Laura, go to the bathroom!
It reminds me of being in highschool and crushing on boys, except it is never boys anymore.
Now it's about jobs, bills, houses.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Reading the lice stories with gratitude that we have made it through this particular winter without any infestations.
I'm not sure what I expected of parenting, but wasn't this kind of time travel to the middle ages. Suddenly vermin, human waste products, economic deprivation, superstition, and loss of autonomy impinge on your life in unexpected and inescapable ways. It's like a self-imposed vassalage to your little Lords. And this, without much in the way of festival days.
Of course, it's also the greatest thing ever, with every single day with them better than all of the days that came before them. How can all of these things be true at once? It is the koan of parenthood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
eta: OK, that was weird. This post never showed up--until a made a new one.

ita, it's great to see you. Sorry nothing has improved on the paid front, though.

I think that's worthy of a double-post.
Jess, I just thought I'd mention I got my copy of E's book yesterday. Haven't had a chance to dive in yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

not your mom's socks.
hi ita - wonderful to see your pixels.
Last day of springbreak. I was not allowed to see the 'business letter' HPF was writing until she had me print it out. So this happened: [link]
Steph, your doctor's people and ita's doctor and my (former) doctor's office need a reminder that they're supposed to help people. That this is their job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is amazing, and sounds about right. (So does the other part, I guess....)
That sounds great, Suzi! I have got to go to the Grand Canyon one of these years.
