Kid-ful

Took At to his dermatologist's appointment (this kid was a mess of scales) and then he had dinner and spent the night at home yesterday.

I miss the summer; I miss five years ago; I miss babies. (Boss Day wish?)

On Wednesdays they wear Pink (ish)

I love my class extra this year.

Editorializing

It's after 3 am. Big A is coming off working the third shift, I don't know why the heck I didn't go to bed until after 3.

We're "chit-chatting" (as Nu would say) trying to stay away from Kavanaugh, from Trump, from the kids in cages, all the awfulness of this administration. And Big A is feeling guilty for talking to me, because I have classes to teach and people to meet today and should be sleeping... but he's been working so much and I've barely seen him, so here we are.

Big A: I miss you so much... This is my happiest thing. When I see you... sometimes when I round the corner and see you unexpectedly, that's the best. Even if it's just in my own house.

Me: In *our* own house.

Still Got it, Y'all

It's been so long since I competed in something... And it felt good to win. I signed up for the U.N. quiz, got into first place by question #3 and then the pressure was ON. Nu was tickled that people were whispering "Who's Dora" as the Kahoot quiz went on. Nerdhood is a lifelong condition.

Where's the Peace (Pole)

We were supposed to be taking selfies with assorted peace poles... something seems to be missing here though :)

Here we go:



We hit 10 the first day and five more the next day!

He didn't use color before

And now he's all rainbows.

I'm so happy for him

my heart is full

Sophomore year

Hugged immoderately, embarrassed repeatedly, loved immensely, and all moved in for the year (on his Boss Day, no less).

We'll all miss him but Nu and Scout on a visceral level. (Huckie bear don't care.)
