These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

ita, I'm posting this for you here (repeat of facebook). With no prompting, Noah said, "I'm still learning division. It's hard though. Like things that don't go in evenly are odd, right?" I said, no, there are just leftovers. Like 10 divided by 8 leaves two, I told him. He contemplated that while Grace and I practiced sight words (I'm the most unfun mom ever).

He picked up Grace's number cards, hid one behind his back and said, "Guess what mystery number I have?" I randomly guessed twelve and then he said, "I'll give you a hint: four groups of five."

He sure had 20. He cracks me up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Genius!

I think not. I think he is just mathy in a way that is pretty funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But they are sitting in the messages, so maybe some day!

Woo hoo! I will live in hope.

Kat--I'm clinging to my Looper theory. Also he's nuttily cute, and you are a hysterical "what, me, a teacher?" mother.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The mathiness is awesome. Because it will work well in other areas. Owen is middling in math--Liv seems to gravitate more towards numbers. Which is fine by me. Owen's more big picture than details, but has the survival instincts of a cheeseburger. Liv--she is...formidable.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Wish me luck sleeping tonight, y'all. I've taken a benadryl - we'll see if that helps any.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Good luck, Anne!

I've just seen a rental listing with "POSSIBLE CAT" among the amenities. It's probably just a clumsy way of saying "cats ok" but I'm sort of tempted to Google the address and see if Schrodinger lives there.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Anne, you can take 2 Benadryl safely, if need be.

Thank you, Teppy. I will do just that.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

( I swear, I just eat and booze my way through trips)

This is pretty much all I do on trips. This is the reason for my trips!

I take 2 Benadryl every night to sleep.
