I have this sinking feeling in my stomach and that tight throat you get when you're about to cry. something I haven't felt in a long time.

How far away from everything you know and love would you move to be with a significant other?

Yay birthday!

Contrary to what I felt last night, today has been great.  My kids were well-behaved, I got to chit chat with them all day in the library, and I'm gonna go eat dinner, read the cards they all signed for me, and drink wine with Marian.

maybe I could start to heal.

I feel like I'm going to let my 6th hour down BIG TIME tomorrow ( Read more... )

This is me hoping Obama reverses the Mexico City Policy.

Only January 22nd will tell....

"Our lives are shaped by those who love us and those who refuse to love us."

You think sleeping until seven a.m. is sleeping in.
