Oh man, we already serve 3 different kinds of cranberry sauce but I might need to make this later. Cranberry season is never over in my house.

We basically have 3 kinds of midwives:

In most states anyone can call themselves a midwife. Certified nurse midwives have actual training like midwives in the UK (and I assume Canada) but in most states they can't do home births.

This is my (selfish) reaction, too. "No, my senator! You can't have her."

Thank you! I felt that way when season 2 originally aired and no one ever agrees with me. I like first season Dean. That other guy sucks, though.

MCPS ties Spring Break to Easter. It's either the week before or after and either way students have off both Good Friday and Easter Monday.

This really doesn't surprise me. Some of the worst Islamophobia I've ever heard in person is from people who work for MCPS.

No, see that would involve logic and limit the amount that the school schedule disadvantages poor students. We can't have that.

There are plenty of people who are upset about the rising Muslim population, especially upcounty. Unfortunately, just because people vote Democrat doesn't make them open minded. One of the side effects of running for school board being so expensive is that the status quo is very deeply entrenched.

Ugh, in my experience, HR people are the worst. I am so sorry. I have no words of wisdom but you have all my sympathy. Is it realistic for you to look for a new position?

You probably got way, way more sleep before you had a kid, too. How old is your kiddo? So far I think month 4 was the worst/hardest.

This. I'm disappointed that I'm going to lose my VIB status at the end of the year. Yes, I spend a lot of my disposable income on make up but, for me, it's a hobby that makes me happy.

I'd say their XL is equivalent to a size 14 (most styles come in XXL, too).

You weren't old enough to be downloading music in 2000, were you? It was way easier to illegally download music in 2000 than it is now. It was also way more work to legally purchase music.

If anything people would say #theCape and leave the Cod off entirely. (Also, because of this post we are having cod for dinner. I'm really suggestible when it comes to food.)

I wonder if it would feel different since the idea originated with students who wanted to acknowledge her rather than the administration trying to erase their wrongs?

"Fuck The Teachers: Education Reform Means All Y'all Suck Balls And Corporations Are The Bomb-Diggity,"

There were still all white projects in Boston as late as 1988.

It's completely disgusting. It's absolutely bizarre to me that the Obama administration is banging on about universal pre-K while ignoring that we do not having universal Kindergarten. Only 11 states and DC have mandatory kindergarten.

Do you really think that hasn't already been done?
