Phew. I'm all exhausted. Not from house cleaning because Lee came over to do that before the Buffista shower for JZ tomorrow.
No, I've gotten sucked into the breakup between EM and her ex-fiance. And I wouldn't except that it's affecting Emmett. But I just spent an hour talking to both of them separately.
Trust me, I'm not doing anything to negotiate stuff. But he needed to be told that there are important Boundaries that cannot be crossed including showing up unannounced in an upsetting manner, particularly when kids are there.
In Seinfeldian parlance, he's a bad breaker-upper.
Yeah, Hec, if this is affecting Emmett in any way, it's within your rights to take a stance. Also, that just sucks.
I wish I could make it to the shower.

Who's stopping you?! They should stop stopping you and let you shower for 20 minutes, dammit.
I bet O & O could play in the bathroom for the duration of a shower if your DH is unavailable for guard duty.
Yikes.
The good news? He's not dangerous.
The bad news? He's spiraling and obsessing.
I don't know how people deal with this when the other person
is
dangerous. You must feel like you've slipped out of the safe protection of the law when somebody is stalking or harassing you.
Sometimes bad breaker-upper means bad human being. 'Cos if you're doing shit in front of the kids, that makes you a PENIS. And I may have had one too many drinks, but I also speak from experience. And I say PENIS.
Sorry you have to deal with that, Hec, but I am glad you are for Emmett's sake.

I actually have a great set up in the house. Each floor of the house has it's own baby-proofing system which does allow me some latitude and Owen is pretty good about amusing himself for longer and longer periods of time WITHOUT getting into trouble. And Liv's still good for a 15 minutes in the crib or exersaucer so I'm clean MOST of the time.
It's the buffista-y goodness I'm going to be missing out on. Feh. I heard the food's going to be good, too.
The bad news? He's spiraling and obsessing.
Oof. That really sucks.
You must feel like you've slipped out of the safe protection of the law when somebody is stalking or harassing you.
Seriously. I've never had anything worse than repeated phone calls (+ text messages + emails), and that was bad enough.
