Chaos Comes in Threes: Blaming the Full Moon

Tanesha (00:05)
Hi, I'm Tanesha

Kiara (00:08)
And I'm Kiara.

Tanesha (00:10)
and you're now entering the sister chat. Welcome to Main Event Mamas.

Kiara (00:17)
Woop woop! And we're back this week. Barely.

We're back this week barely, and so I'm not even gonna lie, y'all. I barely made it in in life today because yesterday there was a lot that happened and so I feel that my spirit is currently lying face down in a puddle somewhere with my actual body running on pure, uncut chaos.

Tanesha (00:32)
Mm.

not a puddle.

Listen, I think we can both agree that this life this week has been such a freaking disaster

Kiara (01:02)
Yes, yes we can immediately say that life this week has been a...

a little crazy and I have questions. Questions for Jesus, I got questions for the sky, I got questions for anyone and everyone who may not have answers. Before we get started.

This is your moment to hit that subscribe button because you want to be the first to hear about the insanity that is currently happening in our lives. Now, typically, this is the moment that I remind you you want to be first to find out about all the new content we have going. But today, it's just to hear the insanity that is our lives. So you want to make sure you hit that subscribe button on whatever platform you're listening on, so whether it is YouTube.

Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, which, you know, I didn't know about that until today. ⁓ Where else, Tanesha? Where else would you hit that follow button?

Amazon Audible and others. That's answer. All right.

Tanesha (02:11)
like, wait,

hold on, I think you said all of them. going, I don't remember. you thought.

Kiara (02:15)
Okay, it's fine. It's fine. Anyway, so today...

Tanesha (02:20)
That just

shows you how this week and even this day has been, well for me anyway.

Kiara (02:25)
I mean, we

are blessed to even just be here at this time, I feel, because it's also a late one. So you know what happens when the mamas get up late and we're talking into microphones when we'd probably be asleep. Or I would anyway, I can't speak for Tanesha here. But I would be comfy in my bed.

Tanesha (02:43)
No, I'd probably sleep or I'll be passenger princess while we working and sleep. I'd be out here working and sleeping. Work and sleep, work and sleep.

Kiara (02:54)
So for everyone listening, if your life like mine jumped the rails yesterday on October 7th, you were right in the middle of the perfect cosmic storm. That's right, today we're unpacking those moments of misfortune. But we're not blaming ourselves because absolutely not. There was nothing here that could have been done.

I mean, there were several things that could have been done, but that's not the point. There were some things that we are not taking responsibility for this week.

Tanesha (03:29)
I better say sometimes just

listening to your gut is the answer, I know.

Kiara (03:34)
Instead, we're blaming the sky. That's right! You heard it here first. We're blaming the literal sky.

Tanesha (03:40)
Peace.

Damn full moon. ⁓

Kiara (03:46)
All

right.

Tanesha (03:49)
Yeah, you harvest things, all right. You harvest.

Kiara (03:50)
So let's start. That's right.

Let's start with the hard evidence, because I'm going to convince you that this is this sky's fault. So whether you believe me or not yet, you will. Don't worry. So literally, three terrible things happened in my life yesterday, to the point where I literally had to tell my boss that the one thing that I wanted to tell him was the least traumatizing thing that had happened yesterday.

So you may wonder how I ended up like this. Now don't worry, there is a finger here. Don't worry, it's still here.

Tanesha (04:26)
I know, looked almost

like I said, that's how I looked like earlier. Where'd the finger go?

Kiara (04:29)
It didn't. It's

still here. Don't worry. My nails are done. That wasn't done this yesterday. So, but no, no, no. It's just because I had to. I'm going to tell you. Just hold that thought. yesterday morning, like any morning, wakes up with an early, early wake up call from my oldest. I'm sorry. My second child, not my oldest. Who goes, hey, I need you to let me into your office. Cool. Thank you for waking me up.

an hour and a half earlier than I normally get up so that I could give you whatever you're looking for in my office. And then proceeds to get whatever she needs and walks away. And I think, ⁓ great, I could take a nap or something until they get ready for school. No, no, Immediately, my number one child comes in and goes, my phone is broken.

No, it's not is what I immediately said. Because... absolutely not. But anyway, later we find out that it will not, what's the word? It will not charge because there is a foreign body somewhere in the USB area. In which he proceeds to ask me for canned air. That's right. Because, fortunately for him, I happen to have some laying around, but what if I didn't?

Then this was after he tried... See, that's the thing. This is after he tried to blow into it himself without telling me. Yeah. Awesome. Awesome. So then I proceeded to take the other 45 minutes of the nap time that I was planning on to fix his phone and get it charging by doing the one thing he couldn't in fact done himself. You want to know what that was?

Tanesha (05:57)
guess you get the blowin'.

Kiara (06:21)
Google because how else do I know how to fix that? I don't I don't know. But anyway so then I fixed that and whoo we are off to the races or so I think. And then they're heading out the door and another calamity happens. The very first. So you've heard the story so far and you haven't even heard the part where it starts the calamity. Well

I go upstairs to lay down and immediately I hear my number one child calling his sister's name. Now, it was an utter annoyance. So at first I was like, ⁓ nothing to worry about. Then he says it again and I was like, ⁓ now I'm getting up because I know she didn't want to go to school today. So let me go make sure she's doing what she wants to do. I mean, what I told her to do. So then I walked down the stairs just as my number one child goes, she collapsed on the floor.

And I'm like, you say that with such calm energy. ⁓ But at this point, she's awake and looking at us. So now this is not the first time this has happened, which is why we're not screaming and panicked and running around with our hair on fire. Because we know she has this thing called vasio-syncope, which I had never heard of in my life until about two to three years ago when she scared the bejesus out of my husband by literally face planting in front of him.

Thank God he caught her. She did not have that same luck with her brother, however, at all.

Tanesha (07:52)
He probably did like this.

Yo, you good?

Kiara (07:56)
You

I just did not catch her.

And then just I'm like, whew. Now inside, this is where the mom in you starts to panic, but you can't show it because you can't scare the children, right? So I'm like, OK, well, looks like you won't be catching that bus. So let's walk you over to the kitchen table so that I can assess your condition.

Tanesha (08:27)
The way you say it is so copy.

Kiara (08:30)
It is at this moment I pull out my blood pressure machine because clearly I'm a medical professional as well. I like to moonlight in my free time. And I take your blood pressure. It's not cool. It's not bad. It's a little low. So I take it again and it's normal. And so I was like, oh, well, you're definitely going to school, right? Because maybe you're dehydrated. Because at this point, I'm also dealing with teenage girl bulls stuff in which they

Do their own thing and stop listening to you. For instance, you should eat dinner. Yeah, I'm good.

What did you eat today? About three things. When's the last time you ate? Somewhere about 15 hours ago.

Why are you doing that? No reason.

So in the middle of this insanity, I'm like, let's make sure this person eats because did you eat this morning? Maybe? Not sure. All right then. So in which I drive everybody to school after stopping at the gas station and feeding my child a liquid IV, which, you know, I will absolutely advertise that at the bottom because it's a lifesaver. Nonetheless, she gets a liquid IV.

I get dressed for the gym because I am clearly up now. And we get off to school. I drop them off and I think, whew, that was the least thing of the day that could possibly happen. Like, it could be great after this. Well, no, no, no, no, no. Then on my way to the gym, I decide to connect with my husband because now, now I can freak out because there's no children here. Now I can literally be like WTF.

Tanesha (10:13)
Yeah.

Kiara (10:19)
A, how did you handle this and you were calm about it when I'm like screaming inside my head? Like the inside of my brain is literally screaming while it's quietly processing what to do next. So all you see is the facade that we put on for our children and not actually the utter terror that happens on the inside. And it is at that point I am freaking out, but I don't think I am. I tell my husband I am fine.

and I go to the store to buy something. Then for whatever reason it breaks so I have to return it all in the same 15 minutes or so.

Tanesha (10:57)
wow, mm-hmm, that's a lot.

Kiara (10:59)
Then

I buy another thing because it's the same thing I needed to get. And I decide to open it because duh. I mean, duh. That's easy. And then I get the bright idea to use a pocket knife that I just keep in my car because, you know, I like to have sharp objects in case I got to cut a bitch.

Tanesha (11:06)
Duh.

You know, I like that. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Never know, we got to shank you.

Kiara (11:23)
I know I seem

like the really nice one, but I'm just saying you never know. You never know. So I use the sharp object and immediately start to think that's a little stupid. But I'm also still processing the morning and maybe feeling a little aggressive about the feelings I'm dealing with. And so it is that point where I realize I fucked up, right? And I stab myself in the hand, in which...

Tanesha (11:47)
Mmm.

Kiara (11:52)
I definitely watched the blood spray out, like, in the white meat.

Tanesha (11:56)
Like the

horror movies where it's like.

Mm.

Kiara (12:00)
Yeah.

didn't yell. I was too busy being like, are you serious? Are you serious? I am by the way, outside the gym parking lot. So like, I could have just been inside.

Tanesha (12:13)
Never went inside, did you ever go

inside? Never.

Kiara (12:17)
No.

Never made it inside. It was at that point I had to realize that I needed to drive to the urgent care because now I clearly needed stitches. And so I did. I went to drive to the urgent care. All while I was on the phone with you and my husband interchangeably talking about how stupid this was, freaking out about the morning in general, and then trying not to have a panic attack all at the same time.

So I go get it stitched up and in the middle, right before the stitches get put in, I get another phone call. Can you guess from where?

Tanesha (12:56)
Big girl child.

Kiara (12:59)
That's right, the girl child calls me. You wanna know why?

Tanesha (13:03)
Let's think. It happened again.

Kiara (13:08)
That's right! And she collapsed in the middle of her classroom. That's right. Ding, ding, ding! Circle gets a square.

And so she collapsed in her glass again. And this time, no one caught her again. That's the other part. No one did that. No one caught her again. But she is so calm on this phone, such as...definitely happened again.

Tanesha (13:24)
They looked at it like, ⁓

Kiara (13:36)
I was like, what happened again exactly? I woke up on the floor.

Cool, cool, cool.

Tanesha (13:45)
I'm sorry, but it's a delivery. Yes, but it's delivery how you're saying it.

Kiara (13:48)
I mean, it is now, looking back at this.

Because

it's incredulous, if that makes sense. I'm gonna use the S-I-T word. Like, it just was a moment in time. Incredulous, yes. Yes. It means like, you're in like, it's almost too good to be true, almost too incredible to, you're just like, this can't possibly be happening. Yeah, so yeah. You know, it's almost like you feel like you're in a movie or you're being punked because this can't be real life.

Tanesha (13:59)
Yep. Increveless, that's what you said? Increv- Increjit-less. I have to like, throw that. Mm-hmm. Okay.

Mmm, okay.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (14:24)
that incredulous. Not gonna use it in a sentence but you get the gist. I think I just did. The point was...

Tanesha (14:29)
I think you

Got it.

Kiara (14:33)
It is at this point that I call my husband, who in the middle of this talked about some crappy thing happening in his day that I, yeah. It was crappy, but it definitely wasn't as crappy as the other stuff that happened that day. And so it was at that point I was just like, you need to go get your girl child from school because I am, as you know, still here in the urgent care getting stitched up.

And when that was over.

I prayed on my way to the grocery store because I was like, I don't know what's out to get me today. You know what I mean? Like, clearly it felt like there was some kind of energy that was just trying to bring all the negativity my way. And I couldn't understand it. And so, you know, I just prayed my way to the grocery store, picked up some food, promptly went home where everybody was. We picked up everyone from school because at this point we should have cashed in the day. Yeah.

Tanesha (15:20)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (15:36)
We should just cash it into the game. Like, no more, no nothing. It's just too much. And we had a nice quiet evening at the house. wait, no, we did go grocery shopping later. But I got to thinking, Tanesha.

Tanesha (15:49)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (15:52)
Something caused this. You know what I mean? Something is at fault for all the terrible shit happening in one day. Like, it cannot possibly just be nothing. But again, I can't have been the only one who had a crazy day. What about you, Tanesha? How was your day yesterday?

Tanesha (16:14)
Well, let's see, let's think about it. I'm gonna say I didn't have such a crazy day as you did, but it definitely, I mean, I will say that I was extra philosophical on points that I would never actually be extra philosophical on. ⁓ And then,

Kiara (16:24)
I mean, who does really, right?

Mm.

Tanesha (16:40)
Today I could just say I don't know if the moon is still full but for the last two days I have just been extra Philosophical just you know trying to give yeah Just been real deep and just been trying to give out as much as good information as I can to help Anyone who needs some good deep talking to including myself Because me myself had definitely had some good deep conversations these last two days, too

Kiara (16:50)
It's just a deep.

Tanesha (17:09)
to the point where I'm like, mm, okay, we're really on self-reflection right now? Like, that's what we're doing right now, self-reflection in this moment. You think it's now the time to do self-reflection? Yeah, it is. anytime is good. ⁓ Yeah, like, no, I didn't have any, yeah, like I said, nothing that, even if I had anything negative, it doesn't trump what you had experienced yesterday.

Kiara (17:10)
Mm.

Immediately. Like, yeah, right now. Anytime's good.

it doesn't need to trump it. Like, I'm not trying to wish any negativity on you, I'm just asking.

Tanesha (17:40)
I mean...

⁓ no, no, no, I'm

just saying, but I mean, I think whatever my negative stuff is, I think it's normally every day, because I always battle with myself every day, negatively.

Kiara (17:58)
well.

Tanesha (17:58)
So yesterday,

I tried not to.

Kiara (18:01)
That's good though.

Tanesha (18:02)
So

that was self-reflection and yeah. Today though, once the moon, guess is over, today, whatever over-simulation that was going to happen, happened today where we almost didn't make it on here today.

Kiara (18:05)
Yeah. And positive, like that's positive energy.

That's

right. We almost didn't. And so see, I did some research because I knew I can't be crazy. This cannot be crazy because bad things can happen, but they I don't really feel like it just rains and pours. Like it feels like there's a break, an umbrella or something in between. But I know that's not always the case because I've definitely had I've heard bad things happen in Greece. Right. So I feel like at this point, shock that off. We should be good to go.

Tanesha (18:36)
Mmm.

They do.

Kiara (18:48)
But again, it got me thinking.

Tanesha (18:48)
But wait,

oh wait, I'm about to say what was your third? And then I just realized, okay, yeah.

Kiara (18:55)
Yeah, same one and three are the same. They just happen to the same person in different locations.

Yeah, so.

Tanesha (19:02)
Yep.

Kiara (19:06)
I know we're not saying it's like a superstitious type of thing, but like, I want to call it what they called in the 18th century. Cause you know, my research, they, the 18th century lawyers called it lunacy.

Tanesha (19:16)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (19:23)
I know, the word literally means moon struck.

Tanesha (19:28)
I mean, well, you know.

I mean, I can tell you for sure in, it does make sense because it.

Kiara (19:38)
I mean, it was a full moon. That is true.

Tanesha (19:39)
I mean,

and I do know like working in Vet Med, we see a lot of crazy stuff when the full moon, and they do come in threes, like death comes in threes, bad luck comes in threes, or misfortune comes in threes. And don't add the moon to it, cause then you add that to it, then everything is a little out of sync, a little thing out of sync, and you'd be looking like, ⁓

Kiara (20:03)
Everything's a possibility. That's right.

Tanesha (20:09)
Since when?

Kiara (20:09)
Yeah, that's

how I felt. That's how I felt. What the f- That's what I wanted to say. But-

Apparently, it's something about the full moon hitting in the sign of Aries that is like the universe plays a prank on our sanity. First time I've ever heard this, by the way. It's also called the famous Transylvania Effect. And that's the idea. I know, right? I never heard about this either. That's the idea that the moon's light drives people to madness. We're not talking werewolves. ⁓

Tanesha (20:17)
Mm-hmm.

Mm.

I never heard that.

I about

to say, wait, you talking about like that Teen Wolf thing? Like when they were turning into a wolf or the zombie? Okay.

Kiara (20:51)
No, we're not talking

about Teen Wolf, we're not talking about Twilight, we're not talking about... No. The real issue is when a full moon makes your entire schedule and emotional state go off the rails. It's what police, nurses, and 911 dispatchers called a code lunacy shift.

Tanesha (20:54)
Zombies nothing okay got it

Sorry. You hear that? I'm like, wait, that sounds like, that's intense. See, the full moon must be happening, cause I don't know what that is. I don't know, cause that sounded crucial. That sounded, that's from the window. That's crazy. And I'm far away from the window. Anyway, go ahead.

Kiara (21:15)
⁓ what's that look?

Is it still a full moon? I don't know. I don't know.

Tanesha (21:38)
But that's the effect that we're talking about, because something's happening.

Kiara (21:38)
So, back to what I was saying. Yes.

So it was a full moon in Aries, which is apparently a very volatile combination, according to my research. And then, apparently, if that's not one way to look at it, there's another combination of astrological things that throw, that throw some bows in your life. You know, we're calling this the cosmic conspiracy today.

Tanesha (21:50)
Follow it.

Mmm.

Kiara (22:07)
Yeah, I know. Today is a teaching lesson. I've never heard about any of this before in my life. I think this is the episode for my mom. She'll probably get a kick out of this. Because the research I had to do, because this is the sky's fault, as I said. I want to remind you all.

This is not something that I'm taking responsibility for. That's right. So apparently, the first problem is there's a clash between Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, and Pluto, the planet of power, secrets, and the underworld. It's also known as the Illuminati Transit.

Tanesha (22:27)
That damn full moon.

Mm.

Mm.

I don't

Kiara (22:51)
I know, right? I said the same thing.

And Pluto is the lord of the shadows. So when it gets into a tense square with Mercury, the goal is to unearth secrets and stir up paranoia. Does that sound a little familiar to you about this overthinking situation that was happening yesterday?

Tanesha (23:10)
I I guess so, yeah. A little bit.

Kiara (23:14)
little bit.

See, this is the moment you become convinced there is a man behind the curtain orchestrating your misery.

Tanesha (23:23)
You know what though? The paranoia, did have paranoia, why can't I say it now? I just said it, I said it five seconds ago. Paranoia, wow, whatever. I had that two days, a day prior to the first, to the full moon. And then that's what caused me to have self-reflection. We having two days, cause I was like, girl, this is too much happening. What's going on? Get your life together. Why? I this. ⁓ geez.

Kiara (23:29)
Paranoia, I don't know, I struggle too.

I do remember having saying something about that. So that's like, so anyway, that particular, yeah, so that transit turns like simple conversations into what feels like high-stake interrogations, right? Because your mind starts to be suspicious of things. Which I'm like, that's crazy. Now let's talk about the full moon itself in Aries because there's more to this.

Tanesha (23:58)
So that makes sense now.

Okay.

Kiara (24:21)
So, folklore wise, y'all bear with me, because this took me a minute to research. I was like, I learned a lot this week. The ancient Greeks and Romans literally believed in the angry brain juice theory. There's a lot of theories this week. They thought the moon's pull affected the fluid in our bodies, causing brain moisture to increase and leading to temporary madness and epileptic fits. They wrote it in their legal codes. And that Aries fire

takes that madness and turns it into rash action. That's why you weren't just angry, you're impatient, impulsive, ready to quit your job or fight someone over a parking space. So, it gives you the courage to act, but sometimes it's stupid. You're just doing stupid things, in fact. That sounds a little familiar to me because I definitely knew better than to open anything.

Tanesha (24:57)
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Kiara (25:19)
with the rusty ass pocket knife in my car. Anyway. And then, huh?

Tanesha (25:24)
Did they give you a Tetris slot too? Did they

give you a Tetris? Tetris. Texas.

Kiara (25:30)
tetanus.

So coincidentally, this is other another fun fact for the people listening. Another interesting part is actually you only need to update your tetanus shot every five years if you have an incident like this. But generally it's every 10 years otherwise, right? So funny enough, I had in fact already gotten a tetanus shot about three years ago. Just because.

Tanesha (25:33)
You had one already.

Right.

Okay, well then.

Kiara (26:03)
Yep, and I definitely asked the medical professional because she was going to give me another one. And I was like, I had to go research medical records from like a whole different state to confirm that I in fact had my tetanus shot in 2022. Yeah, yeah, the things you learn. All right, now let's talk about this Saturn retrograde with another piece of the puzzle, right? I was like, we done been through some things already. So Saturn is a planet.

of rules, deadlines, and structure. It's basically like an HR manager, which I'm like, that's crazy. Anyway, when it's in retrograde, the universe is intentionally delaying anything important. It's called, it's like a bureaucracy curse, if you think about it. It's kind of like, hold. That's why like your money would be frozen or your printer doesn't want to work, something like that.

Tanesha (26:54)
Mmm.

⁓ okay.

Kiara (26:58)
So Saturn basically is enforcing a mandatory universal timeout. Yeah, yeah, crazy, right? Yes. So any project that was almost done, any payment that was almost processed, Saturn's like, hold up. Go back and check the fine print. They said hold, hold. So this again.

Tanesha (27:03)
⁓ not a time out, okay.

What if you need the money? That's kind of-

Hmm.

Kiara (27:28)
leads me to feel really confident in the choice that this is not me. This was literally the sun, the moon, and the stars causing all this chaos in my life. Because it also gave me that sense, like, I feel like I've gone through all of these things, right? There was some impulse of decisions. There was some overthinking on your side. There's definitely some time out that needed to occur because, like I said, we came home and just gave up on life. All of us went to take a nap.

including the dog and the cat. Like it's just over. Everybody was like, nope, let's just rewind to pretend this day did not happen.

Tanesha (28:03)
Like, Groundhog Day. No, no, no. Yeah, no, no. I'm like, wait, no, it's not Groundhog Day, because we don't want it to do it again.

Kiara (28:05)
That's right. Except, no, I'm not doing this again.

Yeah,

almost in a sense of like the day starts over but not it actually doesn't start over. So that's why it's not, you So all right. Granted. The truth is it's really hard to determine if this is true or not. But this is I feel like I gave you a good scientific case. Like, are you feeling what I do? You see where I'm going with this?

Tanesha (28:32)
You did.

feel like I do, think, you know, it's a little crazy, but I understand.

Kiara (28:42)
I mean, I feel like there's a bit of a scientific approach here. But I get it, you know? It's a little anecdotal. So it's hard to say this is absolutely the truth, right? But.

Tanesha (28:48)
Mm-hmm.

I I like the fact

that I think too as people, we like to blame others than ourselves. Accountability, we take accountability when we feel like it. And granted, I'm not saying yesterday was your fault. No, absolutely not. But I would say maybe my paranoia was my fault.

Kiara (29:03)
Mm-hmm. That's right.

Tanesha (29:24)
But I will, I just said I will definitely blame, influenced it. I think they did for sure.

Kiara (29:25)
wasn't it? Or did the stars potentially up the ante a bit?

I'm saying, mmm, did it. So anyway, I feel like maybe that is not technically the most evidence. But here's another piece of evidence to prove that the full moon F's with you. Over 40 % of all medical staff and 81 % of mental health workers will tell you that the days around the full moon, days, let's count that, around the full moon bring more bizarre.

Tanesha (29:44)
Mm-hmm.

Cheers.

Kiara (30:04)
aggressive and straight up chaotic patients. The data may say no, but the people living this life say yes. So who are we to argue with the professionals?

Tanesha (30:13)
Mm-hmm.

I I feel you, like I said, you know, working in vet med, we definitely, we will be like, yo, it's the full moon, like why everybody, why everybody coming here doing super stuff or, you know, why we got like five surgeries all of a sudden at 10 o'clock at night? Like what, what were y'all doing that this is what happens? And not intended is because it's a full moon, because something's happening or whatever, or it's about to happen, especially right before the full moon, you sometimes, you see, we see increases of ER cases and you just be like,

Kiara (30:37)
Yeah, I've, yeah.

Tanesha (30:49)
Why? What happened? Like, granted, yes, we appreciate you for keeping us a job, but...

What happened? Why, why? Why, why? And then it leaves and then it dies down, especially during certain things. But definitely, we definitely believe in that full moon does a number and brings the crazies out, brings the unsettling out. Well, it is. mean, listen, like you said, ⁓

Kiara (31:16)
They're crazy.

Tanesha (31:22)
this particular retrograde or the moon is talking about us doing things that ⁓ impulsively. And sometimes your crazy comes out impulsively. The things you are able to hide in and keep together then it comes out you be like, hmm. It was a choice, you know, but was it really? Because you've been suppressing it so long. But even like, even I think too, even just talking about crazy, I saw a lot of

Kiara (31:38)
That was a choice.

that. That what you just said.

Tanesha (31:52)
people, homeless people, just walking in the street randomly, you'd be like, you wanna die? What's happening? What's going on? You know what, I did not tell you that. So yes, for the last couple of days they came, like even like today I had some random person walking in the middle of the street and like bent over and you look at them like, you realize I'm coming, right? Like why? And then they kind of backed out last minute. It's like, were you trying to die?

Kiara (31:59)
Jesus, what?

Tanesha (32:21)
and then the bus almost ran me over too. And it was just like, why are you, that was yesterday. Well, what's happening? Why did you need to get in front of me when you have a whole lane? Listen.

Kiara (32:31)
tell you, I definitely felt like I needed to be, like I was on the movie Final Destination. I was like, I need to be looking at everything. Like I was super paranoid after all of the things that happened. So that I think, again, not saying it's necessarily true, just saying the evidence.

Tanesha (32:39)
⁓

But that makes sense. But that makes sense though. But

it makes sense though, because you had a lot of things happen yesterday. So that would make sense to be paranoid after that.

Kiara (33:00)
Just so y'all know, I absolutely start my day with a prayer, okay? I pray over everyone and everything in my house every morning. So like for real, this was some second nature nonsense. Like what, I really had questions, thoughts and concerns as why I ended up doing this research.

Tanesha (33:19)
That you did. That

you did.

Kiara (33:23)
I did. So I feel like the first step in dealing with this is acknowledging that, you know, something might have been amiss. You know what mean? I'm...

Tanesha (33:34)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (33:36)
I feel like if bad things comes in threes, then I've already done this already. You know what mean? I feel like we are at the end of the crazy ass cycle. Because all of that happened the same day. Okay? So I feel like it's completed and therefore perhaps something good will happen for the rest of them.

Tanesha (33:49)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (34:01)
At least that's what I'm hoping.

Tanesha (34:03)
But I mean, yes, it will. That is over. Hopefully the full moon has now, it's starting to subside. ⁓ Or it's not really a full moon right now. Or whatever this harvest moon was, it's no longer a harvest moon. Know what it was? Because it was also a super moon. It was a super moon. So it wasn't even like a regular, yes.

Kiara (34:21)
Perhaps.

So it was extra lunar energy. See?

Listen. So I'm gonna choose to believe that that last mishap ended it all. And therefore, I can expect the rest of October to be full of joyous, happy circumstances.

anyway.

Tanesha (34:46)
Yeah.

Kiara (34:47)
So I think it's important to take some lessons from this. You know what I mean? Now I know you might be thinking, the obvious lesson is probably don't fuck with sharp objects when you're trying to open something.

Tanesha (34:56)
Or when

you're stressed the fuck out

Kiara (34:59)
That.

Perhaps argue with your teenager prior to them passing out on the floor to correct their diet. Even though...

Tanesha (35:12)
think that would have helped in this situation. Because then somehow she would have probably like, you stress me out, mom.

Kiara (35:16)
man.

Tanesha (35:21)
I love you niecey poo but I'm just saying because these girls man how are we one? I just don't understand how are we one?

Kiara (35:28)
Peace, girl children.

No.

Are we one, what, a female, a girl?

Tanesha (35:34)
Yes, because...

You know what?

Kiara (35:39)
You're saying you don't remember doing this as a child?

Tanesha (35:42)
I

don't, but I'm not saying that it's not impossible, because if I asked my mom, my mom probably would tell me something. But it's just like, whatever our girl children, we really be testing our gangsters. And then we be sitting here looking at them like, what? And then clearly on Instagram, when I was week strolling and looking, we not the only ones. There's people like, why they got attitude? I don't know.

Kiara (36:11)
It is comforting to know that we're not the only ones. I always feel like compelled to tell other parents like...

like them while you can because there's some days you want to push them off, you know, the nearest cliff like they are on a cartoon and you just pray that they're okay at the end.

Tanesha (36:26)
Well, like I said, I'ma throw you across the street.

or in the garbage you go. In the garbage!

Kiara (36:36)
did tell them that one day. was like, I'm throwing up both in the trash. I was like, I've had enough. Like I like to tell my husband I'm putting in my notice. I am no longer interested in this position.

Tanesha (36:37)
Are you tough?

Oh, I did that too. So that's the other thing too. I

think I definitely did that to me yesterday. So this is how I know it had to be. Because I finally was just like, mom had enough. I've had enough. And I quit being your mom. And they looked at me like, I was like, yeah, nah. And then I had one kid go, well, how long you going to quit, Well, one, I'm not mom. Two, a week. No.

Kiara (37:12)
You're not mine

now?

Tanesha (37:13)
Nope,

I quit. Like it was in general. Like I just quit. So you just need to be calling me miss or ma'am like over there. Like, can you help me? Like, and I said a week and it was like, Oh, well then who's going to take over? I don't know. Figure it out homies. Cause you know, I've done everybody else's chore for the rest of this week, but no one could do the dishes for me. Like it was my chore. No one could, but I've done it every day for y'all. This is why I quit.

Kiara (37:20)
you

I get it. And I respect it, to be honest. Because... yeah.

Tanesha (37:47)
to the point where the girl child sat here and told people

that I quit, be their mom. I was like, wow. And I said, you're right, I did. Absolutely, I did. And they were just like, ⁓ I said, And then, you know, she got voted off the island. So she definitely sat here and was like, they kicked me out. So I can't come home. Girl, if you don't bring your butt into this house, I'ma hurt you.

Kiara (37:53)
What'd you say? Yeah?

Mm.

They kicked you off the island? I mean, are we on Animal Farm? Do you remember that book? Like, what happened? How you get kicked off the farm? What's going on? They were on Survivor? Like, tell me how they got voted off.

Tanesha (38:13)
They kicked off finally. Listen. ⁓

They did, they had to. Yeah,

they all voted who was gonna be the leader since I wasn't mom anymore. And no one wanted her to be the leader. But then they voted her off because she was like, I'm about to listen to y'all. So she got voted off and told to get out. And then of course the youngest, got his feelings. Fine, I'll leave. No one wants me. Boy, shush. No one said that. And you don't wanna be mommy anymore? ⁓ my God. Kit, Kit.

I didn't go nowhere, I'm still here, I'm just, I'm just.

Fine, I'm on. Leave me alone.

Kiara (39:02)
Okay, so here's the thing. Yeah. Yes.

Tanesha (39:04)
So clearly, even though I was being philosophical,

something clearly was affecting me yesterday where I was just like, I quit, fuck y'all. It's like the book, The Day the Crayons Quit. That was, yes. So I said, I know, and I said, The Day Mom Quit. Y'all go ahead and write that book, write that story out. The Day Mom Quit, what happened?

Kiara (39:17)
I like that book.

You know, I try to quit and they refuse to accept my resignation. I'm pretty sure I told my husband I quit and he was just like, yeah, no, I'm sorry. I no longer accept your resignation. In fact, don't even hear you. Like, I was like, that's crazy. That's crazy work. And my children don't care. They just sat in my office until I kicked them out because they're bigger than me. So what was I supposed to do?

Tanesha (39:53)
Chop them down at their knees to make them short.

Kiara (39:57)
But why are you like this? Violence is not always the answer. Well, fortunately, they're they're usually terrified and therefore that works because as soon as I'm quiet, they're like, God, they go run to their father. They're like, something's wrong with the mom. So but no, they they just refuse to accept any resignation at all. I try to quit at least once a week these days, and they just don't care.

Tanesha (40:03)
That's what I'm gonna do with mine. What? Bring yourself down. Come down there. Pop Chop.

Kiara (40:27)
But you know what I did learn? I refuse to cook at least, I only cook three days a week. My husband cooks three days a week. And one day a week we're on sabbatical. I was like, I don't know. It's scavenge for yourself night. Which, I ain't gonna lie, ever since I instituted that policy, Thursdays are A, firstly, my favorite day of the week. And B, even though I like to cook, you know this.

Tanesha (40:33)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (40:55)
But at this particular time, when I can't quite do it the way that I would normally do it, then, you know, today is the last day I have to cook. But you know what I did do? Because regardless of me quitting, now I don't trust them to eat dinner because, you know, teenagers. I bought dino nuggets.

Tanesha (41:18)
You know, Dino Nuggets is nothing wrong with those, man. Pop them in the air fryer, about five, 10 minutes.

Kiara (41:22)
I did. I was like...

There's some french fries. You know what mean? They know how to use the air fryer. And the... there's two. There's two options. We got the big one. We got the one that's like an oven.

Tanesha (41:26)
Hey, there you go. Self-efficient.

Kiara (41:37)
My husband was like, he refuses to eat Donald Nuggets. I don't know what's wrong with that,

Tanesha (41:41)
Stay good, he missin' Missin' out.

Kiara (41:43)
I was like, who doesn't love dinosaur nuggets? I mean, out there, seriously, I want this in the comments. Like, I need to know who doesn't like dino nuggets and what's wrong with you. Who hurt you? Because, I mean, anything dinosaur related is enjoyable to me.

Tanesha (41:59)
I think

nuggets shouldn't be one shape. They should be multiple shapes. I'm happy that even Burger King brought back their crown shape. They taste good. I'm just like, oh, well, you know, I'm just saying. But this is what it shows how.

Nothing happened yesterday was your fault.

Kiara (42:17)
Amen. So you like my argument here.

Tanesha (42:18)
Me quitting yesterday. Yes, me

quitting yesterday. It makes sense why I quit on top of me being philosophical. Mm-hmm. Just trying to teach a lesson. Mm. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (42:26)
That's right. There we go.

So I think the mission at work was here. was figuring out how to channel that chaos, right? And now that I know this information, there's some things that I could have done a little differently, like channeling the impulse of energy for good, such as potentially looking at things that need to be changed, planning for the future.

Tanesha (42:35)
Mm-hmm.

Ow, ow.

Mmm.

Kiara (42:55)
says apparently I needed not to actually do much yesterday. So I definitely could have just sat at home. And funny enough, myself, my husband, and at least one of my children, we thought about staying home yesterday before anything happened at all. But I was like.

Tanesha (43:15)
That was that gut. That gut was trying

to tell you, ⁓ nah, you need to stay.

Kiara (43:20)
Yeah, but I tried to push through because you know, I don't know because we're Americans and we work too much. I don't know.

Tanesha (43:23)
As adults, that's what we do.

Not you saying we Americans

and we work too much. No, how about it's just an adult. Maybe it's just as an adult, you, we are forced as adults, as parents, and as adults who take care of their responsibilities, we push ourselves through things that we like, well, I should take a day off. I don't feel like doing this right now. And then we're like, nah, but that building will get paid by itself. You need to, ⁓

Kiara (43:29)
We do.

Yeah,

that's

Tanesha (43:56)
So that's what I'm gonna say. I think it's that. Yeah, granted, definitely the impulses and we shoulda, you we do need to pay attention to our bodies, our minds, and our ⁓ thought process. If we feel like we shouldn't be doing something, nine out of 10, you shouldn't do it.

Kiara (44:18)
Agreed. A lesson to be learned for sure as I also thought about what I was doing as probably dumb about 15 seconds before I cut myself. But it didn't register quickly enough. Clearly.

Tanesha (44:30)
It was that impulse,

that impulse that the retrograde was holding.

Kiara (44:34)
That's right. So you see I have proved the case of the lunacy. Right? So out there.

Tanesha (44:36)
Mm-hmm.

You dead, you dead. I'm with you.

Kiara (44:46)
Prepare for the next full moon accordingly. We want to invite you to share your lunacy stories with us as well. Perhaps you did not nearly mutilate yourself the way that I did. Or watch your child collapse in front of you, traumatizing the entire household because, you know, and by the way, she's okay, people. I mean, she's okay.

But I'm just saying, like, perhaps you have not gone through that. But maybe you had your own what the story from the full moon. And we want to hear it. Because.

Tanesha (45:20)
Mm-hmm.

Just like those people that

had the accent praying that everybody is good, but that's a whole... They had their what the fuck?

Kiara (45:29)
You're right.

Yeah, there definitely was a huge accident here yesterday. Funny enough, again, this is why I felt like it was like final destination at first. And I was like, I don't like the way that ends. Because my husband was calling me on his way when I was driving to the gym. He called me to tell me about an accident and to warn me to stay off a particular road. He was like, there's this huge accident and they're pulling people from ditches. And I was like, sweet Jesus, that's horrible.

Tanesha (45:42)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (46:03)
did my little prayer for everybody there. And then that same accident ended up coming up later that day when I was talking to the nurse in the urgent care. And she goes, yeah, because there was definitely this accident. And I was like, on this street? And she goes, yep, the same street. And I was like, two people are telling me about this. So I'm going to go home after this because I don't need another reminder.

Tanesha (46:10)
Mm-hmm.

Don't, don't need to pass go,

just go straight, straight home. Yeah.

Kiara (46:33)
But I will tell you,

my son did the smartest thing out of all of us yesterday and got off scot-free. I didn't even tell you this yet. So he's supposed to take out the trash, right? So he tells me, he goes, Mom. He comes in here at like after midnight because I'm just not sleeping. Just did not happen yesterday. So he comes in here after midnight and he goes, Mom, I'm going to have to take a rain check on taking the trash out.

Tanesha (46:38)
What was that?

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (47:03)
And I was like, sup with that. What do you mean? He goes, I went out to do it and I heard this rattling sound. He goes, and then further, it felt like it was coming towards me. So I decided to promptly turn around and close the door.

Tanesha (47:20)
You know what,

that's smart.

Kiara (47:23)
So, shout out to my boy child, the only one of us.

Tanesha (47:26)
He made sure in the

Harvard film he wasn't going to be the first one to die. I hear you, I get that one right there. Clap, clap, clap.

Kiara (47:34)
And he immediately comes in and is like, are you proud of me? I said, amazingly, I am very, very proud of you for being the only one of us who escaped the insanity of this lunacy situation. Because he was like, nope, I just promptly turned around and came back inside. And I thought, I raised him right. I him right. I didn't listen, but one of us learned the lesson.

Tanesha (47:45)
Peace!

Kiara (48:04)
One of us did, clearly.

Tanesha (48:07)
you doing? Listen, okay. Yep.

Kiara (48:10)
So.

Tanesha (48:13)
wow, that is a lot. That was a lot going on, so we definitely want to hear if you guys had any stories or anything in those comments. Let us know. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (48:14)

Tanesha (50:46)
What's up, Apollo?

Kiara (50:57)
What did I say y'all? I don't think he trusts me to be around Sharp objects at this time, so he's like, mm, need to make sure you're all well. So, that's crazy.

Tanesha (51:01)
Mm-mm. ⁓

But what can they do on that website one more time?
