Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

And tonight?

A triumph of event scheduling conducted entirely by wild arm-waving and gesticulation!

I have to pick up the dry cleaning, go by the in-laws to pick up their mail, get home in time to choke down some food, then turn right around and load up Middle Girl for soccer practice, AND take Boy and Baby Girl with me to the park, because Mom has to go to a meeting at school with Baby Girl's teacher to discuss all the wonderful things the dear child will learn this year.

It is at times like these I realize how odd it is to have more than one child. The teacher meeting was specifically noted as being PARENTS ONLY. No children. "Send the parent who works more closely with child on homework."

Right.

Which would be fine if you have someone to watch your child, or only one child to watch, but having a litter of puppies with a broad range of ages and extracurricular activities makes such exercises a real test of endurance. Of which I have precious little.

Maybe I could teach the 10 year old to drive.
