Hey, hey, good. Oh, look, we're already messing up. There we go. Hey, everyone. Welcome in tonight to the Alyssa show. Yes, it still says, Dear America. Yes, I still can't figure out how to fix that. Nor do I really care or have the time. But good news is Graham's supposed to come home tomorrow, so maybe he can fix that for me. You know like when you just have a lot of

things going on and it's like you know some things just will have to wait. That's one of them. Anyway, how's everybody's week been? Y'all let me know in the chat how y'all are doing. We're in the middle of summer. Can't believe it. I was like calculating how long we have left until school starts back because I'm dreading it. I love summer vacation. I love being with my babies. I know that

could be controversial because I hear a lot of parents who are like, please get them back in school. I actually enjoy spending time with mine though. So, okay, we have a lot to talk about as always for a once a week show. I am going to start with a story because I find it amusing and comical

and I guess you have to listen if you're tuning in. But as I said, Graham's been in D.C.

I did something I haven't done in a long time. I hired a housekeeper. Only like once a month,

but I'm drowning over here kind of. And so hired a housekeeper this is my funny of the week

she came in and she was mopping she was finishing mopping I had Lolo outside and if you know

having a toddler three teens with a housekeeper is already a challenge we've been out most of a day

come home she's playing in sand and she's literally just mopping, almost done.

And Lolo comes in, and I do not know this, but she is carrying in her hands sand, just a whole thing of sand.

And she comes in, of course, I follow him behind her.

And then she just goes, like, here, here we go.

You're welcome. And she just throws sand like all over the floor and the housekeeper

kind of looked at me and i was like yep this is why we don't have nice things uh and we both just laughed

of course she's three it's funny and you know we're like all right we'll help us clear it up which she did

but uh that's kind of how I feel like the week goes.

If anyone can relate to this, if you are a toddler mom, maybe you have grants who are toddlers, it reminds you of your age real quick. I'm like, yeah, I am an older mom, aren't I? Because she keeps me on my toes. And I love her. She is the best. She's so fun. But I was just like, oops, so sorry.

We'll just mop that right up.

But that's why it's challenging. love her she is the best she's so fun but i was just like oops so sorry we'll just mop that right up

but that's why it's it's challenging to to keep a clean house um okay we do have lots to talk about

like i said we are going to talk about young bored white ladies and how apparently they want

to destroy other people's success yes we're going to go there we're going going to continue to talk about Carmelo trends that are trending. The trans movement, of course, in honor of Pride Week. And how do you talk to your kids about that? Because I think it is important that we not only talk about these things and see them, but how do we respond to our teenagers and to our even children who are seeing these things,
