this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

ltc has walking pneumonia.

I guess it's bad parenting to yell "Not sick, my ass! In your face, tiny cutie!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

She's still screaming she is not sick every time I mention it, and she is livid she can't go to school tomorrow either.

Our wings are not tired.

My sister had walking pneumonia a couple times when we were kids and I remember it being super frustrating.

I had it last spring. I should have known because my main symptom was also puking. And no wonder she has been so tired!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I guess it's bad parenting to yell "Not sick, my ass! In your face, tiny cutie!"

No, it's not good; thinking it really loudly, though? Perfectly normal parental response.

There are three places for sale and at least two for rent in my immediate neighborhood right now. Jim and I went to an open house for one of them (boy howdy nooooo) and I do want to walk through one of the rentals, because I've never been inside a house that sold for a million dollars and I'm so curious: are the finishes that much nicer? Is there a robot that collects the laundry?

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

Gud - thank you for checking in. You are not on the master contact list. If you want to be, you can email me the info. And yes I echo Laura's point that your grown children should be doing at least half of the household chores. Leaving the other half for you and your wife to split.

Were you able to reach out to your company's EAP?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor ltc, and poor you, sj!!!

If she's the one that's sick why is she bouncing around while I can't keep my eyes open?

'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"

I guess it's bad parenting to yell "Not sick, my ass! In your face, tiny cutie!"

This is why I think it's a good thing I didn't become a parent.

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

Timelies all!

Sorry that ltc is sick, sj, yet still full of energy.
