Three little people are two years old! I am so tired from going non-stop all day. It was fun, though there was no need for me to try constantly getting us to a million places. The birthday kids each fell asleep at different parts of the non-stop day. I feel like collapsing asleep myself.

Dear Greeting Card Companies,
Two-year-olds do not need stickers and glitter in their birthday cards. That is not safe. Who on earth thought that was a good idea? What if they were to swallow those things?

Stella Grapes Wrote:What are the names of some of these obscure holidays? I thought that St. Patricks Day was obscure enough as not many people celebrate that here, and that holiday wasn't created by a bank or corporation.
Mostly days in honor of political figures and certain workers. Some are stranger. National Mustard Day occurs in the week before school starts. Is there a celebration of mustard? No.

And starting August I might have to work on Sundays as well, though not every Sunday.
In any case, I'll be just fine.
I hope you truly will be, because that sounds exhausting just thinking about it. I could never work daily on construction, even though I'm helping to build a house. I think the bank and school holidays exist in number as they do in large part because, sexist against my own gender as this is going to sound, most women tire easier than most men. Women are the majority of employees in banks and schools, at least on this side of the hemisphere and in most countries as far as schools go.

David's mention of Berry Brick Road just reminded me, the name
Gladys has a
crummy meaning. Its roots are in the name Claudia, the female form of Claudius. There was a man named Claudius was a Roman emperor despite being born blind and unable to walk.
Anyway, Gladys also means other things. What I also find interesting is that Gladys and Claudia hold the record as the name used most often for my archetype. I lost count of how many times they have been used that I know of, though. That was among the things lost on my dead hard drive.
- The name means, in alphabetical order:
- Berry
- Countryside (Possibly)
- Disabled
- Princess
- Sword
The middle definition is the most commonly known definition. I, ah, actually just found out all those other meanings tonight.
Huh.

One of those naming websites had a link to a gender predictor for unborn babies. How you can predict gender based on dates and ages is beyond me. I don't think you really can. Since I was in the mood for coincidences not being coincidences, I decided to give it a try. My age is off the charts by one year. So much for that. It predicted wrong for me last time, anyway. (You could technically say it predicted right, in the sense that I did gain
a boy.) It predicted right for Dee, who probably didn't use it.
