Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Burrell, so much ~ma for your sister.

Nice haircut, -t!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

-t, that haircut looks AMAZING on you.

Burrell, keeping L in my thoughts.

Noah starts Boy Scouts tomorrow, which we are only agreeing to because of his unflagging enthusiasm and interest. The upside? Neither Katie nor I can be strong-armed into volunteering! I'm practicing saying, "Sorry. I'd love to, but I'm gay."

He does look adorbs in his little militaristic uniform.

K put Grace in a skort, but because she was mad at her, she didn't realize that it was a skort. Grace mermaided and had problems all morning, even on the walk to school. So bad.

Noah had an accident yesterday at school. When we came to pick him up, he knew he was in trouble so he went to the bathroom and attempted to change. But failed. So he came out of the bathroom with one shoe on and NO PANTS OR UNDERWEAR. Keep in mind, it's a california campus and there are bungalows, so he is standing on the playground half naked.

Noah's gonna be bullied. I think he needs Krav.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Looking good, -t!

Continued best thoughts to your sister, Burrell.

All of that, while boring, should be filed under, "Why I Won't Win Mom of the Year."

Also, I dyed my hair (and my ears, my neck, my shoulder, a bit of my forehead and my right hand). Blargh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

None of that was boring, Kat! What's "mermaided" mean?

Continuing job~ma for Jilli and Amy.

Someone send me some health~ma to get me over this cold. It's dragged on for a week now. Enough already; I've got shit to do that doesn't involve dripping and sneezing!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

That's a great cut on you, -t!

All the words are spelled correctly, yet it fails to make sense.....

And yet I am pretty sure there are people who still have grudges against me for not being a note-sender. I should send thank you cards in the mail, but I just don't operate that way in my brain. I try to be mindful that other people aren't spacetoasters and like being thanked, so my thank yous usually happen in person, via email, or sometimes a random gift.

When I get thank you notes, I almost find them perplexing. I'm a fixer. Once I've completed a thing, I'm on to the next thing, and thinking about the thing after that.
