I recently realized that I am still carrying some crap from an abusive relationship from my youth. I drew this. I haven't completely thrown off the crap, but I am getting myself free.

It was the kids' last day of school, which is bittersweet. How do I have a 5th grader and an 8th grader already?

Today's (return of the) #OneGoodThing:

I had a pile of correspondence and planning waiting for me after a long weekend away, and I got through it with a minimum of fuss, botheration, and general grumpitude. And now I'm ready for June.

Hey all,

I haven't been posting my one good thing lately b/c we had to put down our sweet greyhound Tivo on Friday. The kids are taking it especially hard. I'll get back to my regularly scheduled good things, but I needed a little break.

Give love to your furry friends for me.

A cow licked me! Did you know a cow's tongue is rough like a cat's? Much much much bigger, though.

Child 2: France would win. They have nukes.

So I was parked in the fountain pen feed instead of ‘home’ and I didn’t notice for two days because that’s how often people I follow talk about pens and ink anyhow

My friend Gillian called me this afternoon, and it was just lovely to talk to her. (Also, Neil Gaiman. But mostly Gillian).

Today's #OneGoodThing:
Watching two episodes of Dead Boy Detectives with husband. (Watch this show. It's amazing. And the more people who watch it, the more likely it is we'll get a second season.)

Yesterday's #OneGoodThing:

When I was a kid, I thought a Poetic License was a real thing you could apply for and carry in your wallet. For Mother's Day, my kid made me this soon-to-be laminated Poetic License that I will happily carry in my wallet.
