I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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

I wouldn't want one like that at work but it might be fine for personal use. Have you looked at a Little Giant?

I wouldn't need it much, but when I'd need it, I'd NEED it. And I loved my inspectors. There may be a geek factor playing here. But also the idea of maneuvering an extension ladder through my house to get to the roof is NOOOOOO.

I'm feeling pretty good because I have only two more work days this week. And I only worked 12 hours today. And I remembered to pull out shorts for the twins. And the twins teachers sent homework in the form of needing photos, both baby and current for both twins plus homework DUE TOMORROW.

And I can't breathe thanks to the flu-turning-into-bronchitis-turning-into-asthma I have going on.

Can you just email in flickr links?

And I'm sorry about the rest.

No. Of course not. They want pictures. So I uploaded the one of the twins at coffee bean so I could print it off my computer. I mean, geez, I appreciate you want to do photos, but REALLY? I'm not a stay at home mom. I actually was at school until 7 tonight and getting photos on demand is a giant pain in the ass.

Sigh.

SCORE! I'm sending an out of focus camera pick printed on cardstock. EAT IT, elementary teacher!

The worst is that Noah was super anxious that I wouldn't get it done for tomorrow. He talked about it for quite a while on the way home. Am I that unreliable?

Hooray for NOLA knowledge!

I had such a shifty day at work today that I would welcome the norovirus. It's too bananas to get into, but Captain Logic (or Lt. Reality or Commander Professionalism or Ensign Consistency) is really not driving the boat in my office. I don't even know what to think, do, or say anymore.

My latest @@ school project is that next week Isaac's grade is having a tea for moms, which sounds nice, except he's expected to wear dress trousers (seriously--NO JEANS) and I'm expected to wear an Easter hat. Really? I have to buy clothing for a school project?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had to make an Easter bonnet for primary school once. I adorned it with a cardboard lobster with articulated claws. (Feel free to use this idea.)
