I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Unrelatedly (I think): How many playpen balls would it take to fill your apartment?

Now tagless for your comfort.

So far, I've taken care of ordering repairs to our phone line (AT&T), registering and logging onto our new email accounts (Charter Communications), had movers come and take away the large pile of cardboard boxes in the garage from the move, filled out our Atlltel Wireless rebates, packed our old mobile phones to ship to a friend, and called the speech therapy place and school district regarding Owen's evaluations.

All while juggling two, snotty, sick toddlers.

Monday is my BITCH.

Okay, annual review isn't going to be today, which is good because at this point I'd probably just put my head down on the conference table and try not to cry.

I need a nap. And food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo! I was one of four winners in my office baby pool for our coworker! I won $5.50.

Ha! That would be awesome. Go for it!

Yeah, OK, I don't really know how to do that, but I spent a lot of time this weekend trying to find a ringtone I liked and wasn't embarassed by.

God, the giggles are hilarious. Over and over and over.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey lori, are you doing the turkey? I have a gift certificate for a free one, and I can drop it by on my way home.
