Oh flea, I wish I were at my old desk! I had a ton of newer kids' books. But also, check out the Martha Speaks Read-Aloud Book Club? [link] It's multiple sessions to do at the library, but there might be some useful stuff for you there.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Heh, getting to the Ferry Building is almost as hard as getting Portland, lately.

I was out running an errand and saw not one but two people with tall wooden walking sticks. I also occasionally see strange people walking around with hiking poles.
I guess some people consider Chicago a foray into the wilderness?

Was one of them my dad?
Except he's in the actual wilderness (kind of) at the house. He just called me with a wildlife report (many turtles, a woodpecker he can't locate, and a chipmunk with a den under the porch. Plus the egrets and heron from the weekend.)

Eh, it's no weirder than driving an SUV in the city.

Hubby and I both dreamed of our old cat, Mondu, last night. He was just sitting next to me in a contemplative mode, blinking up at me with those big blue eyes. Hubby got the same thing. So odd, when the dead cats visit.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's a shame they're probably too young for Thurber's "The Night the Bed Fell on My Father." [link] You could have one of the kids play the aunt who warded off imaginary burglars by throwing shoes down the hall.
I accidentally set the crockpot on Warm rather than High. (My old one's settings were Warm, Low, High. This one's are Low, High, Warm. I may be eating something else for dinner.)

not your mom's socks.
So after months and years of answers to healthstuff that included "I don't know, sometimes this just happens" and "you worry too much," new!Doc seems to think oldEvilDoc missed a bunch of blinky signs and arrows pointing to hypothyroid, starting around HPF's birth. So we're trying some new stuff that might help. I am hopeful for the first time in a long time.
