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

It was a quiet night.

Thank goodness his grandparents are gone for a week and he does not have keys to their house or their garage code.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, crap. I forgot I had a jury duty summons for today and was supposed to call in last night and now I'm at work and the card with my badge number is at home. Argh.

I'm sorry Mac has put you through so much, msbelle. I admire your strength.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, so NOW Mac tweets to you? Jeez Louise, I want to Zen slap him a time or two. (That's not a violent slap, just one to forcibly wake one.)

This is a necessary part of hitting bottom, which in his case involves starting to act as an adult member of his family.

I survived a play date with one of ltc's friends from school and her mom.

What is even happening?

Maybe he can fashion some sort of rudimentary lean-to out of his vaping kit and game console?

Matt, you're the best.

msbelle, keep on doing what you're doing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Today was Mr. S's first day at his new preschool, and I've been stressed out about it. Turns out I was right to worry. The aftercare teacher told me he opened the gate from the playground three times, and he overturned chairs in the classroom. They have safety concerns, and I understand that, but I'm afraid he's going to be kicked out before the first week is done. We don't have any other options.

(Called the doctor for Sam's meds, but haven't heard anything yet)

Shouldn't it be the school's responsibility to make sure kids can't open gates.

Thrive to spite them

I would think making sure the gates are secured is the school's job. Also do they know he's been without his medication? Hopefully they will be understanding about that.
