Prizes! Quick as the 100 m dash!

Gross-out Award to esperanza for bird pook on the mailbox. Ewwwwwww!

Sleepin' Like a Baby Anti-whine Award to the Mini-Baboo. With fingers crossed behind my back to avoid the jinx.

Moving to Australia Award to Sue, for a work day so bad she went home after lunch.

The Girl Scout Cookie Award for best single sentence in an anti-whine goes to amy, for "Girl Scout cookies are delicious in May!"

Achilles' Heel Award to Sarah, who is sore guess where?

Old Skool Award, Paperwork Division to kathy a and her daughter's FAFSA.

Old Skool Award, Culinary Division to Sue and the overpowering onions!

Slow Down, You Move Too Fast Award to JenR (with a cluestick gently applied to her new therapist).

Stylish Whine Award to amy, for her prayer to the lice gods.

Best Typo in a Wednesday Whine to Liz, for "Aunt Dpi." (Look at your keyboard, everyone. Or is it some new acronym I'm not cool enough for?)

And a bonus You Crack Me Up Award to Liz for "If you had a Grandma Ann, would you take her to play Bananagrams at your mammogram?"

Boo to endless underwear catalogs, potty training, being painfully tired and a touch depressed, canker sores (ouch!), pee in car seats, wasps, lack of adult conversation, and terrible job markets.

Hurray for good medical news, cute kids' sports, nice apartments, reduced prom-a-drama, and naps.

See you next week with my travel whines . . . kathy a. will be our lovely hostess.

Thanks, Madeleine.

And (if I may be so rude as to whine on the awards post), I do *not* feel better today. Tummy yuck is gone, but now with the fever, aches, and chills. And? it's my birthday. I feel entitled to whine about that. I am just now feeling hungry, so maybe I'm on the mend. Mr. E has been home today, taking care of Baboos. Funny thing--he's really busy :)
