But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Poor Loki! Or maybe poor sara.

It's wickedly hot and humid and windy hear. My allergies are FREAKING OUT.

It's 12:30 am and I just spent the time from my last post digging shit out of a gutter pipe hoping I didn't haul out a dead rat and discovering the plug is further up than I can reach (why did I give my snake away years ago, Home Despot first thing) but thankfully there is a hole in the drain above it and then shoving water with my feet down the feed from the balcony to make sure it could keep up and did I mention it is thundering and lightning and RAINING. And most of the crap I pulled out was roofing debris. Fucking roofers.

YOURS!

My students take the AP exam tomorrow. GULP. One just AIMed me with "thanks Ms. Gullo for being awesome beyond the universe of forever." which is sweet and meant sweetly, but I wanted to kid her with "write better than that tomorrow please!!" (actually she's a very good writer).

Also, I need to have someone choreograph a cheer and a dance for tryouts.

when did I become this person?

OH! And even bigger? Our daycare person asked us to buy big-kid underpants for Noah. She said it's time to start PTing him. MEEP. My baby?

Copy the one they use on Buffy during "The Witch."

Or steal from Toni Basil's choreography for "Mickey."

Oh, David. Mickey was outdated (and not in a fun retro way) 16 years ago (meep) when I cheered!

That's because she used the choreography she did when she was a cheerleader in the late fifties.

But now it would be a post-modern lark, no?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat, WRT pants for Noah: I found one of the best answers for the first few months of big boy/girl pants were the Gerber training pants. They are thick and cottony and absorb most of the pee. And they can be bought in extra wee sizes. Many of the toddler underpants are for 4 and up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

From wikipedia:

The music video for "Mickey" was one of the most popular of the early MTV videos. In the video, Basil wore her head cheerleader uniform from Las Vegas High School, from which she graduated (though the year on the uniform, 81, was two decades after her actual graduation year).

Can you imagine? First of all, that Basil was 38 in the video. Also wearing one's cheerleading uniform 20 years later, on MTV, and looking pretty damn good in it.
