Today is an odd day. Stuff going on in all directions.

DH's Aunt's mother passed this morning. She was 98 and had a very good run. She was alert and receiving visitors at home up to yesterday. She had a full time Hospice nurse as they knew her time was nearing, but her mind was quite strong until the end. We hadn't seen her in a few months. RIP Little Grandma. All the cousins called her Little Grandma because she was about 4'9". No hugs needed; I don't think any of could have wanted more for her. She was ready.

Bobby was sick all weekend and had fever yesterday and today. Guilty mom here, again. I didn't pay any attention to his complaints on Sunday because I figured he was trying to get out of chores/homework. Monday we went to a family gathering with new babies and other kids and he didn't swim or hardly eat anything. Now teen boys can eat some serious quantities of food in a unlimited buffet family picnic setting so that was my first big clue. I say down next to him where he was curled on the loveseat and I could feel on my leg through his clothes and mine that he was Hot. Oops. Got a thermometer from my sister and he was 102.5. This is the last week of school so I wrote to his teacher to see what to do about his finals because they sure wouldn't want him there. Ugh.

And my main support person at the office is out because her grandchild is sick. But I am off to the doctor's office. Wish me something easy to fix for the kid.

That is a lot, Laura. I hope Bobby's got a quickly-over flu.

Hope he perks up soon, and you make it through the day. I'll say that from my perspective at that age some 9 out of 10 complaints of sickness were at least partially goldbricking, so I don't think any more than the minimum mom guilt is required here.

Humanity: FAILS. Somebody wake me up when it's tomorrow.

Laura, I have often felt the same guilt. It's hard to know the difference between "I don't want to/I'm tired" and "I am very sick." Hope he feels better!

Humanity: FAILS. Somebody wake me up when it's tomorrow.

California Supreme Court just voted to uphold existing same sex marriages.

But also banning future ones, right?

eta: Which is confusing to me how some may be allowed to exist while future ones are not allowed.

Yeah, but they also upheld Prop 8. I'm so conflicted. It's total bullshit. Up in arms once again on Prop 8. ARGH!

So, GC, you guys are still married, but should you decide to divorce, you can't remarry? That seems like a total Solomon, cut the baby in half type solution that pleases no one.
