[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, she took 6 oz of formula no prob and is napping. Doc will see her at 3:30 and I'm having Working Mother Guilt issues.
I missed work on Monday. And now Em's sick and I missing today. I need to take care of my daughter - no question. Even if I'm just having new mom freak out. But I need to do my job, too. I feel like I'm letting them down. If she's sick tomorrow then Joe's staying home (it's why he got the permanent job, after all) and I can work Saturday to catch up but damn I hate this.

I'm having Working Mother Guilt issues
Sorry to say it never gets better. I always feel like I do a half-assed job at work because I am distracted by family, and I do a half-assed job of mothering because I am distracted by work.
Luckily my children and customers feel I do I good job at both. I know this is the case with you too. Just do the best you can sweety.

Finally caught up after a busy-busy few days.
Happy Birthday Stephanie!!!
Congrats to KB, ouch-that's-SO-what-I-do-style sympathy to Kristen, feel-better-ma to wee Em, no-seriously-you're-doing-great-ma to Empress Mommy.
Lilty, I totally feel your pain. My best friend needs to leave her job (before they finish trampling her soul), and can't find anything doing what she wants to do around here. She had an interview last week in TX, and she's leaving tomorrow for one in MD. I'm in denial/panic mode - I have a few other local friends, but not another BEST friend. But I also know she needs to do this and I can't hold her back. Sucks tryin' to be mature, huh? (The money thing, too. Use your folks as a safety net, since you can and they don't mind. Happens to the best of us).
That's all I can remember. Hope I didn't forget anything important.
edited 'cuz "Stephanie"-colored was not as festive as I had in mind.

I think this is what it'll be. For one, I think my mother is actually happy. She was the one to suggest it, after I went over agonizing over the best way to ask if it was a possibility. I said "Sam's moving." and she said "Shit, hon, I'm sorry. Want to move home? You can have your own wing." (FTR, my parents live in a glorified trailer.) I think she'll like having someone to talk to again. And I'll feel better knowing that I can give her a couple hundred a month to help out.
I'm really going to miss Sam, though. We have a good time.
