Raising kids in chaotic environment,
Hey! They bring the chaos!
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I am posting from a bus. It has wifi! But no electrical plugs and it's a 7 hour trip. Im trying to conserve my time, but it's difficult. I would try to sleep,but I have the headache that will not quit. We are sat in a bus ration waiting for a connecting bus to get here....the net is my only salvation.
