Oh, Laura, I so sorry.
I'm in a bit of a teens-can-disappoint funk right now myself. I just finished quarter grades and 1/3 of all my students are failing. Why? Because they don't do their homework. Even when I give them in-class time to work on it.
But, I'm just their teacher and not their parent. I don't have to take away priviledges. All I can do is wheedle, cajole, and fail.
Dude! So. Jealous. I *love* her!!!
She is, unsurprisingly, HILARIOUS in real life too. Also, very nice! Did you see her blog from when she was living in Argentina this winter with her boyfriend?

Happy Birthday Tickybox! And Happy Birth Day to Plei.
Those twins have such the pinchable cheeks!
Now I have to get back to doing my taxes. Boo.
Bleh. Went to school, tutored a student (very badly -- my brain wasn't quite working right), went grocery shopping, came home, felt miserable. Took my temperature, and I've got a fever. Coughing up
yellowish guck
. To the doctor tomorrow, I think.
Oh dear, Hil. I hope a bit of rest and soup helps.
Happy Lillybean Tickybox Day!!!
HAPPY TICKYBOX BIRTHDAY! Also, did I read right? Is Sox's little Iris also having a birthday today? If so, Happy Birthday, Baby Sox!
Laura, I'm so sorry. How incredibly frustrating. Hil, feel better!
nope - she's just *slept in*!
what are the buffista babies planning...
no idea - but I hope it will kick ass.
Kristin, did you get number$ for your 5th class today?
Sox, how did your DH's interview go?
too soon to tell - and there are a couple more on the way. Which is good because today I have to mail the IRS an irrational, unwarranted, enormous, horrible, no-good, very bad check thanks to a mis-com on DH's postdoc grant. SO, a real job would be fabu.
Still, one interview in B-more, another in PA, and a couple more in DC/VA all in a couple of weeks. This could get really tricky, really fast. Don't shout 'VA!' too loud, coz - I like my Bawlimore Hon's a bunch.
