Timelies all!
Speaking of children, Gary and Mr. S are getting back from Florida today. Mr. S is a challenging child frequently, and we try our best with him. I still need to work on not letting every little thing bug me.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Things I don't have this morning: Fever.
Things I do have this morning: An appetite.
So far, so good.
If you've also got power, water, and your luggage you are doing quite well!
ltc is so stubborn.
Apparently I said "I want to do it myself!" enough when I was that age that my mother still quotes it back to me. The upside? That independent streak is a bonus later on.
Is there someplace you can order from so you don't wear yourself out preparing food?
Yay! We have a new great-niece! There were 6 great-nephews and only 1 great-niece, but now there's one more. Beckmeyers are going to take over the world.

I remind myself daily that this will serve her well later. She's also the kind of kid at 3 years old who just matter of factly tells a school friend that I have crutches because they help me walk when the friend asked. Matter of factly, no big deal.

That's what I told myself with Emmett, a very willful child. And it turned out to be true.
a very willful child
Of course he was. Giving a kid a Darth Vader helmet is gonna encourage a turn towards the dark side.

First of all, that was his Godmother's Darth Vader helmet. Second, he was already very attracted to the dark side. His first toy purchase was a gigantic Sauron who said "We shall build an army worthy of Mordor!" His favorite Batman character was The Joker. And he thought Draco was misunderstood.
Yesterday was my last PT session (because insurance says so) and the therapist really made me work. Then I had to go to work and be on my feet all day, and again today. Tonight I was faced with doing 5 pages of at-home exercises (plus the 2 I'd been doing) and I so did not want to. I just finished and I feel I deserve a better prize than the task of cleaning the litter box.
mac not getting off work until after 11 on weeknights is going to kill me.
I am already always tired.
You deserve all the prizes, aurelia.
You too, msbelle.
