But someday I will die in paper flood.
This is me too. Or possibly a book flood. I can't believe how much junk paper work I got rid of yesterday.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I wanted to drive out there and bitch slap Britney after the car seat fiasco. There were a couple of times when I've had to put my kids in a car seat where there was screaming, Owen scratching his face in frustration and (as a toddler) stiffening up and fighting me the whole time. I had people watching me and, I'm sure, empathizing or pitying me. But I took the time and did it even though it made us all completely miserable.
That driving down the freeway with a kid on your lap shit made me ballistic. I've yelled at people I've seen driving around town here with babies and toddlers out of car seats.

A six month old was killed in an accident here this morning. Apparently in a seat, though, but they're not sure that it was hooked up properly. This follows Sunday afternoon's death of a six year old (among others) playing in the park when people drag racing caused an accident that sent a car hurtling into the field.
Sometimes people suck.

Putting a resisting kid in a car seat is not fun.

Sweating, vomit inducing lack of fun.

What is even happening?
(Sometimes, when you're really annoyed by the car-seat tantrum, it is almost fun.)

Who wants to cover me while I go over there and resue that baby from a life of ridiculous parenting that borders on dangerous?
Empress, you do remember that I have a connection on the Malibu Sheriffs? (Matter of fact, one of the officers on the scene for the Brittany Baby Shower BB Gun shooting a few months back). Lemme see what I can do to get you in and out with backup.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe freaked me out a couple of weekends ago.
He and my parents and Emeline rode up to my job at the dealership. About 20 miles of all freeway driving from our house. When they got there, I opened the van door to get Emeline out and notcied the car seat WASN'T ATTACHED! Em was strapped in, but the seat wasn't attached to the car. I didn't get angry, really. Usually, the seat never gets moved, but I had unfastened it the night before when I picked my parents up from the airport. Joe was freaked out. Now neither of us drives anywhere without making sure the carseat is buckled in a sooper tight.
