Erin, you are a fantastic stepmom. M is pretty fortunate to have a Dad who loves him so much and a stepmom who is looking out for him. Bless you for balancing out all the self-involvement and craxiness in his other home environment.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Erin, I agree with everyone saying you're an incredibly good stepmom. I wish you and your stepson a relationship like the one I have with my dad's partner, where we hang out and talk academia and writing go for coffee and are great friends. I love that. I'm sure your stepson will increasingly feel the same way about you.
This week, apart from writing a (very overdue) book review for an academic journal, I am mostly making funding applications for next year. I would so appreciate some funding~ma. Buffista ~ma is a thing of wondrous awesomeness.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Erin, I echo those who are saying you are an excellent stepmom.
Seska, much funding~ma to you.

not your mom's socks.
crap, I'm not getting any work done. DH's co has Announcements coming tomorrow, and I'm all on edge because he really needs some goodness from them, and we really don't need any more quicksand times from them (4 rounds of quicksand in the 3.5 years we've been here. enough.). I need calm, stability, something good. I need to clean, I think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Is anyone with experience dealing with HR, personnel or managers up to quick review of an email I need to send?
