LOLMom Story:

My Mom: Hi Glen, I'm really glad I took that course in non-violent communication from you.

Glen: glad you liked it.

MM: Yeah, I used to be bad at arguing, but with your techniques I get the other side flustered and frustrated and angry.

Glen: Umm, that really was not the point of non-violent communication training.

My Mom: Oh no, it's great. I win. They lose. That's the way I want the argument to go.

Glen: !!!

Hahahahahha... Typo, that's great!

Is it pathetic that doing the dishes is my Big Accomplishment for the day?

not your mom's socks.

I was upstairs icing/steaming my face when this happened -

DH: please leave that candy on the counter alone (there is all types of wrong with this sentence already).

Iris: but I just want to see it....

DH: NO.

Iris: Ok. (walks away. Gets stepladder. returns.)

DH: What did I say?

Iris: I just want to see it. Puh-leeze?

DH: Ok. Just look. Then we need to go.

Iris: (after 22.4 seconds) Can I hold it?

DH: That's it, you're done. (Iris back on floor, stepladder away.)

Iris: (mumbling to herself as she walks away.) Well, that didn't work.

My Big Accomplishment is laundry. But it was five loads of laundry, so I feel that it should at least count as a Medium Accomplishment.

HA. Go Iris!

Hil, totally! I meant to strip the beds and wash the sheets and I still might. But they will have to be hung tomorrow to dry.

I wish I lived somewhere desert-y so that I could hang stuff to dry. But in DC there's nowhere to hang stuff (when I have one or two things that I need to hang dry, they go over my shower rod), and in NJ, anything hung outside would get covered with pollen.

Iris is Very Sneaky.

I have run (very very slowly), had pancakes with my niece and sister, done laundry, trimmed the roses, and found a pair of underpants in my hedge. Can I be done for the day?

Also, I want some cute new tops that I can wear to work and aren't completely unprofessional nor boring. And a new bathing suit.
