I have had A. Day. One blow of craziness after another. A few weeks ago I bought two of these new drink mixes from Williams Sonoma, and for my whole drive home tonight I was thinking, "I need a Remedy." How perfect is that? Except we'd already finished The Remedy so I had the Spiced Pineapple Cooler. Neel brought me a sip from a straw as I peeled shrimp for dinner (Never say that man can't recognize a desperate situation when he sees one.), and he worried that it was too spicy for me. It wasn't it. I chugged it. Now I'm ready for bed.

And along the lines of "things I never dreamed I'd hear" we sent Callum to his room after school so he could calm down a bit before tackling his homework, and we could hear him wailing, "Please let me do my math. Please! I want to do my math." I don't even know what to say about that.
