Apropos

Inspired by Julie (although not as mean-spirited as some other sisters-in-law).

Beloved Sis:

Knowing that I work online, with my computer, on the Internet, for money, from home, by myself, with two small children who refuse to get along or leave me alone, could you find it in your heart to postpone your RENT sing-along and stop the Bear from trying to defenestrate the Tank? Just for a minute?

Thanks,
Jane


*It should be duly noted that when I say "from home" I really mean "from my in-laws' home" and that the couch, TV, and lazy summer day that I'm appropriating were all hers before we showed up here. So, yeah, we're a loud, messy, obnoxious band of rag-tag gypsies, but we're family. Throw me a frickin' bone here.
