Huh. Matilda just woke up, looked around, and burst into tears. Right now she's being cuddled by Hec while she sobs, "I don't want to go back home! I want to go back to baseball!"
Poor Matilda. Have you tried telling her there is no crying in baseball?

But, see, she's already there. If she were back at baseball instead of going back home, she wouldn't be crying.
That is some awesome stuff-doing, msbelle. I bow down before you, and I wish I knew how you do it. My own desk at work looks like a total wreck and there are at least two giant things that must be done that have been looming for weeks while smaller crises explode and suck me away from the giant things. It's rather horrible.
Plus, come September, 6% pay cut. Whee!
hold up there JZ. from my inbox - invoices from MAY!!! - yeah, nsm with me and the "on-top-of-stuff".
It reads like a robbery gone wrong. In a not so healthy for me place, I admit that my initial thought was that one of the children was probably involved.
I have to say, I'm a bit relieved at the way it's playing out. If there can be any "relieved" about it.
BTW, today is the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11, the first mission to land on the moon.
The actual landing was July 20th, 1969.

Wow, video quality of space launches has improved a lot in the last 40 years.
The first PTA meeting is at 5:00pm tonight. 5:00pm! Who can do 5:00pm on a weeknight? Crazy. My record of missing PTA board meetings is going to continue.
The first PTA meeting is at 5:00pm tonight.
And why on earth in July?!
That is odd, Gud.
I just figured out while I don't remember watching the coverage of the Apollo 11 launch. I remember the event well enough because I was 15. Since it was during the summer we were in Otter Lake at the time and we didn't have television! Years before cable and satellite. Of course this also meant that as kids we were out playing on the lake and in the woods and not on computers and video games.

My dad got us kids up special to watch the landing because it was late at night.
