Morning Adults - Full day of meetings, and then sneaking out a bit early for dinner with friends.

Hep - my knees sympathize. As does my back (herniated disc from something, not quite sure what). Getting old sucks, but as Mooney says beats the other options!

New title: "Can the Adults Please have their geritol?"

Warm here, busy busy busy - deposition this afternoon.

Praying that C17 can escape high school without a math disaster!

I'm sitting in the last scheduled department meeting of the semester and it is absolutely grueling. The rehashing of old wounds, the fingre pointing, the lack of respect... it's a play!

But one good thing has come out of it: my request to not be on the new curriculum committee has been granted. Thank God.

HAHAHA! That rings true on so many levels, Deet!
Following the tragedy at Newtown, there had been the suggestion by some that teachers and administrators be armed. In a letter to the Washington Post, one woman wrote, "Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to arm teachers and school administrators has clearly never attended at faculty meeting." Nuff said.

True dat. After a day like yesterday there wouldn't have been anyone to share hoogankaggels with, whether we wanted to or not.

And D2 I think I have a idea for your next big show.
You should write a opera from the last kitchen nightmares ep.

But I'm still going to defrost some steaks for dinner.

'Morning.

Mom fell yesterday afternoon and is in the hospital "for observation". She's frail and has lost a lot of weight and her doctor is concerned that she's dehydrated and/or quasi-malnourished. Decisions that we've been putting off about her living situation are now staring us in the face. Her three children have three different ideas about her future and she herself is in deep denial.

And we thought raising kids was a challenge!

Mooney - yes I know! It was a health crisis that put my parents into assisted living - worked out very well for them. Best wishes to you!

(Please pray to the math god!!!!!!) C17 finishes high school tomorrow - I hope!

Mooney, good luck with that - I am pretty lucky - my mom is still very self sufficient, but realizes that in a couple of years she may not be able to manage her house anymore. She actually put a deposit down on a new assisted living center that will not be open for a few years, when she turns 80.

Mom swears she's not going anywhere at any time - no way, no how. I fear that if/when we move her, she'll go downhill very quickly.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 5/16/13 at 12:14pm

That is a tough one. Does she have a church group that can get involved to make sure she has someone looking in on her?

Good morning, y'all!

'Morning. Sitting in the waiting area of terninal B 24 at Reagan National airport. My flight southward (to the land of y'all) boards in 10 minutes. The nice thing - and only nice thing - about taking flights early in the day is that there are no delays yet. Hopefully my luck will hold in Atlanta.

Sigh, y'all.

Hope all is well down south!

C17's last day of high school - not a good year for Pre-Calc and NOT her best effort. Standard so degraded that we are praying for a D.

BOYS WEEKEND!!!!!!!

Moony, just reading back... sending big hugs. Keep us posted. XOXO

Hope the week treated you all well. I'm emerging from Upfront presentation hell. Now the 48 hour-long days begin... See you in August.
