<p>Hi gang,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I have a case of the mondays. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a bottle or two, but a whole case, I don't know if I can handle that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*sigh*</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some days I wonder why I don't just stay home with my kids. Why I go through the headache of trying to get everyone up and ready in the mornings, dropped off, and then get to work on time. Feels like no matter how early I get up, I'm late. And someone forgets something. Today it took at least 6 tries to get Lena out of bed. And when she finally did wake up, she was growly at me. She didn't eat her breakfast so we took it in the car. Then the juice box spilled all over her. And she only ate half a slice of toast so she took the other slice in with her. I'm not sure how the daycare feels about her bringing food in. Better than me sending her in hungry, I figure. She was blessed with her mom's hair, so she always looks like she just came out of a windstorm. And she doesn't like to wear piggy tails. So it feels like my kid is the only one who looks a mess when she gets there. I'm sure that's not true, but that's how I feel. Then I forgot Evelyn's coat. She won't be outside anyway, but still. Oh, and I forgot Lena's gloves. And I was late for work. </p>

<p>Can't see whatever <strong>Ailarie</strong> posted.

<p><strong>Clare</strong>, of course I speak from no position of authority or experience, but I have to assume that every parent has felt like that at some point. Or many points. So just take a deep breath, remind yourself that you're doing your very best, hug your loved ones tight, and forget all about whatever anyone else may think. The only thing that matters is that your girls (and hubby) know how very much you love them. Everything else is just details. Hang in there, my friend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Awesome weekend here. The weather was glorious, my workouts rocked (see fitness thread), we had FRONT ROW seats at the Flyers game Saturday night <span><img alt="headbang.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif" style="width:26px;height:28px;">,</span> and we totally MacGuyvered the chain in the kitchen exhaust fan last night in the dark. We were rather pleased with ourselves.</p>

<p><strong>QOD</strong> - Gonzo here too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to hear it Clare. Parenting is one tough job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun: tonight is our season end GOTR party.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not fun: As of this morning, we still did not have doors up (they were being painted). We rushed around last night and got some window treatments up and pictures hung, but we have a lot of work to do. Which will not get done before the party - but hopefully we'll at least have doors. I'll take some pics soon. The new trim looks great.</p>

<p>Hi all - trip went well yesterday; took my aunt and my dad (he hasn't played the role of "tourist" in a long time and got a pretty good kick out of it) around San Francisco yesterday. Got to see some our past history when we all lived in SF plus some of the usual attractions (Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, etc.) <br>

<p>Clare - parenting is a continual exercise in self doubt. I have been at it for 13.5 years now, and I still second-guess myself continually. Hang in there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD - Zoot. Really all of the members of the Electric Mayhem. I also had a college prof that was a dead ringer for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.</p>

<p>Thanks <strong>Maria</strong>! I am supah excited for tonight! We are going to show them the high quality video on my hubby's humongous tv. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>BIG NOT FUN: One of our girls threw up at the finish on Saturday. She literally threw up 3 times in the last .1 (<span style="text-decoration:underline;">determined little thing never.stopped.running</span> though, despite her dad encouraging her to -she was going to finish darn-it!!). She is a great runner and it seemed very unusual. I did not see it or get to talk to her before she left (she was embarassed), but I called her mom and she did not think she was sick. But, now I learn she has been sick and up all night the last 2 nights and won't be able to come to our celebration. What a bummer.</p>

<p><strong>Clare</strong> - when SIsterleenie's boys were younger I had many a snarling* phone calls from her about the same sorts of things. Literally, she snarled at me. Well, not at ME, but the situation. I probably shouldn't have laughed, but it takes a lot to make her snarl like that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, you're not alone in that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun: got my hair cut this morning. Aaaaaaaah. Shortness.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Embarrassing moment #1: I was wearing my pajamas a coat & my smilie hat (sexay get up) when I took the dogs out to poop this morning. A burgundy SUV came down the street, and there was a glare across the windshield so I couldn't see who was driving. But I thought it was my under-cover-cop neighbor Roger, so I'm waving like a fool. But it wasn't him, and the guy who was driving had this expression on his face like I was a serious mental case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>:sigh:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Embarrassing moment #2: while Cindy was cutting my hair Kathy, the lady who works at the next chair over, came in, and started going on about "how can you look that good with hair <em>that</em> short? It's crazy! And you don't have any make up on either, do you? <span style="font-size:10px;">[just mascara]</span> How is that possible??? How old are you? You aren't even wrinkled!" and on and on. At least there weren't any other customers in the place at the time to hear her rant, but jeez. <em>Uncomfortable! </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>After I pack & ship a vase I'm going to hole up in the studio for a while. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Fires:</strong> no idea. we've had a number of them here, in the getto-y areas, and I haven't heard if they've caught anyone yet. Asshats. </p>
