Awards: The Global Climate Change Sucks Edition

This will be brief as it is my last day of freedom before I have to ramp up Camp Mom.  The best part of Camp Mom is that we no longer have to be out the door at 7:20 in the morning.  Otherwise, it's mostly a lot of work.

The cluestick posse would like to hand out rainsticks to knock some sense into Kathy A's Evil Sister who wants to impede care plans she has no plans in participating in.  Your Evil Sister and my Evil Uncle would get on like a house on fire.  Another special visit will be paid to Diane's boss.  Maybe we can knock some brains in him but it sounds like it would require more force than your average pixie is generally comfortable with using.

The lullaby fairy has been dispatched to JenR and her baboo, 

A lifetime supply of chocolate for Jenevieve is is looking at having to spend three whole months with her parents.  Good luck with that and we are here all summer to provide support.  I know I would need support if I had to live with either of my parents for three days.

An entire ticker tape parade for Sue because she finally got in to see the headache specialist who has promised relief albeit in six months.  The excitement may need to postponed while she cares for her husband with an abscess in a rather painful spot.  I hope that goes well.  

The coveted Elevated Risk of Mullet Award for best turn of phrase goes to Amy for /sigh/ Why can't everything just go my way? Particularly when it's convenient for me? Amen.

Many hugs to pixies trying to find comfortable, air conditioned conveyances to parties they wish not to attend, principled congressional nominees who didn't win the primary, dealing with the higher prices of food and fuel, less expensive camp options (HUZZAH!), all who are dealing with the crazy weather patterns, recalcitrant spouses who don't do what is asked, and those questioning their parenting abilities.  As a mother of three kids whose oldest is now a teen, I must tell you that there are good days and bad days.  The good days outnumber the bad days and I do the best I can do at any given time.  That is all we can do.

Have a great week, pixies, and stay tuned for next week when the marvelous Madeleine helms the brigadoon.

Still a bit miffed over the loss. We just got two fund-raising letters from the winner: color printing, first-class postage. Why two? Because they had my husband as both Anonymous Lastname and Anon Lastname.

I WILL support her, but damn, lady! Get your mailing list cleaned up and get a bulk-mail permit! You spent a whole fireplacing dollar on us when you should have only spent 20 cents total!

Sheesh. No wonder she outspent my guy 3 to 1.
