I am finally sitting down after washing, drying, and putting away 4 loads of laundry and one load of diapers. Ellie spent the night with a friend (first friend sleepover) and it was so much easier with one less child. Apparently, she stayed up "all night" but I don't buy it because she's pretty functional.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Bonus is that there are ALWAYS AAAs left in the stores! I've got 2 (well, 3 but I can't find it) of those and want to buy many many more.
Yes, and there are always extra here too, because we only have one thing that uses them, and I tend to buy the batteries in bulk.
My cousin had a little girl today! She's in NJ, and I was so worried that she wasn't going to be able to get to the hospital in the storm, so I'm glad that all is well.
Checking in: I napped and have now graded five essays. Going to pick up the pooch and then back to work. Thanks for the motivation...
Trudy, have you got your hatches battened down?
All set. We have a kinetic flashlight, a land-line, 2-3 days of water in the tank on the roof, some food, and live about a hundred feet above sea-level. All set!
Mom: Do you have enough food in the house?
Me: If we lose power I've got pb&j for three days. I'm good.
I'm in a fortunate position emergency-wise.
My flashlights seem to have disappeared. I know that I own some, but I looked everywhere and can't find them.
I've got chicken stock simmering on the stove, I got my clothes ready for tomorrow, put some clothes away, and now I'm watching the game in Da Courtyard. And boom goes the dynamite.
Go you, smonster! I've graded 22 of 36 essays. I can't go to bed until I finish the final 14, so I'm trying to pick up the pace. If I didn't have to give those darn kids feedback...
Ugh Pix, I totally feel you on that one.
