Brain damage for fun and profit

Yep, trying to function on 4 hours of sleep is quite the challenge, and by "challenge," I mean "brain-sucking quagmire." But very well worth it, I think.

First of all, I think I set a personal record for IMs in one evening: seven [EDIT: Make that eight] of y'all, plus one (yes!) phone call. Thank you all so much for keeping my company! I love you all! Meep! *hugs all around* *happy dance* (Very good to see what some of you look like, too.)

Second: Happy Fifth Anniversary to sybilla and ryokan! *more celebratory happy dances*

Hopefully, I'll regain my knowledge of the English language later today, so that I can post properly. I have a three-day weekend of kid-corralling, starting right about now, so wish me luck. And while you're at it, wish me amphetamines and body armor...

That time of year again...

Nik, my darling boy, you realy need to put that back where you found it. As fetching as you look in kitten's-ears and a pink tutu, I have a feeling that Abbey will be upset that you've walked off with her Halloween costume.
