Is it too late to jump on the msbelle is amazing bandwagon? She is.
Also? Loved the photos of Grace's day out. And that she went to Huntington Gardens.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sophia -- you didn't really know why your dad or your mom weren't there, ( even if you get it now), so that is why you get mac.
Msbelle, you are doing great. It is so hard to go against your nature
and I think the pumpkin cheesecake should come here. I look like I am close to all the bay area people, but by the time they make it here - it could be all gone.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I could just hop in the car and head north, right?

Of course, you could do that without cheesecake. But, admittedly, the cheesecake is extra incentive.
Meanwhile, I think I need to make an old-fashioned in honor of the Mad Men finale.

Msbelle, you consistently amaze me with the job you are doing raising mac.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, want to chime in with the msbelle love. I don't have kiddoes myself, of course, but I work with kids who appear to have issues very similar to mac. I only have them for maybe forty-five minutes every week or so, doing something they voluntarily asked to do, and I still struggle sometimes.
But I can definitely relate to how you've got to just show, over and over again, that you can be trusted not to bail, that you're there no matter what, that they can't earn their way into or out of your love. It's just such a tough, wearying thing to do, time after time. But it's what they need.

In completely unrelated news, public surplus has an auction running right now where they are selling two "micro fish readers" and a "paper shreader."

“Not dead yet!”
Chiming in late, but damn, msbelle, what you manage to do is amazing. Your patience and forbearance are tremendous and you are totally the right mom for mac.

msbelle, I think you're pretty wonderful and am in awe of everything you do, day after day.
Which means up at 6 at the absolute latest.
ita and Cashmere, your response to this killed me. Seriously. Granted up at 4 is not normal and yet? still my life.
