Omg I had one child home sick, am sick myself, and now one of the boys isn’t looking so hot. We spent like an hour in Safeway waiting for antibiotics (there was a mob in the place - it was just like the bank run in It’s a Wonderful Life). And now we’re doing dinner and baths and homework, SIMULTANEOUSLY, I kid you not: I gave Tylenol to one child in the bath and confiscated part of a soggy Oreo in the process, there are all sorts of fish stick fingerprints on homework, and I cannot for the life of me remember the eleventy billion things I was supposed to accomplish this evening, as there was no way I could work today. Daphne and I were curled into twin fetal positions in my bed while UPS, the postman, and people selling things knocked on the door and my phone rang off the hook. FOR PETE’S SAKE if you bother to dial, why don’t you SPEAK when I answer? If the delay is more than half a second I assume you are a computer and I hang up. So there.

Anyway, I do have something new for you: the shop at Pear Soup, The Soup Kitchen has reopened to much fanfare! Hurry on over to get priceless gems such as the one you see here. I’ll even make ‘em custom, if your kid’s funny enough.
