Why do cars limp along like injured bunnies the day after a snowstorm, even when the roads are just fine?
Why do I have to deliver the kids to daycare by myself when I am well when Pants is sick, AND when Pants is well and I am sick?
Why won't Pants just ask his brother to look at the damn car already, or let me make an appointment? And the snowblower!
One day, I will actually get to spend a day working on my house. One day.

Hello again
It's been quite awhile in posting, but I took some time out. To clean, you ask? To parent? To finish projects? That's just crazy talk! I've been catching up on the Amazing Overshare, now linked from here because it is so funny. So wrong, but so funny.
Meimei is still not sleeping alone, for those of you wanting to do me bodily injury. She naps on her own for a short time, but not as long as she should, and she doesn't fall asleep by herself as much as I was hoping. And she still sleeps with me. Eventually, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and do it, but I'm not ready yet.
Meimei has now gotten her second tooth and is eating rice cereal each day for one of her meals. We are also eating bananas now and will try sweet potatoes next. She has gotten very good at eating and the food mostly stays in her mouth now. She is very infatuated with the cat and will track her all over the livingroom.
Kitten is starting to get her 2-year molars and it's getting cloudy with a chance of tantrums. Two days last week she refused to eat almost everything. She's constantly chewing on stuff and is testing more than ever.
I ordered a plain wooden stool on clearance from Target (I walked by the damn thing in the store, on clearance, 10 times and didn't want it until I couldn't get it any more) and a kitchen timer so we can have a true naughty stool. We have started yelling a lot to get our point across, because at first it was effective, but now I can see her pushing it farther and farther and we're yelling more and more and louder and louder. I don't like it and I think we can control the problems without the yelling. The yelling seems to feed it, like she is trying to get us to do it after a while.

Um, sorry, have you seen my $12 Billion?
"I know that $12 billion seems like a lot when you stack it up on palettes..." Yeah, I know that a few years in congress seems like a lot when your constituency is waiting to vote your ignorant ass out...
So the government cannot account for the $12 billion in cash they sent over to Iraq to boost the economy. The Iraqis say it's because of their poor bookkeeping and payroll systems. Those wacky Iraqis.
In totally unrelated news, I have my fourth cold this year, about 3 days behind Kitten's cold. Meimei is about 2 days behind me, but Pants decided to buck the system and got the flu instead. I guesstimated today (in the cough and cold aisle of Downtown Target) that we have spent nigh on $80 on assorted infant and adult cold medications this year alone. It's not even the end of February.
And yet I soldier on, attending work every day (can you hear the sighing?). Except those two days when I got the sinus infection. I'm just waiting for this one to turn that corner so I can pull a vacation day, drive the kids to daycare, hit the clinic for my Penicillin substitute, drop some Q, and watch Law & Order until I drift into a drugged stupor and start speaking to Buppy.
