'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
My mother has five siblings. There are five years between each of them, and they althernate boy/girl/boy/girl/boy/girl. By the end of the run, Miss Mary was just doing the birthing, not the raising. Youngest girl thought oldest girl was her mother.
Slowly approaching sanity. Good god, y'all.
I know at least one woman who got pregnant while breastfeeding a new baby.
I'm pretty sure at least one of my older siblings was conceived while my mother was nursing, given the birth dates.
I was the opposite - a menopause baby.
Facebook was up for me long enough to read that a friend from high school just got a Trisomy 18 diagnosis with her child but not long enough for me to send a supportive message to them in response.
What is that?
I've been talking about it in Bitches, but I'll share two things over here.
1) Today is Emmett's birthday! He's 14. Matilda's birthday is on Sunday.
2) Matilda got accepted into Grattan Elementary pre-school, after something like two years on the waiting list. She already goes to the UCSF preschool where JZ works, but this is much cheaper. Also it would give her a priority to select that school (a highly rated one) for kindergarten next year. It will be a tough transition for her since she loves her teachers and classmates but there are too many benefits for us to forego this opportunity.
Happy birthday to Emmett and yay for Matilda!
I looked at my vacation balance a few weeks ago, and realized that I clearly needed to take more vacation days. Today is a random vacation day. My body decided it needed to sleep for 11 hours, so that's what I did. Now I'm puttering around the apartment doing cleaning and maintenance.
Happy Birthday to Emmett! Can't believe he is 14.
And I'm glad that Matilda is getting this opportunity. Sounds like a good one altogether.
I hope you feel better soon, ita.
Happy birthday to Emmett and yay for Matilda!
That!
So that makes my cousin 13. He's still only like 5'5", but boys grow late, right? (We're expecting him to be a giant.)

Later than girls. Emmett's 5'5" at age 14. I didn't hit my growth spurt until I was about 15, I think. I grew six inches in one year. My legs ached all the time, and I got cramps in the night.
