Happy Mother’s Day

Yes, it’s a day late, but I just read this lovely post from Michelle Sagara West, and I needed to share it.

We saw Rand’s mom yesterday…I sent my mom flowers and talked to her on the phone. I’m going to be seeing my parents this weekend, and Rand and I will be traveling to St. Marys next weekend.

Life continues to be crazy. It’ll get less crazy soon. I think.

Can I have that half hour back?

So we turned on the TV to watch How I Met Your Mother, and instead got live coverage of some sort of police standoff on the 190.

I have been watching this coverage for 20 minutes, and I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING.

They’re replaying (and narrating) how the police took the guy in the truck into custody. But you know what they haven’t done?

THEY HAVEN’T EXPLAINED WHY THERE WAS A STANDOFF IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You know what Channel 4? I haven’t been watching your coverage for the past three hours. I’m just saying, it might be helpful to clue your viewers in every now and then.

And then we join Two and a Half Men in progress. Thanks, Channel 4.
