Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After a delightful lie in the hammock and snack on the porch, I turned on the TV, and Firefly is on, and I just caught "I'll be in my bunk." Good times.

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

Thanks Teppy. Last time I had looked on that site, the examples I found related mostly to much younger children, but either I'm looking with different eys now or you linked to different pages - but these look very helpful. They are printing right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I may have linked to pages that were just information-ish about children with ADHD, which wouldn't have been as specific as stuff about 504 plans/IEPs. I wish I knew more stuff off the top of my head, but my wheelhouse is more adults with ADD, rather than kids.

Oh, here's another expertise-I-don't-have question: If a house is for sale, googling the address should turn something up right?

I owuld think so, Jesse.

Steph - that is part of the crux of my problem. He is in school but also a psuedo-adult.

Correct, Jesse.

So I have hardware cloth to block the entrance to the crawlspace where the undetermined animal is getting in. But it was $17 for tin snips, so I'll try to borrow some from my sister.

On the walk back from the hardware store (I LOVE having a hardware store I can walk to!) I passed the grand opening of the new business in the neighborhood: a kettle corn shop/production facility. They were giving out samples, and I grabbed a small package of the sea salt/caramel, which is very good. They also have savory types, like spicy chipotle lime, and BBQ, and so forth.

I'm not sure that a purely retail shop would survive here, but if they're also using it as their production facility, it ought to do okay. Nice to see, anyway.

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

That sounds like a nice addition to the neighborhood.

I napped a bit and I think that may have been a mistake.

My cat Shadow loves graham crackers. I did not know this about him. I'm happily munching on one, and then there's the most delicate paw on my knee, a pathetic mew, and giant yellow eyes in a fuzzy black face. And he happily crunched up several small bits. Odd little cat.

OMG, a popcorn store in the neighborhood would be my undoing. Our hardware store does give out free popcorn on the weekend, though!

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

I have spent most of the day transporting and unpacking boxes and throwing shit away. I get a break now, right?

ON the plus side, morning was spent celebrating a certain girl's 11th year. It's not every year your young lass turns 11, as Hagrid would say.
