Gronk.

Owen got up at 3:30 a.m. And DID NOT go back to sleep. I couldn't manage to get to sleep until after 12:30 last night so I ended up getting up with him on less than 3 hours of sleep. DH got to bed after me but I woke him up at 6 a.m. to give me a respite.

HE SNAPPED AT ME. He's lucky he still lives. He let me sleep from 6-9 at which point I woke up, got O dressed and dragged him out in the craptastic rain to the toddler play group I found this week.

I will not miss this week. The weekend HAS to be better.

Much quick painless healing ~ma headed to the dad of Matt.

Never mind.

Taking a shower when one hand is too weak to squeeze the shampoo and the other arm too sore to raise over ones head - pitiful. Just plain pitiful.

On the other hand, I did remember to dump an ice cube in my tea this morning to avoid the usual scortched tongue.

My maintainingness has been helped immeasurably by this song being called to my attention. It is Teh Funny.

Dylan has that one on regular rotation. Stylistically it reminds me of the things some of the musicians at our church do with praise & worship choruses or earnest songs of their own composition about their unworthiness and God's glory that they sing as solos. As a result, I can't hear it without picturing T. or K. getting up in front of the congregation and talking about how God gave them this song about butts.

I figure I'ma burn in hell for this one...

Juliana -- I hope you achieve all the clarity in the world on this issue, and that Z does too. All the best.

Part of my morning ritual. I have no idea why it took me so long to work it out.

ION, for fans of things princessy. I'm doing an online workshop this month about how Regency-era clothes worked. Here's one of today's illustrations:

If you were Princess of Wales in 1816, this is what your wedding dress looked like. Shiny!

WANT.

(((Cash))) I hope that the cutiehead boy decides to take a long nap and that you get one at the same time.

MG I hope your hand feels better soon. I think not being able to squeeze the bottle is a good excuse to go to the salon and get the "works" like vw had. It sounds like it was wonderful.

Dean O. decided that the library should be open on December 23rd, even though the semester ends on December 22nd. I hope she chokes on a Christmas cookie.

My DH's uncle has a new Shih Tzu that he is trying to name. The last one was Bootsie, and others in my family have been Tuff-Stuff and Nutty-Buddy. Ideas?

{{juliana}} All the ~ma you need, sweetie.

{{Nora}} People do suck much of the time.

I can't be the only one who didn't do it, right?

I can guarantee there were others.

I'm tuckered out this morning. It's been a long few weeks and doesn't look like it'll slow down much until after mid-November.

On the bright side, the midterm I turned in on Sunday, which I thought I made a B on, turns out I got a 100%. Woot!
