Re: bedtime--O's been going in waves. Sometimes he's easy to get to sleep and sometimes not. Sometimes he'll sleep solidly through the night, sometimes not. I find the unpredictability more frustrating than anything else.
This. And you know how when they're first born, you're all paranoid and keep checking to make sure they're breathing? I'm back to doing that again when she has a good sleep night after a couple of bad ones in a row. I wake up naturally or to the alarm clock instead of her, and think, "I just slept 7 hours! And she went down 9 hours ago and hasn't made a peep. Something must be wrong!"
She woke up at 6:45 this morning but was persuaded to go back to sleep with a pacifier and some hairpats. We're not a house of morning people, and I wanted her to sleep while we took our showers. She hasn't woken up again yet.
Tep is the best Internet Mom Evah. As opposed to the actual moms here, who also kick ass.
Steph, are you in Berea, KY? cuz I luvvvvvvvvv that place.
I'm in Cincinnati -- SA goes to school in Berea, which is fortunately only 2 hours away.
I believe this sentiment changes daily.
Heh. It's the small victories. Like that I finally have time to clean my apartment and make it all pretty for you.

Also, today is the day I post about the wedding in India. You won't want to miss it.
Wow. Someone knew about Berea without me having to tell them. Weird.
Off to more wet and cold...

Seriously! This week, all I have to do is play with the software and figure out how it works, and then understand everything there is to know about potassium channels. That's not
too
much.

The only deviation from the road permitted by my dad on the trips from our home in Cleveland to his mother's home in panhandle Florida was our traditional stop at Berea College, and then for lunch at a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant (on the same block as The Daniel Boone Tavern IIRC) where we'd get the most amazing butterscotch pie. Some of my favorite childhood toys were gotten at Berea College.
we watched a show that took place at SA"s college last night - about dulcimer makeing. I have decicded all woodworking shows are successful only if my DH yells at them for doing something stupid saftey -wise.
and gronk.
and ptui. booldsugar is not where it should be - back to fitday to see if I can get things back to where they should be when I see the doctor in February.
Great. Now it's Teflon.

More than 50 years after DuPont started producing Teflon near this Ohio River town, federal officials are accusing the company of hiding information suggesting that a chemical used to make the popular stick- and stain-resistant coating might cause cancer, birth defects and other ailments.
Environmental regulators are particularly alarmed because scientists are finding perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, in the blood of people worldwide, and it takes years for the chemical to leave the body. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported last week that exposure even to low levels of PFOA could be harmful.
With virtually no government oversight, PFOA has been used since the early 1950s in the manufacture of non-stick cookware, rain-repellent clothing and hundreds of other products. The EPA says at this point there is no reason for consumers to stop using those items. But so many unresolved questions remain about PFOA that the agency is asking an outside panel of experts to assess the risks.
I think I'm going to take up smoking, mainlining bacon grease, and camping out in the Krispy Kreme lobby.
