Emmett: Then I want to go. She's my homeboy. Err...Homegirl. [turning to Matilda] Hey Homie! I'm gonna call her homebaby.
Awwww! That's so best!

I got up at oh-dark-thirty to see R off this morning, then went back to bed confident that the Toddler Alarm would wake me as per usual. Alas, he slept until the nanny arrived at 7:45, and she came in without waking me since we'd deactivated the alarm when R left. So she got him up quietly and let me sleep.
Until 10:30.
I was a wee bit late to work, but man it was good. Plus I got that luxury of luxuries, a shower sans toddler.
Yay, Emeline!
(((Kristin))) Back-ma.
I had the most wonderful, relaxing weekend. Teacup Guy not working on the weekends still feels like an extra special treat.
Good for you, Raq, you must have needed it.
Poor Kristin! I hope you're still sleeping soundly, love.
Oh, Raq! How nice for you!
Yay for good weekends!
Coffeeeeeeeeeee...I need coffeeeeeeeee.
Oh, Kristin, I'm sorry about your back horror show.
Go Emeline on the potty! Go Emmett being cute!
My friend is still alive, as I just got an extremely nasty email from her describing how her life sucks and how I can't understand her and she can't understand me. The subtext is, since her life sucks and mine doesn't, that I am somehow responsible for her unhappiness. I am thankful this is in email form, as I have experienced it in person and on the phone and it's a little easier to take in this format.
I know she's sick, and that pushing her friends away is a sign of that. I just want her to get help, and she seems so resistant to that. She's just not ready to be healthy, and there's so little anyone else can do, short of having her committed.
In conclusion: feh.
{{Nora}} I'm sorry for your friend, I hope she gets help soon. I also hope she realizes what a good friend she has someday.
{{Krisitn}} Back-pain~ma! And may the pain in the butt (not ND) go away quickly, too.
Oh, Nora. I'm so sorry, for both you and your friend.
Kristin, much back healing to you, you poor baby.
Oh, Nora. Feh is so right. And you're so right to realize that until she wants to help herself there's not much you can do. And, while committing her would keep her safe, it may not do much good right now because of that. I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. Much love to you both.
Thanks, guys. It's just so hard to stand by and watch. And now that she's isolated herself even further by moving to another part of the state, there's just so little that can be done. We are planning on going to visit her this weekend, and we don't even know if she'll see us, and if she does, it is sure to be unpleasant. But at least she knows we care, right?
