Noah just gets more precocious as time goes on. I swear, he and Grace have that as their superpower.
eta Thanks, Maria. They are good kids. Exhausting but good at least 3 times out of 10.
I deleted the kvetching that killed natter.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The medical bullshit on its own is enraging and nerve-wracking. I cannot fathom more on top of that.
I admire your and K's perseverance. It would be easy to not fight as hard for what Grace deserves in light of all the obstacles the bureaucracy throws up in your faces, but even if she never knows the difference you made in ensuring that she has every advantage possible, you do (as do we). That may not stop the tears from coming, but it spells out loud and clear that you're good people. The world is better because you care, even when it's hard.
(Sorry, didn't mean to get sappy on you.)
edit: You didn't kill Natter. I just took an inordinately long time to compose a response.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Kat and K are amazing parents, Noah and Grace are amazing kids. Double win!
I am so inordinately tired. I blame my stretch class as she made me jump today. I do not normally jump.
Must go pack. I am bummed that I won't get to see sarameg, but glad that she's here anyway. I'm also a bit bummed about leaving my cat behind. I worry. She's old and it's cold and she will miss snuggling next to me. I will miss the snuggles too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So, I appear to have made an offer on a house.
Huh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whoo! Go you!
Your kvetching was totally fine, Kat. You should kvetch at will.
I am super tired too. But I know why. However, I have a little more to do in the kitchen, and then I'm calling it a night. Tomorrow morning I have to go in and hassle the dealership, and then we'll leave on our trip.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Congrats, Perkins!

Woo! Fingers crossed!
And yes, I will be in the area very soon indeed. We should make a plan to meet up.

We should!
For now though, I think I am going to have a very strong drink.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I missed the kvetching but I suspect I support Kat in thread.
OMG HOUSE!
I'm also a bit bummed about leaving my cat behind. I worry. She's old and it's cold and she will miss snuggling next to me. I will miss the snuggles too.
I totally get this. Old kitties need love and snuggles and body heat and it's kinda sad when we have to be in other places.
