mac came out of his room last night around 9 and we had something to eat and he was wanting comfort and whatnot. We watched a little tv and then I said we needed to talk. It didn't go well, so I told him back to his room and to have a good night. He came into my bed around 2am. I got the ds and put it away at 3:30. Should be an interesting day. I've told him and emailed his uncle that I will not leave the house with him, so uncle G is coming here.
thank you all for the kind words and good thoughts. this to shall pass.
oh and now he is watching Snow Dogs and I had NO IDEA that the premise is he's adopted. good lord parenting fail.
I hate being lied to. I hate it worst when my health is on the line. I used to like you, Mr. ER Attending. Don't say 'we don't do that here ever." I was there. You do it almost every week.
Also, since the change in my regimen I can't get you to talk to my specalist about, responsiveness would be nice.
Sorry, msbelle. Sorry, ita.
I'm having my own mini-meltdown this morning about seeing my family today.
How did Tino get into Sunday morning? Sorry, everyone.
I hope the rest of Sunday goes better for everyone. I have a houseguest coming tomorrow to stay the week, and I have this long list of stuff that has to get done before she arrives, so I need to get up and go start on that.
Oh no, lots of woe here in b.org this morning. Hugs to Scola, and sympathies to ita and msbelle for the upteen gazillionth frustration.
Red dots represent locations where there are more bars than grocery stores, based on results from the Google Maps API. The Midwest takes their drinking seriously.
Okay, my this is my skewed Midwestern viewpoint speaking here, but that just seems so strange. Wouldn't you expect more bars than grocery stores?
This exchange makes me laugh. I think brenda that perhaps in places, like here I'm guessing, where grocery stores outnumber bars, many of the said grocers are small corner markets, not great big supermarkets.
And I hear there are places where grocery stores SELL liquor (at least beer and wine) so that has to skew results a bit, too.
Grocery stores in GA sell beer and wine, but not on Sundays. We shop on Sundays, which is probably good for the budget, waistline, and general level of boozing it up in the house, but it can be annoying.
Jamaican Musher to Compete in Iditarod
The Iditarod dogsled race begins this Saturday in Anchorage, Alaska and spans 1,100 miles. 27-year-old Newton Marshall is among the 70 entrants and will represent his home country, Jamaica. Marshall used to train in Jamaica on a wheeled sled pulled by stray dogs from the local shelter. He now trains in Alaska with world-class sled dogs.
Singer Jimmy Buffett is among Marshall’s strongest supporters. “He’s absolutely a hero to kids in Jamaica,” Buffett said.
Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurants are key sponsors for Marshall’s dog-sled team, and the famed songwriter says he did not hesitate to back Marshall after learning of his story. Buffett first heard of the Jamaican after meeting Danny Melville, who runs a family-owned tour business in Jamaica where Marshall was employed as a guide.
“I thought from the beginning it was just very cool what he was doing,” Buffett said. “I thought it was so far out there, but it made people smile when they heard about it.”
