It's a monday. Feh.
I'm jealous of all of you snow-day havers. I'd like a snow day. Unfortunately, we don't get sunny days off and today looks to be good and hot.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Supercheerful moods rock! I was with Grace when she woke up at 5:00 this morning and she looked at me like, "Hi lady. What are you doing here?" I sat her up and she smiled and smiled and smiled. Then I held her and she wound back to sleep. Getting her from my arms to the crib without waking her and without disconnecting her vent is a trick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yay, heat! Well, okay, it's in the 70s at least. I don't have many "winter" dresses, and most of my light sweaters are in the laundry, and I am lazy.

That's so cool--it's a shame that these moments are almost stolen with her not living with you, so it's really special each time you can get one.

Trust my rage
I sat her up and she smiled and smiled and smiled.
I imagine there was a lot of Kat smiling as well and I like that image.
Since I'm over here, many thanks to JZ and flea. I took vwbug with me to the post office this morning and was lucky enough to get both of your packages. I felt so loved! I told vw when we got back in the car that we (meaning the buffistas) are very cool.
Ellie still insists that the baby clothes are really meant for her (and who would want a giraffe on their clothes or a cool striped baseball jersey) and tries to put them on.

STOP CALLING. JUST STOP.
(that's addressed to whoever it is calling the officemate's line. We're at 23 calls. He's not here. They keep calling, about 3 in a row, a 5 minute pause and then AGAIN.)
Yay smiley Grace!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
STOP CALLING. JUST STOP.
Amen. Preach it.

Oh. Mine is addressed to The World, c/o Fucking Everyone.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I sat her up and she smiled and smiled and smiled.
Aww, so sweet!

Our wings are not tired.
As the mother of 2 teenage boys I LOVE the mean mom story, although I fear my chances for getting the award are damaged. Being the meanest mom on the planet is a challenge.
