Connie, I am furious just reading about it. And very glad that D(bad bad bad bad, no cookie)H is okay. I hope the adrenaline buzz fades so you can relax. But don't feel guilty. No guilt. Bad husband.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Connie's husband wants a spanking.
And not in the good way.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Any experienced parents around?
What the hell are you supposed to do when they turn over and try to stand up/crawl away on the changing table? I can't hold her down, because then I wouldn't have my hands to change her with. So right now she's in the playpen half-dressed crying while I seethe with inappropriate anger and wait for DH to get out of the shower so I'll have a spare pair of hands.
I know all babies must do this, but I have no idea what to do about it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, anyone still on? I am tired, but just got off work (I am weekend house manager of the Unicorn Theatre) and we opened a new play tonight (some people there know ND! Small world! ND, you know a guy named Dean who teaches at UMKC?) and I am kinda wired.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Connie, I'd be furious, too.

Susan, I'm not an experienced parent by any means, but in a few families that I babysat for, when the kids got to that stage, if the parents couldn't get the baby to stay still on the changing table, they'd change them on a changing pad on the floor, so they didn't have to worry about falling.

Too big for the changing table. You need four hands? Use your legs. I used to sit down on the floor, trap my sons leg's under mine (sit with your legs apart, one of her legs under one of yours), and it gave me a fighting chance. She may still try to flip over, but it may delay her enough that you actually get the diaper changed. Good luck.

And, ugh. I'm freaking myself out now, because I'm getting some chest pains, which I'm 99.9% sure are just heartburn or something, but given what I know of my family history, this is still freaking me out.
