Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

What is even happening?
Dick Clark's still not dead, and not one person here called him Schroedinger's Dick. It's like I don't even know you people, any more.
-t came closest. I should give you at least partial credit -t, considering you're under a full hormonal assault.
Thanks for the Chris Yays, everyone.
Evil Fluffy Bunny, yes, but developmentally appropriate.
They're going to have a lot of fun with this evil little fluffy bunny, next year.
Yay for Chris! I didn't really doubt it. I think he's so smart he's learned to take advantage of his youngest child status, and he'll suss out the new social order in no time.
I think you're right, Hec. I think part of the reason I questioned if he was developmentally ready, is because Ben and Julia have always been developmentally advanced. Chris is reading and using numbers like a kid two or three years older, but in every other way, he seems so much younger at this age, than they did. But when I look at how far he has come in just two years, it amazes me.
YaY! At this time of year I can't wait for them to be done with it, then about 3 weeks into summer vacation I am ready for school to reopen.
I hate all the running and rushing that the school year brings. I always wonder how teachers who are parents manage to make it to Christmas time, without a nervous breakdown. I prefer vacation times, but since I already have to be rushing around for the older two, it will be nice to have some time again, when I'm the only one home in my house. I feel like I just got a promising letter from the parole board.

Like...a crate of jerky? Is that what you're trying to convey.
Because I've seen you in a vintage 50s cocktail dress and you seemed petite and rather girlish.

I always wonder how teachers who are parents manage to make it to Christmas time, without a nervous breakdown.
My mom used to threaten to. Or she'd make Dad take us on vacation without her. I think it helped that we were late elementary/middle school and a little more autonomous by the time she was teaching school full time.
