Smart boy!

Mister Kitty is very jealous of the laptop on my lap. I'm getting poked and yowled at and having to type around him.

But! I did manage to totally fuck up my wireless router and internet connection and then set it all to rights! With security and shit. Probably more I could set up, but I've tempted fate enough as it is.

mmm, meara introduced me to tostones just last week. sooo gooood.

I just had an interesting meeting today. We're putting together a graduate course. I wonder, why do I keep trying to increase my workload?

It is nine o'clock. WHY ARE BOTH MY CHILDREN STILL AWAKE???

flea, because Noah stole all of the sleep. He's already down.

Sometimes I wish I could just suck energy from children-- I am so tired all the time and they are so-- um-- not.

Well, kids are energy vampires. They tend to suck the energy from you.

I wanna pull a Smile Time on my kids EVERY FUCKING AFTERNOON when I'm dragging ass and they're running around in circles in the backyard.

The eldest nephew has two modes: ON and OFF. And he needs shockingly less sleep than other kids his age. We need to bottle that shit.

I'm curious to see if the younger follows that path as well.

When my brother and SIL procreated, it was like caffeine met sugar, or crack met...uh, speed?

Exhausting as it is, after a few days with the kids, you too sleep as hard as they do! (And actually, mom was still able to get her afternoon naps in when D visited. He does self-entertain pretty darn well. But often as not, he'd wake her up by slipping in to play quietly or lie down fidgeting next to her.)

Interesting time-killer: [link] I saw it clockwise at first, but then it went counter-clockwise. Not sure what that means.

I can see it either way, and can switch it back and forth.

Oy. Landlord sent a horrible email to my neighbor.

K, Allyson has brought ymy attention that you are having a problem with her parking in the back which I gave her permission to do so until I can get move C's truck. As of a month to month rental, I do not have to guarenntee a parking space so I told Allyson that she can park in back diagonally until I can get rif of the truck, she called me and and told me that you are giving her a hrad time about parking back there. Stop now, or I will be forced to take action about this issue.and you will be parking on the street.

DUDE. THE PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK. YOU SAID THAT COLIN'S OLD SPACE WAS MINE WHEN YOU SHOWED ME THE PLACE. PLEASE TO STOP CAUSING MORE PROBS WITH MY NEIGHBORS.

MOVE TRUCK. MOVE!
