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.

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.

Because books.

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.

Punishingly Intricate

You haven't met my cats.

Seriously, mine too. Most of the damage has been to my bank account though. And the rugs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

This past summer I kept flashing on the scene from YA-YA Sisterhood where the mom breaks. And then my dad came and stayed a month.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, SuziQ. Fuck cancer indeed.

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

I'm sorry, Suzi.

That sounds amazing and wonderful, Liese! Now I want to go do a weekend like that. If you haven't already though of it, you might want to check rental places for used kayak sales, you can get some good deals that way.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Part of me wants to jump a plane and get back to California for her service. I don't have the money and the timing would mess with committments I have here. But I have worked with her for over 15 years. There were good times and not so good times, but she was a wonderful lady.
