Sparky, sounds like a good time for Problem parent to introduce his daughter to Classic Rock during her free time this summer, starting with "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Stones.
Yay for hot water and found purses!
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I ever went to camp with existing friends! That would have been nice.
Tomorrow I have a massage and game night at a friend's, Sunday possibly church then band, Monday no plans until a blood donation appointment, which maybe I'm going to move so I can go to an afternoon movie.

My plan is to arrive in B'more 1/27.
Phone interview went well. They were hoping for in person interviews next week, but the best I can do is skype/facetime. I hope that will work for them. HR person like my "energy". yay caffeine!
parents are, indeed, the worst. how is this guy telling 3 parents, "hey, my daughter only really likes one of your kids, sorry." Alas - he can't stop the rest of you from being actual parents and telling your children the reality of what happened and working from there. I might have to be real real and let me kid know that this other kid is a giant brat.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What are people doing this weekend?
Grocery shopping, cleaning the house (esp. the bathroom) so it'll be ready for Tim after his surgery (which is on Tuesday).

More proof that my roommate is actually an alien: after nearly two weeks of no hot water, she did not immediately take a shower after the plumbers left. I am only barely pausing to make an entry here.
(Although I've kept showering/bathing at Inman Oasis in the interim.)

Daughter has been a fun goofball in all my interactions with her, so she's not the one I'm going to avoid.
Teppy, good luck getting to Tuesday. And thru Tuesday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's always the parents.

The one time I went to camp with a friend I was very disapproving of how much she was homesick and crying whilst I was thrilled to be gone for two weeks. I think we were 11?
I am about to go to a doctor appointment. So of course the thing that was hurting so much I almost couldn't sleep last night, is now feeling basically fine.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Classroom birthday party tomorrow and then possible school organized play date on Sunday, if we're not snowed in.
