I'm sorry Kat. I wish you could kick back and get mothered for a while.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Do you ever go to a site and it just takes forever to load and you can see it's got nine layers of adsense widgets crawling all over it and just say, "Fuck it! It's crawling with widgets!" and bail?
Anyway, I'm glad we're widgetless.

I am okay. Just overwhelmed and uncertain. I don't know where we will be living come July 1st. I handle change just fine, but uncertainty? Not so much.

Uncertainty is super hard.

I think losing our nurse pushed my coping abilities past the point of coping into not coping.
I also spent $100 on shoes today. But not for me, but for my growing children. Sigh. And we set off rockets at the science center in Santa Ana which was amazingly fun.
Also, I'm almost at the weight I was before I got pregnant and yesterday I was less than my driver's license said I was. So that's interesting.

Uncertainty with two kids is the worst.
If it were just me, I could figure out something. But it's me, my partner and our two kids.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I would rather have daily change than any uncertainty. Uncertainty shuts me down so very fast and then I can not function. I am so sorry you are having to deal with it right now.
Also, can you please tell K that I got my thank you notes and I loved them!! Also, you guys were the total inspiration to introduce Donors Choose to my school and lots of teachers are using it now!

Oh, I'm so glad! Donors Choose is wonderful! I have a DC-grant for paper for next year because we don't have a line item for paper [link] which is odd. It's like.... hmmm, I need to pole dance for...um...paper? Sad and aggravating and perhaps adding to my stress level.

We were just put on a monthly copy limit at our school. Teachers and paras get 250 copies a month. If we make adouble sided copy, it counts as two copies. So for a class of 25 kids, they each get 10 pages PER MONTH. It's ridic.

No damned money for workbooks for each kid to cut back on the copy paper use, but no damned money to pay for the paper to make the copies you need to make. Such a clusterfuck.
