Wasn't it just Christmastime?

Yes. But, soon it will be my birthday, so all will be ok.

askye, how exciting! Sorry about the no Internet service, but hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Nora, iPod! iPod! iPod! iPod! Also, {{{Nora}}}

And the stove doesn't sit flush with the wall and while I was making dinner I managed to flip a piece of chicken behind the stove.

This sounds so very much like something I would do. Actually, I think there's still a Chlorox bleach pen behind our washer.

Yay for moving in and the new modem coming! Glad you (and the kitty) are adjusting.

vw, insent.

and, backflung.

vw -- thanks!

It doesn't quite feel like home because I can't get online and post from there.

But, soon it will be my birthday, so all will be ok.

I keep waiting for mine to be declared a national holiday, but so far no luck.

June will likely kill me.

Taming June~ma to Nora.

What's going to kill me is Sara -- in the past month, she's decided that if she wakes up in the middle of the night, it's imperative that she scream and scream until we give in and bring her into bed with us. She always slept so well, I don't know what's going on. And she goes to bed awake at bedtime, so it's not a matter of her not being able to fall asleep on her own. At 2:30 a.m. (or 3:30 or 4:30), I just don't have the energy to go in and soothe her fifteen times until she gets the message that she has to go back to sleep in her crib. But a squirmy toddler in the bed does not make for a restful night.

Congratulations, Kristin! I'm eager to hear more whenever you're ready.

Yikes, Lilty. A family self-defense course sounds like an excellent idea to me. Anything that will help your great-aunt, etc., feel capable of holding him off until the police get there, should he try to force his way into the house or something. Deadbolts would probably help with that, as well.

Yay, house of your own, askye! Yay! When I've had doors that could only open with a key, I've left a copy stuck in the inside of the lock all the time. There may be a reason not to do that, but I don't know it if there is.

{{Nora}} At least you have achievable goals. Are you going to keep working where you are when you start school?

Amy, could it be night terrors? I understand their pretty common for toddlers.

Not that that will help get her to sleep, because I don't know any way to get rid of night terrors, but it might be an explanation, at least.

Amy, could it be night terrors?

I don't know. Neither of the boys had them, so I guess I should look it up.

I don't think I said congrats on the successful move, by the way. So congrats! All unpacked yet?

June! June! I love June! And not just because my birthday is in 23 days!!! June is summer, yo, and it fucking ROOOOLZ!!!1!

You seem to cook very acrobatically.
