It's beginning to be spring in the West, which means--tumbleweeds! I took a tumbleweed to the driver's side of my car as I was driving along, which I managed to see out of the corner of my eye, so I wasn't completely taken by surprise. Fortunately there's not much to them, but the herds--flocks?--of them that are going to crowd the roads later can be a pain to get past/through.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Watching Austin City Limits with my brother and eating Thai food. His wife gets back tomorrow and I go home. I'm glad I came out here, but I can't wait to get home.

After the cleaning spree I treated myself to cheap-but-good sushi and am now watching a countdown of the NHL's greatest defensemen. (Spoiler alert: Bobby Orr will be #1. )

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray for wheelbarrows, flushed water heaters and 5ks! Did a 5k today myself, at the Rosie the Riveter Memorial. Nice route, beautiful day, now I am wiped out. I didn't get anything else done in a productivity sense, just lunch with my dad, some shopping that I didn't need to do but which was fun, and some hang time with mom (she has the same bug I had beginning of last week, I think, so she didn't go to the race). And now I'm watching TV. Tomorrow is another day.
I did ask my dad if he's going to vote in the Republican primary, he said maybe he'll write in Barry Goldwater. He's a lifelong registered Republican but ideologically he's probably more Green than anything else.

How insane should I be making myself about the fact that ltc keeps trying to sleep on her stomach? She's 6 months old.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
If she is rolling herself into that position, I wouldn't worry.
Big picture, now that she can roll back to tummy, you would basically have to stay up all night to flip her back each time she rolled. Neither of you will get any sleep.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
She is rolling herself, and she is very strong. But I worry.

You are a parent, you worry. That is utterly normal.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Just now she rolled on her tummy but she woke herself up in the process and let us know that she was not happy about it. She was also wet and hungry. Now she is asleep on her side.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I haven't been here in awhile because depression.
But did you hear the new Republican plan if Trump wins the nomination? Let Hilary win, and focus on the Senate. Mitch McConnell said Republicans will drop Trump ' like a hot rock" if he wins the nomination. And the Republican billionaire donor class will put all their money on Senate candidates instead of wasting it on Trump.
