Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think you handled things just fine, Rebecca. I also have issues with language and think it's powerful and you need to be mindful of how you are using it, and not just curse words, so I would have made it into a teachable moment just like you did.

So today was pretty good but so very busy. Interviewing job candidates on campus, then piano lessons and then swim lessons (both of those for kids) and then just swimming because we were at the pool. And now crazy tired. Poor DH is still at work although he said he was leaving a while ago. phooey.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Just skimmed and saw that Suzi has a new puppy, which made me grin! We were on vacation back East until yesterday, so I just picked up our foster pup today; another foster parent was watching her while we were gone. She really needs to find her forever home. She's darling and cute but super high energy and not good with cats, which is stressing our felines out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I will decide what is ok to be played/said in my presence. I've always done that.

Fair enough.

Just back from visiting Princess Tickybox, who is at home YAY! She's tired and kinda woozy, but still hyper and goofy, just like always. It was nice to hear her yammer away about Minecraft and vampires.

How're Plei and her DH?

Incredibly tired, kinda numb, and glad to be home with the kiddo. They're under orders to text Pete and I if they need anything.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am so in need of a job with sick days and PTO. I'm trying hard to ignore the fact that I have to go to work in the morning, because this is already a short week with the holiday and I can't afford not to.

Paul's asleep in Lilly's bed, and this is actually worse than when they send you home with a newborn I think.

I'm glad y'all are home, PMM. Wish you could stay there to recover a bit.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Plei, sorry you have to go to work during an already stressful time. Wish I could help from afar.

I woke up with my brain spinning. I'm working on an R&D project for my school in creating a file of data for student use and teacher use around goal setting. It's exhausting me.

Our wings are not tired.

Hugs, love, and wishes for strength, Plei. My parents went through this when I was growth spurting. It was way harder on them than me; that's a huge understatement. A couple thousand miles away so useless for local support, but if there is any thing I can do, be an ear, manage an onerous task, don't hesitate.
