Oh, today was a world of do not want! Be strong, brenda. We're all behind you.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Happy birthday Tom!
I think 10 year olds are at that perfect moment of clarity and rationality -they're old enough to be almost-adult in their intelligence, but mostly too young to be hormone-addled teenagers. It's a great age. For correcting the Smithsonian.
I am so glad my mother is only 58, and my father (62) has a ten years younger wife and at least one child who is both not estranged from him and a responsible human being, even if she's only 21 right now.
When she gets old, my mother is going to be a HANDFUL. (I mean, she's a handful now, but a healthy and fully compos mentis handful).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not a good birthday so far.
Bah. But I am glad I clicked through to see what FoTC is! Now if I can only remember that's there when I get home tonight.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Happy Birthday, Tom!!!
Hope the day gets better, like with good food and cake better.
My virus from hell shifted from a terrible sore throat to congested head. Feh. But at least swallowing is easier.
I'd probably have helped random guy on the road, even with the kids in the car (which DH would HATE to hear).
The Conversation was a lot easier with my parents--twin is a lawyer who simply told them what they needed to do and they did it. Even though Dad is the stoic type who doesn't like to accept help, he's also pretty understanding, having been through it with his own father. I hate to think of my parents being unable to take care of themselves but it makes me glad that I have as many siblings as I do. Less pressure on any single one of us.

Because books.
Happy Birthday, Tom! I hope it gets better. And I certainly hope there's cake.
Stephen just showed me an article about a school in Arizona strip-searching a thirteen-year-old for IBUPROFEN. I am speechless.

Dear Coworkers,
Item 1: Being in a different time zone than you are doesn't mean that I'm slacking.
Item 2: I don't know. No, really, I don't know. I've never done this before, and I cannot troubleshoot. Asking me five times an hour will not change the fact that I don't know.
oh, my god, I'm going to kill you all,
