If you do it, I'll take pictures. On a somewhat related note, it's okay to skip a meeting if your brother's chairing and he's getting on your nerves and they won't interrupt the meeting for you to kick him in the 'nads, right? Cause I'm thinking next month we'll have a better handle on our Personal Issues, and be all dialoguing and all that meeting crap. The thing is, he spies on us. It's repellent, but I know from experience it's easier to bond with my father if you have somebody you're mad at that he's mad at, too. So I sort of understand it, but it's hard not to get pissed about the lack of privacy and etc. Our whole dynamic has gotten weird and he eats here all the time and junk.(That's not weird...the NSA impression is, however. But I always want to talk about when I'm like "Drop the goddamn mail, you asshole!" But we've only started to get along after assloads of sibling strife and I don't want to bicker with him any more.

Oh crap, Spidra. That's just hell. There must be something that can be done. what you're dealing with is unacceptable.

I'm with JZ in bitchslapping (and not in a fun way) the asshats in Erika's family. Grrr.

Is there a way to calm his nosy ass?

I just had a total awwww moment with my girl.

aw, well, that's a better story than J.Edgar Hoover junior.

I just had a total awwww moment with my girl.

So... that's all we get? Not in a sharing mood on this one?

Sorry, got distracted.

I was showing her a flier for a softball camp at San Jose State - a week of sleepaway and softball. She said she didn't want to go alone and asked if there was an age limit cause I sure needed to learn how to catch a ball.

Very awwww! You done good raising that girl.

Okay, so on a whim I downloaded another ep of "How I met your Mother."

I had forgotton Alexis Denisof was on it now.

His third line last night: "We should have sex."

Falling over now.

Son: Dad! Don't say things like that when I'm drinking!

Aww, he's all ready for coffee on the monitor. A buffista in training.

My son is suspended for 5 days.

Oh, Laura, that sucks. Is it an in-school suspension, or at home? I must admit, I've never seen the point of the at home ones...

It's a good thing they do not require me to keep my desk cleared off, I would fail horridly. I need papers around, if they're put away I forget about them! However, today I did a bunch of desk-clearing-off, which felt awesome.

TCBITW is nearly SEVEN?!?!?!?!?

Dear lord, that's madness!

Easier the other way around for sure. Women take little boys in the restroom all the time.

Yeah, but at some point? When Aimee and Kristin and Drew and I went to the museum, there was a woman in the restroom with her two boys--one looked about 8 or 9, but the other was like, 12. That seemed just a *little* inappropriate.

My son and daughter still get a bath together (which I'll be giving them in about 3 hours). I'm not sure at what age that should/will change.

Probably whenever she's old enough to say that she doesn't want to.
