So, I just get to my computer after a very busy day and what a day I missed. vw, I'm so glad you are back home safe. I was worried as I was reading. i'm also thrilled to be part of a board where people actually call and check on each other. I should be used to it by now, but it's still cool.
I odn't think I"ve ever left Ellie in the car. Today, I let her sleep in there a while, with the window down, in the driveway, while I was 15 feet away planting flowers. I can't imagine *ever* leaving her in a city setting.
Happy Anniversary, Laura!
ftr, vw, I've had little meltdowns that seep (or splat) in here and to my utter chagrin, have been caught. Yeah, it's embarrassing. But it's also been reassuring (though annoying to burst into tears at work!) to know there is a net of people who care about me. And frankly, your medical issues of late are NOTHING to be embarrassed about. They are serious and all the extra people keeping an eye out are kind important right now. It isn't under your control. When they seep (or splat) through, it just lets your net tighten up to help you through. Or get you to the ER, or hug the pets. Whatever it takes.
(forgive me if I step on toes. That aren't asleep.)
Ugh, I just got the "you're smothering me" speech. What's so wrong with "you're pretty"?
::sigh:: It seems like most of my relationships start out this way. I really need to work on slowing down and feigning indifference at the same time being interested in her.
Women are strange beasties.
I would have named her Victoria. And called her Tori of course.
I've got a step-cousin with that name. Er, had. She now goes by Ma'ikwe. Yeah, think I would have stuck with the Tori, myself.
Thanks for the happies people. Clearly we are old fuddy duddy married couple. He's already asleep and I'm catching up on line. We did go out to lunch! He was up at 5 and I was up at 6. I'm taping Doctor Who because I have little chance of staying awake.
A scary number of times I have seen infants in car seats in running cars while the parent runs into the 7-11 to pick up something. There's always a better plan than that. I ran around with the kids so much I didn't think much about getting them in and out of the car awake or asleep bunches of times a day. I did leave the boys asleep in the car when in my driveway.
not being indifferent- but more willing to go with the flow , Eddie. there is nothing wrong with you're pretty - but when and where were things when you said that?
BTW, I hate being smothered. and yet , somehow I ended up with a DH that is extreamly attentive and wants to know where I am and what i am doing - just 'cause he cares. Life is strange.
happy day laura. - The best thing about being an old fuddy- duddy married person is that fact that lunch counts.
Women are strange beasties.
Well, yeah, and men too. The whole being able to read the other person's mind thing takes time.
