[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.
I can't sleep. Everything hurts.
JZ's new haircut is foamy. Her color is very similar to mine.
Jilli is gorgeous as always, and I absolutely adore that outfit.
I was able to see the nephews last night when we went to pick up Talia for dinner. I took some pictures with James, who I finally got to see post-surgery. I will post them soon. He has gotten soooo big and even cuter.
Baby Plei was adorable.
Poor Cindy! I hope you're able to get some more sleep.
Are migraine "hangovers" normal for others who get them? I feel just fuzzy and still very off the day after the migraine is gone oftentimes. Also a weird taste in my mouth. I cannot brush my teeth enough. I usually end up drinking a lot of the jasmine green tea.
Yes. I get them too.
Because they're old enough though, the Pastor would like to talk to them. I'm glad, because I want to make sure they understand it, and choose it.
That's very cool.
Poor sj! I saw you on AIM for a minute, but then you signed off. I hope that means you headed back to bed. Feel better!
I need to get in the shower and start getting ready to go to work, but I'm sleepy and unmotivated. Thank goodness this is the last weekend of this. Next weekend I'll be in Delaware! Wheee!
sj, I'm sorry you couldn't sleep, either. Yay for finally seeing James! Is he getting nice and plump? Does he have to have a lot of follow up check ups, because of his surgery?
vw, I did not get more sleep, and now I'm contemplating the shower too, because everyone's up. Since I'm tired and bound to get more tired, I'm thinking maybe if I don't wait until the last possible minute to do everything I need to do, maybe I'll be less stressed. Novel idea (for me). :)
I hope you adapt quickly to this schedule. I know it is a big change in your routine. Why are you going to be in Delaware next weekend?
The next bit is baptism stuff, so people might want to skip, but I think vw would want to know, so...
That's very cool.It really has been. Both Ben and Julia accepted Christ a while back. Christopher seemed, to me, to be too young (emotionally) to broach the subject. I want their faith to be a free choice, and not merely an attempt to please us. I was thinking about Chris and this a lot though, and then one day, when it was just the two of us on our way home from his school, he asked me where Jesus is.
He asks a lot of questions about death and heaven, and my dad, so I figured that was what was on his mind. I just said that Jesus was in heaven, with Grampy. He then said, "Mommy, I think he's in my heart." I had to fight off the tears. As we pulled in the driveway, I told him he might be right, and asked him why he thought that. He said it was because he loves Him. I asked him if he ever prayed on his own (we all do bedtime prayers together, and say grace together) to tell Jesus that, and he hadn't. So we talked about it a little. I think he asked if Jesus was in my heart, and I said He was. And then he prayed, right there in the car. Meep.
Why are you going to be in Delaware next weekend?
My cousins live there. My aunt and uncle are up babysitting the kids so my cousin and her DH could go on a vacation (they've got four kids...an alone break is nice, I'm sure!). So, my a&u invited my mom and dad down to visit. Amtrak was running a deal where if you buy 2 tickets, the third was 10% (not 10% off, 10% of the full price), so mom and dad asked if I wanted to come with. I thought it might be a nice break...ran it past my boss, who was totally cool with it. So, I'm taking a long weekend. I'm really looking forward to it after working almost three weeks straight without a break.
He then said, "Mommy, I think he's in my heart."
Oh my! I've got chills and goosebumps! How sweet. Meep is right!
I'm glad you're doing this with the kids. It's really wonderful. Let me know how the meeting goes today. I'm sure it will be interesting. And, if you want to do it through e-mail, that's fine.
As a side note, my brothers and I all accepted Jesus in our hearts when we were around 4, so I think it can be understood at that time...you just have to be careful that it's not pushed, which it sounds like you totally have been doing. And, it's different for each kid...which, you know.
Poor sj! I saw you on AIM for a minute, but then you signed off. I hope that means you headed back to bed. Feel better!
Unfortunately, no. It means I had to go drag Teacup Guy out of bed so he could go to work. The poor guy is back to working 7 days a week. He needs some job~ma so he can get a good paying job and quit working the weekends in Retail Hell.
sj, I'm sorry you couldn't sleep, either. Yay for finally seeing James! Is he getting nice and plump? Does he have to have a lot of follow up check ups, because of his surgery?
He's HUGE! He weighs 17 pounds now. So cute and chubby. He has a lot of follow ups with doctors and is to avoid sick people for another year.
I am sorry that you were a fellow non-sleeper, Cindy. Also, that is a really sweet Christopher story.

And, it's different for each kid...which, you know.I was also four, and it was something I sought, because I understood it. But yeah, I wanted to both "suffer the little children" and not push them.

I am sorry that you were a fellow non-sleeper, Cindy. Also, that is a really sweet Christopher story.We should have met for breakfast. Also, thanks.
I usually end up drinking a lot of the jasmine green tea.
I crave the green tea beforehand.
My migraine hangovers are kinda like pre-migraine, where I can be tipped right over into the actual headache.
Actually, to be more accurate and echo what the ENT said -- that's probably not a hangover. That's a migraine, with the headache gone. Just like he suspects my dizzy spells are migraines where the headache never shows up at all.

We really should do this sometime; especially since you have yet to prove your existence to me.

He will be six months old on the 18th. You would never know there are health issues to look at him. He looks absolutely perfect.
Teacup Guy was also able to meet the nephews last night, which is something I really wanted. Too bad David decided to be shy, so I couldn't show off how brilliant he is.
Just like he suspects my dizzy spells are migraines where the headache never shows up at all.
My brother gets those. ENT suspects that his pain tolerance is so high that he can't feel them. He gets dizzy, though, and his pupils about pop out of his head. It's wild.
I'm at work. No one left me work to do, so I'll be filling out social security paperwork and writing my paper that is due on Tuesday. Fun, fun!
I crave the green tea beforehand.
Do you think there's any chance it triggers you, ita?

That's interesting. I would the occular migraines, and then have a tolerable (iow non-migraine) headache, after they went away. Come to think of it, I would have a little hung over feeling during that.
How did you test go? Do you have results yet?
