Wow, Erin, that sounds like a dream job. It goes without saying that you rock, but I'm really glad that they caught on so quickly.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, Erin!

Congratulations to Lyra too. Excellent good news.

My mom decided to make me a calendar one year, with photos on each month. Took her so long to get around to it that she had them make an April - March calendar instead of Jan - Dec.

Just as you shouldn't let your parents force you to do a PhD, you shouldn't let them prevent you from doing one, if you want it. Otherwise they're still controlling you.
ita is wise.
Never close a door just because there's a possible "I told you so" on the other side. However, in the event that the "I told you so" greets you on arrival, "Bite me." is a perfectly reasonable response.
Feh. I'm feeling both very down and kind of dumb. Was all prepared to go to the Reel Moms showing of Mr & Mrs Smith this morning. Baby was dressed, I was dressed, both of us were awake. I put her in the carseat, went to get my keys and, because the world HATES ME AND NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY FUN--no keys. Can't leave the house without keys. No spares, so no way to check under the seats of the car (a visual spot check revealed no keys, but there are many blind spots). As we have a Well Baby visit this afternoon, I had to call Paul, who took a FlexCar down so he could either help me find my keys, or, if that failed, leave his here. They turned up in a blind spot in the car. Which is a relief, because hey, keys aren't lost and I can get us to the doctor's office, but it doesn't help the really stupid crushing feeling of disappointment at not getting to go and do something nice and mindless and not in the house all due to my own stupidity (well, actually, also due to a fussy baby and a long wait for Paul at his bus stop last night, but my stupidity has at least a walk-on in this situation).
I hate hate hate disappointment. Even the word. It makes me feel like I'm two, and not in the good running around naked and playing with stuffed animals 24/7 way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay Erin!!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, Ple. As you are learning, every trip out with baby is fraught with unexpected consequences. Even when it's not baby's fault, there's usually such a whirl of things that you're responsible for and juggling that stuff like this - like losing your keys except not - happens a lot more often.
It is not a condition of your intelligence, but your circumstances. This is what parenting is like with a young baby.
