Ugh, msbelle, that is hard.

I think M. is a little immature, too. I am going to work this summer on independence. He told me he doesn't have chores as home (grain of salt), but I do notice that he has an expectation to be waited on for a lot of things that an 8 yo is perfectly able to do; i.e., getting a glass of juice, making a PB&J if I get the stuff, etc.

A lot of it is single child stuff, I imagine, but I am going to start working on skill sets; he's a really great, bright kid who just needs some clear boundaries, and to be shown how to do stuff, and follow-through with expectations of what he CAN and SHOULD do. I want him to be proud of his independence at the end of the summer.

Another boy at the party almost started a fight. Thank dog not mac.

There's a 3 year old here that I can talk with more than most of the adults. 20 more min.

Somedays, I'm about as socially mature as mac.

Grace's hair looks adorable. I always wanted hair that does curls and flips like that.

I just opened the curtains for the first time since noon.

Grace and her flippy, cutie curls are adorable! Owen has a buzz cut now, too.

Add mac to the buzzcut group. In fact I plan to trim it up again in 3 weeks. Half an inch all around.

Perkins, Leverage should be on the TNT website AND Comcast On Demand should also have it.

Do not despair.

I would like to give M. a little buzz, but his mom would FLIP. Haircut next weekend, tho.

I need one, too, but I'll be on the river, baybee!

Planning to cancel cable entirely once Leverage is done with its current run? Priceless.

Yeah, there is the lure of a watch and post, of course. But Leverage is one show that is online, on Netflix and available really quickly.

Sadly, I pay for cable for racing. Which is is not available anywhere else but live, really.

They say they stream info online but I've never had it work out well. I might give it a shot though.

I wish I could watch it live, but Leverage will be online within a few days

Something that just made me laugh-- I have 2 sets of that magnetic refrigerator poetry word things-- one is "erotic" and one is "for cat lovers" They are sort of mixed up, but pretty easy to spot the difference. Except, I realize, for the word pussy.

I once made an obscene fridge magnet poem using only the "dog and cat lovers" magnets.
