Susan, you are totally allowed to cut out on some of the kid stuff, without flagellating yourself for being a bad mommy. Sometimes DH has to work while I take the kids to a birthday party or a playdate, sometimes I'm the one who stays home and works while DH takes the kids to his mother's or to the park.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles).
You have a Marseilles? Indiana has a Versailles! Pronounced to rhyme with yours.

Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles). And of course, there's the street name mangling (Goethe isn't "GER-ta", it's "GO-thee").
I know I've mentioned before that I work on Thames pronounced Thaymes (with the dipthong).

I'm trying to figure out how soon I can get out of here without anyone noticing. It's really f'ing beautiful outside, and I need to be home to make gumbo for tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG you guys, I have gotten so much done today, but yet? Not everything. Bah! I'm still supposed to call some lady I don't like (even calling her "lady" is an overstatement -- she should get "girl") and I just don't want to.

So does Ohio. And Versailles, Ohio's annual summer festival is Poultry Days, which features a beauty pageant whose winner is crowned (I shit you not) Miss Chick.
