Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle, did I miss where you knocked him off his skateboard? Because nope.

It's a definite Learning Experience. Hopefully one that teaches prudence.

Dreamt that my dad was using a forklift to pile cars around the house. Mom said a neighbor was threatening to ruin our business, and that was funny because this forklift stuff was just letting off steam, no one was paying for it. He finally stopped around dawn, said it had been fun.

Better than dreaming about spreadsheets, I guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aw, poor Mac! I split my chin open swimming when I was about 10 or so. It wasn't fun.

I am a horrible parent.

Nope.

I am a horrible parent.

Nah. That's just normal stuff. I remember this one time I was talking with a pediatrician. He said that when he started he would secretly feel judgemental about the parents with some of the injuries that he say. Then he had a child and one day he had his child on his shoulders and walked him into a ceiling fan. He was never judgemental again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It was more the wishing bad upon him for being an obstinate oppositional child and then him getting hurt. I know I did not will it into happening and I know I never wished actualphydical harm to him, but in the moment it sure felt like karma was saying "ok bitch, we got your bad energy right here.".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Often, with doctors, I comfort myself with the knowledge that they've always seen worse.

Y'all, I'm almost feeling sorry for Spicer.

A deflated and exhausted Sean Spicer, who continues to read reports that his job is in jeopardy but is working 12 hours every day in his office, huddled in his office with Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

Holy cow, this episode of Hoarders has a woman who talks to the camera through her ventriloquism dummies.
