I just deleted the post I meant to keep and left this one up. Argh.
To sum up:
Still fun, still good, still love my kids.
Grading is of the suck, but that's just one of the drawbacks. Everything else is pretty cool.
Erin, just how I feel.
Also, Cass, SO excited for you. Any moing dates set yet?
And btw, congrats to Deena and fam!!
Eh.

Nope. I need a for sure okay from the rental place and to maybe figure out some family things. March 6 - 17 th, sometime in there.
I am about to break out the Magic Eraser.
I also purchased food to see me through this massive cleaning task ahead of me.
Including the makings for some of my paternal grandma's favorites: chopped chicken livers and potato pancakes. The foods that growing up made me wonder if there was any Jewish lineage (we didn't really have a religion growing up and it never occurred to me that I could actually just ask) til I realized the cream in the livers and the bacon served with the pancakes made that a tad unlikely. And delicious. Did I mention the delicious?
Turns out that there was Christian Scientist on that side and a whole lot of Catholic on the other. So much for my ideas of a Nana.
I also picked up some chips and salsa and some gorgeous wee asparagus. My food is as split personality as my heritage.

If it just goes in a straight line? It's not as interesting to me. Also I prefer four wheels. So cycles and drag racing are out.
Ugh, I think I am getting a cold. My throat hurts and I have that stuffy head thing.
I really hope not. Bleargh.
When you're the fifth kid, you learn pretty quickly that comparison is fruitless.
Hee. I'm the middle of five. Maybe you just have to be one of a passel of kids and that lesson gets learned early.
It's interestng to see how everyone defines success. When I was younger, moving out of my parents house and staying out meant success to me. Imagine my surprise when I found myself moving back in when I was 45. Then, I found myself moving in with my daughter. We do what we have to do to take care of ourselves; sometimes that means doing it all on our own, sometimes it means asking for help. Asking for help doesn't indicate lack of success, it indicates that you're smart enough to know your limitations.
This better, Cassie -- Geoff Bodine in a bobsled?

Really? I mean, love the old coot but damn bobsleding could, at the least, leave a mark at his age.
Okay the Magic Erasers are pretty cool. Though I bought eight and I don't think that will be enough. They tear up pretty quick. Also tore up my hands. I am taking a moisturizing break.
