Snowpocalypse in NYC has devolved into Rainpocalypse: The Enslushening. It is just gross out there.

Yeah, that doesn't sound appealing at all. I was reminded yesterday that I live in the suburbs, since there was hardly any snow on the ground in Manhattan, but plenty in my neighborhood. I hear people clearing outside, and it's almost 40 out, so I hope by the time I get out there, the sidewalks are clear.

I'm out of milk (for Dylan) and cream (for my coffee) and bacon (for dinner) so at some point I will have to venture outside. Not looking forward to it.

dudes, mac grew 3/8 of an inch in the last 11 days. wtf.

So he's taller than you now, right?

Tom, you went to American Girl? You are a much braver person than I am. I'm troubled by the thought of doing anything more social than posting here.

Did I mention that my parents are in town?

Kristen's Roommate? We're going to Skirball on 12/24 to see the Noah's Ark exhibit if you'd like to join us. Also, if you'd like to come by and have dinner or treats with us, we'll be here.

I was up way way too late last night watching my brother rebuilt his engine (blew a head gasket the day before I got here.) It was fascinating, but whoa, time got away from us and I think we were up past 3, and of course I sleep like ass my first night anywhere.

Waiting for him to finish tuning it before heading into the throngs.

Nephews are cute as ever.

It's cold out. -5 F, with a wind chill of -20 to -30. That's cold by Wisconsin or Minnesota standards even.

We have -8 with a -28 windchill. And it's STILL snowing. I'm bummed because the kids have been in the house for four days and I really wanted to take them to the gym today. Their colds are finally clearing up and the gym's daycare is usually empty on Sunday afternoon.

Kat! It's Sunday already, isn't it? (Early am ER visit has thrown off my time sense). Too asocial to come by today? (Don't worry--I totally get it, plus parents).

Just heard that family hasn't hooked up beach time yet.Mostly sold out, I'm told. Now I'm irritable. Every time I come home we do beach time As news go, it's the kind that's not, but how much can I complain that they aren't doing this ritualstic nice thing for me? And them--it's not like I go alone? '

ita, you're leaving on the 24th, yes? DAMN. Time is getting away from me (we missed an OT appointment yesterday because I got confused).

Noah has speech therapy right now. Is tomorrow a possibility, ita?

Is tomorrow a possibility, ita?

Sure. Not doing anything but cleaning, job hunting, and getting ready to leave.

Then tomorrow it is. Each day we have SOMEthing planned. But it's only one thing and for a short time. Like today, we are supposed to go to a class thing for K in Pasadena at 1:00. Tomorrow we have yoga for me, OT for Noah, a 5;00 PM class meeting. Tuesday we are going to the Wild Animal Park. Wednesday I'm getting tickets for Noah's Ark. Thursday is xmas. Friday my dad goes home. Saturday we have to be at the DWP festival of lights thing. Sunday we have to be at the Farmer's Market. Monday? Don't remember. Ugh.

It's cold and drizzly in SF. And by cold I mean it's 46, and by drizzly I mean you would get moistened if you stepped outside.

Matilda (with very little marking for her face bonk yesterday) is off to church with JZ. Emmett's had pancakes and I'll be peeling him away from HIMYM to do the last vestige of homework so he can chill for the rest of his vacation.

I only need a few more xmas presents and some stocking stuffers. Now if we can just find a car.
