Yesterday I came to chatter at you all only to discover my blog was locked down for “questionable content.”  I was already have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.  I couldn’t conceive of what I could have done.  Of course it turned out to by some sort of system glitch and the very nice WordPress people have fixed it.  So really the universe just spared you my whininess.  And saved me the embarrassment of having done it publicly.

Today is Crackerjack Sis’ 16th birthday.  I remember the day she was born very clearly.  So clearly, in fact, that some times it’s hard to imagine that she isn’t just a tiny little bundle that falls asleep on my chest.  Miss Monkeypants, watching you grow up has been one of the most exciting things I’ve ever been able to share in. I hope you have a good day, a good year and I’m so excited for the next 16 years of your life and the 16 after that. I love you, little sister.
