Oooh shiny day
Oh LJ, it's been too long. I've been wanting to post for ages, but can't usually come up with anything fun or interesting. Guess I'll just give a little update on me. I'm really not crazy about Birthdays but then labsquint reminded me that having a birthday is better than the alternative. She really knows how to put things into perspective

That's me -- boringly practical!! ;)
I woke up today to two cute cards from my sons wishing me a Happy Birthday.
Aww... darling boys! :D
my eldest son has been invited to do Special Olympics so I'm excited. It's in May.
That's exciting! What will he be doing?
I also just found out that my 21 year old nephew (whom we gave the car to a couple of years ago) has been in and out of jail and is doing drugs. I can't tell you how much this breaks my heart. I'm not really surprised that he's following in his mom's footsteps but am incredibly sad about it. I can't help but feel I am partly to blame even though that's ridiculous. :(
You really shouldn't feel to blame. It's a terrible shame, but you can't be held responsible for his actions. I don't know that whole story, not by a long shot, but it sounds like you've done your best to help out when you can. And you can't ask for more than that.
Speaking of Bones 5x16, WASN'T IT GORGEOUS??! Beautiful story and execution. I didn't know that Hart had it in him.
I liked the episode, don't get me wrong. It had some wonderful moments in it and some great call-backs to season one but I also had some issues with Brennan's characterization as an established scientist and I wanted to strangle her through that last scene. Part of that opinion ended up in our ep tag, but sometimes they play the damaged Brennan card too much, I think. So, I'm waiting to see how they resolve it. That's going to be the real test for me.
And as for tonight... GLEE!!!!! :D

I've never been to a Special Olympics and have NO experience. Talking with the teacher about it last week, I guess they're going to choose things for the kids but as of last week they didn't have the events chosen. I know it's very good for the kids and C is very physical/sports-oriented so I know he will love it. I do worry about Brayden, though, hoping he wont get the feeling that (again) he's left out. Since Special Olympics is on a Friday during school, I'm wondering if I should even tell B about it at all. Of course I should, just don't want the envy monster to show up.

I know this in my mind, but my heart wishes I'd have been able to influence him or something. I've rarely seen the boy since he was like 8 and he's kind of foreign to me now but that doesn't stop the pain.
I plan on reading your 'fix' of 5x16, promise! I have it in a tab and will get to it probably after the icons.

That's hilarious because it's so like me. I've currently got about 40 tabs open in Firefox and 25 of them are LJ stories that I haven't gotten to yet. But once the tab is open, I will get there, it's just a matter of time...
