Sorry, Maria. That sucks.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Maria.
JZ, I don't think it's a bad thing to show children that we're affected by hard things in life. I think showing that life can make us weep on the floor, but then we get up the next day and keep going, can be useful to them. It would be lovely if Matilda never had to deal with problems that weighed her down so profoundly. But if she does, it will be good that she can remember her mother doing so as well, and getting through them. Sort of like what someone or other said about fairy tales with monsters. Fairy tales don't tell kids that the world has monsters—kids already know that. Fairy tales tell kids that monsters can be survived, or even beaten.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I wouldn't blame you for wanting to slam that door so hard it breaks their foot, Maria.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Maria. How frustrating!
5 minutes of Grassley and Hatch this morning was all I could take. Hornets and wasps.

Aargh Maria, that sucks.
I also just want to bury my head in the sand and not know what is going on in America.

Does Flake seriously want to run for president? Is that why he's not running for re-election? If so, he is seriously deluded.

What is even happening?

I think so. I also think he's not all that bright.
He knows he would have lost another bid for the Senate, so he decided to leave when his term is up.
He constantly rails against Trump or at least Trumpism, but votes for everything Trump wants, because he (Flake) is a hard right-wing ideologue who just knows how to talk nice.
I think he has presidential aspirations, and even though he claims a lot not to have the stomach for how the GOP is currently doing business, he constantly carries water for them, because he can't envision running without the national party's support.
He's a waste of viable organs.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Ugh, Maria. How frustrating.
Neither ltc or I slept much last night. Somehow I managed to get her off to school. TCG doesn't work a full day on Friday. So, he's picking her up. I'm currently drinking all the tea and cursing the fact that Grey's Anatomy isn't available on demand yet.
