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.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Believe your Prof, vw--if s/he doesn't know how much you need to do, who does?

Now tagless for your comfort.
{{{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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
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.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

What is even happening?
But I came to each of those decisions individually because I thought they were the best for EllieThis 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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Stephanie, that picture of Ellie is the cutest thing to hit the internet in ages. OMG what a dollface!
Who knew a newborn had the power to kill me DED?

I've actually thought a lot about this since the last time we talked about it here. I recognize that I am totally one of those people that could wear myself out by trying to be a super-mom.
However, I've let Ellie sleep in my mom's room the last few nights so I could get enough sleep to study and my mom has occasionally given her a bottle in preparation for the exam. I know these are tiny things, but I see them as baby steps towards me not being a control freak wrt my child.
On a different note, how come no one told me that having a baby would make me cry at everything ? Maybe it's not this way for everyone, but I've been all upset at every murdered child, child bitten by shark, child drowned story on the news since she was born. I cried watching a The Practice with a dead infant last week. Being a mom has ruined my ability to enjoy TV!
eta: thanks Maria (and everyone else). For every cute picture, there are 15 goofy ones. I laugh at myself when I look at how many pictures I have on my computer now.
