minute due to schedule changes so i was super stressed about trying to find a decent caterer that wasn’t going to bill me more than the national debt lol We received wonderful catering services plus the food was so delicious everyone was raving about how good it was - the meat just melts in your mouth 😍 I have an autistic daughter with a sensory disorder who is SUPER PICKY about her food but even liked it https://jmacbackyardbbq.com #jmac #jmacbbq #bbq #brisket #turkey #slicedbrisket #turkeyleg #smokedturkey #smokedturkeyleg #potatosalad #macandcheese #beans #bakedbeans #pintobeans #march #2020 #sunday #catering #family #dinner #sundaydinner #barbeque #barbequenation #bbqlovers #bbqtime #meat #meatlover
