My travel IQ was 108 and I was locked out of level 10
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Trust my rage
I took my car into to be fixed (left over accident problem) today. They promised it would be fast but it's the end of the day and they had to take the car somewhere else because they don't know what's wrong. That's fine but I'm kicking myself because I left Ellie's carseat in the car (because I trusted them).
I have a friend who will take me to get the car seat but she wants to go to the post office first. All this means that Iwill be rather late picking up Ellie and I feel almost panicky about that. Weird - I know she 's safe...why is this bugging me so much. (Well, because I'm a total control freak who hates being late, but still...)

OMG I just did the Canada Quiz, and bombed on the Ontario section.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kat, you are an amazing, remarkably, kick-ass mom.
ION, I've found our USB cable for the digital camera and the battery charger. Somehow, they ended up in the box with the hats, scarves and mittens.

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
Kat, you are an amazing, remarkably, kick-ass mom.
I dunno, dude. She lets me hold her kids.That's pretty reckless.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Weird - I know she 's safe...why is this bugging me so much.
My two cent completely unqualified psychological opinion is that on some viceral mental level you feel like you aren't keeping your daughter safe because you lost possession of an object that literally exists to keep her safe.
Really, how much in a child's life can a parent control? And its less and less as she gets older. A car seat is so mechanical and physical and certain. Not to mention that you're hopped-up on gestational hormones which surely exascerbate these instincts at times.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Travel IQ is 113. I rock at Europe and the Middle East but kept getting in trouble taking random stabs at islands I knew were somewhere in the Pacific. We won't talk about how far off I was on the Galapagos.

Thanks, Cashmere, but I am not really feeling in need of hairpats. I'm more intrigued by how weird the guilt thing is. And that's not even it.

Isn't it just freakish?? It sort of pisses me off that I can rationally know I'm doing a good job and yet still be driven to distraction by what I'm NOT doing, or how I could be doing something better?
