First and foremost, a new way to contact me:

That email address downloads directly to my Thunderbird email client, on my desktop. So if I have electricity and I’m at my desktop, there’s a good chance that I will get your email address and answer anything you send me. I had some trouble in the past with people who have sent me emails and I never check my webmail addresses and they assumed I was ignoring them. Eventually I will configure all of my Gmail addresses, but for now that’s the one to directly email me with. And yes, I plan on keeping it for as long as possible. I also have an MSN email address, but I can’t get it configured.
I got a new memory box for Mother’s Day. I’m going to fill it full of pictures as soon as the candy is all gone from it. Then I was showered with a couple of bouquets of flowers:





Yes, I know. Messy table = child abuse. Get with the reporting. =D
The best gift came from DW, my step son. For the first time ever, I heard his voice this morning. All of the kids bombarded me with my presents at noon, while I was still asleep. What a pleasant way to wake up. =) I was showered with candy, several DVDs: all the Saw movies and Futurama movies, flowers, and a card. DW was the first to speak: “Happy Mother’s day, momma.” Was shocked and stunned at the same time. Yesterday was his 7th birthday, and I’ve never, ever heard him speak before. I wasn’t sure he could speak.
Dennis fixed my little clock that I thought the kids had broken and ruined. Turns out we didn’t even need the super glue we bought yesterday to fix my pens that Matt chewed on all semester long, and ruined them, it just needed a new battery. Isn’t that always the way it is? I could have had my clock fixed weeks ago.
I’m off to wash the dishes. No, I don’t get a vacation just because it’s Mother’s Day. Not if I want the dishes washed properly anyway!
