Holy shit, I had the worst time getting out of bed. Only two things motivated me to do so: I heard Tom grind up some coffee so I knew Blue Bottle was imminent (and it's so awesome that you don't want to let it sit around); and the fact that smonster is coming over at 1pm. Otherwise I swear I would just stay in bed all day.

It's kinda cloudy and cool here today, which didn't help, but I don't think I can blame my torpor on it.

I'm babysitting the dojo kids today. Alone. We have watched Wall-e and Lilo & Stitch. It is too cold out to go to the park. I have a feelIng we are going to go a bit stir crazy. I wish I had more than Legos, color books, and movies.

Oh no, you can totally blame it on that. Works for me.

Y'all, I am not better. I mean, I feel kind of better, but I still have diarrhea and I'm just... done. I can't go to Frenchmen St tonight b/c honestly, I can't be that far from a bathroom. Limiting my diet doesn't seem to help. The People's Pharmacy remedy of coconut macaroons is tasty, but ineffective. I've got to go get some pepto. Not gonna even pretend to close the whine tag, it's gonna be like this for a while.

Nora, still coming over. That I can handle.

Suzi, can you make homemade "play doh"? Isn't it just flour and water and such?

WHUT.

{{{smonster}}} Continued feel-better~ma headed in your direction.

TCG is dealing with the leafocalypse today, and I should really get off my ass and do something productive.

I walked into a sort of cloth diaper/baby store this Morning to buy a baby toy and walked out having spent over $200. But I did get two new cute diapers and a cool baby carrier that is really comfortable and perfect for his age.

Oh, I make cookies sometimes with the kids when I'm bored. It makes a mess but is fun.

Smonster, so sorry. That sounds beyond awful.

Kara and Aidan love mother may I and red light/green light. Also, lately, they've been making things out of paper, currently, it's all the Finding Nemo fish, and then they act out the movie. Kara has her own "fishy tawk show", which she's roped Aidan into. It's just pretending to do like iCarly, sort of.

All the rooms except the bedrooms are clean. There are no lutherans in the sink. It's a little scary...

Until we reached the first exhibit and an animatronic T-rex roared at him

Were there warnings for that? It seems that could disturb a fair slice of people.

aid employer let them know that he'd served gaol time and was a former drug addict

Huh. Is that a normal level of divulging in Australia? I know in the US they generally stick to i"ta ! worked here as a Technical Analyst between 1993 and 2002" and not that much more to steer clear of getting hauled up over "claims".

His kids are invited to something he's not? How's that going to work out? Is their mother invited? Camouflaged as a play date?
