Fellow parents, tell me it's normal and ok to just walk away from the screaming, irrational child.
Normal and oh-so necessary sometimes. She'll be two next month?

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[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.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
She'll be two next month?
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.

What is even happening?
Rational, necessary and wise (and if you can throw her wee butt in bed and let her yell in there, even better, because maybe she'll exhaust herself and conk out).

Aw, Em isn't wasting any time getting a jump on the Terrible Twos, is she? Sorry, Aims.
ION I am a big cranky poopyhead who is a bad friend and an asshole to boot. Fortunately, no one knows except me and Tom (who for some reason denies this)... and you guys. But I haven't let on my assholishness to the person who is making me cranky, so that's good.

Have a sippy of milkies and the Care Bear movie. I have witnessed its power.
Dear O -
While I can appreciate you wanting to have something to talk to your betrothed about one day, let's not have it be about the tantrums the both of you threw, mmmkay?
Ta, ever so, Future SiL,
Aimee
