Pixies, this is going to be A Week Without Awards. Your whines were read and good thoughts were sent and laughs stifled, but I don't have the energy to do more than this post right now.
Work has been crazy, so I put off doing Awards until the weekend. Then I had to go look at memorial service venues, and that shot Saturday.
Today I celebrated Mother's Day by attending a three hour play - a love story, even - with my fomer Pseudo-Mother-In-Law. You know, the one whose son I am neither marrying nor speaking to anytime soon.
Before I left for the theater my best friend called to tell me she got engaged. I'll be a bridesmaid, and they are probably getting married on my birthday. I am happy for them, but ....wow.
I think I need to go curl up in a little ball now. See you at the Whiner's Ball next week, when the marvelous kathy a. will be our host.

It seems like we are all experiencing Teh Overload to some degree right now. Hugs to everybody, including you, dear Hostess, because it sounds like today was just a cascade of complicated. Oof.
Sending you hugs, Redzils. I know right now seems like a vortex of suckage, but it will get better, and we love you, even if you feel like no one else on Earth does!
Ah Redzils, curl up in a ball and have a little chocolate.
Yes, teh overload is rampant, even at the esperanza household, where we have no mother-in-laws of any variety.
Hugs and more hugs and a few more hugs.
