Work has been crazeballs for me, too.

I think it won, this week.

On the plus side, I didn't actually shriek like a banshee at any of the people who asked me to do stuff.

Mac has declared rain delays boring.

He would be correct.

Aims, that call is never a good one to make and it does feel like shit, mainly because he STILL won't get what he needs probably.

In California, as a mandated reporter, just going to a counselor to document is not enough. If I suspect anything I have to call CPS. Going to an administrator is not enough and I can't report it to school police, but to regular police instead.

In my family, if you didn't find a way to...well, not cheat, but exercise the rules to their full elasticity, you weren't doing it right. Hence in college Midnight Croquet, I was deemed the perfect person to be the Gremlin in Perpetuity. Previously, it was a rotating role. But I was too much of a PITA.

I don't much like board games. Completely unrelated.

Nails done. Borrowing neighbor's red wagon (it's the SUV of radio flyers: all terrain tires, removable sidewalls, extra ergo handle!) for market tomorrow. She's off running the People's Preakness. I'm gonna buy plants. And a lot more strawberries. I went through a quart and a pint this week.

Scrappy, enjoy your damn weekend and let this slide off. Aim, it's better to hand it off to those whose job it is to do the eval you are not trained to do. If you are mistaken, sure, hurt feelings, a hassle for those involved and animus. However, if you are correct, you are aiding in preventing further tragedy to a life. On the scales, you know how that balances out.

So maybe mac and I will go see Avengers. Parental child appropriate meter from anyone who has seen it?

There's a LOT of fighting and punching, and a kind of escalating round robin argument where everyone's on a hair trigger and sniping at everyone else. Would that be of concern regarding Mac? I'd say it's preteen-safe in general, but most preteens haven't been through the kind of stress Mac just went through.

Playing board games with Hubby's family was always fraught. They would routinely pass up a chance to win a game if there was a chance to send another person back. I was scolded once by my MIL for skipping an opportunity to send my sister in law back to the beginning in exchange for actually getting a piece across the finish line.

Hubby was raised by wolves.

One character (in the argument scene mentioned above) mentions his unsucccessful suicide attempt .

Thor makes a joke about his brother being adopted.

Thor makes a joke about his brother

Yeah, it's in response to another character pointing out how horrible his brother is.

So, I don't know.

Oh, yeah, I forgot I cringed at that line.
