Ah shit. This last sneezing fit makes me think cold, not just whatever. Maybe I didn't escape xmas travels unscathed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I pulled the trigger on the butcher CSA. If I could only find someone to bring cream to my door I might never need to grocery shop again. Anyway, the place where I pick up my allotment turns out to be a brewery. With a tasting room. This'll be interesting.

Kat, you might want to wait on the Red Bull 'til the ex is pulling up in the driveway, just in case. Maybe a pixie stick or two.

Oh, also, I didn't realize until I was leaving the locker room that I was wearing my Joss Whedon is My Master T-shirt and carrying my 42 towel. I may not be as stealthy in my geekdom as I like to think.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

One of my cousins just announced she is pregnant with her second and is due in September. It just feels a little early to make that announcement, though it is her choice and all.

Given that I want to punch the kid in the face, you are probably right.

My kids are now up an hour past their bedtime and they won't go to sleep and I don't have the heart to force them because then the other kid will be alone. Tomorrow is going to be a fucking nightmare for my kids.

So the kid has asked when his dad is going to pick him up at least 5 times in the past hour. I may lose it soon.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, also, I didn't realize until I was leaving the locker room that I was wearing my Joss Whedon is My Master T-shirt and carrying my 42 towel. I may not be as stealthy in my geekdom as I like to think.

Heh.

Honestly, I'd put all the kids to bed (it's a comforting routine!) and meet the dad outside for a chat when he deigns to show up.

Because books.

How old is this kid, Kat?

Also, I think I'd do as sarameg said. Either that or give him a coloring book in the other room and put the twins to bed.

Double heh!
