A few of you expressed concern over the "my life just became an Adam Sandler movie" quip in the comments to the "blogs save lives" entry. Here's the high concept: a 34 year old who considers W.C. Fields![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png)
a personal hero, and has made some pretty emphatic decisions about his attitudes about having children ends up with a 9 year old. Hilarity ensues.
I'm waiting for the hilarity.
Charlene's sister is going throug some life changes, and her son, Forest, is staying with us for a few 'til things get settled out. Charlene's taking the brunt of this, 'cause her work is mostly at home, but this morning, on the last dregs of my cell phone battery, I called my mom and thanked her for every time she didn't drive away from a rest stop while I was in the bathroom.

The hilarity is most likely there, just not evident while the (imagined?)crisis is still under way. Having a kid (or even an adult) as a houseguest for a prolonged period of time can become tiring but I know you well enough to know that you are up to the challange and I know the child will be a better person for the visit. Once the visit is over you will see the hilarity.

Thank her for the times she stopped and came back. 8^)=
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
