How to make a lot of parents very upset
Chuckro's birthday party was on Monday, and it was raining, so I took ARR on an adventure to get him out of the house so Chuckro could do party prep. We headed for the Brooklyn Children's Museum, which I'd interviewed for a job at a long time ago, but never actually been to the exhibits at. Before we left, I checked the website, which said very ( Read more... ) -

With the move over to Dreamwidth, my feed is even more dead than it used to be. Le sigh. And yet, every time I go on Facebook, I end up regretting it. I miss my social media fix ( Read more... ) -

Well, we only had minor re-enactments of the viral BBC guy during the first webinar. Some yelling and some bleedover from Blaze and the Monster Machines. Oh, and y'know, completely lost connectivity in the middle, but I got it back. So just minor heartattacks, no biggie ( Read more... )So let's recap

Thursday, when it was time to get dressed, ARR crawled back into bed and begged to go back to sleep. I checked my calendar and gave him an extra half hour of sleep. Then I woke him up and we set off for school. We made it halfway there, and he hadn't spoken a word. No begging for stories, no declaring which Rescue Bot we had to be. I stopped, ( Read more... )
