I skipped and skimmed a bunch.
I'm in a ton of pain. Had a late night at work today (grading until about 10:30), and my wheelchair battery died (again) and I had to push it up a hill, and I'm still coughing, and pretty much just everything hurts and I wish it would stop.
Oh Hil, that sucks! I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I only have a cat story.
We came home from the grocery store and my children were OUTDOORS in the LIGHT of the SUN trying to coax the kitties to like them with food and water and nice sounds. I am astounded.
We had storms tonight, and they wouldn't come stay in the house, but there's lots of places for the kitties to hide, like on the front porch, with the food, so I'm not too worried, though Aidan was sure they were going to be Deluged! Or possibly just get their paws wet, and kitties Do Not Like that! In case we didn't know.
Always good to get confirmation your children aren't vampires.
Hugs to everyone, especially sj, my sister in mothering cranky preschoolers.
Thanks, juliana. We had a rough week, and yesterday ltc just started crying about how she misses her old teachers. My heart was breaking, and I don't know how to make it better.
{{moms}} Yes, the heartbreak when your kids hurt never ends no matter how old they get.
It was an arrow to the heart the first time Nick and Kara said they hated me. By the time Aidan got around to it, though, it was pretty old hat.
sj love, received and replied.
I'm working. I do proofreading for the court reporting company my little sister works for. It's an easy way to make a little extra cash from home.
