Worst Part of the Day - Trying to figure out the babysitter situation. I'm not sure if I should give another chance with some major guidelines or just not have her anymore. Husband has some mild opinions, but mostly it's on me. I feel like this happens a lot - the decisions are left to me, but the shit will hit the fan if something goes wrong. I perfer consensus and then sharing the "blame" or "kudos", but that's not so much how it works. (But note - I also hate being told what to do - so perhaps I am part of the problemo.)
Best Part of the Day - Finished this book which made me mildly depressed but mildly hopeful. (And mildly impressed that I started and finished a book in the same amount of time as I would have prior to children.) The book did fall on some same old and kind of tired (to me) themes and writing techniques from time to time, but it also presented relationships in an absolutely true way (and that what was depressing and hopeful). And the plot was engrossing and very original. This didn't happen in the book, but don't you wish the 85 year old you could write a letter to the 35 year old you and say "suck it up. it's not so bad. life is pretty good" or "live it up. Life's short." At least I'd hope that's what I'd write. Megan - please read this so we can discuss "The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

Mol-I did read Memory Keepers Daughter quite recently (fall time) and would enjoy a discussion...
Oh good - what did you think about it?
