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.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I hope you feel better soon, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Yeah, I was done growing at 13. I just got blindsided by his cousin never getting tall! All of a sudden, she was off to college, and still kind of short. Short mom + tall dad = medium-ish kid. My cousin has two tall parents.

(I'm not sure why I'm obsessed with growth patterns of children in my very extended family.)

Because books.
I think Ben just measured 5'7" at school, which startled me. He won't be fourteen till February, but he also has feet like small watercraft.
And Sara's got these incredibly long legs. She's probably going to be tall like Stephen and his sibs, and leave me the tiny frustrated person in the family, I know it.

'Cuz you're all tall and stuff.
I'll tell you, though, the most commonly heard phrase at tryouts for Little League is "growth spurt" because it makes a huge difference in a kid's fastball and how far his line drives will go.

I had really long legs as a kid. I was sure I was going to be 5'8" when I grew up. I am a good 3 inches short of that.
