life as we know it

[flea]

My daughter is shut in the study closet, pooping in her diaper. (We already tried the potty; she says she can't today. We've told her that when these diapers are gone, that's it.) She just opened the door and said, "Mom, I'm a squirrel, right? We don't like surprises." She says "squirrel" in the most adorable silly slightly wrong way.

The Dillo gave me 4 hours last night, so I am once again among the human. I took yesterday off and was as depressed as I've been in a long time, and only got an hour of sleep to boot, but the boy pulled out of the bad rut last night, so there's hope.
