A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Because books.

Fingers crossed on the IEP, Kat. Go Gracie!

In further "I want to marry Casper's friend Thomas" news, his mother reports that he told her a list of reasons she chose Casper over other girls, who are either too bossy or too quiet. I guess Casper is juuust right. (I think so too, but I may be prejudiced.)

This reminds me of last year. Sara came home with a picture she'd drawn of herself, Emma, and Noah -- they were all getting married together. It was so adorable, and so ... progressive!

Yes, but now you have outside confirmation. That makes it scientific fact.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't find my skirt. That's the only skirt I had in my mental wardrobe for today. I've already picked the top. I'm already wearing the top. Adjustment will be disproportionately difficult if I can't locate the damned thing soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I overslept, but not by enough that I couldn't have made up the time if I had tried.

I'm pretty sure watching part of the Second David Job doesn't count as trying.

You need to do like Sara, and obsessively lay out your clothes the night before, down to socks, barrettes and/or headband. This follows asking me politely to check the weather, so she can plan appropriately.

Too cute. How old is she now?

She's six, sj. And obsessed with her clothes. It's adorable and ... wearying at the same time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I overslept, but not by enough that I couldn't have made up the time if I had tried.

I was glad to learn this morning that I can oversleep some and still make my ride to work. Good one!

Six!

I wish mine cared at all about the weather. Or about wearing socks so her feet don't stink. Maybe Thomas was dumbfounded by the foot stench.

At least your not having huge fights with her in the morning to just pick something and get dressed, right?
