The plumber who was supposed to be here between 1-5 will now supposedly be here between 7-9. Oooookay.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm so over being sick. I stayed home with the kids on Tuesday as both were sick. We had to go in on Wednesday because of an accreditation visit. I was supposed to be meeting with the accrediting team which is the reason I went in. The guy who was supposed to cover my class? Never showed up.
All of us are home sick again today. Ugh.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
ltc hasn't wanted anything but fruit and milk the last couple of days. Is this a normal, she's just going through a phase thing? She usually eats everything.

Because books.
Normal, sj. She could be getting a little congested, or heading into a growth spurt, or none of the above. Just keep offering other things and eventually she'll, uh, bite.

Thanks, Amy. I figured as much, and she is a little snuffly but not feverish. I just wanted a more experienced mother to tell me it was normal.

I did not pay my water bill. Not sure how I missed that, but now we have no water. awesome. DO I run to store for several gallons to force flush toilets and brush teeth and sink baths or do I admit this failure of adulthood to my parents and go spend the night.
Actually don't answer, I could not deal with the sighs and looks of failure. I will go buy water.

I swear, sj, there are months when Matilda has the metabolism of Spanish moss and seems to subsist on water and air. And then months where she needs the Hobbit meal schedule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, msbelle. Just a minor blip of adulthood!
I have been to the NPR Politics Podcast live! It was fun, and I think I'm going to have to listen again tomorrow to see if I can hear the edits. Domenico Montenaro seemed handsomer than he looks in pictures, for what that's worth.

Our wings are not tired.
Yep, both the extremes of children's eating habits and the ooops no water are normal parts of this life.

These things happen, msbelle. And I'd like to point out that in a lot of places they don't actually turn off your water when you don't pay your bill since people need water to live and all. I may have taken advantage of that on occasion. Also, it's good to have those gallon jugs to keep filled with water stashed around the house in case of emergency, once you get them and use the water for this little emergency.
