This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hmph, new baby and a toddler, like that's an excuse.
Absolutely. If only she had bought a house or something, then maybe. Just maybe.

At least this time around nobody is dying.
I think I need a year or two off from the Hectic Life Changes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you mind if I adopt this for wider use? As in, "I have to get up in the middle of the fucking night to test the new blahblah before it goes live. But at least there's a low likelihood that I'll receive an episiotomy in the process."
It puts things in perspective. "Fuck! A $300 ticket! Oh well, at least the odds of having an episiotomy while paying it off are low."

Now would be a good year to sit in a lawn chair, water the children and watch them grow.

Oh, but he LIKEs getting shot. Besides, he's the dopey one. And I don't really have to stick around for the hubub. I just will have to deal with all the whiners distressed customers tomorrow morning.

Tom, you totally can do it. Think how far you already have come. Robin and ita are both right on in my experience (at least about this piece). The learning how part is usually so uncomfortable, but worthwhile.

Okay, mama is off to take care of the baby, who just woke from his nap. Hungry, I presume.
