An Account of One's Own
If, in 1929, Virginia Woolf insisted that every woman needs a room of her own, then I would like to assert that, in 2010, a bank account of one's own also goes a long way toward peace of mind in a mother's life. (Or even a mattress in the room that you can stuff ....)
Is THIS Really Summer Vacation?
So, it's art class from 9 AM to noon the second week of July, "Summerkids" camp for 10 days in August (no bus, and it's two towns away) and YMCA camp from 9 AM to 2 PM for two weeks in August -- but I can't for the life of me remember which camp is which weeks.

That's when I started going out with different kinds of men -- men who showed up on time and noticed when I was in the room.

Can I say that my eyeballs are red and my hair is falling out from the most aggressive fundraising I have ever experienced?
