I pretty much kicked the kids out of the house today. They are probably in negative vitamin D range after this winter.

I need to set my daughter up in a playdate with this girl - they have the same taste in music. Bless their hearts.

Mine outgrew the bucket at six months. He was soooo long. We have to look for a new booster for his sister now. She has to be in one until age 8 or 4'9" and her current one is getting too small - it sticks to her tush/hips like she's in a slapstick comedy.

I made chicken tikka last night but we're having take out tonight. Making soy ginger meatballs tomorrow. MyRecipes.com has a ton of free recipes - ranging from super healthy to not so much. I like the Dinner Tonight feature - not everything is a winner but I can get ideas.

Fresh Wave. They are these weird beads that have a faint citrus odor if you put them up to your nose but are really odorless. They remove any bad odor pretty quick. We use them in the bathroom - they kept things fresh even during the week three of the four of us had the stomach flu. They can go anywhere.

I have a shitty cold too. I'm in the excess mucus in nose stage. But I have Phoebe sexy cold voice.

Jam good. Beef good.

Transferred to a new job within the same company. Didn't realize it until it was too late, but the team was filled with the worst stereotypes of lazy, gossipy, and mean women I've ever had the misfortune of knowing. They were just awful - lying to the boss, tattling, sabotaging other people's work, ignoring…

NPR reported that he did a four-month tour in Iraq and had diagnosed mental health issues prior to to his deployment and even enlistment. As someone on the radio said - deployment to a war zone, regardless of whether there's active combat in their locale, is not an optimal therapeutic environment.

I've had a Tom Bihn large Cafe Bag for about 9 years. They've fixed it free for me when I broke the clasp/buckle. I love it - it holds everything, is washable, and the strap is comfortable. The inside pockets are functional and there is a zipper pocket that holds important papers and such. Mine looks almost new…

Yeah, I agree on all points.

Exactly. She has a negligence claim and not much else against the state. Which is really awful for her because she's left holding the bag for her medical care and injuries with no one to seek recovery against.

Not a lot of people are that self-aware.

She actually has a pretty good negligence claim - state actors had concerns about Travis and knew of other incidents where he escaped, caused damaged, etc. and did not act. That is pretty much textbook negligence. By telling the owner they were concerned they inserted the state into the chain of causation - their…

The Oxford Union speech/talk. I listened to it at work and was darn impressed. I love how his transgressions are towards his sibling and he felt bad afterwards - that's a really good sign in a young person.

That's so perfect. Totally gets my sweet graham cracker money. Plus I love teddy grahams. They are yummy and bears.

When I was pregnant with my first, my husband worked late and bring home Taco Bell for a late dinner/snack. I ate their nachos like the life of my unborn child depended on it. No wonder he tried escaping early.

It is shit like this that makes me glad that I'm a dowdy old lady who would give Anna Wintour a stroke.

I'm successful in my career and, apparently, a good mother, but there are times when my husband does stuff for me and I love it. It is such a relief when he takes on a challenge for me - like bitching out the mortgage company for screwing up our auto-pay. And I like cooking stuff he likes or dressing up for a date. I…

Call hospital or the office. The office should have after hours coverage.
