It was Day 1 of GeekGirlCon, where I am vending, (That's going well, but I started the day exhausted so it's mostly a blur.)

The kids came with Sean for a short stretch in the afternoon, and Dan had dressed up in a costume which he referred to as "Jack" and I am assuming is a character from something or other I'm too old to know about. So he had ( Read more... )

I thought the people on the celiac forums were exaggerating about needing to get rid of all their kitchen stuff.

Oops.

So now we need a new toaster, cutting boards, a fair chunk of cooking utensils, cast iron pan, etc, and basically a special "no gluten zone" where anything porous or with small parts will live (on what counter space I have no idea ( Read more... )

 My children are all officially teenagers now.

D saw the doc, and they gave him a referral to a specialist and said basically to continue monitoring and refining what he's eating to see if that is the issue... the earliest appointment is mid-July (*after* the one day camp he's doing which is Shakespeare and stage fighting, and it will suck so hard if he is hurting too much to do that.).  So I ( Read more... )

 My schedule for all I was going to get done while Dan was away at school camp has been blown all to hell, becuase at 5:30pm yesterday I got a call and it was clear that he was too sick to stay (particularly at the NatureBridge camp, where each day has hours of hiking.)

So, 2.5 hours there, via the Edmonds-Kingston ferry, and then 3.5 back, becuase ( Read more... )

We are meeting with the school in person tomorrow about the Recent Fuckery which I'm hopeful will be fruitful.  We discussed it in general terms with the family therapist today and he shared our surprise that at a school to which bullies get sent that Dodgeball would feature heavily in the gym rotation, which makes me feel a bit better ( Read more... )

I showed the children the Addams Family tonight, because we must attend to their cultural education, and it went quite well.  Olivia is now trying to figure out who would be who if we did it as a full family cosplay; I think I'd be a good Gomez, but Fester could work to. No one is up to being Morticia.

Tomorrow morning, the sequel (the library's DVD ( Read more... )

 Things just kind of keep rolling along the same, without a lot of notable breaks or personal events to remind me to write ( Read more... )

I got imminently due album #2 90% done today and then the client stuck 5 more images into the source folder, but without a note as to what she wants done with them. Gah. I really, really, want all my album designs out the door by Friday morning, so they aren't on my mind when I go into art mode.

I know I also did other things today, but other than ( Read more... )

 I will be spending literally over a dozen hours this week driving to and sitting through kid appointments. Maybe I should just add chauffeur to my resume.
