there has to be a happy medium between what flea has and not ever seeing an assignment come home.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Yay -t, my tai chi sistah!
She's just not capable of keeping up with it all without a LOT of parent help, and I simply do not have the energy to be checking every assignment every night.
Ugh. Franny just brought home a math test that she failed so I had to sign it. And when I say she failed, man, it was an epic fail, a work of art, so incorrect were her answers. sigh. Arrgh!
Dillo, for his part, is 9 years old and still has to be reminded to poop regularly. At least Casper is in charge of her own shitting?
OMG, are we parenting twins in some sort of hellish set up or what? My boy still needs to be reminded that there's basic hygiene requirements he needs to attend to. Like flushing. And he still tries to lie to get out of brushing his teeth. WTH?

I started my taxes, aka I signed into turbo tax and verified profile info. I've got 2 w2s this year, received yesterday. Think I might still be missing a 1099 int. This weekend.

Oh, a brief gripe: we lost the union vote, I'm bummed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tomorrow night is the memorial for our friend who died last week, which will be the third memorial/visitation/funeral we've had in as many weeks (first one of Tim's childhood friends died, then my cousin, then our friend). And my brother is struggling with his sobriety and relapsing into drinking, and I've been his sounding board for a LOT of the last 2 weeks.
I'm just exhausted from the emotional labor, you know? I'm bad at that stuff anyway, but coming all at once like it has in the last 3 weeks is just ridiculous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that s a lot to carry, Steph. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry Steph, that's a hard load to carry

Plus I'm worried about Tim's stupid dental problem AND he still doesn't have a diagnosis for his joint pain -- he got referred to a rheumatologist to sort out whether it's rheumatoid arthritis or gout (fingers crossed HARD for gout [which is a hilarious thing to say]), but, like a lot of specialists, they're booked into March, so he has to wait for a while on that.
Shit can just calm down for a while, is what I'm saying. There should be some unicorns with rainbow tails cavorting on the front lawn tomorrow.

Just be careful when you clean up their poop, I hear that glitter is impossible to wash off!

Oh Teppy, that's hard. Three funerals sucks any way, but your brother on top of that? Damn.
