Happy Mother's Day to everyone, mothers and daughters alike.
R called from the villa in Tuscany where she's vacationing for the week (from her excessively stressful life -- just kidding) to wish me a happy Mother's Day when I was out! I am very bummed by this. The Hubs got all her trip stories and I know she's safe and sound, but damn, I really did want to hear her voice. She's unlikely to call back today; she has very few minutes on her cell phone for international calls. Damn.
I've been posting to my fotolog again, now that I'm outside a little more and taking pictures again. I just couldn't find much to take pictures of all winter. I sometimes post to the group fotologs, too; I've especially been putting up some pictures of toys, here and here. Speaking of which, what K gave me for Mother's Day is this action figure of my favorite British schoolboy playing that game at which he so excels:
(Wouldn't want to be googled for HP playing Q, now, would I?)
I've spent the last two hours or so reviewing J1's paper and lordy begordy, I have got to mail that boy a big box of commas. Sheesh.
No school for me tomorrow, as I'm taking the extremely apprehensive K to get all four wisdom teeth pulled at 9:30, and then coming home so I can be her slave for the rest of the day. That doesn't sound too bitter, does it? When I think back to the days I've been out of school this year, honestly, I don't think I've taken more than one day off for actual illness, and every other has been involved somehow with K, I guess, since R is off in Europe. Even the week I took to go to the U.K. was with her/them. Otherwise, I've taken her to the train, picked her up from the train, gone down to D.C. to get her, and so on and so on. I did take a couple of early afternoons for the dentist. And a day for the mammogram, but then I had furniture delivered in the afternoon. All right, now I don't even know what I'm talking about. Let's just leave it at this: I'm not going to work tomorrow, but it's not going to be a nice day.
