after a smooth 6 days, mac has just thrown up a wall. the homework he promised me he would do tonight - not gonna happen. he has stomped off to bed (in my bed). I'll let him try to get to sleep alone and watch more of the olympics. pouty mc pout pout. I was reigning princess of pouterville as a kid, he has miles to go.

he has stomped off to bed (in my bed).

That sounds like something one of my kids would do. I find it so striking how naked kids are in their power plays: I reject you! But STAY CLOSE so I know you're still there.

I once "punished" my mother by sleeping in a big basket. Next to my bed. With my pillow and comforter. I was convinced she would suffer. Instead, she took pictures once I was asleep.

If I wanted to punish him I would go sleep in his bed, but I know he actually is terrorized by fear if he wakes up in my bed alone and have no desire to put him there. So again, I will share the bed with his 4'6" floppiness and two attention starved 14 lb cats. Restful sleep - we r doin it rong.

Hi, people! I have some questions, and I thought this might be the place to ask them.

1) Why is two-man bobsled failing to interest me? Despite German butt-slapping pre-event. I thought I loved every Olympic event. But this is pretty boring.

2) My girl-cat is complaining loudly about something? What is bothering her? She stops whenever I look at her, but clearly something is driving her (and therefore me) bonkers. I suspect a ghost bug, but I'm unsure.

3) Should I cave and buy another book on my nook? (Untold problem about ereaders: Fewer checks on your book impulse shopping.) I was supposed to be on a budget this month.

4) Should I keep this pretty sports bra I ordered? Or should I get a size up, which comes in the color I actually wanted?

And finally 5) How have you been?

I await your wisdom.

Alibelle! What are you doing next weekend?

Perkins! I don't know yet. Probably get to those activities I have not managed to tackle this weekend. Why? What's up?

Alibelle! I don't have answers to any of your questions. But the two-man bobsled was boring me because I just kept waiting for the announcers to say anything other than "This is the fastest track in the world!" and they never did.

Why? What's up?

I will email you, at your profile address, of if that is not good, you could email me at mine.

Do not buy another book! Stay on budget!

Only get the size up bra if it will fit better, fit trumps color.
