Slept in (for me=6:30) and had to deal with mopping the kitchen floor when somehow, Pumpkin exploded the waterdish all over it. And her. She's a damp kitty. I don't even know. It's too early for this.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I'm camped outside security at SFO, because they don't open until 0430. I'm already convinced I over packed.

And I have a head cold, which came on between 6 & 8 pm last night. Bah.

Vonnie, I'm so glad you're okay, I was worried when I saw the headlines!

Flying through Chicago to Boston to Madrid, argh.

In other school news, they are re-opening the old school that's just a few blocks from where we live. Next year it will house a 3-6 gifted school, and a K neighborhood school, but if they get 10 kids interested, they will do 1st grade too. So if I get Casper into gifted (which requires testing but I think she qualified with her scores in GA) and they add 1st grade, both kids could go to the school that's actually in our neighborhood. And given the boundary lines and the grassroots nature of the parent movement to open it, there's a good chance the culture will be much more our style than the current school (which is good, but not very hippie.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

First, I don't believe anything about RL's ratings after seeing a few articles debunking the 20 million listeners claims.

Second, according to my twitter feed, there are a few people out there listening for advertisers - to know who to write letters to.

So if there is an increase, I am not sure it would be for the reasons any advertiser would want.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have a great trip, Consuela!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Have fun, Consuela!

Oy. Gray Cat stepped in the water dish one morning. Wet floor, damp scared kitty. I need to get a ceramic bowl with a heavy thick bottom so he can't tip it over.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bleh, woke up covered in hives this morning. Haven't changed detergents or anything lately. Maybe I'm allergic to work.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Third night in a row of waking up at 3 or 3:30 and not being able to get back to sleep. So unfair -- shouldn't my body be trying to get as much sleep as possible before the baby comes??

In my experience, your body tries to acclimate you to sleeplessness in the third trimester by waking you up every two hours to pee and compressing your spine and internal organs to the point where no body pillow in the world can allow you to get comfortable.

Um. It's possible I didn't exactly enjoy pregnancy.
