Have some port wine cheese spread with crackers.
This morning I got an email from a coworker that wasn't rude...it just was putting obstacles in my way to getting a simple little thing done and telling me I really need to give her more notice for these things (I had explained & apologized last week for leaving such little time..I don't need the lecture again). This sent a burst of tears...but it was short & now I feel better.
So on with the morning. I got through all the journal articles yesterday...just two reports to read this morning then throw a formal lit review together in the next 24 hours.
Ugh.

Oh honey! You are on overload, aren't you?
What did Chris do about his mom's temper tantrum and his dad? How's your sister doing? Tell the co-worker to shove it.
*smooch*
Yikes. I hope the day gets better. *smooch*
Gah, sounds stressy. Good jobs on the reports. That's a tonne of articles to summerise.
Why did she need to rehash it? I hate that. Hang in there Kim!

I knew you'd appreciate my workload, Bob.
Chris and I are both just letting his mom's issue slide off our backs as much as possible. She's very manipulative in how she says things, I think that's why it bothers me. It's very hard to describe.
With his dad, it's weird. His dad rarely calls & we only see him a few times/year. We are both just busy & live far away. This weekend, though, we got a glimpse of Chris's dad needing him. That's fine, it just came at a bad time.
My sister is ok, but it's spring break & she needs to work. Has to figure out childcare for the two older boys (she takes the youngest to work at the preschool with her). This is stressing all of us out. My other sister & I just talked. We realized we need to convey to middle-sis that it's difficult to watch her boys without some help/suggestions from her about what to do with them. They don't like to watch movies, read or play games. They do like to play video games, but obviously don't do that the whole time. She won't give us any other suggestions on what to do with them. When left to their own devices, that's when they get super naughty and uncontrollable. She needs to work with us/them to find activities to engage them in..especially for the winter.
Whew...I'll stop for now.
The day will get better.
*hugs*
Wow, weltek.
*hugs* and hopes for something better soon.
It's pretty odd that your nephews don't like to do things. And yes, kids left to their own devices get into trouble. That's when I usually take mine to the park and tell them to get all their sillies out.
Good luck.
Pack up your crap, move to Bora Bora and don't leave a fowarding address!
...and take me with you! *grin*
*hug* Sending good vibes across the pond.
