My dream home is more or less the family cabin on Lake Huron. Except winterized, with an updated kitchen, an outdoor shower, a hot tub, and minus Mom's cousins' drama. Maybe a slightly sandier beach - our end of the point is pretty rocky.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
How does one go about finding a reliable babysitter when one doesn't know anyone in that age range? I've asked around a bit, but no luck.

Moms list?
Nextdoor?
We found a service called moms best friend for the nanny help I used for a couple of years.

There is one whole person in my town on Nextdoor. I'll look up the other ones.

Ugh, I have too much to do so my brain has decided to concentrate on NOTHING. Not on brain, not on.

I think my dream home would be a small bungalow, with big windows, hardwood floors, and arched doorways between the rooms. (Also apparently white trim and cabinets based on the pictures that appealed to me most.)

My dream home structure is fairly flexible - depends on my mood as to what I want. But the overriding need is a full time cook, housekeeper, butler, and landscaper. And maybe a cabana boy.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
A sign that maybe I'm a little on edge (besides the 911 thing). I decided to get Cool Ranch Doritos from the snack machine across the way (even though I was thinking about trying to eat healthier, guess that starts tomorrow!) I pay for them, and they get stuck, so I pay again, and I get one, but I've paid for two, so I pay again, and nothing comes out, and I've paid for three, so I pay AGAIN. I end up with FOUR Cool Ranch Doritos, when I only sort of wanted one. So that's kind of gross, and financially not the smartest, because I spent a bunch of $$ I didn't want to spend because I was ENRAGED that the machine kept stiffing me.
I think it's a good thing it's Friday. I need to chill out.

Rotten vending machine! Also, rotten area code!
Me? Kind headache-y and tired after giving blood yesterday.

Okay, that is outright adorable.
{{{msbelle}}} I hope the day flies by and you have a restful evening.
He said that it was his eighth call that day, and it was only 11:00 a.m., and that was just him, that there were other officers doing it as well.
Wow, what a waste of resources. Has changing the area code been addressed as a solution?
Woo! for no incision cancer!
It looks like I might have to drive for a basketball tournament tonight. Ugh. DH wouldn't ask if he wasn't desperate. The kids are great and all, but it is in Miami and the drive there would be rush hour. Ugh.
