It was an indoor bash due to the weather, which prompted the mom of four to have a new pink carpet installed on the bottom level of her home to match the theme of the celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lrg9UTplwmI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen title=\"3 years ago (c) by youtube.com\" style=\"float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;\"><\/iframe>PHOENIX (AP) &#8211; The Arizona Department of Education launched a hotline this week for people to report classroom lessons that use critical race theory or emotional support curriculum, concepts that have been the target of conservative outrage in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Rhaenys and  online geometry tutors her enormous dragon approach them. She could burn them alive, and teases doing so by making Meleys let off a huge roar. Everyone runs out of the Dragon Pit, except for the king and his gang &#8212; including the queen, the hand and Ser Criston.<\/p>\n<p>This effort &#8220;continues to politicize and disrespect educators and their profession and the relationships that they have with their families,&#8221; said Arizona Education Association president Marisol Garcia.<\/p>\n<p>Critical race theory &#8211; a way of thinking about America\u00b4s history through the lens of racism &#8211; is not taught in state schools but it&#8217;s a hot-button issue for social conservatives who view the concept as an effort to convince white people that they are inherently racist and should feel guilty because of their advantages.<\/p>\n<p>Larys says he has even worse news, but stalls for a moment. To stop the espionage, they need to take out the Queen Bee, something he&#8217;s capable of if the queen wishes it. Alicent sighs, removes her stockings and puts her now bare feet on the table. Larys continues, explaining that Alicent&#8217;s lady in waiting is one of the spies &#8212; and that there are more like her.<\/p>\n<p>She pushes Aegon for king, as she believes Viserys to have wanted, but her resolve to safeguard the princess in the process is admirable. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s unlikely to end well. After being pushed around the chessboard, as she put it, she&#8217;s playing a more active role in shaping events. Alicent has shown honor. It&#8217;s easy to see Alicent&#8217;s attempts at civility to be spat back at her by Rhaenyra and Daemon who, rightfully, will feel burned by the whole &#8220;Aegon is the new king&#8221; thing.<\/p>\n<p>All that&#8217;s left to do is inform Aegon about his new duty. But there&#8217;s a problem: No one can find Aegon. The queen, Hightower says, cannot know. Otto Hightower orders Erryk to go into King&#8217;s Landing and find Aegon, and make sure the prince is brought to Hightower and Hightower alone. Aegon isn&#8217;t in his chambers, and Ser Erryk, the Kingsguard knight sworn to protect him, doesn&#8217;t know where he is either.<\/p>\n<p>The queen and the hand While at the children&#8217;s fight pit, Ser Erryk and his brother are approached by a mysterious woman who says she knows where Aegon is. That woman takes the brothers, and Otto Hightower, to her master: Mysaria.<\/p>\n<p>The City Watch are meant to protect the children, she argues, but they&#8217;re too easily bribed into ignoring the children&#8217;s plight. Hightower mouths a somewhat empty-sounding platitude about looking into it. She promises to take them to Aegon if Hightower promises children will stop being used for entertainment in King&#8217;s Landing.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Viserys got to be the star, giving an impassioned speech that stole the show. In episode 9, it was finally Alicent Hightower&#8217;s time to shine. Major takeaways House of the Dragon has really hit its stride.<\/p>\n<p>Ser Erryk and his brother &#8212; whose name, in all seriousness, is Arryk &#8212; go into a fighting den the prince is known to frequent. &#8220;One of many&#8221; of Aegon&#8217;s bastards, Ser Erryk says. The prince spends many a night betting on fights, Ser Erryk says. Nodding to a small, silver-haired boy, he says Aegon gets up to much worse. It&#8217;s like a cockfighting ring, except instead of roosters fighting it&#8217;s peasant children.<\/p>\n<p>A sword fight ensues, with Ser Criston besting Arryk. Erryk watches on, mysteriously not coming to his brother&#8217;s aid before retreating. Aegon himself tries to run away, yelling that he&#8217;s not cut out to be king, but Aemond chases him down.<\/p>\n<p>Have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne?&#8221; Your father, your husband, your son. Rhaenys turns it back on Alicent. &#8220;You are wiser than I believed you to be \u2026 and yet you toil still in service to men. You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions relating to where and ways to make use of <a href=\"https:\/\/Www.Instagram.com\/stories\/direct\/3133986226369100632_184998056\">Kid on the Yards<\/a>, you can contact us at our website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s just one of those things&#8230;you can&#8217;t let your kids take over your life,&#8217; she said.\u00a0 &#8216;Eric and I will just go walk in the neighborhood and talk through things and we end up coming back super-inspired.
