Morning Stan!

I guess I should have been clearer about the whole Birth Order business. I have an older sister ("The First Born"), then there's me ("The Innocuous 2nd Girl"), then came my brother ("The Heir to the Throne and First Boy"), and finally then the next brother ("The Baby"). So my point in the song would be that everyone but me has a special designation....I still haven't flushed it out beyond that, but it might be fun to play with....

I'm feeling tons better today...amazing what talking to other grown-ups and getting out of the house and schmoozing with family and having someone else cook dinner can do for a gal.

But the kids are home for the holiday today..so after this quick jaunt, chasing my meds with some more coffee, it's off to the docs to hopefully be free at last, free at last, Bethy wants to be fiberglass free at last!!

MY personal clock is all adither -- was up til 4 AM for no good reason, so I might try to catch a snooze since JJ works at home on Mondays....but maybe I should just try to stay awake and get to bed at a decent hour tonight to re-regulate myself.

If I'm alert enough after the kids go to bed, I'll try to spend a bit on "passing the buck" (do have a couple of lines I was toying with....)

Step right up
Try your luck
Don't pass it up
Pass the buck

You're standing in line
A kid starts to whine
You look behind
Whaddya do....?
Pass the buck

There's a man with a sneer
With a six pack of beer
He fills you with fear
Whaddya do....?
Pass the buck

Nothing set in stone, just trying to do some rhyming, you know me...luckily BUCK can be a free-for-all. Haven't done anything about the RECIPIENTS's responses yet...that'll be neato!

So ciao for now, glad your sidewalk is as fresh as a daisy. I think you might have another hook in there....

xoxo,
Betherooksi
