Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Love to you and yours, msbelle. I'm sorry for your loss.
Raising kids in chaotic environment,
Hey! They bring the chaos!
Burrell, perhaps, we should just sit in a corner today and hug each other.
mac is home and knows. long hug and some tears, but he is holding it together. wants some alone time.
I have read about children raised in chaotic environments, and a stable home location with two competent and engaged parents - no matter how much the floor needs to be vacuumed - is usually not what they mean by "chaotic."
::hugs msbelle::
Sorry msbelle. Best wishes and hang in there vibes.
Juliebird,
Good grief.
I suppose that second list is more fundamental, but the first list is not insignificant.
I have found that it almost never pays to get caught up in the big-picture issues, because all you can do is today. I mean, what you do today leads toward the big picture, but be kind to yourself.
I got my father a stupid sweater for his birthday (I mean, it's fine, but so uninspired), so now I have to wrap it so we can go eat barbecue.
