Juliana, seconding what meara said. Kids create so much more chores. I never expect to be at the end of our list.
This weekend was my mother’s birthday and TCG and my 13th wedding anniversary! We’ll have been together 19 years this December. We went to a play by ourselves (True West) and then went to dinner with Mom, stepdad, and ltc. Yesterday we went and looked for some furniture pieces at a couple consignment/antique stores.
Happy anniversary, sj. Yes, kids create so many chores!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and happy birthday to Hil!
My family took me out for breakfast at my favorite restaurant in town, and then my kids made me a really terrific key lime pie.
Happy Belated Birthday, Jessica!!!
Happy Birthday, Hil!!!
The Council of Dads
JAR was in the TV adaptation of that, wasn't he?
Happy anniversary, sj!
Happy birthday, Hil!
Happy belated, Jess!
Happy Belated Birthday Jess! Happy Birthday Hil!
Happy Anniversary sj!
Happy Birthday, Hill, and belated Birthday, Jess!
Nilly and Shir, it's good to see your pixels. Nilly, I think reminding people that hard is hard, no matter what's happening elsewhere, is a good thing.
need to tap into a little bit of Dad energy
After my Dad died I kept sending Christmas cards to his surviving old buddies. Partly because he'd have wanted them remembered, and partly because they'd send me cards with little notes that were absolutely brimming with Dad energy. And I needed that. Still do, but people born around 1926 are a little thin on the ground these days. Oh well. It's getting around the time when I put on my
Escanaba in the Moonlight
dvd. It's not so much the Dad energy (although there's a fair bit of that) as it is the very distinctive Upper Peninsula of Michigan accents throughout the movie, which was Dad's accent at home.
ETA: I'm sorry for your loss, Matt.
