I have to go to a meeting with my manager in half an hour. To talk about my "goals." Blargh.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
All this talk of child-related damage makes me more and more happy I own cats.
This. Because it's my understanding that you aren't actually allowed to pick kids up by their heels and swing them around your head like a bola and then let fly.

You haven't met my cats.
Eldest nephew was capable of some award-worthy acts of creative destruction, some sanctioned, some not. Younger, however, is more likely to spontaneously start mopping the floors or cleaning the countertops. I'm not kidding. He's a little neat freak.

It's just the "letting fly" that's prohibited. Unless they're toddlers and you do it over the bed. As a game!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The most expensive thing my two have ruined was a digital camera, which B. left lying on our lawn. Next to the paddling pool.
Dylan drowned our first Flip camcorder in Lake Huron, but it was ok because it gave me an excuse to upgrade.
He also killed the Roomba by turning it on and off (he liked the noises) until the battery gave up and quit.

Em will do spontaneous cleaning unless it's her room.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Suzi, I'm so sorry.
Liese, that sounds like a wonderful experience!
I'm sure I don't have the emotional stability to be a parent. My kids would have been the ones whose mommy had to go away with the doctors for a while.

There have been times when I've told them not to bother me unless the house is on fire or they're bleeding from the head. For their own safety.
