"When you are this mean to me, I wish I just lived with my dad." -Patrick Walden
And so it begins. This is what I get for refusing to accept the recommendation that Skittles be the entree for dinner last night instead of the Jaipur veggies and rice that I had made. Silly me. Well, silly Patrick for forgetting how mad he was at me when he came crawling into bed with me at 11:30 after a nightmare and wanted me to snuggle him back to sleep. Apparently, I can't be all that bad.
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
