Thanks everyone for your sympathy today. I am now home waiting for tasty Thai food with a bourbon & ginger in hand.
For the record: I am not wearing red or plaid and have no intentions of driving anywhere tonight.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I was all excited, and then the whole thing was just room for me to list the other 11 people who (don't) live with me!
I know! I kept turning pages going "there must be something more for me to fill out!

Or should mom just stop looking and consider it a lost cause that he will sneak to school and either sell for cash or trade for something else and just pay the dimwitted babysitter her money back while telling her AGAIN that no no no on buying the manipulative child anything that costs more than $5.
I vote this. And then make yourself a bourbon & ginger.

Oh msbelle. Though I don't know that buying games without checking with the parent actually warrants reimbursement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez. I maybe vote for this one, but I am no parent.

I don't know if Buffistas count as an alibi... but I bet we'll find that out for sure sooner or later.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
ICompletelyRandomN, words cannot express how devastated I am that I never knew this remarkable person ever existed until four days after she died:
RIP Suzanne Beauclerk, Dowager Duchess of St. Albans
Dude! Her infancy was marked by the care of an amah who soothed her unruly brood with small doses of chloroform! She spent her childhood in a decaying villa, stomping grapes with the townspeople and storing her collection of live pythons on the nursery shelves while miniature owls nested on top of the wardrobe! She was recruited by British intelligence during WWII, but set to work at basic reporting as she was congenitally incapable of deception (and yet she had such an elfishly gleeful smile)! She is probably the only person on earth whom Graham Greene ever caused to dissolve into helpless giggles. She wrote memoirs to pay the bills and ran an art gallery that exhibited Mervyn Peake's sketches. Her husband was a descendant of Charles II and Nell Gwynn.
I just...I... Sigh. I fear I'm girlcrushing on a dead woman.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
while telling her AGAIN that no no no on buying the manipulative child anything that costs more than $5.
I'm with Brenda. Especially since you said AGAIN. That's kinda one of those lessons people need to learn. And this is how.
Sorry you are still having such DS drama. Ugh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This sounds the least crazy-making for mom. In my totally inexperienced opinion.

Phew!

And in a separate post, because msbelle posted while I was loving on the Dowager Duchess,
Holy shit, that's awful. Also, what megan said, including the part about the bourbon and ginger.
