Nobody broke anything, or cried, or abused the cat. (Total injuries: One nonbleeding scrape, which was fixed with a Pirates of the Caribbean type band-aid.)

Note to self for the future: teenagers eat a lot of food. There is no such thing as “I’m a little concerned that we’re going to have leftovers.”

Needing an entire fucking tanker trunk of stiff drinks: To celebrate, she is having a sleepover with six of her closest friends. At our house.

I already tried telling Samwise that I really do have a lot of work to get done at the office, but he whimpered and wouldn’t let go of my ankle, so I’m stuck here.

She’s expected to make a full recovery, but a very slow one.

My kids brought me breakfast in bed this morning, consisting of a cake the Littlest Paladin made all by herself, fruit and coffee. Kid Peligro felt bad that he couldn’t cook, so he farmed high-level Inspirations for me in City of Heroes, and left a bunch of his stuffed animals on the bed to keep me company.

I’m spending the remainder of the day at work. Mom-love doesn’t shovel all the paperwork off my desk.

Eldest Daughter: Mama, I think I might have been a little too blunt at school today.

Me: OK, what happened?

ED: Well, see, this boy asked me if I want to go out with him–

Me: You’re too young to ‘go out’ with boys.

ED: Mooooom! I know! Anyway, so I told him, “No.” That was too blunt, huh?

Me: You didn’t say it in a snotty way, like “ew, no way, not you,” right?

ED: No.

Me: Then there’s no problem. It was a yes or no question. I guess “no thank you” would have been a little more polite, but just no is fine.

ED: Okay….really?

Me: Really.
