Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We did roll over and go back to sleep.

But it's different when you're that close to the epicenter.

Our wings are not tired.

Wake up! Shake Shake Shake! I have never felt an earthquake. Been in a bunch of blizzards and hurricanes. No tornadoes, happy to say.

I put Bobby in Kindergarten at the right time (August 22 DOB), but half way through 1st grade accepted he needed to be held back. He just wasn't ready. I called a conference with his teacher and she agreed with my assessment. He was still bigger than most kids when he was the youngest and I considered that when making him the oldest, but it was the right thing to do.

I pulled him out and home schooled him the rest of the year then put him back into 1st grade again in the fall. I never thought I would suffer so much over decision making as I did over school decisions for the kids. In the end I learned to trust my instincts.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac's team won both soccer games this weekend and I did 2 hours of yardwork and had a brief visit with a friend. We meet with mac's psychiatrist this afternoon. He had me double the prozac for the last 4 days, but I see very little difference (and is 4 days even enough to show difference?).

I am glad the weekend is over, work is more relaxing.

Not really. Maybe next week.

not your mom's socks.

Hope everyone's ok in SF/Berkley. Good luck at Mac's dr., msbelle.

So February was a pretty crappy month, mostly with a lot of change for people very close to me (my 2nd mother is moving far away, HPF's godfather's dealing with a bunch of stuff), a bunch of stuff way up in the air, and some emotional things that make me want to go full turtle and hide. HPF spending 5 weeks telling me how horrible and mean I am helps a ton (yay, 7-going-on-13). March is starting to seem like more of the same. It feels like I'm in the middle of some pretty tectonic (sorry CA) changes and I'm gritting my teeth and hoping things will get better not worse - soonish. I've been quiet on the board because conflict, even about books I love, sends me further into the awful. If anyone has any better~ma and/or anti-brain-weasel-spray to spare, I hope you don't mind my asking. Thanks.

I'm sorry, Sox. I sincerely hope you see a turn around for the better soon.

Not so work friendly, but pretty darn funny editorial cartoon in my inbox this morning - [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

~ma to Sox.

I live in blizzard country, and it doesn't really seem to take that much preparation. The once every 10 or so year ice storms are much worse-- they really do a number on power lines and trees.

In general I am happy with this natural disaster areas, as we are far enough inland that we don't get too badly hit by hurricanes. But then we had TWO EARTHQUAKES!!!! I live in blizzard country precisely so the earth does not move under my feet!

You know, this sounds like quid pro quo or something.
