Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

wee tiny Batman underpants,

Don't you have a dog those would fit on?

They're way too small for Kato. Possibly one of the cats, but that would lead to me being maimed, the avoidance of which is one of my life goals.

These underpants. See? I need a feminist-marriage baby to put those on!

I was reading this to K-Bug and was told that I have already failed that goal. Anyone want a 21 year old?

Because books.

I know sisters who moved in together to raise children, for instance. I wouldn't do it, but I don't think it's a dubious concept.

I thought Kate and Allie did pretty well, though. (I realize it's TV, but still.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can I tag this? You just knocked MCA off his pedestal.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Allyson, of course!

I have just entered my next MONTH's meals into the Cozi meal-planner. FlyLady has eaten my brain.

(Now I just need a way to export the Cozi shopping list into FreshDirect so I can line up a week's worth of meals, click "grocery list" and have it populate my online cart automatically. C'mon future, you're disappointing me here.)

Trust my rage

I have considered a Kate & Allie type situation. My best friend has an amazing husband but he may have to leave the country for a while. So we have talked a lot about living together. Her kids are already like my nieces/nephews.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

A pig is NO MATCH for four income sources!

With four income sources you can buy your ass a pig. Maybe two!

There's a ton of merit in that idea I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A medium sized portion of my family (proportionally) has atypical child-rearing arrangements. Kids that leave their kids with grandparents three days out of every seven, or grandparents suing other grandparents for custody, or that woman who's been raising my cousins for twenty five years, after her mother raised my aunt. So, really, my mother has never been able to understand why I don't pull the trigger.
