As I am now a SAHM with school-aged children, I have to say that the level of cleaning my house needs seems to be escalating (and it's not a mental thing with me, because my guilt is not wired that way). Children make a lot of mess when they're not in before-school and after-school. I could vacuum every other day. (I don't, but I probably should.) And the bathroom, oy.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I have made a doctor's appointment. And my coughing is causing coworkers to ask me if I'm dying. I think I'll go home after lunch and work from there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oof. Feel better, shrift!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We do 3 loads a week. all of our sheets and towels are white, so that's one. Then colored and black clothes. We hang-dry a lot of stuff and fold all the rest that day. Leaving laundry out just means it gets covered in cat and dog hair (and possible bonus cat vomit) before we get to wear it.

I'm actually feeling better today than earlier this week, so I'm amused that it's only today that coworkers are all "um, go home?"

Go home and get some rest, shift. Don't you work for the big G? Is so, then we are pseudo coworkers.

Romney probably cheated at the debate. From Wonkette:
Oh Look Here Is Cheating Cheater Mitt Romney Pulling Illegal Notes Out At The Debate (Updated)
My, that takes some brass. We checked. No pre-written notes were allowed.
Anyone miss the good old days of George W. Bush’s “bullet proof vest”?
Update! The Romney campaign claims the object in question is an incredibly starched handkerchief, which Romney unaccountably used to cover the paper at his podium. If anything it just makes too much sense!
Update Again! Here, via a Sam Stein tweet, is Mitt Romney wiping his nose with what looks like a paper napkin, which would be stiffer than a handkerchief, it is true! So we are now willing to stipulate that it is possible Mitt Romney is not a cheating cheater, in this one instance.
But he totally still could be.
Edit to add "probably"

Ok, but was having notes actually against the rules? And really, what is one page of notes going to do for you? Not much. I really think its a non-issue.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it is against the rules, meara.
I can believe it is a handkerchief, but would I be totally surprised that he brought in notes? NO. I don't think he really has a high regard for rules in general and specifically not when it applies to him.

Yeah, probably.
