Go Amy!
I am working from home, and am actually probably doing as much work as I would have done in the office -- while watching TV and doing laundry! Sweet.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo Amy!
Happy birthday Aurelia!
I got a text from the babysitter this morning asking where the kids' winter coats were. The winter coats I hadn't bought yet because it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS COLD IN OCTOBER. MomFail.

Because books.
I love working at home. I can write copy on my couch, with tea, in slippers. And yes to the TV on and laundry in, too.
brenda and ChiKat got the most awesome tiny hat headbands at Anderson's last week (week before, whatever) for Halloween. I wish I had bought one. I have nothing this year.

Is D. in a 4 now, Jessica? I have a Lands End squall parka in a 4T I could send you. Um, once I buy a winter coat that actually fits my son. Signed, it was 35 degrees this morning, which my children named "puffy coat cold."
They think they know what's in store, what's to come - they've only just begun. (To know actual winter.)

I wish I had some tiny Halloween costume item for this weekend -- just like a nose or ears or something.
Cowboy hat. ijs.

Ooh, that would be fab. But I can also hit the consignment shops this weekend.

Gud! I was just thinking of Leif the other day, when the video of the toddler who kept climbing out of his crib and then went for the camera that was recording it. I thought, "They're going to have to bungee-cord a baby gate over that crib."
I am full of gronk, because after the baseball game, I went to bed, and, as usual, started to read a chapter or so to get to sleep. However, the book I was reading was by a certain Buffista who just got a review in the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. It's her fault I was up until 3.

Happy birthday, aurelia!
I'm not Catholic anymore, so I hope it's okay that I keep responding to "May the Force be with you" with "and also with you". Because I don't think I can stop.
Good luck with work, Gud, and with handling your super smart kids (my older brother and I were in sort of the same situation with me skipping a grade and it caused some friction but not too much, I think. We ended up going to different middle and high schools, which helped).
That sounds crazy dramatic, Sue. Good for you being undercaffeinated, i guess?

I'm sorry, Ginger! Except I'm not because it didn't put you to sleep. Hee.
