Yesterday:
1. Come home from work, grab Caitlin, take her to therapist appointment.
2. Come home, grab Rebecca, run to CVS for essential hair and lip products. Spend $69. Satisfying your teenager's insatiable desire for beauty products is not priceless, no matter what Master Card says.
3. Get home around 8:00. Collapse.
4. Do some work while completely exhausted, which is akin to driving under the influence - very bad results.

Today:
1. Do not even come home from work. Go to Rebecca's school to pick her up from basketball practice. Sit in parking lot 30 minutes and try to use laptop in fading light to answer multitude of urgent emails.
2. Take Rebecca to salon where Caitlin is getting her hair dyed. Much time left to go, so take Rebecca to dinner.
3. Return from dinner. Find that there is still much time left to wait. Try to amuse Rebecca is broken iPaq while waiting.
4. Come home and discover that Caitlin hates the hair color and wants to shave her head. Again. Dissuade her from doing so by agreeing to buy her another bleaching and dye kit so that she can try to achieve the color (royal purple) that she wants (do not inform her that applying any more chemicals to her hair will likely result in baldness anyway). Inform her that all women hate their hair for most of their lives. Does nothing to make her feel better. Damn beauty products. Still not priceless.
5. Collapse again. More work to do.
