Good morning!

The Survivor Finale at my boss's place was interesting, at least on the food front. My boss is a gourmet cook, but she decided to only serve food found on Survivor. Our first course was white rice with black beans. Followed by one fish stick each. Followed by stuffed quahogs which, thankfully, I really like. For dessert, Coworker Gina made dirt cake (you know - chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms) which I .love. And then after I'd had two servings, she mentioned that it wasn't so bad for you because she used sugar-free pudding. Argh, so much for avoiding all artificial sweeteners! Oh well, it was delicious.

For some reason, I had myself convinced that I had a really easy day today - just 3 home visits, home at 4. Except that I just realized I am totally WRONG, and have 4 home visits and an assessment, home around 7:15. Sucktacular. What was I thinking when I agreed to help out with that late assessment? Sometimes I am too nice for my own good. I'd really much rather be home at 4 or 5. Maybe it will get cancelled.

Two of our friends have no hot water because the pilot light for their hot water heater is under the water line of their basement flooding. Ugh, flooding is just awful. I want them to come stay with us instead!

I don't have anything going on at work today until 11. Nearly everything is compacted after lunch. Not the best way to schedule a day, but I'm enjoying the lounging in bed. I just wish Jen was awake so she would snuggle with me. Poo.

CONFESSIONS of the OTHER MOTHER:Non-biological Lesbian Moms Tell ALL

After author Harlyn Aizley gave birth to her daughter, she watched in unanticipated horror as her partner scooped up the baby and said, "I"m your new mommy!" While they both had worked to find the perfect sperm donor, Aizley had spent nine months carrying the baby and hours in labor, so how could her partner claim to be their child's mommy? Many diapers later, Aizley began to appreciate the complexity of her partner's new role as the other mother.

That sounds quite interesting, but I don't think we can go, sadly. We have Memorial Day type events on Saturday and Sunday, one of which is a bit of a drive, so heading out east the night before isn't as appealing to me - especially alone. (Jen's working.)

Sorry! :(
