Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[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.
{{{Erin}}} I can totally relate, babe. I'm sorry you're going through this, and I hope you can get back on your meds soon.
I made it through 2.5 hours of work. I'm going in early tomorrow to make up the time. Everything I needed to do was on the computer, and since my boss and I are sharing a computer right now, well, this is going to be interesting. Also, she's interesting. I hope she grows on me, 'cause right now I'm finding her quite annoying.
Also, apparently, I'm going to class tonight. My prof really thinks I can catch up and finish the session, so I'm gonna try. We'll see how it goes and how far behind I am.
Oh, I forgot about the new boss aspect of today, vw. This isn't the awful woman you sisn't want them to hire, I hope.
No, it's not the awful woman. But, she is kind of weird. I'm sure I'll get used to her, though. She's nice enough...just weird.
Believe your Prof, vw--if s/he doesn't know how much you need to do, who does?
{{{Erin}}} I hope the suck gets less. What everyone else has already said.
Aimee, area rugs are always a good thing. My friend got a nice one at target and even put some carpet padding underneath it so it's a very cozy play area.
At least I don't have a class to worry about this summer, thank dog. Sounds like your prof is sensible, vw. Take the advice people are giving me that I will take, and take it easy.
(did i just sound like Derek Zoolander? Just me? 'k.)

I plan on getting some thick thick padding. Maybe even foam or summat.

Exactly. And, if she's willing to work with me while I try to catch up, I think I can do it.
Ok...gotta walk the dog and get off to class. Talk to you all later.
vw - Robin is exactly right. Oh, and I'm sorry your new boss is weird.
I just had to jump in on the infant potty training thing because I actually bought a book about it while I was pregnant. After reading the book, I thought it sounded just like potty training a dog, except way more work and for a way longer time. I briefly considered it but decided that a) it was more effort than I could put forth and b) I didn't want to be constantly justifying why I was doing it to other moms. In the end, I just bought some fantastic cloth diapers and went with that.
I never meant to be an "attachment parent." A lot of times, they come off as really dogmatic. But I guess I'm going down that road, what with the natural childbirth, breastfeeding, cloth diapers, and co-sleeping. But I came to each of those decisions individually because I thought they were the best for Ellie and me and saved us a ton of money.

This is the way to do it girl, but don't forget when the choices are "It's not bad for Ellie, and it is good for me," it is okay to choose those, too. Hec's "Good Enough" theory of parenting has a lot to commend it.
Ellie is still brannie new, as is Lily. There are lots of things I would never have dreamed of doing when a baby was a month or three old, that I felt quite comfortable with at 6, 9, or 12 months.
