Timelies all!

Well, this has been the Mondayist of Mondays. Gary's on a business trip, so I took the little guy to daycare, where I was asked where our collage was. Collage? I know nothing about this. The teacher says she told Gary last week, but he said nothing about it. Then I had a dentist visit for a regular checkup/cleaning. Except I needed deep cleaning in some areas. They numbed those areas, but now I have sore spots that make chewing on one side interesting.

To top it all off, since I got to work at 9:30 I had to park in the garage a few blocks from my building. Of course the pouring rain shows up when I leave work for the day, and I end up drenched by the time I get to my car. I don't even want to talk about the traffic...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sheryl, I stand with you in dental soreness. I'm thinking about mac and cheese for dinner.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sheryl, your child is like 1 or not even, yes? I woulda thought the bullshit arts-and-crafts homework would wait until they were at least solidly in the fingerpainting years, and I say that as an almost absurdly arts-and-craftsy type person!

Collage? Isn't the kid 1? How can they already be needing arts and crafts and homework and shit, Jesus!

No, no, it's a collage =about= the little guy that gary and/or I were supposed to make.

Oh that's a load of ridiculous bullshit. Collage you make? Why??? If I want to be a scrapbook er I can. And wouldn't give it to the daycare.

Because of course you have nothing else to do with a tiny kid in the house than to make a collage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why are they allowed to assign you homework?

Jesus Christ, fucking Facebook. I am trying to be respectful of other people's opinions and get to actual facts and have, at least, polite discussions. But goddamn, it's difficult. And I just end up feeling depressed and drained.
