This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went with the Lebanese food. Got a falafel, and a platter that's got hummus, baba ganouj, veggie stuffed grape leaves, cheese pie, spinach pie, and salad. Figure I can have the falafel now, and save the rest for lunch and dinner tomorrow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Fellow parents, tell me it's normal and ok to just walk away from the screaming, irrational child. She doesn't want to be consoled, she doesn't want me to touch her, she doesn't want me to sit down by her, she doesn't want me to leave the room.

I don't know what is wrong with her. It started because she didn't want to leave daycare and has progressed from there. Full out meltdown.

Parenting hard. Beer oh-so very preety.

Normal and oh-so necessary sometimes. She'll be two next month?

I'm with sumi and Hil. Let me rephrase. I'm not with sumi and Hil, but I agree with sumi that Hil's food sounds delish. I can order in pizza or fake Chinese, but their both pretty good, so I'm not complaining. Much.

Mostly, I just really, really want a brief moment where I'm caught up. I'd really like to be caught up at work and at home, but I'd settle for either. Well, clearly I'd settle for neither, but I'd like either.

Also, I skipped like crazy and am about to do the same in Natter. It's all the fault of work, knitting, and rediscovering my former addiction to Alchemy, which is fortuitously apparently the only game that works on my work computer.

Yep.

She stops screaming long enough to take a drink of milk or a bite of cereal, of which she is on her third bowl.

That reminds me to send you my copy of the Girlfriend's Guide to Toddlers. And good luck. It *eventually* gets better.

Oh, Aimee, I will keep my fingers crossed for 7, but I think it's unlikely.
