There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

If I only had a brain...

Go Tickybox! As my pediatrician warned me, "She's going to have an orange nose."

I feel I should mention that she's always found the bowl tasty. This is just the first time she felt the contents were also worthy of her time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well bowls are kinda boobie-shaped. She's an optomist.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe sweet potato tastes like boobie?

I've heard (and vaguely remember) the cantalope juice thing-- sweet potatos aren't wildly different. Maybe mom juice tastes like sweet beta carotene.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sweet potatoes are kinda good, I can see why she likes them. So far, there haven't been any foods that Isaac has disliked, although he was a wee bit indifferent to green beans. But everything else has been serious yummers as far as he is concerned.

Ah, but maybe sweet potato tastes like boobie to a baby.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

What are their infant rates?

$1233/month. It drops to $997 for "transitional," which I believe is 12-18 months, $883 for toddlers, and $810 for preschool.

Though there's a 10% discount for two or more siblings, I'd need to be making serious money for having two in daycare to make sense. I think nannies start becoming better options once you're looking at 2 or more kids.

I'm exhausted just thinking what my life will be for the next few years. This will be my life for the forseeable future--working, writing, and trying to be a decent wife and mother.

Once more unto the breach....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's a grind, Susan, though it does ease up over time.

But it is very tough finessing work/commute/baby. Especially when both parents are working full time. It's just fucking hard.

And yeah, childcare for little poots is like an extra rent/mortgage payment.
