'Lineage'
[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.
This came after (in reference to a Scottish teacher of considerable girth) the 'Mr D is a heavyweight in the teaching profession. When he first arrived I was very impressed when we went to the pyramids and he actually got on a horse! And some of you may remember the Fun Run? I thought I'd be fine if I ran next to Mr D, (moves to stand next to teacher) - yes, I thought, then I'd look good... but although he might not look it, he's actually surprisingly fit!"
etc etc.
OHMIGOD.
Why is this man still alive, much less a superrvisor?
And what did he say about your roomie and you?
"THEY ARE BRITISH LESBIANS! BWAHAHAHA!"
Fay -- that man is just AMAZING.
What I want to know now, is his asshatted behavior considered unusual among Egyptians or is it culturally okay to say that sort of thing in Egypt?
Was this some sort of bizarre teacher roast?
Please, Goddess and moms...why isn't Em sleeping through anymore? Why does she wake anywhere from 12-3 am and want to play??
So the cable guy actually came in the first half-hour of his two-hour window! Though to keep up the cable-guy tradition, he buzzed just as I'd gone into the bathroom. But he fixed the cable! Then he teted it on some soap operas. But then he left it on a movie that I identified in 20 seconds as being Satisfaction! Early (1988!) Julia Roberts as a supporting cast member, starring Justine Bateman, with Liam Neeson as broken-down older man music industry veteran.

Aimee, what do you do with her (other than make faces behind her back) when she wakes? Do you think you're doing anything she could construe as a reward for waking, then?
Also--is she teething? Do you dope her up before she goes to sleep (with baby Tylenol or orajel, or something)?
When she wakes, we try to put her back down in her crib, but then she gets back up again screaming. So, we end up bringing her to bed with us in the hopes that she falls asleep again so we can put her back in her crib. This isn't working anymore. Now, she wants to play. Sometimes a bottle gets her to sleep. Sometimes, it doesn't.
Letting her cry it out would be ideal, but when she's in our room, it's hard.
Also, we've been getting her on a bedtime routine so she knows when it's bedtime and it was going well and it went to shit when she was sick.
I have no advice on baby sleep. I prayed to the magic sleep fairies for 18 months before I got some relief, and I'm still up at 3 am several nights a week. You wanna talk about bad mommies...
Okay, I do have a piece of advice. Ear plugs.
