  • I've become so jaded. Unless I recognize the #, or there's caller ID, I don't answer my cell or home phone. If it's important, leave a msg. #
  • Or, if it's *really* important, call me back. If the same # calls twice, I'll answer it. #IHatePhoneSpam #
  • There's more than a little solidarity in ignoring unknown phone calls it seems. Next step will be to ditch the home phone completely. #

  • Had to wake both kids from late-afternoon nap for supper. Emotional disaster x2. Never seems worth it. #

  • It's almost 10 pm. Q has been fighting sleep for almost 3 hrs now. Happy Father's Day. #
  • Hmrph. Turns out both boys are still awake. No more late afternoon naps, no matter how much they need them. Also, never wake a sleeping kid #
