Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow Kat, I usually just find Legos, super balls, and assorted action figures.

Yay Rick, for healthy happy toddlers.

And Grace eating a puff? That's good. Personally I think she should have gone with the ice cream you offered her a ways back, but I can see the appeal of a puff.

That wasn't meant to sound glib. I do think it's great she ate a puff. Grace has made such amazing strides. Her name is perfect for her, isn't it?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Look at all the little ones go! Life is good.

No worries about the potential glib. She is showing interest in food which is a giant step forward.

So I may have done something stupidish at work. A colleague received a grant. Over the summer she asked if I would share a project with her. I said yes, reluctantly, and agreed to have students write a business proposal. Which I know less than nothing about and business stuff is all gobbledy gook.

My students were signed up for a business competition so I could access curriculum. But I cannot support them at all and I don't care enough to try and I only have these students until Feb 3. So I emailed the competition folks and withdrew us.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Maria, other DC folks, and anyone else interested... link to my DC show in in my profile.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Go Gracie, eating!

And yay wee Cash-nephew. Hang tough, little dude.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay Gracie for eating and little baby for being tough!

For about a week I have had Glee's version of Salt 'n Pepa's Push It stuck in my head.

Now it has been pushed out because some teen girls on my bus were rapping and one of their songs consisted of "Kiss my ass and my anus" over and over and over. So now that is in my head.

Now tagless for your comfort.

But you can take heart from other preemies who are badass toddlers and preschoolers. Cause those creatures are now indestructible. (Or so they try to be.)

This stuff is all awesome to read. It calms me. It's nigh impossible to express this to my sister, however, who is handling this in her own way (by obsessively collecting information--seriously. You know what she asked me for when I called to see if I could bring her anything? FILE FOLDERS AND A PENDAFLEX!)

They will be fine and Reece's prognosis is a good one. It just be up and down for a couple of months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, your sister just has to live through it.

Fuck, I am tired. Good thing I'll probably never have a baby at this point because I can't even imagine. I am barely functioning after getting to sleep probably by midnight and being half-woken-up by my cat at 5, and then rolling over until 7.

And it's totally a fugue state.
