Goddammit. My aunt does not grok the subtleties of being copied on an e-mail and thought I was yelling at her for overstepping her bounds or something and is really offended and doesn't want me to come over anymore, which is the complete opposite of what I meant. I hope I can smooth things over with her and explain that I just wanted to keep her in the loop so she'd know what was up and support me.

And my dad called three times in a row and left one voicemail. I can't deal with this.

Clear things up with your aunt and then turn the phone off for a week or so. Lordy.

Shir, I just came across this post on DC Hollaback and though you might be interested. [link]

Ok, woke up early, went to therapy, and taught class. House is mostly clean, kiddo's bed is freshly made.

Camp starts next week, and I am ready for Official Stepmommery(mummery?) to begin tomorrow!

I just came *this* close to deleting someone (ex-colleague) on Facebook (well, unfriending them) because in response to my bitchy status update about how much I hate having half of my "newsfeed" be redundant stories about peoples' profile pics changing, she wrote, "dude, relax". Which. You know how most y'all hate it when someone tells you to "smile"? I hate "relax" or "chill" about a thousand times that.

Oh come on, java. CHILLAX!!

t runs, ducks.

Heh. I like you a LOT more than I like her, so you have leeway.

Oh yeah. There would be stabbination.

YOU MUST CHILL! I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR FRIENDS REQUESTS!

I'm just finished with a nearly-3-hour conference call, during which we (the employees) earnestly talked about how we (the company) could improve morale.

Let me stab people. That will improve my morale.
