I think I would go with "is", meara. And YES, lumpia is delicious! I always get a big order of it for potlucks and parties - and never see any leftovers!
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Sigh..it's official. Mr. S has been disenrolled from his preschool due to his behavior. He still has PEP, but I don't know what we're going to do otherwise.

What is even happening?
I'm so sorry, Sheryl.

I'm sorry, Sheryl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Sheryl, I'm sorry! Good luck finding the next thing. (My boss's kid goes to a special school pretty far away for kids with behavioral issues, but she's in school.)

Saw my aunt and uncle on my moms side for the first time in 10 years or more (I think I saw her last 9 years ago; him it's been even longer) and the first few things my aunt said to me included "is your hair naturally curly?" (Yes,, has been forever...) Oh, you don't wear glasses anymore?" (I had eye surgery, but even before that wore contacts?) and "your skin is clear!" (Um...I am 42?? And I don't think I had more zits than any other teenager?). It's making me laugh, just how stuck at like 12 I apparently am, in her brain.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm sorry, Sheryl. I hope you can find another solution soon.
Oh, meara, I know people like this. It can become difficult when they insist on keep talking to the version-of-you that they remember.

OMG, why on a Friday do I have a meeting with fancy faculty members at 9, a meeting with a donor AND her lawyer (and I never meet with donors!) at 1, AND a candidate to interview at 2:30! This day is going to be brutal.

Aw, meara, you're the wee sprog whose growing up is unpossible!
Yeah, that's way too much, Jesse. All morning (I'm barely out of bed, but still) I have been thinking "5 days is to many days to work" and I just remembered that I took Monday off so I haven't even worked 5 days! It's still too much.

I kind of hate a short week, because it's jammed full of the same amount of stuff as a regular week! I'm actually thinking that next year I should take this whole week off -- mostly I want Tuesday off, but a three-day week somehow seems even worse!
