Thanks Kate!! It turns out my Nashville to Dc flight is delayed too, so I’m fine. Annoyed I am getting in so late but fine!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Glad you'll get there tonight!

I did I made it!

Also not sure what kind of vortex TSA ha in Nashville but every 30 seconds they were calling out for someone leaving something at security. Including one where they were like “you left your…cake? Fudge? Whatever this is we are going to eat it if you don’t come get it”. And then a single shoe, which I just couldn’t figure out at all

Our wings are not tired.

So distressed about leaving their fudge they ran back fast and dropped their shoe!

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

Timelies all!

It's been a horrible weekend for the most part. Mr. S wouldn't brush his teeth after saying he would, and had a meltdown when I took the stuffed animal he was using to stall. Totally trashed his room. Then I had an awful night. I kept waking up because I was completely congested. Today's had its ups and downs. We met my MIL at a park near her so Mr. S could ride his bike(with no training wheels!) . Ended up with another meltdown when I was trying to give him his afternoon meds. I tried to move away from him when he was kicking and hitting me, but he kept following me to do it. Eventually got him in the car where he wouldn't buckle himself in. Now we're home, where he got his meds.(He claims it's too big, so I cut it in half and he took it.)

Still have a while before Gary gets back. sigh...

I’m so sorry Sheryl. That sounds incredibly rough.

I’m staying with my bff this weekend and her six year old and my god I am so glad I do not have a child as a solo parent. This kid is exhausting. Exhauuuuusting.

Today is a day to celebrate the birth of Tom Scola! We are so grateful to have you in our lives, Tom. I hope that this year is the very best year yet.

Sheryl, I am sorry it is so difficult and exhausting. I'm sure it is more than doubly so when Gary is away. I wish I had some actual advice, but I do believe it will get easier as Mr. S grows and learns to control his actions more effectively.

Yes, even when they're being good, they are exhausting. Right now ltc is diagramming various pieces of furniture in the house for her journal. I have no idea why, but it is keeping her busy. She is sick again and is overly energetic on steroids and nebulizer treatments.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. Mass shooting in Sacramento.

6 dead, 9 injured.
